the cups around on my cart.

Oh, Ben.

Even if I believed you,

it was your responsibility

to keep your cart with you.

You're lucky.

Mr. Tillman will recover

and no one was seriously hurt.

I'm sorry, Ben, but I have

no choice but to let you go.

I know what you're doing!

I'm telling you now

you better cut this sh*t out!

You should've told me

you like it rough.

This isn't a game, Madison.

You almost killed somebody.

Here's what you're gonna do.

You're gonna stop calling me,

you're gonna stop paging me.

You're gonna stop visiting me!

Okay?

If you see me in the hallway,

pass by like I don't exist.

- You got it?

- Yes.

Good girl.

I didn't know you were coming by.

- What's wrong?

- We need to talk.

Can you take a break?

No, I can't right now.

Okay. I can wait.

I'm not done till one in the morning.

- You have to rest for the meet.

- Screw the meet.

What's wrong?

We can't talk about it here.

I can skip first period

and we'll go for a drive.

- The morning, okay.

- All right.

- I love you.

- I love you too.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Why?

Excuse me?

Are those the scouts?

Good luck.

- Ben?

- Yeah?

You tested positive for steroids.

- What?

- You heard me.

Steroids are banned

at this school, Ben.

Leave the pool area. Clean out

your locker. You're off the team.

You can't do this to me!

It's a mistake. I don't take steroids!

I don't take...

You did this to yourself.

Now go pack and go home.

Where is she? Where is she?

Dude, you're losing it.

You helped her.

Screw you, Ben.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Ben Cronin has been disqualified.

Ben Cronin will not compete

in this race.

Come on.

The winner is Josh Jefferson

in lane two!

Time is 1:
33:60

Are you taking drugs again?

Would you believe me

if I said no?

This is how it started the last time.

The lying, the screwing up

in school.

Once guilty, always guilty, right?

What I need is for everybody

to just leave me alone

while I figure out how to

get my life back.

Amy?

- Are you okay?

- No.

- And you?

- No.

- I can't believe that...

- She did it.

I really think you should go.

Ben.

Ben?

- What's the matter?

- My name is not Ben.

I know that. Josh, come here.

Josh? Josh.

It's all true, isn't it?

What?

Ben was telling the truth.

You want to hurt him because

he doesn't want you anymore.

Don't say that.

I should have known.

Ben would never do steroids.

He doesn't need them.

God.

You know what? Screw you!

How about that?

Josh, get back here!

Josh, come here!

Josh!

It's okay. I want you to. Touch me.

Hold me. Actually, you can't escape.

Tell me you love me.

I have to tell you something.

-Tell me you love me.

-I love you.

Help! Help!

...a loving son, a brother,

a wonderful student, athlete

and friend.

As we remember these words,

if we die with the Lord,

we shall live with the Lord.

If we endure with the Lord,

we shall reign with him.

Let your ears be attentive

to my supplication.

I trust in the Lord;

my soul trusts in his word.

My soul waits for the Lord.

I will consent to His love.

His love is kindness and redemption.

I didn't do it.

You didn't see anyone enter or leave?

- I told you I didn't.

- No, I know.

Take me through it again.

You remember how this works.

Not that long ago.

Your prints are on the bat.

Along with the rest of the team.

I'm a simple man.

I go by the evidence.

So arrest me.

We're not there yet.

But as they say,

don't leave town.

Don't leave town.

I'm never leaving this town.

You shouldn't be in here.

If she found you, she'd kill you.

No sh*t.

You better come with me.

Come on.

I found this. Here you go.

- Wait! Wait!

- Go!

Christopher? Christopher?

Do you have a guest?

No, that would mean you had friends.

Who's Jake Donnelly?

I want to show you something.

- What?

- Let's go.

Come on. It's not too far.

You coming in?

You go in. I'm staying here.

Go.

- Excuse me.

- Yes.

I'm looking for Jake Donnelly.

Don't worry. I've got someone

waiting in New York.

Can I help you?

I'm sorry. I'm an old friend

of Jake's.

Why you kids don't wear

seatbelts, I don't know.

His girlfriend did.

Walked away without a scratch.

I'll let you spend time

alone with him.

Thank you.

Madison left the room like this.

She was convinced he'd come back

to her one day. Poor thing.

Just throw on his clothes

and go find her.

You take your time, okay?

Mom, I got your page. What's up?

Paramedics just brought Amy in.

Ben, they're saying

you ran her off the road.

They have a witness.

Police are looking for you.

I'm calling you a lawyer.

He can meet me at the hospital.

There's Security everywhere.

They have your picture.

-25 cents.

- Sh*t!

- Mom, just listen...

-Please deposit 25 cents.

Madison is responsible, okay?

-Please deposit 25 cents.

- You got to protect Amy.

-Please hang up.

- Madison is coming!

Sh*t!

Jake Donnelly, will you

report to the nurses'station.

Paging Jake Donnelly.

Paging Jake Donnelly.

Jake Donnelly, please report to

the nurses'station.

Jake Donnelly, please report to

the nurses'station.

Jake Donnelly, come to

the nurses'station, please.

Paging Jake Donnelly.

Jake Donnelly, please report to

the nurses'station.

Jake Donnelly

to the nurses'station.

Jake!

Is that you?

You don't have the guts.

They think I killed Josh.

That I tried to kill Amy!

And I'm going to spend the rest

of my life in prison!

What's one more?

Don't be mad.

I did it for us.

Us?

You don't have it in you.

You couldn't hurt a fly.

How stupid do you think I am?

I don't know, baby.

How stupid are you?

These look like them?

It's them.

If everything checks out

with Ben's statement,

I'll ring your doorbell and

apologize in person. How's that?

Excuse me.

Sh*t!

Hey, watch the papers.

She's doing fine.

Did you find everything okay?

She can spend the night with us.

Have a safe flight.

See you in the morning.

My dad used to cheat on my mom.

It broke her heart.

I remember swearing to myself

that I'd never be like him,

and that...

when I found somebody I loved,

I would love her forever.

Never thought it was going to

happen so soon.

You're everything I ever wanted.

You're everything I ever could want.

I hate what I did and...

I got it!

Mom?

- Mom, I got it.

- Yeah.

False alarm!

Mom? Mom?

Amy!

Where are you?

See that?

You see that right there?

That's where we made love.

Madison!

Ben?

She doesn't love you like I do, Ben.

No one will ever love you

like I do.

You can stop all this

if you just admit it!

That you love me!

I can't do that.

Tell her, Ben!

Tell her you love me.

I know it!

Good going.
