Original subtitles

Early this morning,

you came knocking on my door.

"Hello, Satan," I said.

"I believe it's time to go."

The two of us, walking side-by-side.

You gonna bury my body

down by the highway-side.

So my old evil spirit

can catch a Greyhound bus...

and ride.

Happy 27, Quinn.

You're a legend.

Don't think I didn't see you snag my coke, Brenda.

Fuck...

This music is the siren call

of the devil himself.

Polluting our children.

Offering base gratification

in exchange for their eternal souls.

It gives hope to the devil to know

that so many people are willing to hand over their shot

at eternal life with Jesus Christ...

in exchange for being the idols

these other lost souls worship.

There is a special place in hell

for those who take what is meant for the Lord.

One, two, three, four!

Fuck.

Oh, now you're up.

As soon as I want some privacy,

you pricks spring right into action.

Go home, assholes.

I said get the fuck...

Quinn Scott, your debt is due.

I'll kill her. I'll kill her, I swear I'll do it.

Your time has passed.

Quinn.

Quinn, what are you doing?

Fuckhead, wake...

Quinn!

Quinn?

Fuck.

Asshole.

Lily. Lily, hey, hey.

We got to go. We got to go.

We got to go right now.

Get up. We got to go. Get up. We got to go.

I can hear your phone buzzing through the door.

Oh!

Or it could have been your vibrator buzzing.

Who's to say?

I got in late after the show last night.

And then I put in a full night of editing.

I need you to come with me over to Jenny's place.

For the last time, man,

I'm not gonna have a threesome with you and your girlfriend.

But Jenny and your mom, that's still on the table.

You are way too old for my mom, man.

Jenny's way too old for you.

Hey, fuck you, man. She's hot.

Her sister's over there being dramatic.

If you show up with me, they'll just...

- Cut it short. - Fine.

- Buy you a coffee? - Thanks.

- A latte. - Oh, fuck you.

Well...

Local music fans have gathered today to pay tribute

to rock 'n' roll star Quinn Scott.

The charismatic frontman of the band Saturn's Return

who died last night in the building behind me

after celebrating achieving platinum record status

on what was his 27th birthday.

An autopsy is currently being conducted.

And while it may take several weeks for authorities

to determine the actual cause of death,

focus has already been brought to the notorious 27 Club

into which Quinn Scott is tragically...

- Hey. - ...the most recent inductee.

- What's going on over there? - Quinn Scott died.

I just saw him perform last night.

Hey.

We really got to go.

Oh, this would be perfect for my doc.

Wow, that's your reaction?

Come on, man. You got to admit. The timing's super nuts.

He was just joking about the curse at his show last night.

This makes Quinn Scott the newest member of the 27 Club.

So?

So? Robert Johnson, Amy Winehouse,

Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin,

Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison.

And now Quinn Scott?

There's got to be a connection.

Yeah, they're all the same age.

No, it goes way deeper than that.

Quinn Scott is just the most recent to be taken.

Jimi Hendrix, OD'd on pills

and one of his roadies claims his manager confessed to murdering him.

Janis Joplin, OD's on heroin

right before releasing her biggest hit song.

Jim Morrison dies of heart failure.

His corpse was wrapped in plastic and packed in dry ice

for three days before being reported.

Kurt Cobain dies from a shotgun blast to the head.

Murder allegations have been documented,

but never properly investigated.

Amy Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning.

Her family and management burns through her $10 million estate

in under two years.

Robert Johnson, the original.

He suffered for three days straight before dying of strychnine poisoning

from a bottle of whiskey.

Any one of their deaths could have easily been a murder.

Yeah, yeah. Murder, suicide.

Maybe they were dragged to hell!

- Anything's possible. - All right, let's go.

We got to get going to Jenny's,

I really wanna get this thing over with.

You can come back later.

- Come on. - Okay, all right.

You can't keep scaring me like this

and expect me to forget about it.

Would you dial back the shrill mom tone

just a little bit?

If you keep getting blackout drunk,

you're gonna get really hurt one day.

I was with Caleb.

That shithead. He left you passed out in front of my door.

I'm in one piece.

Hey, guys.

Coffee?

Thanks.

Lily, what happened this time?

Nothing.

She's fine.

Mmm.

You guys know I have a show tonight?

Cool. Where is it?

At the Panic Room.

