alerted by a 911 call from Susie Diehl,

who was fighting for her life.

The officers are gone now,

but the questions remain:

How could something

like this happen?

And why?

This is Chris Safford, WPZM 13.

(Cellphone ringing)

(keyboard clicks)

Yeah. Yeah, I got it.

In an hour.

Yeah, whatever, dude, okay?

You can wait an hour. Relax.

When we dance we want the music loud.

We give you heaven and hell.

You know it's the only way for you.

Let your senses guide you through.

So don't stop...

Boy:

Hey, Brianna!

Girls:
Whoo!

(girls laugh)

(chuckles)

What I've always wanted.

Here comes

the best present of them all.

Hmm. Oh.

I wonder what this could be.

Riley and DeeDee: Hmm.

Drumroll please.

(mimics drumroll)

(boys chuckle)

- Oh.

- A favorite toy.

Oh Nate, that is a great gift.

Now Brianna can practice having

all four kinds of orgasms for you.

Four kinds?

I thought there was only one kind.

- The good kind.

(kids laugh)

Oh no, there are

four different kinds of orgasms.

- Brianna:
Yes.

- Didn't you know that?

Yeah, of course.

I knew that.

Well, you know,

first there's the positive orgasm...

(passionately)

oh Yes. Oh yes!

- Oh yes.

(Nate chuckles)

...and then there's the negative...

(passionately)

Oh no. Oh no.

- ...the religious...

(loudly) Oh God!

- Oh God! Oh!

(girls laugh)

...and then the fake orgasm.

- Oh Nate! Oh Nate!

(kids laughing)

Crowd:

Oh Nate!

- Girl:
Oh damn.

- Girls:
Nate!

Brianna:
Oh hon.

(Tone plays)

(static, distortion)

- You gotta stay back, Vern.

(Static)

(clicks, whirrs)

Sh*t.

(Rock music playing)

Oh, what are you kids doing?

Just talking.

Talking with your tongues.

Yeah, you kinda have to

use your tongue to talk, Nate.

Well, at least somebody's

getting some action.

Oh why?

Where's Brianna?

Pissed at me somewhere.

What did you do now?

I gave her a vibrator

for her birthday.

But she doesn't know

that I did actually

get her these bad boys.

- Oh.

- You guys help me find my girlfriend?

Yes. Come on, let's go.

(squeals)

Let's go find her.

(Roaring)

(Static)

(distortion)

(man speaking, distorted)

(engine stops)

Took you long enough.

- What's on it?

- Locker room.

(Chuckles)

- How old?

- The same.

- Baker girl?

- A little.

- See if you can find more.

- I'm working on it.

- Work a little harder.

(engine starts)

(chattering)

- It's a cold world we're living in.

Feel myself giving in,

drink drink, shot shot...

- Yo, J.

- Yeah?

Favorite concert you have

ever been to. Go!

Ooh, tough.

Thirty Seconds to Mars.

- Pfft.

- Top horror film of all time. Go.

"The Ring." When she came

out of the TV, I lost it.

- "Scream."

- "Freaky Friday."

- Wh... really?

- "Freaky Friday"?

- That's not a horror film.

- Yes, it is.

- No.

- She turns into her mother.

That's horrible and terrifying,

- all at the same time.

- Really?

- No.

- It was scary.

Your mom's cool.

Your mom's... why would you...

(stammers)

Your mom's cool as sh*t.

What would be so terrifying about that?

She's throwing this party for us.

She doesn't know

we're throwing the party, Nate.

Hey, what's up, dude?

Hey, I'm glad you came by.

- Hey.

- Riley:
Hey. (chuckles)

Who are all these people?

This is for you.

Happy birthday.

- Okay, thanks.

- Hey, open it.

Here, hold this.

- Oh wow. Nice.

- Brianna:
Blu-ray.

That's kind of extravagant

for someone I barely even know.

Oh, it's not a big deal.

I get a big discount because of work.

Brianna:

Oh great. Fascinating.

Hey, man. Do you want...

you want a beer? There's a keg

- on the other side of the pool.

- No.

- Riley:
Hey.

- What?

- How do you know that guy again?

- Quinn?

- Yeah.

- He worked with me at the video store

and now he works down

at the news station.

He's cool.

(Inhales deeply)

(breathing heavily)

(belt clinks) (unzips pants)

(kids cheer)

Hey, Quinn, are you leaving?

Yeah, feeling out of place.

- F***ing high school all over again.

- Hey, you coming?

- Yeah, I'll be there in a second.

- Okay.

I forgot. I got some

of that Harlan Diehl footage

on a flash drive for you.

Oh nice.

Thanks, man.

Hey, Quinn, do you, um...

do you think you could

put a word in for me

- down at the station?

(chuckles)

- The station?

- Yeah.

- You don't want to work there, man.

- Oh yeah yeah, I do.

Move up. I'm tired of watching movies.

I wanna make 'em.

Do you know what I actually do there?

- Not really, no.

- I don't make anything.

I f***ing archive footage

from, like, 20 years ago.

I sit there all day

and look at nothing.

(People chattering)

(birds chirping)

Woman:

So tell me about your project.

Well, we're supposed

to pick some "forgotten things"

from the fabric of our community.

I'm doing a movie.

A movie, huh?

About what?

I'm glad you asked,

'cause I wanted to see

if you would do an interview.

It's on Harlan Diehl.

You know, I don't want

to do anything lame

like bridges or whatever.

It's an interesting story

and you told me yourself

that it changed the community.

And that's the theme of the project so...

plus it's freaking cool.

It's not cool, Julian.

It was a tragedy.

And I didn't say

that it changed the community.

I said that it changed

people's lives.

Sorry, I just thought it might be

something that you could help me with,

like a lot of parents do. And you

remember when it happened, right?

- Of course I remember.

(car honks)

- That's Nate. I gotta go.

- We'll talk about this later?

Yeah, whatever. Okay.

Your phone.

(Muffled rock music playing)

(engine starts)

(floor creaks)

(floor creaks)

Riley:
Dad?

Dad?

(Screaming)

Help!

(Knife thuds)

(gurgles)

So what do you think?

Well, do you have

a better take of that?

No. Why?

What's wrong with it?

(Sighs)

Well, it's all kind of shaky and sh*t.

Shaky? It's a handheld.

It's supposed to be shaky.

It gives it a sense of energy.

Is that what you filmmakers call it?

Well, just so you know,

the rest of us call that "headache."

Oh. (mock laughs)

Anyway, I think I'm gonna cut

the scene of her getting dressed.

I doubt it'll go over very well.

That's what you're worried about

not going over very well?

- Yeah yeah, I mean think about it.

- Are you kidding?

Dude, there's blood everywhere.

- So?

- It's murderpalooza up in this b*tch.

- It's a movie.

- Ms. Milton's gonna flunk you

- the second she sees it.

- Let me worry about that.

- All right?

(sighs)

- You're the boss.

- Yes, I am.

Quinn.

Are you down here?

I need those items you checked out.

Quinn.

Jesus.

This is such bullshit.

Look at this place.

What are you doing down here, huh?

I mean you've ruined my entire system.

This place is a mess.

It's... it's a mess down here.

I'm not cleaning it up, Quinn.

(sighs)

Just that.

I'm not cleaning anything else up.

Jesus. What the f***

are you doing down here?

I mean look at this place.

You've got to pick this sh*t up.

You've gotta get organized. And I need

that equipment back that you borrowed.
