What are you gonna do for me?

Mother?

Are you excited for the dance? Oh, it's going to be so awesome. I know.

So we'll pick you up at 8.

You know, the limo pull -off. The driver's awesome. My dad knows him. Me

Stacy are getting ready at my house. I already have my dress.

Hey!

Why do all the guys have to hop to the dance with Maitland?

You let all the guys do whatever they wanted, they'd be all over you, too.

Okay, we better go.

Don't want to be late for a premiere.

Actually, I was thinking of bailing.

Wait, Jade, seriously?

You can't skip again.

I know, but I didn't study for the test.

I'm going to bail anyway.

Come on.

I'll let you copy off mine.

Again.

Eyes on your own papers?

Was I not clear?

Or do I need to fail all of you? Sorry.

My bad.

You must be Ashley, my newest victim.

Come in. Grab a test.

Find a seat.

I hope Spanish was part of your last school's curriculum.

Finally.

Somebody who pays attention.

What do you think of her?

She's really pretty.

Who? New girl, Ashley.

Maybe we should see if she wants to hang out tonight.

Yeah. Oh.

Hey, Dad.

Hey. Is that Mr. Johnson?

Hey, Sarah.

I'm going to be staying at Mindy's for a couple days.

She'll eat some leftovers in the fridge.

Yeah, okay.

See you Monday.

They're out of trouble, you two.

Bye, Dad.

Who's Mindy?

I don't know. I've lost track.

Come on.

Hey.

Hey.

I like your kicks.

Nothing hot. I just got them.

So you're new in town?

No. I live on the other side of the freeway.

Transferred out of Lexington High.

But school's a real dick.

Well, what do you think of this place?

Depends. What's going on this weekend?

Actually, we were going to go to a party tonight.

You want to come?

We can pick you up.

Cool. I'm at 18 via Carlina.

Great. We'll see you at 7.

Come on.

I heard Ryan doesn't want to go to the dance. Well, isn't he taking Nicole?

He was.

Now he's not. I don't know.

He's a little weird.

So is she. Hey, girls.

Hi. Hey, Mom.

How was school?

It was the same.

So, Mom, can Jade stay for dinner tonight?

Oh, yeah, sure. Just make sure you ask your dad, okay?

He's actually taking off for a couple days.

Okay. Then I guess you better plan on staying the night.

Okay. Cool.

Big.

I'm telling you, you should just back him to the dance.

If I go with Clay, what are you going to do?

I don't need to go.

Are you serious?

I'm not going without you.

Okay, how about this?

We only go if we both have dates. And if not, then we go together.

Deal?

Deal.

Hey.

Hey. Look what I got.

Why? Where'd you get that? My mom.

Hey, girl.

Where are you all off to tonight?

Oh, just a house party.

Oh, sounds like fun.

Well, you all want to come in, hang out?

No, Mom, we don't want to hang out with you.

She's so cool.

So, what's the deal on the boys?

Anyone off limits?

Well, we don't have boyfriends or anything.

Yeah, but we'd like to.

Actually, I'm not interested in anyone right now.

Excuse me.

Hey, what's up? Hi, Clay.

Who's that?

No one.

Well, if everyone's fair game, I'll just go introduce myself.

Having a good time?

I am now.

Come on.

Let's dance.

Hi. Hi.

How was work?

Huh, not the same.

You sound like Sarah.

Where is she?

Oh, she's out with Jade.

So, Houston called. There's three days left on their offer.

I thought we'd made a decision about that.

No, you did.

Paul, it's just not the right time to move.

I mean, Sarah ran away when they offered you that job in San Diego last year.

Yeah, and I turned it down. And we'd have to relocate to Texas.

Yeah. Can't we just wait until Sarah graduates?

It's only my career.

Want them?

Why? Has it got a root bee in it?

I don't need a root bee to get a girl.

Yeah.

Think again.

Hey, that's my drink.

Oh, my God!

I'm so sorry.

Okay. Hold on here. Oh, okay.

Here, we'll just put it up with this. It's fine.

Okay, I'm going to have to go home.

You can't go home. We just got here.

Besides, I'm staying at your place tonight, remember?

Okay. Okay.

Here, take this.

This? Yeah, I mean, at least I can do.

Besides, it looks really hot on you.

Thanks.

Oh my god, I love this song.

Oh, here we go again.

Did you get the project done for Ramirez class?

