messages in a bottle,

like, all the time.

What were the messages?

I don't know.

I don't remember.

I wish I did.

Did you put your

contact information on them?

Shut up.

You're making fun

of my interesting fact.

Do you still do it...

I mean, send a message?

No, after my mom died

I just got so mad at her

that I never went back

to the beach.

It's like it cheated me

or something, you know?

Maybe if you

forgave her...

I don't want to.

You should. It's better.

How did it happen?

Can I ask that?

She slit her throat.

Oh my God. Wow.

Yeah, I know.

In the kitchen.

I found her.

I'm sorry.

What about your dad?

He put his head in the oven.

I didn't think

people really did that.

Me neither.

Did she leave a note?

No.

Doesn't make any sense,

you know.

Doctors are supposed

to help people.

My dad was a doctor

at Hunter General.

Same with my mom.

Maybe they knew each other.

- There must be something off, you know?

- What?

They did it at the same time,

both doctors.

I don't know.

It's the hospital.

That place must have

done something to them.

- Maybe if we went...

- No no.

Yeah, let's go to the hospital.

Maybe we can find something out.

I can't go there.

I can't go to the places

where she's been.

I can't touch the things

that she's touched.

I can't.

If I tell you something,

do you promise

not to tell anyone?

Who would I tell?

Seriously.

Of course.

I mean, it's not a big deal.

It's just...

What?

I mean, seriously,

it's probably nothing.

Well, you should tell me.

You know, I'm not gonna tell you

because if I told you

then I'm making it a big deal.

And if I don't tell you

it's like it never happened.

So just forget it.

You should tell me.

No.

Fine. Don't.

You can't do that, you know.

What?

Say something provocative

and then not tell me.

Provocative?

You know what I mean.

What if I tell you something?

Then will you tell me?

I guess so.

What?

I got...

I got this tape.

Of your dad?

- Yeah.

- Me too, of my mom.

- What's going on?

- I don't know,

but why would somebody

videotape our parents?

Why would somebody do that?

I don't know.

Angela, I think...

I think maybe my dad didn't...

like, maybe somebody else did.

What?

Come on, like

somebody killed him?

It just doesn't make sense to me

any other way.

I guess I'm just confused,

you know?

I don't know. Maybe...

maybe somebody's

trying to help us.

Listen, we're gonna be

fine, okay?

I'm glad you're here.

I can't believe

I just said that.

I'm not really used to

this sort of thing.

You're doing fine.

Thanks.

I should go.

Okay, I'm gonna go.

I get off work at 7:00.

I'll come over.

Yeah, okay.

Lock the door, okay?

- Shut up.

- I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay, bye.

You know.

Are you happy?

Sure.

"I'm out bowling

with the buddies, baby."

When did you plan

on telling me all this?

Shut up, Lisa.

I don't have to tell you

every f***ing thing that I do.

You know, you bore me!

You know what?

Why don't you get off

your f***ing high horse?

It's just a f***ing hobby.

Sure, like it's so hard to believe

that I might want to know what my

husband does in his spare time.

Are you happy?

You're doing this to my life.

Shut up, Lisa. You shut up.

You f***ing shut your hole.

Shut up.

I just don't feel

safe here by myself.

Babe, I know.

I know you don't.

You know what?

Everything is

gonna be fine, okay?

I'll stay here

until Brian gets home.

And we'll just watch a movie

and paint our nails.

And I'll make dinner, okay?

And you'll never ever ever

have to be alone again, okay?

My wife and I want to get back there

as soon as we can.

It's the most beautiful

city you've ever seen.

Is it?

It's just gorgeous.

Are you back in school now, Brian?

Excuse me?

- Are you in school?

- No.

I don't know. I guess I just really

haven't been thinking about it

too much recently, you know?

Do you know

what you want to do?

I want to drive a taxi.

Yeah?

A taxi?

I know a guy who drives a taxi.

I can give you his number.

Yeah, that would be really great.

Definitely give me his number.

You got it.

You left your phone

here yesterday.

Do you have it now?

Yeah, it's on the table.

Where was it?

In the kitchen.

Oh, yeah.

I remember leaving it

on the counter.

That is, like, the third time

I've had to replace this thing.

Thanks for finding it.

No problem.

All right, I'm taking off.

Oh. You got a hot date?

Something like that.

I have to catch the bus.

I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

Are you sure?

Brian is gonna be here

in, like, a minute. I'll be fine.

Really?

Yes, really.

Brit, you've been really great.

Oh...

Oh, and I'm really sorry

about all this.

Please don't stay

you're sorry.

You're my friend.

You don't need to say sorry.

Okay.

Promise me you won't say

sorry to me again.

Brit, he's gonna be here

any minute.

I don't want you

to meet him yet.

Are you trying

to replace me?

Of course not.

- Okay, bye.

- Bye.

Bye bye bye bye.

Hi.

I didn't see this

the first time.

It was on mine too.

The same exact thing?

Yeah.

So that's your dad?

Are you mad at me

for some reason?

- Babe.

- No.

What is going on?

I hate this.

I'm terrified.

My life is terrifying.

This is not a good time

for me to be alone.

You're not.

I know.

What's wrong?

Lan committed suicide

last night.

I don't think he did it.

I don't think he did it.

What did they say?

He suffocated himself

in the car.

It wasn't even his house.

God, this f***ing sucks.

I think I know

who took the picture.

He usually comes back

from work right before I go to school.

He's a security guard.

What about his wife?

Just about to leave.

Okay, so how long

do we have?

At least 15 minutes.

I don't know if I can do this.

We have to do this, okay?

There's no better time.

I think they have a key

around here somewhere.

Hey, put that down.

What are we doing here?

What else can we do?

Oh, you're so annoying.

You're annoying.

What are you...?

- Whatever.

- Whatever.

- What are you doing?

- I was just trying to distract him.

I just came by to tell you

that I don't think

I can come back to your

class right now.

Okay.

- What happened.

- I told him.

I shouldn't have told him.

He didn't believe me.

Angela, of course he didn't.

No one will.

I thought he would.

Sweetie, let's go

to your house, okay?

I really don't want

to go back there right now.

Could we please

just go to yours?

Of course.

It's okay.

We're gonna get

through this, okay?

Please no.

I can't.

We went into his house.

We can't go to the police.

Lan wouldn't kill himself.

- Maybe he did.

- No.

Brian.

- I took one of the tapes.

- Brian.

It has to be him, Angela.

I had to be sure.

- Why would he...?

- Hey, guys.

Hey, Graham.

Hey, Angey.

Oh, sorry. Hey, Graham.

Wait a second. How...

did I introduce you guys?

What?

Yeah, the other day she was over.

No, I wasn't.

Maybe it was someone else.

I guess I just figured we had met
