Yeah, I do.

But you don't have anything to...

Tom, you're talking like a goddamn lunatic!

That's what people are gonna say.

I-it's just a body. It doesn't prove anything.

She's...

She's got somebody's hair in her hand.

They're gonna be able to tell whose it is.

Hey, Frank.

We... we gotta call the cops.

What were we supposed to do?

It was an accident.

The kids come to us, she's already dead.

The damage is done. There's nothing

anybody can do to bring her back.

But these kids got...

everything ahead of them.

So what were we supposed to do, Tom?

Send our sons to jail for the rest of their lives

because of her?

Who are you planning to shoot with that?

- Get the hell outta here, Tom.

- Hey, Frank... come on upstairs.

We... we could talk about this.

I've been living with this for... six months.

Six f***ing months!

Do you think anything you have to say is

gonna make one bit of difference to me?!

- Get the hell outta here!

- I-I'm not leaving until...

Get out!

Get out!

- Hi.

- Hi. Hi.

- Well, it's really pouring, huh?

- Yeah, looks like it.

You got a minute?

No, I'm... I'm... kinda busy right now.

It's important.

I-I don't really

have time to talk right now, Harry.

Ah, Jesus! This rain, huh?!

Harry, like I said, you know,

I'm really kind of busy right now.

Kurt, I know you weren't raised in a barn.

Close that door.

Maybe I could call you later or something?

Tom, we got ourselves

a serious problem here.

Whaddaya mean?

What the hell you think

you're doing to my house?

I heard all this pounding going on.

I thought I'd check it out.

I didn't think you'd be wrecking the place!

What's the matter with you?

Oh, don't worry. I'm gonna...

I'm gonna take care of that.

I-I was trying to fix your water main,

you know - it was leaking,...

...and I couldn't get to it

from underneath the house.

I-I mean... I-I couldn't

get under the house to get to it.

Is that right?

Damn. A lotta water damage?

Some.

Can I look around?

Yeah. Yeah, sure. Sure. Help yourself.

Maybe you'd better show me where it's at.

Well, you guys'll be able to see.

I-I gotta take off right now.

I'm almost afraid to look.

- Drink it.

- Right.

Hurry up.

The water main doesn't run under the house.

Well, I know that now.

Sh*t, Tom.

Argh!

Get him on the rug.

- Don't look at him. Roll him over.

- Yeah.

Let's go! All right,...

...get outta the way.

Tom?

Are you here?

Sh*t!

Argh!

Out of the way, Kurt!

Arghh!

They were gonna kill you, Tommy.

You and Maggie both.

- Are you OK?

- Yeah.

Cold-blooded murder.

I can't let something like that happen.

Not here.

This was a decent neighbourhood.

If I ever feel the light again

Shining down on me

I don't have to tell you

How welcome it would be

I felt the light before

But I let it slip away

And I just keep on believing

that it'll come back some day

It's not the spotlight

It's not the candlelight

It's not the streetlights

Just some old street of dreams

It ain't the moonlight

Not even the sunlight

But I've seen it shining in your eyes

and you know what I mean

Jake...

Jake...

Jake...

La-da-da, da-da-da

Hello, hello

Hello, hello, hello

Are you out there?

Oh

Oh-oh

La-da-da, da-da-da

La-da-da, da-da-da

Oh

MOD, are you out there?

I can't see your face but you left a trace

On a data back-road that I almost erased

Not even God takes this long to get back

So get back

Cos I hit a fork in the road,

I lost my way home

Cut off from the main line

like a disconnected modem

Hello?

Tap in the code, I'll reach you below

No one should brave

that underworld alone

Hello, hello, hello

How do I reach you?

Oh

Oh-oh

La-da-da, da-da-da

La-da-da, da-da-da

Oh

Oh

La-da-da, da-da-da

La-da-da, da-da-da

Oh

Oh

Word has it on the wire

That you don't know who you are

Well, if you could jack into my brain,

you'd know exactly what you mean here

Mothers are trails on stars in the night

Fathers are black holes

that suck up the light

That's the memory I filed on the fringe

Along with the memory

of the pain you lived in

Hello

I don't have the password,

but the path is chain-linked

So if you got the time, set the tone to sync

Tap in the code

Hello, hello

Are you out there?

Oh

Oh-oh

La-da-da, da-da-da

La-da-da, da-da-da

Oh