Why is it due?

Yeah, like today.

Hey, Jade.

Oh, hey, Owen.

I was just wondering, you going to the dance with anyone?

No. Cool. So, you maybe want to go with me?

Yeah, sure.

Great. I'll see you later.

Okay.

Oh, my God.

Go to the dance.

What'd I miss?

Okay, just got off the dance.

Really? Yeah. By who?

Owen Mason.

Come on, we've got to get to class.

Actually, I'm... What?

I don't think I'm going to go.

You're not skipping again.

Well, I didn't take the assignment.

Neither did I.

Come on, get out of here.

Oh, okay.

I'll see you later.

Hey, well, I'm not coming for both of you.

Hey,

Annie, it's me.

Hey. Hi, I just got a little break.

Do you want to grab some lunch or something?

Well, then we'll just see you at home.

Okay. I'll see you at home later.

Love you.

You know, to be honest,

I think you can do a lot better than Owen.

I mean, I'm sure Therese will do that too, right?

No.

She wanted me to say this.

I'm surprised.

She's your best friend. I mean, you'd think she'd want to see you do better.

I don't know.

Maybe she likes it that way.

Hey.

We got lucky. We had a substitute.

So what are you guys doing?

I don't know, we were thinking about going to Ashley's.

Do you want a cup?

Sure.

I'll meet you guys there.

Your mom lets you drink in the house?

Yeah.

Oh, well thanks.

Hey, girl.

Top me off, will you?

Get your own, Mom.

It's nice to meet you.

I'm Mrs. Troman. Oh, what a lovely manner.

So, will you be staying for dinner? I could order some pizza or something.

Actually, I have to get home for dinner. And, Jane, we should probably get

going.

Oh, um, I think I'm going to stay.

I mean, my dad's not home, and...

Don't put your parents out so much anyway.

I don't mind.

But, yeah, that's cool.

Text me later?

Sure.

Okay.

I'm going to order some pizza.

Where's Jade?

Did she go home?

No, she's staying at Ashley's.

Is that the girl I saw her with this morning?

You don't need to cover for her.

So who is this Ashley?

She's just the new girl who transferred to our school.

She lives on Via Colina.

And she's skipping school already?

Yeah, well, I doubt her mom cares.

What do you mean?

Nothing.

I'm going to go do my homework.

Sarah.

Yeah? There's something I've been wanting to tell you. It's about your

He got an offer.

In Texas.

I know what you're going to say, and I just want you to know that we're not

going to move unless we all agree.

Well, I don't agree.

It would mean a lot more money, and we could send you to a really great school.

I told you, I'm not leaving Jade.

Well, it would mean so much to your dad.

Are we done?

You should try this on.

Oh, cute.

You know, I was curious about what I said earlier.

You don't really want to go to the dance with that Owen guy, do you?

No, not really.

There's a better mirror in the bathroom.

Oh, okay, cool. I'll be right back.

What do you think?

Gorgeous. Yeah?

Yeah.

I love it.

Hey. Hey.

Where were you last night?

I slept over after.

Well, I called.

Really? I missed a little bit. So weird.

So are we still going to Trevor's party tonight?

Uh, yeah, I guess.

Hey, Sarah.

Oh, my God.

Don't you just love this top on Jade?

It's my favorite, but it looks so much better on her.

Buenos dias, chicos y chicas. I'm sure you're all excited to learn this

So let's get going and open your text to page 30.

We'll begin with chapter... I don't know. Ms. Trollman, is the honeymoon

soon?

Why don't you take a seat over there?

Oh, and Ms. Thompson, just so you're aware, having a substitute doesn't let

off the hook.

I've taken up your recent absence with the principal.

One more slip and you'll find yourself suspended.

Let's begin, shall we?

You need to go to the bank.

You sound like your father.

Hey, you are not going out with your boobs hanging out like that, are you?

Why?

Do you want me to dress in sales rack specials like you?

I mean, my God, look at you.

You look like you've been dressed with a church donation bin.

Well, your father would say you look cheap.

Dad would never talk to me like that.

That's good to know.

I mean, no big deal, right?

Actually, I'm not going to go to the dance with Owen anymore.

Why not?

I don't know, Sarah. Maybe I could do better.

Or don't you think so?

Oh, my God.

What? You're going to tell him that you're not going to go with him anymore?

It's so mean.

Maybe if you hadn't pressured me into saying yes.

