The Submarine Kid Page #5

My God, Spencer, you were so good

and now lying and not

telling the truth all at once.

It's just a thing that happened.

So that's it?

You come back and it's

like five years together

that's just gone?

You had your freedom, and now you come back

and you're some kinda guy that

takes random girls to parties?

You don't think that I

know that I f***ed up.

Whatever I'm feeling it's not about you.

The whole thing has nothing to do with you.

And you see this one. Did

he take out that tree too?

That's what it did to the car.

- Where were you?

- Spencer?

- Sit down!

- Hello, Spencer, how are ya?

I'll call Henry.

I understand you had a bit

of an accident last night.

Yes, sir.

The main thing is we

just wanna get you back

where you need to be.

What if you get called back?

Your country and-and our family

need you to be ready for that.

Listen, now-now legally

you're just lookin' at

damage to the guard rail

a few private trees, things

like that, simple stuff.

No real harm done there.

But we know about the boy at the party.

Cell phone videos, all that.

Family lawyer has got in touch with us.

Now, luckily there's no brain damage.

Gonna be some reconstructive

surgery necessary.

I think it's much better...

...if we just sweep it

away, settle out of court.

Your parents and I'll

pay off all the bills.

And you are gonna work off

every last cent, you understand me?

Yes, you'll pay off the bills.

We can deal with that later.

I think what's much more important here

is that everyone's concerned about you.

The way I see it, Spencer,

the only way out is through.

Your parents are here, your

friends, they can all help.

But you're gonna have

to just look this thing

right in the face and deal with it.

Be a man. Say your I'm sorrys.

And move on.

This isn't a damn game.

Didn't they teach you discipline?

Josh, please.

Spence, let's go.

Guys, no, not now. Not now.

You know, what, these

guys need to understand

the gravity of the situation.

They're half the problem.

- Let's go, guys, come on.

- Hey!

- Come on, this way.

- Come on.

We're getting out of here.

This is like the best day ever.

What is this?

I've got a surprise for you.

Where?

This is heaven?

Or a dream?

Is this the book?

Alice, uh, are these people from the book?

Come on, you know the answer.

Just stop asking questions.

It's just a place like any other.

But can it last forever?

Can anything?

If you don't let it

end, it doesn't have to.

It'll never have to.

Right?

Only question you should be asking...

...is where should I be right now.

I know the answer.

Here.

With you.

I'm-I'm-I'm

starting to feel

like that might not be a victory, Spencer.

Why don't you wanna be back

with all those people

who are waiting for you?

- Oh, I can't.

- Why?

Because...

...I've...

...I've done things.

What-what-what

things?

Terrible things.

- Spencer...

- I can't breathe up there.

They never found my body, did they?

Spencer, oh my God.

Breathe. Breathe!

Wake up, breathe.

Spencer.

Mom?

- Spencer, wake up.

- No, no, let be back.

- No, Spencer. Spencer!

- Let be back.

Spencer, if you father sees you

doing this, he'll go crazy.

Look at me! Look at me.

Oh, baby.

You need, you need to stay here.

- Here, Spencer.

- No, no.

- I can't stay here.

- Stop!

- Spencer, stop it!

- I can't stay here.

Please let me help you.

Spencer? Spencer?

Let's go. Come on, man.

Stop, stop.

Just stop, stop. Let's slow down.

- Just slow everything down.

- What for?

What for? Come on, you're

so intense right now.

Let's just... take a deep breath

and talk about where we go from here.

That's the theme of the day.

Yeah, well, do you

realize what you just did?

I broke five minutes, man.

The Submarine Kid broke twenty.

I think she can hold her breath forever.

Spencer, I have no idea

what you're talking about.

Just more practice then

I can stay with her!

Stop thinking about this sh*t! Quit it!

Let's just take your brother,

we can go to Nathan's.

On the way at least we

can get a case of beer

and a sack of weed and

f***ing relax and talk about.

No, man! Let me do this!

Do what? Wait.

What are you doing?

Not good enough.

"Although her car was recovered

"the body of the

23-year-old suspected driver

"remains missing as

of this morning...

"...in Thunder Lake.

The girl, Alice Shelley..."

...is previously engaged

to the local legend

known as The Submarine Kid

disappeared in the same lake

exactly two years ago.

Authorities have now confirmed

the accident as suicide

though many of her friends

described the girl

overcome with grief

since the mysterious

disappearance of her fiance.

No, no, no, no.

No, this can't be f***ing happening.

This can't be f***ing happening.

No, no, no.

F***!

F***! What the f***!

What the f***!

Goddammit!

Goddammit! Let me back!

F***, Spencer!

I didn't know you were here.

I'm sorry, Marc.

I'm so f***ing sorry.

This isn't about you.

I shouldn't have brought this here.

Don't apologize for this.

Can you talk to me?

What do you want me to say?

Just tell me the truth.

The only easy day was yesterday.

No, man, no bullshit.

I want the truth.

What is this?

It's a book about me.

Spencer...

...I know you won't believe

me, but whatever this is

it's not your story.

You think you're escaping

the bullshit with this

but you're just going farther into it.

You're lost.

I was just like you. I

came back, I was a shell.

I had to retrace the steps.

It's hard work.

I know how tempting it looks...

...but just getting

out is not real freedom.

Obsessing over this kind of sh*t

is just an escape.

Deal...

...with what's real.

Tell me what's going on.

Spencer?

Shut the door.

- Did they hear me?

- No.

This came for you.

It's from the marines.

You can open it.

Don't look up to me.

Are you okay?

Toad's coming to get us.

Get ready.

Where are we going?

This is my favorite place in the world.

This is my favorite place in the world.

Do you hear that?

You're my favorite place

in the whole f***ing world!

You're almost perfect, you f***ing lake!

Balls so hard

motherfuckers wanna find me

But first they gotta find me

Look who worked off his hangover.

Yeah, took all f***ing day.

Well, I'm here.

- Take the beer.

- Give me the beer.

Alright, guys, listen up.

I don't wanna get all

cheesy f***ing sentimental

with you guys, but you are my brothers.

And I've been thinking ever

since this sister got back.

And no matter what the f*** happens...

...you know, no matter

how crazy this world gets

you guys are the one thing that I've got

that's never going away.

And God help me for the grief

I'm gonna suffer for this

but I f***in' love each and

every one of you, alright?

Yes. Clink, b*tches.

Hey, come on.

- Good girl.

- Hey.

Hey, let's build a house.

I know how to do it.

We can't stay here.

I know everything.

I saw what happened to you.

I don't care.

You want me to be like him?
