Jamie Marks Is Dead Page #3

Synopsis: In a wintry small town, the body of a teenager named Jamie Marks is found by the river. Adam, the star of his cross-country team, becomes fascinated with Jamie-a boy nobody really knew or interacted with, except occasionally to bully him. When Jamie's ghost begins to appear both to Adam and Gracie, the classmate who discovered the body, Adam is caught between two worlds. He has a budding romance with Gracie, but he also feels a deep connection to Jamie, who brings him closer to the world of the undead.

Come here.

I'm thinking about leaving.

Where would you go?

Jamie says I can maybe stay

with Frances for a few days...

What the f***, Adam?!

Why are you messing

around with Mooney Marks?

I'm not messing around with Jamie...

Call it what you want.

I... I need to get away for a few days.

You can't give him what he needs.

How do you know what he needs?

Oh, and you do?

He just needs to be loved.

You of all people

should understand that.

I don't want anyone to tell

me who to feel sorry for.

Don't feel sorry then.

Fine, I won't!

You know what?

You are going to be the

one that's sorry, Adam.

You'll see.

Are you okay?

I went to go say goodbye to Gracie.

Frances says we can stay.

I'll go get things

ready, and you can meet me

over there tomorrow, okay?

Okay.

Can I have another?

Word?

Sorrow.

Say it like you mean it.

Sorrow.

Thank you, Adam.

Hey, Adam.

You made it!

We'll stay in the barn over there.

- The barn?

- Yeah.

It doesn't look like much, but it's dry,

there's lots of room,

and no one will see you from the road.

Okay.

Come on.

Aren't you gonna introduce us?

Oh, sorry, she's... she's a little shy.

I'm shy too.

Frances, this is my good friend Adam.

Nice to meet you.

Come on, Adam, let's go.

I'll make you a fire.

Let's go.

Come on, Adam.

There you go.

Warm, huh?

Don't pay attention to her.

She's just jealous.

Jealous of what?

Of you.

Let's play a game.

Okay.

I'm gonna tell you a story...

And then you tell me one.

What kind of story?

A story about me.

Something you remember.

Like this,

I remember this one time

when you won first

place at the track meet,

which meant you'd go to state,

and the team picked you

up on their shoulders

and carried you around.

You were there?

Of course.

I like watching you run.

It's like reading a poem.

You sort of run that way.

Like a line in a poem.

Thanks.

It's your turn.

Tell me one about me.

Okay.

Come on, slowpoke!

No, I, um...

I remember this one time...

I think it was the spring

because it was really muddy.

I was running past your house,

and I saw you in your bedroom window.

Uh, at least I think

it was your bedroom.

I think... I think you saw me too.

You know, neither of us waved.

Tell me again.

What was I wearing?

Did I look happy or...

Or sad?

You didn't look sad.

What the hell?

It's them.

Who?

Her parents.

What is she doing?

What she does every morning.

She kills them.

Let's go.

This wasn't a good idea, like...

We can go somewhere else.

Why does she do it?

It's her thing, Adam.

Leave it be.

Let's go, let's go.

Adam, let's just go.

Let's go.

Oh, my God.

Enjoy the show, b*tch-boy?

What the hell's wrong with you?

That's what I want to know.

Nothing's wrong with me.

Oh, yeah?

Why do you and your dead boyfriend

have to hang out in my barn?

- Let's go.

- You psycho.

I'm so sorry, man.

I never should have brought you here.

She promised me she wouldn't do this.

You can't handle real life?

You don't have the guts to be like us.

Frances, stop!

You don't know anything.

Is b*tch-boy gonna cry?

Cry like a baby!

Or do you only do that for Jamie?

Don't listen to her, Adam.

- Is that it?

- Shut up.

Adam, let's go.

You just can't stand the heat.

Maybe you should take

your dead boyfriend

and get out of the f***ing kitchen!

Adam, let's go, please!

I'll show you heat.

Adam, what are you doing?!

- F*** you, Frances!

- No!

We don't need your sh*t!

- Oh, my God.

- Let's go.

Oh, my God.

You shouldn't have done this, Adam.

What did you do?

You shouldn't have done this.

This is mine!

This is my house!

No, no, no, no, no!

No, no!

You motherfucking cocksucker!

You're a f***ing cocksucker!

This is mine!

Mine!

No, no!

Run!

Go!

Go, Adam, go!

Jamie!

Get off me!

Get out of here!

Are you okay, kid?

How much?

Three dollars.

Change?

No.

Hello?

- Hi.

- Adam?

What's going on?

I burned down the Wilkinson farm.

Where are you?

Behind the old Apollo.

How glamorous.

Is he there with you?

No.

He's mad at me.

I don't know where he is.

Are you lying to me?

No, Gracie, I'm not lying to you.

I don't know where he is.

Look...

I think I have to go.

Adam, don't go anywhere, okay?

I'll be there as soon as...

No, Gracie, listen to me,

you can't...

I'm not mad at you, Adam.

I'm just disappointed.

You shouldn't have done that.

You had no right.

I know.

I'm sorry.

You wouldn't do anything

like that to me, would you?

Of course you wouldn't.

Why were you running away from me?

I wasn't running away from you,

I was just... I was just running.

What was that place?

Were those people all dead?

Don't worry about them, Adam.

If I could see them,

does that mean they could see me?

Huh?

I would never let them hurt you, Adam.

Come on.

I'll make you a fire.

Jamie, where's Frances?

Don't worry about her.

I'm protecting you.

Are you okay?

Maybe you should just come home.

No.

You can't just hide out forever.

I know that.

What was she like?

Awful.

Her parents were there too.

She'd kill them...

Every morning, over and over.

Poor thing.

She's not a poor thing!

She's a f***ing psychopath

b*tch that attacked me.

Don't get all compassionate

all of a sudden.

It's why we're here in the first place.

Yeah, well, I would be a b*tch too

if I had to kill my

parents over and over again

every morning for all of eternity.

You know, none of this

would have ever happened

if you had just listened to me

and stayed the f***

away from Mooney Marks.

I really should go.

I don't want you to get in

any more trouble than you are.

But this... it's fine, Adam.

I brought you some things.

Just a pillow, some food.

You didn't have to.

I know.

Adam?

I think that I love you.

And I just wanted you to know that.

Thanks.

I like it here.

Just me and you.

We could stay like this forever.

Come here.

Don't you ever do that again.

...The tropical and pristine

coast of Belize.

Wow!

A visit to this tiny country

at the northern tip of Central America

is a magnificent visit back in time.

You'll see ancient Mayan ruins,

second only in size to the

great pyramids of Egypt.

Or spend the day island hopping.

Mom?

On one of the hundreds of

tiny tropical islands...

...Is second only in size

to the great barrier reef off Australia.

Absolutely.

It's really a spectacular trip.

Next, you'll wave goodbye to Belize

as we set sail for

the undiscovered jewel

of the Caribbean,

Roatan Island, Honduras.

Sounds like an adventure.

Oh, it is, Janet.

This is truly one of the most

untouched and beautiful islands

on the planet.

Jamie?

Jamie, is that you?

You wish.

Frances.

Don't be scared.

What do you want? You owe me, Adam.

It was an accident, Frances.

I swear.

And if you think for a second...

...I'm letting you get away with it,

then you're really as

pathetic as I thought you were.

Maybe I'll burn down your house.

Burn your mom

as she tries to climb out

of the bed into the chair.