Hey, what's going on?

Jade's not going to the dance with Ellen.

Oh, thank God that Ellen was such a loser.

Oh, by the way, I talked to Clay, and he said that he's totally into hooking up

with you.

You told her?

How could you do that? No, I didn't. She didn't. I guess.

All right, I mean, come on. It's totally obvious.

But it's cool.

Trust me, he's so into you.

You sure?

Of course.

Why wouldn't he be?

Still, I mean, I...

You can't ask him to the dance.

Remember, we go together or we go with dates.

Now that you're not going with Owen, I can't... Oh, don't worry.

Jane and I'll go together.

Yeah.

That's fine. Just ask me.

Hey, Sarah.

Hey.

Do you want to take a walk or something?

You look really good tonight.

Thank you.

So do you.

So,

is

it true?

What?

That you like me.

Who told you that?

Everybody.

And it's cool.

I just wish I would have known sooner.

Okay, so where are we going?

Mr. Ramirez's house.

Mr. Ramirez, the Spanish teacher?

What for?

You'll see.

What about Sarah?

She'll be fine.

Besides, we don't want a third wheel, do we?

Stop it.

Hey, I thought you were cool with it.

Why would you think that?

Because your new friend just told me.

That Ashley said that I would sleep with you?

Is that why I'm here?

That's why I'm here.

I know.

They pay these teachers too much.

This is for routing you out to the principal.

And that is for separating us.

Okay, well, could you call me if they show up there? Sure.

Okay. Thanks, Brent.

What did he say?

He hasn't seen them. He has no idea where they are.

I wouldn't worry. She's probably just lost track of time.

That's what we said the night she ran away.

She's got no reason to do that now. She doesn't even know about the Texas offer.

She knows.

I told her.

I told her we should think about it.

You did?

Mm -hmm. What'd she say?

That's just great. You know what? My parents moved when I was ten, too, and I

didn't like it much, but guess what? I survived.

Sarah,

where have you been?

Relax, Mom. God. It's almost two hours past your curfew. You know how upset

mother's been? Well, obviously not you.

Sarah.

Your father's right.

And as far as we're both concerned, you're grounded.

Hello? Where are you?

I'm at home.

Why? I was out with Ashley last night and left me, so I figured you were with

her. I'm grounded thanks to you.

I thought you were with Clay.

Clay's a jerk. The only reason that he wanted to be with me was because your

friend Ashley told him that I'd have sex with him.

She wouldn't do that.

Clay probably just told you that to get in your pants.

Well, you shouldn't have left me.

God, Sarah, I thought I was doing you a favor.

Look, I gotta go.

Are you still coming to dinner tonight?

Yeah, sure.

Whatever.

You know you scared me.

And I had no idea where you were.

I told you, I'm not gonna run away again.

Okay.

But you're still grounded.

What about Dad?

How long is he going to hold a grudge for?

Sarah.

Hey. Oh, hey, Jane.

I hope you don't mind I invited Ashley.

No. No, of course we don't mind. It's nice to meet you, Ashley.

So, how are you liking your new school?

Couldn't be happier.

Great.

Bill, my dad just told me we're moving.

What do you mean?

Where? To his girlfriend?

Over at his job? At the refinery?

Well, when do you have to move out?

The end of the month.

But I don't want to go.

Well, don't. Just stay here with us. Right, Mom?

Actually, Jay's going to be staying at my place.

Well, Jay, you know you're always more than welcome to stay with us as much as

you'd like.

So I should get a fourth, right?

So what do you girls want to drink?

Let's see, I've got milk,

water, juice, and that's just about it.

Where's Ashley?

In the bathroom.

So why are you staying with her?

I mean, have you seen her plays?

It's kind of a pigsty.

You're really going to be comfortable there?

Not everyone can afford a cleaning lady like you guys.

Whatever, but I just thought you'd want to stay here with me.

It's kind of what we always talked about.

You know, living together.

Besides, Ashley's not all bad. I mean, look at the way she dresses.

You mean to judge her on the way she dresses?

But it's not just that. I mean, who lets their kid drink in their own house?

I mean, don't you think we've messed up?

I'm guessing she'll probably end up just like her mom.

You're just pissed because I'm not staying here.

Fine, I am.

Ever since you've been hanging out with Ashley, you don't care about our

friendship anymore.

You left me alone last night.