It'd be great if you guys could come.

We got to play to a full house, right?

I thought you said those guys don't like you.

Caleb likes me,

and he owns all their gear.

He said I could sing tonight.

Is he your boyfriend?

When required.

Can you give me a ride to my place?

We're going to brunch in the opposite direction.

We're already pretty late, too.

I can walk you home.

It's on my way.

Hey, Professor Crawford.

How's the project going?

Um, Quinn Scott died last night.

He just turned 27.

That's helpful for you, I suppose.

This could be the thing that really pushed this project over the edge.

I hope so.

Do you think these connections are real?

More and more, as I keep researching.

Uh, the only thing I haven't done is communicate with the dead.

Interesting. That might be worth a try.

But that would be entirely your decision.

I wouldn't even know where to start.

Anything else before I go?

Um, yeah. Maybe one question.

Do you believe in the curse?

I believe in you, Jason.

You've got the opportunity to do something really great here.

Keep up the good work.

Professor?

Hey, can you hear me?

Something? Anything?

Ah, forget it.

All right, are you guys ready to rock?

Ladies and gentlemen,

may I introduce Vile Descent!

And for the first time on vocals...

Lily Glance!

Are you fuckers ready to get crazy?

Lily! Yeah!

Asshole.

I know you can do better than that.

Show us your tits.

I bet you wanna hear "Free Bird," too, you fucking douchebag.

No, I just wanted to see your tits.

He's wasted.

Yeah, that makes two of us.

Hey, can we just start the show? Let's start the show!

All right, everybody. Thanks for coming out.

My name is Lily Glance.

And these are my lady singers!

She has the attitude. If only she had the talent.

- I cannot watch this. - What?

I cannot watch this. We're going.

Let's go.

Thanks, fuckers. I actually wanted a whiskey.

You know what? We're done. And you're done.

Everyone, Lily's first and last performance.

- You're out. Go. - Yeah!

Get out of here.

Get the fuck out of here.

Yeah, sorry about that, everybody. Fuck them.

Is there, uh... Do we got a bass player in the house, man?

Just take this pussy out of here.

We need one bass player.

All right, well, "The show must go on," as they say, right?

We are Vile Descent.

First song is called "We Are Slaves."

Let's get crazy.

♪ We are slaves

♪ We are slaves

♪ We are slaves

♪ We are slaves

♪ We are slaves

Caleb, get back here.

Come on.

Every time, man. Every time.

- Come on. - What? What?

Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said.

All right? I'll do whatever it takes.

Those guys are never gonna let me live this down, ever.

Do you understand?

You don't need those guys.

You're so much better than them.

Turn off your dick, dude.

You guys should make your own band.

Maybe one day you guys could open for us.

Yeah, fuck you!

Keep dreaming, bitch.

It's not working out, all right?

You made me look stupid, do you understand?

There's nothing... There's nothing you can do to make it up to me.

All right? You're done.

What?

Look, doesn't mean we're done.

You mean we can, like, keep hooking up or whatever?

Yeah. Whatever you want.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Anything.

Fuck her!

You're such an asshole.

- Later, bitches. - Hey, that's my stuff. That's my shit.

Hey! Fuck!

Hey, are you okay?

Jason?

Sorry.

Those guys are jerks.

Zane and Jenny split?

Yeah.

Can't blame 'em.

You weren't that bad.

Thanks, I guess.

You were right. They were playing too slow.

Right?

I mean, I may have been a little off.

But they sucked tonight.

And the best part is I have it all recorded

so you can analyze it later.

No!

No, you were not filming that shit show.

Yeah, yeah, I was filming that shit show.

For my documentary.

About shitty local bands?

The 27 Club. You know it?

Yeah. That's cool.

Who's your favorite member? Is it Amy Winehouse?

You have some of the same tattoos that she does.

Good eye.

My favorite is Robert Johnson.

He's the first rock 'n' roller

to ever be inducted into the club.

They say he made a deal with the devil.

Pretty crazy, right?

I've tried that a couple times.

As witnessed tonight, it did not work.

Do you think it's all coincidence?

I mean, there's plenty of people who've made it big

that didn't die at 27.

Yeah, but the musicians who died at 27

seem to represent their generation in a significant way.

They perpetuate this "live fast, die young" fantasy

that most people are too afraid to go after.

