I'm serious.

I have to go.

- Okay, I'll drive you home.

I'm f***ed up.

- Yeah?

How long were we asleep?

- It's all good.

What's up, money?

- I need to go home.

I'm going home.

- Are you all right?

- No.

- I just gotta drive

her home real quick.

She's gotta head home.

Let me use the wheels.

Enjoy the night, it's young.

Have fun.

Let's go.

- Perry.

- Mm-hmm.

Okay, okay, stop.

Stop, stop, stop, stop.

- What is the problem?

Are you all right?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm just not feeling

it, that's all.

- Whatever.

Wow.

You know something?

I feel really sorry for you.

I mean, what's the problem, huh?

Can't you get it up?

- Yeah, that's good.

Insult my masculinity.

Real class.

- You had no trouble

back at the club.

Hey, you're the one

who brought me here.

- You know what?

Correction, I'm not the one

who brought you anywhere.

This was all Billy's idea.

All of this.

- Well, he had no

trouble with candy.

I'm starting to think you're

a little soft for a reason.

Yeah? What are you

trying to say now?

- Just saying, you know, you

can't rise to the occasion,

and it's pretty pathetic.

What a waste of cock and balls.

Hey, tell me something.

What's your wife think

of your little problem?

- Yeah, f*** you.

- F*** you!

- You know what.

What are you talking about?

Is this what you want?

- What are you going

to f*** me now or what?

Go ahead.

- Love birds.

Holy.

Jesus, dude.

Must have had a

killer time, huh?

Perry?

Hey, Perry.

- Oh, f***.

- Hey, man, this

doesn't look too good.

Perry, you wanna tell

me what happened?

- I don't know.

- Sherri?

Sherri, hey.

Come on.

Sherri.

Sherri.

Hey, Sherri.

Hey, Sherri!

- Is she dead?

- Sit down.

Sit down!

- Oh, sh*t.

Oh, sh*t.

- From start to finish, please.

- It's all a blur, Billy.

I remember you leaving,

and I remember us

sitting on the bed,

but I don't remember

anything else.

- What about the blood, and

all those scratch marks on you.

- It's all a blur, Billy.

- A blur?

A blur, that's

all you gotta say?

A blur?

I'm sorry, my man.

This is a little bit

more than a blur.

- Look, it all happened

so fast, all right?

Look, I just, I don't.

- You what?

- I don't f***ing know.

- What, did you kill her?

- Jesus Christ, I didn't

f***ing kill her, Billy.

Oh god, I don't think I did.

- Okay, great, you

don't even know?

And when I left,

everything was fine here.

I wasn't even gone that long.

I come back and there's

some dead chick in the bed.

What do you expect

me to think, huh?

Well?

Jesus.

Jesus, man.

We need to get control

of this situation.

This is some bad sh*t, Perry.

We need to figure

some things out here.

- Like what?

- Like what do we

do with the body?

- Jesus Christ,

I didn't kill her, Billy.

- This is just crazy, man.

Okay, okay, breathe.

Breathe.

Whatever happened,

happened, okay?

It's over now.

We're gonna take

care of this, okay?

Hey, I need you to

pull yourself together.

Breathe, breathe.

Let's wrap the body, and let's

try to get it out of here.

Okay?

Okay?

F***.

Give me a hand.

Perry.

Perry.

Perry, give me a f***ing hand.

Whatever happened,

happened, okay?

It's over now.

We gotta take care of this.

Hey, I need you to get a

hold of yourself, Capisce?

All right?

- Okay, Capisce.

- Grab her feet and we'll

take her out of here, okay?

All right?

You do that for me?

All right, let's do this quick.

Get in the car.

How you holding up?

- Not too good.

- Just stay cool, all right?

I know this wasn't on

the agenda, but relax.

We'll deal with it

the best we can, okay?

Okay?

- Yeah.

Where are we going?

- The beach.

Some guy I know has

a boat tied up there.

- I'm really sorry

about this, Billy.

- I know, I know.

Hang in there, pal.

Just try to hang in there.

- I'm trying.

- I'm trying.

Perry?

It's time.

- Where are we?

- The beach.

Come on, let's go.

I got the boat there.

Come on.

Hey, grab her feet.

Ready?

Right here, right here.

Grab some rocks.

We've got to weigh

the body down.

Grab some rocks.

Come on.

What, are you just

going to stand there?

- What do you want me to do?

- Help me carry it to the boat.

Grab the other end.

Come on.

Okay, watch the rocks.

Watch it, Perry.

What the f***?

This way.

Grab the oars, Perry.

All right, push her out.

Let's go.

All right, here.

You know, Perry.

I really wish you would tell me

what happened back there.

- What do you want me

to tell you, Billy?

- How about the truth?

Why don't you just come clean?

You owe me that much.

- I owe you?

Are you kidding me?

- No, I'm not.

- Who came to your

rescue tonight, Billy?

- Don't hand me that sh*t, man.

You just killed some chick.

All right, what the

f*** is wrong with you?

- I told you I didn't kill her.

It had to be an accident.

- Sure didn't look that way.

Strangle marks, you

call that an accident?

- I didn't touch

her that way, Billy.

And I swear to god I

didn't touch her that way.

It's all a blank.

I remember bits and

pieces of it, really.

She was on the bed,

she wanted to have sex,

and I told her no

and she got mad.

And the rest of it I

remember her as Lisa.

I remember thinking of

Lisa, and my heart pounded

out of my chest, but I didn't

f***ing kill her, Billy.

I would never kill somebody.

- I really want to

believe you, Perry. I do.

You know, but she was

pretty beat up, man.

- I know, I saw her.

- You know we can't breathe a

word of this to anyone, right?

- Let's just do this thing.

- Well, let's get back.

- You need me to

give you a ride anywhere?

- No, I think

I'm just gonna walk.

- Where to?

- I'm not sure.

I need to clear

my head out a bit.

You be careful.

- Shouldn't I be

telling you that?

- No.

- Hey, don't be a stranger.

- I won't.

- What time is it?

It's almost 6:
30.

- Where were you all night?

- It's a long story.

- You have to be in at nine.

- I'm not gonna go in till noon.

- Sweetie, it's time for bed.

- Okay.

- Good night, baby.

I love you.

- Love you.

You all right?

- I'm fine.

- You didn't say much at dinner.

Jarrod was trying to

tell you about his day,

but your weren't listening.

- I'll see him tomorrow.

I just had a real rough

day at the office.

- You wanna talk about it?

- Not really.

There you go, buddy.

- Thank you.

- No problem.

We'll see you next week.

- I'll be out of town next week,

but I'll call and

make an appointment.

- Probably a good idea.

- Thank you, Perry.

- See you later.

- Excuse me.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Well, hello, stranger.

You remember me?

- Yeah.

- I guess you heard they

found Sherri's body, right?

You remember Sherri?

- Yeah, I remember.

- The fish had

eaten her eyes out.

Isn't that gross?

- Why are you here?

- I didn't think you were

gonna play dumb with me.

I think you know why I'm here.

- How did you find me?

- It was easy.

It's a small town, people talk.

I heard that you

beat Sherri to death