I already said I was sorry. I know, but you would have never have done that if

it weren't for her.

I'm telling you, it's bad news.

Who's bad news?

No, buddy.

Come on.

Here's the counter. We're going to head out.

Oh, where are you going?

I heard Bobby's throwing another party tonight.

Sarah, are you coming?

Sarah is grounded, and it is a school night.

Maybe, Jade, you should stay in, too.

I think Jade needs to let off some steam, especially considering the news

just got.

Does your father know you're going out?

You know he doesn't care.

I know what that's like.

Thanks for dinner, Mrs. Cowan.

I don't know how I'm going to wake up for school tomorrow.

Then don't. I'll just get my mom to write a note for you.

Seriously? Yeah, if I told her to. Sure.

Your mom is so cool.

Your mom would never do that.

You're that tight.

I know. Did you see the way that Sarah tried to get you to stay?

I mean, just because she's grounded, why should you suffer?

No, I know. It was so lame.

You know she holds you back.

It's like she expects you're always going to be there for her when she needs

you.

But what about you?

You know?

Your life.

No, I know. It's like it's all about her.

She doesn't even care.

Exactly. And now that you're being your own person, she's just being all needy

on you.

Who needs that?

I mean, you don't want to be stuck in her shadow forever, do you?

No. I mean, God, if you're that weak, someone should just put you out of your

misery.

Seriously.

No, I am serious.

She drags you down.

She drags us down.

We should just get rid of her.

I mean, I guess we could just ignore her.

No, she's too much of a leech for that.

We have to get rid of her more permanently.

How?

Don't worry.

Maybe it's in here.

Ugh. Hey.

Hey.

Where's Jade?

She wasn't feeling well.

Well, she wasn't.

Listen, she's really upset.

You know, the whole thing with her dad and moving.

She really needs you.

I mean, you're like her best friend, right?

Look, I know that you think I told Clay that you'd sleep with him, but all I

said was that you were into him. He must have taken it that way.

Why didn't you come out with us tonight?

I know Jade would love that.

I can't. I'm grounded, remember?

You sneak out.

I'm sure you've done that before.

Just come out with us.

For a little bit.

Jade really misses you.

Did she say that?

Of course.

I mean, you're like a sister to her.

Hopefully you'll come.

Fine. I'll see if my mom will let me.

Yeah.

Well, in case you have to sneak out, I'll meet you at the end of the street.

Eight o 'clock?

Hello, Mom.

I'm really sorry about the way that I talked to you and Dad.

I just had a bad night.

Anything you want to talk about?

Just boy stuff.

I understand.

Great, because I was hoping I could go out tonight.

I didn't mean you were off the hook. You're still grounded.

That's not fair. Everyone else is going out tonight.

You're still grounded.

That's final.

God, Mom, you still don't understand.

probably taken out as usual.

I mean, why are we even hanging out with her?

I thought we were ditching her.

We are.

We just have to make sure she won't ever tag along again.

So what?

Make her hate us?

Even better.

Hey, where are you?

I'm coming.

Wait for me.

Hey. Just phone.

Okay.

Okay, gotta go.

So where are we going?

Ashley knows about this rave downtown.

Are we going to be able to get in?

Trust me.

It's all good.

Bye, Chuck.

Where is everybody?

This is like a rave or something.

We're just parking here.

Why are we going in here?

I mean, some of my friends here.

Don't worry, you'll like them.

They're over here.

I'm not over here.

Stupid,

let's just leave.

Hey!

Give me my phone!

the hell is wrong with you?

Give it back!

Give it back!

It's the only way to get rid of her.

What? Here, take this.

Take it!

Relax, all right?

We did what we wanted.

I didn't want that. I didn't want you to kill her.

Well, how else were we going to get rid of her?

I thought we were just going to leave her here or something. I don't know.

Here, drop it in the bag.

Do it!

I need shoes.

Let's go.

Why? We can just leave her here. Yes, we can. Let's go.

Wait.

Here,

wipe it off.

Go back to sleep, Mom.

Here, drink this.

It'll make you feel better.

I don't want that.

I didn't want any of this. Well, it's too late. You're already in it. I didn't

do anything.

I didn't do it. Really?

Yes, you did.

You called Sarah. You told her to come.

You drove her to the warehouse.

I didn't do this all by myself.

Here.

What are you doing?

Tying up loose ends.

I'll be right back.