I'd gladly call it life at 27

if it meant I had half the success Amy had.

Yeah?

You don't think that sounds like a selfish thing to say?

I mean, we're all gonna go sometime.

I want a life that people remember.

She gave herself to us completely.

And now we have her music forever.

It's not a selfish dream, it's a generous one.

That was great.

Would you mind if you said that again and I put it on tape?

Right now?

- Yeah. - Not a good time.

I still want to interview you, though.

I think it'd make a great addition to the film.

I do need a musician's perspective.

Look, I know you're into me or whatever,

but... I'm no Amy.

Well, maybe not yet.

But neither was she.

Until she was.

Clock's ticking on that. I'm already 26.

Can I buy you a drink somewhere?

- How about three? - Okay.

If there was a better way to wash off a bad night,

I haven't found it yet.

Cheers.

Why are you, uh...

Why are you making a documentary on the 27 Club?

I've always loved music.

You know, it's the closest thing you can get to real magic on earth.

Like, when you hear, like, a really great song

and it does something to you

that you never would have felt without it.

So why don't you pick up the guitar or something?

I tried. I was awful.

Yeah, my only hope would've been making a deal with the devil, too.

But, uh, yeah.

So I'm just taking it for this, uh,

independent study program over the summer.

Just figured I would channel my energy

into something that I'm actually passionate about.

All right, Mr. Passion.

Give me 40 bucks.

Is this for the interview that you're gonna give me later?

It's a start.

Excuse you.

Is everything okay?

Fine. How's your relationship with your drug dealer?

You know, I think I've seen him before.

Really? You know Derek?

I wouldn't say I know him.

Lucky you.

Ooh!

That's better.

Your turn.

Oh, my God.

What?

I feel like dancing.

I don't dance.

You do now.

Do they know that girl?

What?

There was a girl.

A girl?

Yeah. They were leaving.

You can't leave yet.

Let's keep dancing.

Okay.

Let me put this down.

Here. Put this on.

Okay. Okay.

- Hurry up. - I'll be right back.

I make love to thousands of people every night.

And then I go home alone.

Now, that doesn't sound fair to me, does it?

You know, nobody who ever saw me perform

had to go home alone. They each...

took a piece of me with them.

Whether they knew it or not.

One day, I'll have nothing left to lose.

No more love to give.

And then I'll be free.

They might move on to the next one,

but they'll never forget me.

Shit.

- Hi. - Hey.

- Did we, uh... - I don't know.

I hope we didn't.

Oh, yeah. Me, too.

I know you probably think

that it doesn't make sense for us to be together.

But I think we can still try.

Please, just leave.

I don't think I want to be in your movie.

What?

You saw the show.

No one wants to hear what I have to say.

And this feels weird.

I didn't think it was that bad.

I think you're amazing.

Just think about it.

The interview, I mean.

- What's that? - What?

Nothing.

The notebook.

Oh...

That's just, um, something that I'm using for my project,

but you're no longer interested in it anymore,

so can I have it back, please?

Um, yeah. Sure.

Okay, um...

I'm just gonna get dressed outside.

Hey, dude.

Show me the video of Lily getting booed offstage last night.

Jenny made us leave before it was over.

That shit was hilarious.

Not now, man. I'm trying to get some work done.

Come on, I wanna see it.

Dude, it wasn't even that funny.

Are you defending her?

She's a good person.

How well do you know her?

Better than you think.

Wait a minute, did you hook up with her?

Why would you even say that?

I knocked on your door this morning,

you weren't here.

You never stay out. What happened?

Nothing.

I mean, I stayed at her place, but it's nothing like that.

Oh, my God, you did!

Congratulations, you've joined the club

of the 27 other guys she's currently banging.

What's that supposed to mean?

It's just a pretty easy score, no offense.

How would you know?

What is that?

Oh, shit.

That's what I'm researching.

I think it's instructions for summoning a demon.

Do you speak Mexican?

Mexican isn't a language, it's Spanish.

But even that's wrong because you're looking at Latin.

I see Mexico, senor.

- Where? - Speak it. Let's summon this demon.

Let's hope it's not Lily.

- Ugh. - Summon this shit.

Hey.

Hey, man.

Are you the manager?

No. Sorry, dude. Just the checkout person.

Why, you got to complain or something?

Actually, I was just wondering if you guys had this

on CD.

The Very Best of Everclear.

