November Criminals Page #4

Yeah. Um...

I was in the coffee shop when it happened.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I saw something, and I don't

know if I should tell Addison.

Tell him what?

Addison.

Mrs. Strauss. Do you have a minute?

Sure. Come in.

The guy who killed Kevin was white.

I saw his wrist when

he pushed the door open.

I know something was going

on with Kevin before he died.

And I heard that you and him were talking

because he was going through

some emotional difficulties.

So, what do you think it means?

I don't know, but I told the cops,

but I don't think they're

looking in the right place.

Why?

I mean, I heard Kevin was

hanging out with that kid Noel.

- Noel?

- Yeah.

And I know he's mixed up

with some heavy people.

They're dangerous.

What we talked about was confidential.

Just like the conversation we're

having right now is confidential.

Yeah, of course.

But I just want to know

if there's anything,

you know, if you had any idea

of what was going on with him.

Addison, if you want to talk about

how you feel about what's happened,

we can do that.

No, I'm all right. Thank you.

Look, just promise me you won't

tell any of this to Addison.

Just not right now, okay?

Yeah. Okay.

- Thanks, Bo.

- Yeah. I'll see you.

Yeah.

(SIGHS)

THEO:
I was at your school today.

And I was catching a lot of sh*t about you.

About this.

What's up with this, hmm?

What's going on?

Addison?

Remember that day

that Kevin was killed?

Yeah.

I drove back to the coffee

shop after it happened.

That's why I didn't call you.

Okay.

And I...

I saw his body.

Yeah, I saw Kevin. Like,

I saw them wheel him out.

Here's this kid.

He gets murdered,

and no one cares.

That's not true, Addy.

You know that's not true.

No, it is! That's what it seems like.

People care. They do. They just...

Will you just do me a favor?

Just stop this nonsense. This

is... This is crazy, Addison.

It's not nonsense. I'm just

trying to do something good.

Yeah, I... I understand, I think

I do, what you're trying to do.

But this is a murder investigation.

You don't know what could happen.

Nothing's gonna happen!

Well, I couldn't take it if

anything did happen to you.

Just...

If you can't do it for me,

do it for her.

All right?

Yeah.

ADDISON:
Video Diary. Day 23.

I don't know, maybe my dad's right.

Maybe I'm not thinking straight.

Maybe I shouldn't forget

about the rest of my life.

ADDISON:
Phoebe!

Hey.

What's up?

Hi.

(SIGHS)

What?

Look. So, I know the other night

was purely a practical thing for you.

And, you know, I have

nothing to compare it to,

except for maybe porn and stuff.

But I just have to say

that it really was sensational,

in the original meaning of the word.

And I have a strong and overwhelming desire

to do it again.

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

That's bad, huh?

Well, you know,

when I woke up this morning, I...

I looked over at the pillow

where your head had been.

Uh...

And I...

And I kind of wished it was still there.

(CHUCKLES)

I don't know, we're probably

- just romanticizing it.

- Romanticizing it. Yeah. That's classic.

(CHUCKLES)

But, uh...

Maybe if we did it again...

What? It might break the spell?

- That works.

- (LAUGHS)

- Should we...

- Yeah.

Okay.

PHOEBE:
Are you sure your dad's not home?

ADDISON:
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sure.

He's out shooting bridges for

a Belgian tourist brochure.

Long way from the

Washington Post, huh?

What?

(CHUCKLING) That... That

was pretty good. Right?

I mean, what do you think?

Better, same?

Worse?

Not worse, but...

Okay.

I mean, the spell is definitely broken.

Yeah.

Really?

(GRUNTS SOFTLY)

No, Addy.

I want you to hold me.

(LAUGHS)

(CHUCKLES)

(GRUNTS)

Is it just a one-time

thing? I mean, like...

I mean, if we do do this

again, which I hope we will,

I mean, like, do you want to usually

do the holding afterwards or beforehand?

Usually afterwards, I'm

guessing. That's good.

I'm just curious, you know.

- I want to be...

- Shut up.

Okay.

Okay. Um...

So, what? I guess we just keep...

We keep doing this until

the feeling wears off?

Yeah. Yeah, I'll call you.

Okay.

How are you getting home?

I'm gonna grab a cab. Don't

worry about it. It's fine, okay?

FIONA:
Hi.

PHOEBE:
Hey.

I brought dinner.

Um, I already ate actually, but thank you.

Okay.

How was your trip?

Good.

How was class?

Fine.

I learned five more ways to say "hello."

(CHUCKLES) It was eventful.

Should we talk about Addison Schacht?

Wow!

- You really have people everywhere, huh?

- Really?

Addison Schacht. Okay.

What?

What's the problem?

We moved up the hill and they moved down.

I went in to your school yesterday,

and I had a meeting with Karlstadt.

He told me about Addison's

so-called "investigation"

into the Broadus murder

and your involvement in it.

(SCOFFS) I'm not involved in it.

He's a friend of mine. That's it.

So he's just a friend, huh?

What does it matter?

What do you have against him?

It's not his fault that

his life has been so shitty.

His mom died.

I'm not talking about his mother dying.

I'm talking about you pulling

this sh*t with your friend.

And I just don't want you

to get involved in something

that will most definitely hurt you.

Only memories remain

Only memories remain

For a time There by the sea

There was only you and me

In a land that time forgot

You uttered

sweet forget-me-nots

And you know yeah, I never will

But sometimes

life has other ideas

And though we both know...

WOMAN ON PA:
Addison Schacht, please

report to the Principal's office.

Addison Schacht to the

Principal's office.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

That's it, Addison. Last chance.

What happened?

They're suspending me for a week.

What?

Because they looked in my locker for

posters and they found Kevin's file.

- Okay. Well, what are you going to do about it?

- (SIGHS)

Now I've got nothing to lose.

Addison, they didn't expel you, okay?

Just go home and... And chill out.

They might not put it on your record.

(SIGHS)

(DOORBELL RINGS)

- Hi.

- Hi.

Um, is Addison home?

No. Well, he should be, but no, he's not.

Phoebe?

- Yeah.

- Oh!

- Hi.

- Hi.

Well, why don't you come in? Yeah, yeah.

Come on in.

Yeah, okay. Um...

Don't mind me. It's chili night, and

things tend to get out of control.

Oh, it's fine. Don't worry about it.

So, how are you doing?

Um...

I'm okay. You know, considering everything.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Do you want to sit down? Yeah.

- Sure. I don't mind standing, though, it's...

- Here.

No...

Some of this stuff out of the way here.

Don't mind the mess.