Oh, remember,

we're both in this together.

Where are we going?

That's me.

Why are we going in here?

Sarah? Honey, are you awake?

Sarah?

Paul?

Paul! Yeah?

She's gone.

What? Sarah, she's gone.

Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have been so hard on her. Just calm down, okay?

I mean, her car's still here. Maybe she got to ride someplace with Jade. Oh, I

don't know.

She's probably afraid to come home and get in trouble again. Why don't we just

give her a call?

Where are you going?

Just gonna go home.

Why?

Pack.

Gotta get my stuff out by the end of the week.

Cool. You gonna stay here?

It's Sarah's mom.

Go ahead, answer it.

No, I don't want to answer it. Do it. You're gonna have to talk to her sooner

later.

You know what to say.

Hello? Jade? Hi, this is Lana.

Hi, Mrs. Cowan.

Hi, honey. Have you seen Sarah? Did you guys get together last night?

No.

I haven't seen her since yesterday at school.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Did she call you last night?

Yeah.

And what did she say?

Nothing. Just that she was bummed that she was grounded.

Are you sure that's all she said?

Yeah.

Okay. Well, could you please call me if you hear from her?

And tell her to come home. I won't be mad.

Okay. I will.

Let's go get breakfast.

She claims she hasn't seen her.

And what? You think she's lying? I don't know.

You think I should call Brent? No. Let's go to the police.

Morning.

We're out of cereal.

And everything else.

You think you could pull it together and go to the grocery store?

Sure.

So... How was your night?

Where'd you girls go?

Um, nowhere.

But... I thought I saw you come in.

You don't have to be confused.

As usual.

I gotta go.

Why?

Talk to you later.

Has your daughter ever done this kind of thing before?

She ran away just once. But it was different.

Yeah, it was. This is really unlike Sarah.

Alright, well, first thing we'll do is enter her name in the missing person's

database and then we'll put a trace on her cell phone.

How long will that take?

Not long.

I'm sure wherever we locate her phone, we'll find your daughter safe and sound.

So I'm going to go talk to Jade face -to -face.

Okay, I'll go with you. No, you should stay here in case she comes home or

calls.

Anna, don't worry.

Everything's going to be fine.

Dad? Yeah?

Is there room for my stuff over at Mindy's yet?

Could I bring it by tonight?

I told you I gotta clean out that spare bedroom. It's gonna take a couple days.

What's the matter?

Nothing. What happened to Sarah?

What do you mean?

I thought you couldn't stay with her.

I was, um... She changed her mind.

Drop a key off tomorrow.

You're gonna be alright here, right?

Yeah.

Okay.

See you tomorrow, alright? Yeah.

Okay. Bye.

What are you doing?

Why'd you run off like that?

I had some stuff to take care of.

What?

Stuff.

Look, I know that you're upset, but you gotta chill out, alright?

No one's gonna find out.

We covered our tracks.

You and me now.

Like we said.

Look at me.

I love you. It's going to be okay.

Everything's going to be okay.

Jade, it's Lana.

Hi, Mrs. Cowan.

Hello, Mrs. B.

Hi, Ashley.

Have you heard from her?

No. Me either.

Are you sure you didn't see her last night?

Yeah.

Yeah. Because the last time she disappeared, she spent the night over

But she didn't do that this time. She didn't come here last night.

And she didn't mention anything about wanting to leave home?

Nothing at all?

No.

have to tell me the truth. I know something is up here.

She said she was running away.

What? She was really upset about being grounded.

I mean, we told her not to worry about it, that it was just one more weekend,

but she wouldn't listen.

Did she call you, too?

She called Jade at my place, and I heard her on the speaker.

Why didn't you tell me about this before?

She asked me not to.

I realize how serious this is.

Where did she say she was going?

She didn't.

Just that she was going to hit the road and try to catch a ride or something.

Is this true?

Are you telling me everything? Because I reported her missing to the police.

She said that she was going to run away from home and I haven't heard from her

since.

If you want, we could set something up online to help find her.

I'm sure somebody knows where she is.

That'd be nice.

And I'm sure the police will want to talk to both of you.

Fine, yeah.

You'd be more than happy to help.

I'll be in touch.

See? Easy.

And what about the police?

Don't worry about it, okay?

Just stick to the story and play it cool. Got it?

Okay. We'll talk to them in the morning.

Okay. And then we'll call you. All right, thanks. We'll let you know if we

from her.