Deep shit, huh?

First of all, fantastic choice.

Vinyl's awesome, obviously,

but I was thinking it might be cool

to, like, listen to these tracks in my friend's car.

Maybe download it?

And lose that vintage sound of the original?

Yeah, well, we only have it on vinyl here,

so maybe check at Goodwill or something.

I think they stock CDs.

I know a little bit about vinyl. Mind if I have a look?

Uh, sure, man.

Everclear.

What's your name?

Bladen.

Bladen.

Sleeve's in good shape.

Let's check the vinyl.

There's something wrong with this one.

The vinyl is broken.

Dude, this guy's hardcore.

Here, Bladen.

Stooges, Damned...

Quinn Scott.

Much better than the Everclear.

Oh, and by the way.

This, too. None of that's any good without it.

Now go poke some holes in your face.

Shoo. Scat.

Say hi to your mom for me.

I like to do what I can to educate the youth.

I can see that.

Oh, no.

Is that a friend of yours, Lily?

No, just some guy I was hoping

I wouldn't have to see for a while.

Would you like me to educate him a little?

Why don't you see if he'll give me that necklace he's wearing?

We dated for five weeks, and he never gave me anything.

What a jerk.

Mmm.

Hey.

Hey.

So, uh, you here to apologize or something?

Yeah, some...

Something kinda like that.

You know, you can't go over there empty-handed.

You got to be bearing some gifts, as they say.

What do you got on you?

Why, you're looking for some drugs or something, man?

I don't got anything like that.

Do I look like I need to score drugs

from some wuss in a record store?

No. I mean, nice things. Things for girls.

Yeah, well, I'm fresh out of nice things for girls, okay?

What about this?

I got this from a close friend, okay?

I'm not dating her or anything like that.

She's not my girlfriend.

And she never will be,

unless you learn to make a sacrifice.

All right.

If you think it'll work.

It'll work.

This means a lot.

So...

You wanna hang out when you get off your shift?

Yeah?

Yeah?

That thing says we need a drop of blood.

Come on, bro. What the fuck are you talking about?

Candles and an offering.

Something specific to the person that you're trying to contact.

Why is your computer in the center?

Because I need a flat, black mirrored surface

for visualizing the evocation,

but I don't have a polished black obelisk,

so I'm using my laptop screen instead.

So you're like FaceTiming a demon?

Yeah, I guess so.

Wow.

So you got a screen name in here?

Just gonna give him a call?

Come on. Let's do it.

Oh, oh. Okay, I'm out.

What? What? Hey, man, what if something crazy happens?

Crazy is already happening in here.

You're about to worship your computer by candlelight.

If anything else happens,

you got your cameras here to capture it.

So, I'm out.

Fine. Just turn off the lights before you go.

"Spirits of the past, move among us.

"Be guided by the light of this world,

"and visit your soul upon us.

"We... I bestow upon you

"gifts from life into death.

"Visit your soul upon us."

That was something.

The spirit of Quinn Scott,

I offer you my body as a vessel

to once again merge with the living.

Oh. Hey, Professor. What did you just say?

Nevermind. I was just clearing my voice.

Interesting lighting. Did the power go out?

No. Just trying out some stuff I found in this crazy notebook.

I'm pretty sure nothing's going to happen.

This part of the documentary

will probably just make me look like an idiot.

Get some answers before you go diving in.

Thanks, Professor. Talk soon.

Goodbye, Jason.

My camera's out of memory.

Here. Put this on.

Okay. Okay.

- Hurry up. - I'll be right back.

Yeah, uh...

This isn't gonna work, like, right now.

Oh, my God, you're such a loser.

Hello?

Oh, hey.

I've been thinking about it, and, uh...

I think I'm down to do your interview.

What made you change your mind?

I don't know, I was just, um...

Just thinking it might be a good opportunity.

You know, even if nothing's really going on

with my career right now, it might be good.

I mean, for the future,

see what I'm like now.

I totally agree. Maybe tomorrow?

You should head over before I change my mind.

Okay.

Then everything's cool between us?

Yeah, of course.

Oh, can you bring that notebook from earlier?

I want to look at it.

Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about it, too.

I'll be over soon.

Extend your hands

beyond the clouds to the stars.

Eyes gazing beyond your reach.

Let yourself glide across the edge of the cliff,

and soar with broken wings.

