I- I couldn't pee

in front of people.

So, then he turned to face me...

He was playing with himself.

And, yes, I looked.

I mean...

Who doesn't look?

And then I glanced behind me,

and I noticed that the other guy

now was watching both of us.

And this is all happening

in a matter of moments,

you know...

just seconds, and...

I remember thinking to myself,

"What the hell are you doing?

I have a boyfriend.

I love him.

He loves me.

And we don't do this. "

And then he touches me,

and I remember I took in

this quick, jagged breath.

I mean, it was so...

I don't know,

unexpected, you know?

I mean, I didn't

come here looking for this.

And it was exciting.

The anonymity of it was... hot.

And the rest happened so fast.

The expression on

his face changed,

and then he took off,

and then...

I saw a badge or...

flash of a badge

and then this smug,

satisfied face on the cop,

and before I knew it,

I was jacked up.

My face was smashed

against the tiles on the wall.

He was pressing my bloody knee

against the concrete so hard.

I still have a scar.

Why didn't you tell Dan?

The judge reduced the charge.

I did the community service.

I paid a fine.

It went away.

But why didn't you tell him?

I wanted to protect him.

I...

Didn't want to lose his trust.

I was afraid of losing him.

I was ashamed.

- Hello?

- Hi.

Uh, uh, can I speak

with George, please?

Sure. Who is it?

It's Michael Gavin calling.

Listen, look, I know we're not

working together anymore,

but, please, it...

with this rain...

I'm sorry.

George isn't here...

If you could see this place...

He can't come to the phone.

...blanketing the northeast

right now.

Strong winds with gusts

reaching 30 miles an hour.

This is a massive storm.

You can see right here...

...Parts of New Jersey,

Long Island,

and shoreline Connecticut

will see a lot of action

throughout the night...

Michael, it's me.

I've called three times.

I'm starting to worry.

Call me, okay?

And for those of you

in the northeast,

particularly those of you

in the southern Connecticut...

...the eye of the storm system

is right over you right now,

so you'll be getting

a bit of a break

from the heavy rain,

but winds will pick up again...

Sh*t.

Damn it.

What are you looking at?!

This is my house... my house!

Oh!

Mr. Gavin?

Are you okay?

Let go of me.

Why are you

looking at me like that?

You want to help me now?

Where the f*** have you been?

Hey. Wait, wait.

Oh, God.

Wait!

Jason!

Go through the back door,

up a staircase,

and down a long hallway

to get to room 114

in Rosa Parks

Junior High School in Brooklyn.

When you enter the room,

as we did at 10:
00 A.M.

On a recent school day,

you don't find kids.

You find senior citizens...

eating bagels, playing cards,

doing all the things that

golden agers normally do

in a program

for retired people...

Oh, my God.

What the f*** is this?!

I knew it. We had a deal.

Hey!

Jason!

Just talk to me!

Wait!

Jason!

Jason?!

Wait! Hey!

Jason!

Come on!

Where is he?

Come on!

Get off of him!

You're gonna kill him!

Shut up!

Oh, my God! Stop it!

No! Jason!

Jason!

Tell her! Tell her!

Tell her why I'm late

for school every day.

Oh, my God.

No. Oh.

What are you gonna do?

Huh?

Are you gonna kill me?

Huh?

Do it.

- Jason.

- Do it!

Jason, no!

Come on, Jason.

Don't listen to him.

Jason.

Stay there.

Stay there!

Jason! Jason!

You do that to him?

Stay here.

Oh!

Think you can take me, f*ggot?

No!

Oh, my God! Stop it!

Come on. Come on!

Leo, stop!

No!

Leo, stop it! Stop!

Stop! No!

Oh!

Oh, no, no, no.

- Leo! Leo!

- Oh, my God.

Call 911!

Come on, Leo.

Leo.

Give me the knife.

You hear me? Drop it.

You hear me?

Drop the knife, Jason.

Hold on.

They're on their way.

Jason, why didn't you tell me?

I just want him to go away,

and just...

you were doing so good.

It's not your fault, okay?

None of this is your fault.

It's not your fault.

L- 23, headquarters...

They're taking him

in for surgery.

There's not gonna be

any charges.

They'll let him go.

You're free to go.

Michael.

What the hell

happened to you?

Get in.

You gonna be okay?

She's over here.

I know, sweetheart.

The light bothers his eyes.

Oh, you complain every time,

but I've got to see

what I'm doing, don't I?

There...

Right as rain.

Mmm.

Daniel?

You do know a little

part of me died

when you told them

we weren't suing?

The look of relief

on their faces...

it just made me want to

do a table toss.

They were so afraid.

Are you sure about this?

I don't know if

I could go back there.

Sure, you could.

You...

Okay, here we go.

There she is.

Do it! Do it!

I'm sorry we're late.

It's my fault.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- Hey.

- Hey.

We should check in.

How was that car ride?

You have no idea.

- Well, I told you.

- Yeah.

Whole northeast is just

gonna float away.

They say it might

clear up later.

Yeah. That's what I heard.

Oh, boy...

Are we just...

Two friends that are gonna

chit-chat about the weather?

Hope not.

You okay?

Yeah.

We okay?

Who else is gonna put up

with me in this stupid town?

You coming?

Are you okay?

It's okay, it's okay.

It's gonna be okay.

Can't believe

you fell for that.

Come on...

Let's go get our chemo on.

Yes.

Come here. Come here.

Oh...

Trish says hi.

Aw. How is she?

She's good.

She had her

last treatment today.

She misses you.

Yeah. I owe her a visit.

Do you miss me?

Well...

I should go.

George is teaching me

how to sheetrock today.

That's impressive.

I'm very impressed with myself.

Hey, hey, hey.

Should I take her with me?

No.

She'd just get in the way.

Come here, Abigail.

But maybe I could

bring her over tonight...

For dinner.

Good...

We'll see you then.

I might get held up a bit.

I'm just, you know...

want to work on the house.

I can wait.

Good.

Bye, baby.

# I pledge my allegiance

and bite my tongue #

# As I say goodbye to the

only thing I care about... #

# I bury my knees

in a shallow grave #

# There's no more

reason to miss me #

# And I stand alone... #

# All tied up,

and I feel no shame #

# It's a very long evening when

all my angels drift away... #

# I cool my fever

and bite my tongue #

# As I remember the dreams

with the brightest dawn... #

# It's the color

It's the color of rain... #

# One, two, three #

# You went to places

that you wanted #

# And wanted to figure out #

# You went to places

that you wanted #

# And wanted to figure out #

# You took the traces

that you cornered #

# And cornered

and took around #

# You took the traces

that you cornered #

# And cornered

and took around #

# You ripped the pages

and you faulted and faulted #

# And took it down #

# You hide the faces

that you wandered #

# And wandered

and went around #

# You count the paces

that you wanted #

# And wanted to measure out #

# You tried to rate it #

# But you couldn't,

you couldn't #

# You played it down #