Was that the police?

Did they find her phone?

They found it.

Where? In the cab of a transport truck.

Oh, my God. Sarah wasn't there.

Oh, God, Paul.

Lana, it doesn't mean anything except that it looks like she ran away. They're

going to call the driver in for questioning tomorrow.

Tomorrow? He's up at the Oregon line. It's the earliest they could get him

It does fit with what Ashley said.

Ashley? Yeah, she was over at Jade's. They both admitted that Sarah had called

them and said she was running away and she was planning to hitchhike. Well,

we have to tell that to the police.

I don't believe those girls.

I mean, Jade couldn't even look me in the eye.

She probably knows where Sarah is.

She's probably sworn secrecy. No, she couldn't talk to me, Paul.

This girl... Ashley, she was telling me everything about Sarah, like she was

trying to convince me or something.

In their minds, they're probably looking out for her. You know how these girls

are. No.

No, it was different.

Why won't you come stay with me?

I told you, I just want to be alone.

Why?

Just because.

Jade I need you.

Don't turn your back on me.

I told you I didn't pick up any girl.

I understand.

But we're just trying to figure out how her phone ended up in your truck.

So please tell us exactly what you did at the Newhall stop.

I did what I always do.

I got a burger, some fries, talked to a couple of the fellas, and then I got

back out on the road. So you didn't see anybody?

No. You didn't see any teenagers? No.

Look, if you try to pin this on me, hell, you don't even have anything, man.

Just...

Go talk to Irene at the stop.

She knows me. We will most certainly do that.

In the meantime, I suggest you do not leave town.

What do you mean you let him go?

He claims he didn't see your daughter.

Her cell phone was in his truck.

It's possible somebody else put it there.

Why would someone do that?

To throw us off the trail.

What trail?

In the event that something happened to your daughter.

The person responsible may be trying to frame this man.

But you don't know that.

No, we don't. This trucker, he could be lying. He could have picked her up and

dropped her off anywhere. She could still be out there. Yes, sir.

And we are following up on every one of the stops he made to see if anyone saw

Sarah. But you don't believe that happened, do you?

Mrs. Cowan.

We don't have any conclusions yet. We're still trying to gather the facts.

Then when are you going to talk to her friends, Jade and Ashley?

Very soon.

Please, if you think of anything else, give us a call.

We're going to be working around the clock on this. I promise you, we are not

giving up until we find your daughter.

Detective Gaines, what are the chances, I mean, in your experience,

that you'll find her alive?

Well, every case is different. I know that, damn it. Just tell me the truth.

No, I want to hear the truth.

Mrs. Cowan, I feel like we're going to find her.

So let's just try and stay positive, okay?

Thank you for your time.

We'll be in touch tomorrow.

Yes, they did.

Hey. Hey.

What gives? I've been calling you all day.

I've had my phone off. I've been busy.

Busy with what?

Cleaning.

I really want to see you.

Boy, it's late.

And I'm tired.

Wish you were here.

I don't know.

Jade, you have to go.

If you don't, it'll look bad.

Yeah. Alright.

Good.

I'll see you tomorrow.

I love you.

Hey. Hey.

Missed you last night?

Told you I was tired.

Yeah, I know.

I'm not letting you off the hook tonight.

Good morning, everyone.

Miss Thompson?

Where's your sidekick today?

What, no excuses lined up for your best friend?

May I help you?

Jade, Ashley, go with the principal to the office, please.

So you think he told you she was running away?

Yeah.

Was she upset?

Totally. I mean, she thought her parents were being real jerks for grounding

her.

How long have you known Sarah?

It's the sixth grade.

Sounds like a pretty good friend.

Not really. I don't know her that well.

But what I do know is that she was having some problems at home, like with

dad and stuff.

So you really think she ran away?

Jade.

I don't know.

Sorry, I'm not feeling well.

So you don't believe she did?

For sure she did.

I mean...

She did it before, right?

What did you say?

Nothing. Well, you better have said you talked to Sarah, did you? Yes, all

right. I said everything I was supposed to. Now leave me alone.

What?

You heard me.

What's wrong with you?

I'm done.

I can't do this anymore.

Don't you walk away from me, Jane!

to tell me the truth. I know something is up here.

Is this true?

Are you telling me everything?

Hey, can I help you? Hi, I'm Lana Cowan, Sarah's mom.