Drink the view until you're quenched.

Forget your raffish trade.

An offering of innocence will plow you to the stage.

The ride is short and fast, my friend.

Your soul drowns while you wait.

There's hell below. Enjoy the show.

For you, it has been made.

So, when did you first start singing?

I've always been singing. It's who I am.

Then I guess, uh, when did you first start performing?

Can I be honest to you about something?

Yeah, sure.

These questions are really boring.

What kind of interview did you want this to be?

Uh, okay, let me think.

Since you asked me to bring it over,

how about we talk about the notebook?

Let me see it.

Oh, my God.

What?

I knew this looked familiar.

This is Derek's book. I saw it at his place.

We actually tried using it one time

to talk to dead rockstars.

He said that Quinn used this book to become famous.

Yeah?

I could take you to his place

and you could ask him yourself.

Yeah, yeah, let's do that.

Okay.

I think it's through here, but it's been a while.

I got rid of it because it's useless!

I'm done with it.

Let someone else ruin their life with that shit.

You need to get it back!

You're the only one that's seen it work before.

Not like I hid it in a safe place.

I wanted to be done with it!

It's gone.

Finally, I have something good enough to offer,

and now it's fucking wasted.

Derek?

Are you down here?

Stop it!

Derek, you need to get over here.

Leave him alone.

You shouldn't be here.

Did she get out?

Now, what do we have here?

Tell him to let go of Jason.

I caught these fucks sneaking around.

Kyle, cool off.

What the hell are you doing here?

Tell him to let him go.

He's harmless. We just came by to talk to you.

And what do you want to talk to me about, huh?

Let him up before he pisses all over my floor.

We came by to talk to you...

About this.

It's no big deal. We can get out of here if you want.

Relax.

I think you guys should stay for a bit.

Follow me.

- That thing rolling? - Yep.

Maybe we can start by you telling me where you first saw the book.

It's Quinn's book.

He gave it to me just before he started really taking off,

said he didn't need it anymore.

The more I watched Quinn's success,

the more I was convinced it had everything to do with this book.

But something was always missing.

- What was it? - This page here.

It's a reproduction of a contract

like Robert Johnson signed with the devil.

If you noticed, the signature's missing.

But this page always seemed special.

Then how did Quinn get it to work for him?

You ever notice he always wore a necklace

with a little metal cylinder on it?

Whatever's in that thing is key to this page,

and without it, the book wouldn't give me what I begged it for.

But my time's passed.

And I'm cursed to live out my life

knowing that I have done ten times what I need to

to secure my place in hell.

Have you ever thought about just destroying it?

We've got a furnace in that room over there

that'll completely destroy anything.

And, yeah,

I've considered throwing this in there a few times.

When I heard Quinn died, I figured it was time

to give some other sucker a chance of putting the two together.

I guess it's not finished with me after all.

I was at Quinn's the night he died.

Now...

I have this.

I want to try it first.

I wanna talk to Amy.

You can open up the door,

but you don't get to pick what comes out.

The scroll found me.

What the hell is that?

Shit. Is that a heart?

It's Quinn Scott's heart.

I killed for it.

Good enough?

We should get out of here.

Quiet.

Spirits of the past, move among us

guided by the light of this world

and visit upon us.

Our door is open to you.

The spirit of Quinn Scott, we call to you.

We call to you with that which made you human.

There is one in our presence who has touched darkness.

Give us a sign.

Show us you are here.

Let me be your vessel.

Take my body and do your will again on Earth.

- That's not a spirit. He's having a heart... - Jason, stop.

- He's gonna die. - Let him!

Let him be your vessel.

I am your vessel.

No!

I feel your presence.

You bitch. You're fucking ruining it!

- I will be your servant. - Stop!

You're fucking ruining it!

Oh, you're gonna make such a good offering.

Stop it!

What's up, bro-seph?

Don't you ever knock?

Not when you stay out two nights in a row, my friend.

What the fuck is this?

It's Derek.

Why the fuck do you have pictures of him?

I don't know.

He let me go over to his place and interview him last night.

Yeah, about what, being a fucking drug-dealing creep asshole?

That guy used to stalk Jenny and Lily.

They said he would try to get 'em high when they were, like, 16.

I didn't know that, you know.

He didn't seem that bad at the time.

Maybe he's mellowed out or something.

