Michael... What's wrong?

What are you doing?

-I can't find him.

-Who?

Oh, boy, he's gone.

All right, Michael.

Just slow down.

-Who are you looking for?

-He's gone! Oh!

-Michael, who are you looking for?

-He's gone.

Just stop it for a second

and tell me who...

F***! I got into a fight with him

a little bit earlier tonight.

-I lost my temper a little bit.

-All right, calm down for a second.

Take a breath, okay?

Michael, look at me.

-l...

-Who?

-I gotta find him.

-Who the f*** are you...?

My, my brother!

My brother, my --

I have an 8-year-old brother.

I live with him. He stays with me.

-I've got to get him.

-No, I'm coming with you.

No, no, no, no. No, don't.

I need. I want someone

to stay here in case he...

I don't want

to be left all alone--

I need someone to stay

here in case he comes back!

You're starting

to f***ing freak me out here!

I need someone to stay here.

I'm going to go look for him.

Please, I'll explain

everything to you later.

Please wait here.

Please.

Okay. All right.

Hello.

Dylan?!

Dylan!

What's going on, Michael?

Where are you now?

Dylan!

Dylan!

Dylan!

The son of a b*tch!

-Get your f***ing hands off me!

-Okay, okay, okay, come on!

Michael!

Carly!

Dylan?

Dylan!

Carly, Carly,

can I talk to you for a minute?

I really need to talk to you

for a minute.

I don't think so, Mikey.

I know you talked to Dr. Maxim.

I don't know what he told you.

I want to explain everything to you.

I needed to protect my brother.

-Mikey.

-Hold on.

No, no, no! No, no!

You hold on!

No, you don't understand

the situation here, all right?

Mikey, come on back in the office.

Hey, my brother is out there

somewhere, and I have to find him!

Do you understand that?

No, he's not.

He's not.

Michael.

What...?

Where is he?

Did you find him?

No. Nobody found him.

What's going on?

What did Dr. Maxim say to you?

He's not supposed

to tell you anything.

What did he tell you?

That's a lie.

That's a f***ing lie.

Why are you lying to me?

You gotta calm down.

-No, get off!

-Oh, sh*t!

Carly, please,

come with me please.

-Please help me find my brother!

-Please let go of me!

-Please, come on!

-Please let go!

Mikey, let go!

Mikey, back off!

Dylan.

Stop it!

-Mike.

-No!

Mikey!

-No!

-No!

No!

Michael, stop it!

F***!

No!

Mo.

Mo!

Mo!

Carly?

Carly.

...20-year-old Michael Adler.

Adler, who had been

working and living in the area,

was using a false identity.

He is also the prime suspect

in the grisly murders

of three family members

in Wooster, Massachusetts.

Michael, an employee at the...

Dear Dr. Maxim,

what were you doing?

If you thought you were helping,

I'm sorry, but you weren't.

You only made things worse.

Just so you know,

I don't hate you,

but I'm not going

to write to you anymore.

So before I end this,

do one more thing for me,

would you?

Please, can you

get back in touch with Carly?

Tell her she's a beautiful

and wonderful person.

Tell her I wish -- really, really wish

that things could have

turned out differently for us.

And Mo, too.

Tell him I'm sorry,

and I hope

he's not too disappointed.

I didn't mean

to leave them in a bind.

And one more favor, please.

Please tell them,

tell Mom, tell Dad,

tell everyone the truth this time.

Dylan is fine.

Please don't bother to look for us.

Just leave us alone.

I'm taking care of him, and I'm going

to continue to take care of him,

and we're both going to be fine,

totally and completely fine,

all on our own.

Sincerely, Michael.