Tina Trowman.

Would you have a minute to talk?

Yeah, sure.

Come on in.

Thanks.

I don't know if Ashley told you, but Sarah is missing.

Missing? Yeah, she never came home Saturday night.

I had no idea.

Have you called the police?

Yes, I have.

They've put homicide on it.

I'm so sorry.

If there's anything I can do... Well, maybe you could tell me where Ashley was

Saturday night.

Ashley, what does Ashley have to do with this?

She said Sarah called Jade while they were here and told them she was running

away.

I just find it hard to believe that Jade wouldn't tell me that. I mean, Sarah

and Jade are best friends.

I just thought maybe if I knew all three of them went out, that I would have a

clearer picture of what happened.

Did Ashley and Jade go out Saturday night?

Go back to sleep, Mom.

Tina. I'm sorry. What was that?

Did the girls go out Saturday night?

No, we didn't.

Hi, Ashley.

Ashley, you never told me your friend Sarah was missing.

You mean ran away?

I didn't think it was a big deal.

She did it before, right?

So, uh, why do you want to know where I was Saturday night?

Are you, like, interrogating my mother or something?

I'm just trying to get all the facts so I can understand what happened.

Well, uh, to answer your question, I didn't go out Saturday night.

I know Jade did, though.

To go out and meet Sarah.

Yeah, she said she wanted to talk to her.

You know, about the whole running away thing.

But I know that she came back here later.

My mom saw her come in.

Right, Mother?

Yeah. Yeah, that's right.

Why didn't Jade tell me that?

I don't know.

I guess she swore not to say anything.

Thank you.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, Mrs. Cowan?

Yes. Do me a favor.

Don't come back to my house again.

Hey, Jade.

What is it?

Is everything okay?

Did Sarah call you?

No.

But I know where she is.

Where is she?

Jade, where is she?

Jade.

What are you doing here?

What's going on? She knows where Sarah is.

You do?

Jade?

Talk to me. Where's Sarah?

Where's Sarah?

Ashley killed her.

She killed her.

You're lying.

She's in a warehouse downtown 30 minutes from here. Oh, my God.

I'm sorry.

All right, get in the car.

Get in the car.

Lana, call the police.

Where is she? Where is she? Sarah!

Let me go!

Sarah!

Let me go!

Come on. Sarah!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

We've taken Jade into custody and she's been charged with Sarah's murder.

So what do we do now?

We'll be sending search teams to both Jade and Ashley's homes.

In the meantime, we'll be bringing Ashley in for questioning.

Jade isn't lying.

It was Ashley.

I know it was.

Where is she?

Where's Jade?

You son of a bitch.

Now you're the concerned father?

Where the hell is he when your daughter went out killing mine?

My girl was out there for two days alone and your daughter said nothing.

Nothing! Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I don't think it would be very fair to your wife to get charged with assault.

Not now.

Come on.

Mom? Hi.

You remember what we said?

Hi. Can I help you? Ms. Drahman? Yeah. I'm Detective Patty Gaines. I have a

warrant to search your house.

And I need to take your daughter in for questioning.

What?

Make sure you bring me any photos, any journals, anything that puts the two

girls together, okay? Detective.

Yeah. We found the hidden behind the desk in the back bedroom.

I didn't think everything you've done for Jade.

And then she... Not Jade.

Ashley.

So now you tell us Jade went out with Sarah.

Why didn't you tell us this before?

Jade asked me not to say anything.

She was afraid of getting in trouble.

You know, with Sarah's mom.

I just didn't want to butt in.

I mean, Jade was Sarah's friend.

Can you think of any reason why Jade would want to hurt Sarah if they were

good friends?

I don't know.

I mean, Jade was upset because of her dad and everything.

She did tell me that Sarah always thought that she was better than her.

Seriously, I wish I'd never even transferred to that school.

How do we know that you didn't go with Jade to meet up with Sarah?

Well, you can ask my mom.

I was home all night.

Can anybody else verify that?

No, but my mom wouldn't lie.

Well, I think that's enough questions.

Can I go home now? No, I'm afraid we're going to have to keep you here

overnight.

Why? Your attorney will explain everything.

Let's go, Ashley.

Well.

I'm sure there's something off about that kid.

Okay. All right, thanks.

Let us know what else you find.

I will.

That was Detective Gaines. The evidence came back.

They found the knife.

The blood was there.