Whatever that means.

Just don't let Jenny find out if you wanna keep your head attached to your body.

Thanks for the advice.

Wash my shirt before you give it back, please.

Where the fuck did you find that anyway?

I thought I lost it months ago.

I...

Don't steal my shit.

Yeah.

- Hey. - I love you.

I'm sorry. What?

Why didn't you tell me you were gonna upload the video?

- Oh... - People love me.

Yeah, yeah. Well, you were amazing.

A friend watched it and wants me to perform at her coffee shop later.

I would love for you to film it.

Okay.

Thanks for believing in me.

None of this would be happening without you.

Well, I knew you'd be a big help to my project, so...

I'll see you later tonight.

See you soon.

Did you guys love it?

Oh, my God. You were amazing, Lily.

Thanks.

Finding my voice has been a really cool thing.

I'm just really glad you guys could make it.

That was amazing, Lily.

Thanks, Zane.

Excuse me. Lily?

I loved your performance.

You have an amazing voice.

My name is Mick. I'm a record producer.

I wanted to know if you'll come by my studio tomorrow

to record vocals for one of my songs.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, that would be great.

- Thank you. - No...

Thank you.

Here's my card.

Give my studio a call tomorrow, and they'll get you all set up.

Okay.

You guys have a great night, all right?

Ready to go, Jason?

- Yeah. - Okay.

It's good seeing you guys.

No. Maybe this.

How's it going over there?

What? Oh, um...

Sorry, I just...

You know what? I'm gonna take off

and give you some space to practice.

Yup. Yup, okay.

Gonna use the bathroom before I go.

Oh, uh, no.

No, it's not... Sorry.

It's broken. Totally useless in there.

Nothing works.

Okay.

- Hey. - Jesus!

- Calm down, dude. - Okay.

I just...

I wanted to see if you would film the recording session tomorrow?

Yeah, fine.

"Fine"?

Yeah.

Uh, okay.

Thanks.

I'll see you then.

Okay.

But I got to practice, so...

Okay.

I'm the reason that you've been chosen.

What do you want?

Revenge for killing that piece of shit?

No, I want your power.

You don't know its strength.

Until you kill someone pure.

It'll never end. You'll keep killing.

I devoted my life to this.

And you stole it from me!

Do you wanna fuck me?

Cum all over me.

Be right there.

Yep?

Hi, Zane.

What are you doing here?

Don't be cute.

I told you last time.

That it was a mistake and we should stop.

I see the way you look at me.

Wanting more.

Aren't you gonna invite me in?

God, you're a mess.

A fucking hot mess, though.

All right.

This is truly the last time.

Simply being a part of the generation

isn't good enough for most of you.

So desperate to know this secret.

Yeah, it's a big fucking secret

that everybody who seems to know won't tell.

How can I make people want me?

It's bullshit.

You know, fame isn't a reflection of...

Of skill or talent.

It's all just... It's all just...

Magnetism.

It's wasted on people who want it. They just can't make it last.

Maybe the answer is...

do nothing.

Huh.

That's the fucking trick.

It's just you wanting people to want you back.

Nothing pushes people away like feeling wanted.

So you fucked it up before you even got started.

There are just some people who want nothing to do with you.

And those are the ones who you give all your love to.

Lily.

I see you're all settled in.

I hope you don't mind, I told Jason

I'd let him film for his little project.

Of course not.

You've got a great eye for talent, Jason.

I see this girl doing big things.

If she's willing to work hard and make sacrifices.

Whatever it takes. Right?

Yeah.

So, feel good?

You ready to make some magic?

Absolutely.

Jason, let's give her the booth.

You can film from the control room.

Got it.

All right, here we go.

♪ Should I stay

♪ Should I go

♪ I will keep my distance You know

♪ 'Cause you keep me falling all night

So you really think she's got something, huh?

Definitely.

She's got a sexy look, too.

Yeah, definitely.

You guys a thing?

- No, not really. - That's good.

She's not gonna want some boyfriend slowing her down

when the wheels really start to turn.

♪ Small secrets Keep me awake

♪ Small secrets Keep me awake

♪ So you keep me falling all night

♪ Yeah, you keep me falling all night

♪ Yeah, you keep me falling all night

♪ You just keep me falling all night ♪

Lily, that was fantastic.

Right, Jason?

