The Good Neighbor Page #6

I swear.

I wanted to see if you'd say

something about the project.

I knew you'd be in there...

The project? Forget the

f***ing project, okay?

Do you understand what this

means?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry about the

camera, but, Sean...

You don't get it,

we're so close here.

You're obsessed.

Okay, I told you, we're not

going in the basement.

We were here to haunt the dude.

Does he not seem haunted to you?

Not enough, no.

Well, it's enough for me.

Okay, you got your revenge,

but I didn't sign up for this.

Sean, stop!

Are you f***ing kidding me?

You were nobody until I picked

you up, don't forget that.

I had this idea and you had the

brains and money...

To make it happen.

And look at what we've

accomplished.

So it's exactly what you

signed up for...

So don't act like it's not.

I mean, would you be anywhere

if it hadn't been for me?

Would you have gone

to any parties?

Would you have been with Carly

tonight if it wasn't for me?

Would you have left your boring,

nerdy, rich circle...

And had any fun before

graduation...

If it hadn't been for me?

F*** you, Ethan.

F*** me.

They're your cameras, Sean.

Your fingerprints, traceable to

your credit card.

Is that a threat?

It's the truth.

All I've ever wanted from this

project is the truth.

So the world could see exactly

what it is...

The world is only gonna see what

you want them to see, Ethan.

Okay?

Don't you get it? I mean, it's

not even about Grainey...

Any more, it's about you, and...

Oh...

I don't even know why I agreed

to do this. I just feel...

Dude, you know what? Feel

however you want, Sean.

That's fine.

I'm sorry about the camera,

that was a shitty thing to do.

But you listen to me very

carefully.

Whatever happens here... you

and me are in this together.

Got it?

Get the f*** out.

Come in.

Hey.

Hey.

Uh, hey, so, I'm sorry

about the other night.

If it makes you feel any better,

Carly said she really liked you.

So... what's up?

I want my equipment back.

What?

The computers, the monitors,

the cameras.

I'll let you edit what you have

so far, but I'm done.

Are you're serious?

I just said sorry to you.

I mean, what more do you want?

That's not what this is about.

Okay, you know what,

you're not thinking straight.

Why don't we just take a break,

we'll take a breather...

Let's have some beers,

let's hang out, let's...

Whoa, whoa, f***!

Whoa, holy sh*t.

No way that actually happened.

That goddamn cat!

I honestly can't believe

that happened.

F***!

All right...

It's over.

What are you talking about?

What do you mean? The camera is

on the ground.

So the whole thing is over.

The camera's on the ground

in the den.

Grainey is asleep,

in his bedroom.

It's not that complicated.

Seriously, Ethan...

Sean, your cameras,

your fingerprints, remember?

Think about MIT.

We know every inch of that

house.

I will be in and out

in 30 seconds.

It's not like we've never

broken in before.

Not while he was home, we

haven't. Are you stupid, Ethan?

He's asleep.

And what happens when

he wakes up?

Do you remember what he

did to the door?

That was a door.

Will you just hand me my phone?

Goddamnit, Ethan!

Are you actually crazy?

Hand me my phone!

No.

If you were ever my friend,

you would back me up right now.

Now I will be gone

for two minutes.

Text me if Grainey wakes up.

Oh, god.

Okay, go.

Go, go, go, go, go.

No.

No, no, no, no... sh*t.

No, don't do it.

Don't go down there.

What is all this?

Sh*t.

Oh, sh*t.

No, no, no, no, no.

Oh, sh*t.

Sh*t, go.

Come on, Ethan, get out

of there, come on.

Hide, Ethan, hide!

Oh, no.

Holy sh*t.

Where are you going?

Okay. Sh*t.

Don't move yet, Ethan,

I can't see.

What the hell?

Oh, god.

F***.

Oh, my god!

Oh, my god! We just...

He just...

Ethan?

Ethan!

He... he's dead?

Yeah, he is dead. He just shot

himself in the f***ing head.

What have we done?

Why? I just... I don't get it.

Why?

It's because of the bell, Ethan.

It's because of the goddamn

bell.

No, we wanted to move something.

That was part of the plan.

The plan?

We killed him!

We didn't kill him.

We... we didn't do anything.

Yeah, we did do something, okay?

Which means it's our fault...

Which means we're gonna

go to f***ing jail...

For a long-ass time!

Just shut up! Shut up

for a second, okay!

Just let me think

for a goddamn second, okay?

Oh, sh*t, Ethan, your foot.

F***.

Our fingerprints are everywhere,

okay?

They're on all the cameras. Your

fingerprints are on the bell.

All over the house!

The old man killed himself,

okay? We were never here.

Okay, so, so, you get the

cameras...

And I'll clean this up.

We're gonna be fine, yeah.

Okay... hey!

Sean, look at me! Hey! Hey!

Look at me!

We're gonna be fine, okay?

Let's go. Go. Come on.

Okay, I got the...

Oh, god.

Oh, god.

Sean, help me.

Sean!

Freeze!

You, on the ground now.

You, face on the floor,

hands on your head.

Sit up for me, please.

Come here.

I'm sorry, honey. I'm sorry.

Come on. Come here.

Come on.

What do I...

Okay, now, let's dance.

Thank you.

Oh, it feels so good to be home.

You wanna go see? Do you

want to go see Caroline?

Let's go see Caroline.

Come here.

Who's this?

Oh, my goodness. Oh.

He's a sweet baby.

Oh, sweet baby.

Hey.

Hey.

I just came from your garden, was out

there, everything's holding up great.

How about you,

how you holding up?

I'm doing great.

What do you think?

I, um, I bought you something.

What's in there?

The idea is you open it.

Mm-hm.

Let's see, what is it?

What is it? What is it?

Ah... the one

I've always wanted.

Now don't be a smart ass.

I mean, this is a real antique.

Look, we don't need you

yelling and screaming...

Wasting energy for no reason.

Sometimes Amy and I aren't

here to hear you.

You know, I just want you to

know that...

Whenever you need anything,

I mean anything at all...

All you have to do is ring this

and I'll hear it, honey.

And I'll come to you,

no matter what, okay?

Good.

It works.

What do you mean when you say

that this was almost inevitable?

Harold lost himself when

Caroline died.

He lost everything

that made him happy.

And twelve years is

a long time to be alone.

Are you implying that Harold had

suicidal tendencies?

What I'm saying is that

Harold was hurting.

And he was hurting himself.

But I made a promise to

Caroline...

That I would make sure he was

gonna be all right.

But he wasn't all right, was he?

No. He wasn't.

And that's why you went to his

home one final time...

On September 24th?

Correct.

What did you bring him that day?

I found a place for him to go.

Somewhere where he could get

proper professional care.

Where he wouldn't be alone.

It took me months to try to get

him to sign the papers...

It got to a point where he...

He didn't want to talk

to me anymore.

Did he ever mention to you...

Why he didn't want to receive

proper care?

He never wanted to leave