I knew it.

I knew it was Ashley.

You should see that girl, Paul. Lana, they found the knife at Jade's, not

Ashley's.

That's not possible.

They also found Sarah's blood in Jade's car.

What about Ashley's house? Did they look there?

They found nothing.

Why do you think your friend would want to murder Sarah Cowan?

I don't know.

I mean, I can't imagine how anyone would do something like that.

Especially to their best friend.

Paul.

Yeah. Come here.

Take a look at this.

They let Ashley go.

What?

So what did you tell them?

What you told me? That you were here and Jade went out.

Well, it seems you finally did something, right?

What are you doing?

Buying myself a new pair of shoes.

The state of California has been rocked by the news of a local teen's arrest

accused of murdering her best friend, 17 -year -old Sarah Cowan. Initially

presumed a runaway, the victim was found in a downtown warehouse stabbed to

death Monday afternoon.

Earlier today, the teen entered a plea of not guilty.

Hey.

That looks like a new leopard kick.

Yeah.

Pretty hot.

Thanks.

Hey.

What do you want?

Easy.

I just want to know if it's true.

What's true?

That, uh, that you were involved with killing Sarah.

Why? What have you heard?

Just that Jade said that you did it, not her.

What's it to you?

Nothing.

I just think it'd be kind of cool to go to the dance with someone who, uh, is

all over the news.

Okay.

I'll go.

Just so you know, I'm not a suspect.

What's wrong with you, Ramirez?

You don't think you're having fun?

Maybe because I think this dance should have been canceled.

Out of respect for your class.

Maybe teach your kids some more.

Tina!

Hey. Hey.

This dance is sort of weak.

Yeah, they always are.

Do you want to go out back, have a drink?

Actually, I'm gonna go.

Hey.

Go.

I already told you.

Ashley was on that night.

Actually, you didn't tell me.

Ashley did.

As a mother who just lost her daughter and is desperately trying to find out

what happened.

I know you said Sarah had good manners.

But she was also warm and kind.

And she loved her family.

But if she ever hurt anyone, I would be the first person to step up and make

sure she took responsibility. No matter how much it hurt me or Sarah.

It's our job as mothers to make sure we raise good people.

how Ashley treated you and it's not going to stop and maybe you think you

but you only did if you don't tell the truth and stand up to her and be the

mother she needs

Whoa, what are you doing?

Hey, relax.

I'll get you home by curfew.

You bit me.

You're lucky that's all I did.

Did you?

Hey, go.

You're home early.

Because there's nothing better to do.

What's wrong with you?

What the

hell

are you doing?

Telling the truth.

I saw both you and Jade come home that night, not just Jade. You don't know

you saw. You were drunk. No. No, I know what I saw.

And I'm not lying. Not anymore.

Look at you.

You don't know anything.

Sitting here collecting your welfare checks, drinking your cheap wine.

Who's going to listen to you?

Huh?

No one.

Because you're not going to open that drunk mouth of yours to anyone.

Got it? Just like your father.

Self -entitled. None of them.

I am your mother, Ashley.

And I've had enough. You call yourself a mother?

Look at you. You're pathetic.

I should have put you out of your misery a long time ago.

Like you did that poor girl. Yeah, that's right. You like Sarah.

Poor sweet Sarah.

Such good manners she had.

But oh, so weak.

Having someone to die for. Hardly makes you strong. Shut up. It's over, Ashley.

Because as soon as I tell the police the truth... It's not over!

Because if you say anything... I swear... I'll kill you.

Just like I killed that stupid bitch, Sarah.

No, you won't.

Because your mother's right.

It's over, Ashley.

You set me up?

I heard every word.

Yeah, well, it's your word against mine.

No one's going to believe you anyway.

Get out of my house!

I heard it too.

You are under arrest for the murder of Sarah Cowan.

Tell them it wasn't me. Tell them!

Look, I didn't mean what I said, okay? I was just pissed at my mom. Mom!

Tell them it wasn't me, okay? Tell them it wasn't me! Why did you kill my little

girl?

Tell me.

I don't know.

You can't do that. She can't do that.

She can't do that. Mom. Anything you say. What kind of a cunt are you? Get

of me.

Get off.

Mom. You have a right to an attorney. Tell them the truth, Mom.

Mom. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. Tell them

the truth.

Mom, tell them the truth. Do you understand? Their lives are at risk.