Yeah, amazing as always.

I'm gonna send the track to the label.

Have them give it a listen.

Wow.

That's great.

All right, I wanna thank you guys right now.

I'll be in touch.

Check in with my secretary on the way out.

Nice job.

- What's wrong? - It's Jenny.

She's been calling and texting this whole time.

Ugh. Weird.

We should probably call her back.

Yeah, don't worry about it. I'll call her back.

I'm just so excited!

And you haven't heard from him all day?

I got this weird text from him this morning,

saying he wanted some space.

Sorry. I'm sure he's fine.

Thanks.

Well, we're headed to Jason's room right now.

I mean, we're headed to his place.

Right, Jason?

Uh, yeah, yeah.

I'll give you a call whenever we get there

and let you know that he's okay.

- Okay? - Thank you, Jason.

Congratulations, by the way, Lily.

I know today was a big deal for you.

Thanks.

- We'll talk later, okay? - Okay.

Is that Zane?

Mmm. Unknown number.

They loved it.

Uh-huh.

They want you to release it as a single before the movie comes out.

We'll need you this weekend.

We'll be staying at my beach house.

Holy shit.

I mean, yes.

They loved the track.

Awesome.

- Lily, are you there? - Yeah.

Sorry.

They want you to shoot a video when you get there.

So I'm gonna need you to sign a few more papers,

you know, before you head out.

Here's the deal.

Now, this is the age of the Internet,

so I got to ask...

Do you have any damning videos?

You know, sex tapes or otherwise.

No, of course not.

All my sex happens off-camera.

Yeah, that's what I figured, but I had to ask.

- Of course. - All right.

- I'll be in touch. - Thanks.

What were you talking about?

Oh, it's nothing. He was just making a joke.

He's making sex jokes already?

It's nothing. Chill.

Oh!

So, I would love to see a cut of the documentary.

Can we watch?

Um, yeah.

Yeah, I actually have an early cut.

I'll show it to you when we get to my place.

Great.

I have a key to Zane's room in my drawer.

I'm just gonna grab it really fast.

Today has been way too good

to let Jenny and Zane's shit bring me down.

Don't be scared.

I know you want me.

What happens when you leave?

You don't want some boyfriend weighing you down.

Shit.

Oh, hey.

Wait, I need to get that.

I got to take this.

Jason, just wanted to check in.

I know you've been real busy.

Yes, thank you. Very busy.

Not too busy to have a little fun, though.

Yeah, that's... That's true.

Hello, dear. Everything's fine.

I'm Jason's professor.

Is there anything specific you wanted to ask me about?

I've got an opportunity for you

to screen your documentary next week.

Apparently, some producers are coming to the school

and want to check out some student projects.

Wow. Uh, yeah.

I mean, it'll take a lot of editing,

but I think I have everything I need to get it done.

Wonderful. Enjoy the rest of your night.

You, too, dear.

Thank you. Bye.

Where are you going?

Zane still hasn't gotten back in touch with me,

so I'm gonna go check on him.

- Oh, wait. - What?

What is it? What's the matter?

I'm just gonna open up his door and take a look around.

- Okay. - Okay.

Zane?

Buddy?

What's going on, man?

Oh, my God.

Lily, you've got to come see this.

I've never seen his bed made.

Must be really going through some shit.

Lily?

Lily?

Lily?

What the fuck?

I don't know where he is.

Your psycho sister stole all of my shit and then bolted.

I'm on my way now. Meet me there.

Lily!

Lily!

Open up! Lily!

- Jason! - Lily!

- Where is she? - Do you have a key?

She stole everything. She stole my whole documentary.

My camera, my phone, my computer.

I am so sorry

that you're getting dragged into her problems.

I actually thought you'd be a good influence on her.

Where are all the beer cans and bongs

and things she usually has piled up everywhere?

Yeah, this is strange.

I've got to check something.

I'm so sorry, Jason.

As soon as we find out where she went,

I'll make sure you get all your things back.

I think I know where to go.

I think she's down here.

Oh, my God. Lily!

Dude, you burned all my stuff?

We need to get her out of here.

Lily, what is wrong with you?

Come on, Lily.

I'm sorry for what I did.

It's okay.

It's okay.

We'll get you out of here.

You'll be okay.

I'm so sorry.

Okay.

Stay right here. I'll be right back.

Christina?

Help!

Okay. I'm coming in.

Wait for Jason to come back.

Listen to me, you selfish bitch!

Let me out of here.

Lily, they've got somebody locked in here.

Lily, call for help.

Lily?

Lily, what's wrong with you?

- What's happened to you? - Jason!

We need to get out of here.

We can't. We can't leave her.

Try these.

Hey, hey!

It's okay, it's okay. Don't be scared.

Listen, okay?

No!

It's just Jenny. She's here to help, okay?

Look, special people don't have control over their lives.

They only believe in the present moment.

You can let go and give in.

You could be your true self.

I take the moment and I turn it into something beautiful.

And if I can't, I destroy it.

Look, fear of losing your life

prevents you from even living it.

Special people are ignorant of the rules,

scarier than their fears,

and more important than their limited time on Earth.

All right, Lily, don't worry. Don't be nervous.

No tough questions tonight

'cause it's all about promotion for your concert.

Thank you so much.

- How are you feeling? Good? - I'm feeling good.

- All right, how are we looking, Cliff? - Looking good, doll.

All right, count me off.

Here we are in three, two...

So, Lily, how does it feel being at the tail end

of your very first sold-out tour?

It's great.

It's been amazing meeting with fans

and feeling so much support through this tough time.

This last year was the hardest thing I've ever had to go through.

Speaking of the last year,

are you at all concerned that you haven't given yourself enough time

to process everything that's happened to you,

that you got back to work too soon after the tragedy?

I think performing has helped me process

losing all my friends and, you know, my sister

being in a coma.

She's such a survivor.

And that helps me not to feel like, you know, a victim myself.

And of course, my producer, Mick,

has been with me through all of this.

You never know when it's gonna be your time,

so you just...

You have to pursue your dream while you still have the chance.

You know, live for today.

Five minutes, guys.

Very inspiring, Lily. Words to live by.

- Thank you so much. - Yes, thank you.

I hope you enjoy the show.

Oh, we certainly will, Lily.

We certainly will.

Let's go.

What an amazing story.

Lily Glance, survivor of a crazed serial killer,

turning tragedy into triumph.

It's been one year since the fateful night

when Lily Glance lost several of her closest friends

and nearly lost her sister

at the hands of Jason Reed,

a fame-obsessed filmmaker who murdered five young people

and placed Lily's sister in a coma.

Lily just celebrated her 27th birthday a few months ago.

We wish her all the success in the world.

But by the sounds of the audience out there tonight,

I think she's already got that covered.

We got a new driver tonight.

He's got directions to the party.

Are you sure you can't come?

I can't.

I'm gonna hang out with a few people from the label tonight.

Too bad.

Must be great.

Excuse me?

Thousands of adoring fans,

the money,

getting driven around in a nice car like this.

Yup, sure is.

It wasn't always like this.

Yeah, I know.

You weren't Lily Glance until you were. Right?

Yeah. Yeah, that's right.

You know, you just reminded me of someone I haven't thought about in a really long time.

Yeah, I have that effect on people.

They say I'm one of those faces.

Know what I mean?

Hey, mind driving a little safer?

I like that necklace.

Where did you get it?

An old ex-boyfriend gave it to me.

That's strange. Wearing a gift from an ex.

I usually dump everything with the body.

What?

That's just a joke.

I don't usually dump the evidence.

I incinerate it.

Much harder to trace that way.

That's how I did it for you, Lily.

What the fuck did you just say?

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don't distract the driver while the vehicle is in motion.

You sure were sloppy.

Singers, though.

Don't wanna get their hands dirty, am I right?

Fuck you!

Easy, easy.

I have a much better chance of surviving this crash than you.

You bitch! Come back here!

No, no, no.

Hello, Lily.

It's me.

Lily Glance.

Your debt is due.

And this is Scarlet Capra with an Action News 7 exclusive report.

We are live on the scene of a fatal car crash

here on the side of Mulholland Drive,

where it appears that the limo driver

who was transporting

Lily Glance from tonight's concert

lost control of the vehicle,

causing it to plummet into the ravine behind me.

The driver, whose body was thrown from the vehicle,

has not yet been recovered,

but authorities have just confirmed

Lily Glance was killed on impact.

Folks, if you are just joining us,

tragic news tonight.

It is hard to believe rockstar Lily Glance,

dead at 27.
