GIRL:
For almost a year and a half,

the North and South
have been killing each other

by the thousands.

Brother against brother,
sister against sister.

The country was torn apart

by bloodshed
and misunderstanding.

But what were
they fighting for?

Land? The idea of
staying together?

It seemed hopeless
and pointless,

and then, on
November 19, 1863,

Abraham Lincoln
went to Gettysburg

to give the
Gettysburg Address,

which forever
changed the conflict,

because he
gave everyone

an idea what the fighting
was about.

It was about slavery
and freedom

and the rights
of every man,
woman and child.

And that is the day
that changed America.

That was excellent,

Brandi. Well researched
and well presented.

Thank you, Mr. Carr.

Yeah, her mom probably
wrote the whole thing for her.

At least her mom doesn´t
work at the checkout
counter at the A&P.

Okay, next up
is Darren.

Uh, Mr. Carr?

Yes?

Can I go to the bathroom,
please?

Sure, Eric.

And don´t forget
to grab the hall pass.

Okay.

Hey, Eric.

Hey, Mr. Roscoe.

See you seventh period?

Uh, yeah, see you.

What happened here?

Well, there was a struggle.

The mirror got smashed.

Kid got lifted.

He´s 12 years old.
His name´s Eric Miller.

Looks like he resisted, huh?

He grabbed on to the wall
as he was being carried away.

Unless that´s
the kidnapper´s blood.

Well, forensics
is fast-tracking the analysis

so...

Tough job to pull off
in the middle of a school day.

Actually, there´s two exits
off that hallway.

They both spill directly
into the teacher´s parking lot.

Hmm.

Hall pass?
It´s been a while

since you seen
one of those, huh?

So, who found this mess?

One of the students,

ten minutes
after Eric excused himself

from history class.

Pretty small window
of opportunity.

Whoever did this...
was waiting for their chance.

Did you see anyone else
in the bathroom?

No.

No. How ´bout on the way out?
Was there anyone headed in?

No.

In the halls?

No.

Mr. Carr, was anything
out of the ordinary going on?

Anything bothering him today?

Not that I noticed, no.

Does he have any problems
with anyone in the class?

No. I mean, you
know how kids are.

They give it to
each other a bit,
but nothing serious.

He´s a really sweet kid.

Good student?

Mostly "C"s, but-but
he tries really hard.

Did he seem scared
about anything this morning?

No.

No?

What did Mr. Roscoe
have to say for himself?

Well, he didn´t see anything
out of the ordinary.

He said Eric seemed fine,

and he´d see him
in English class later.

What was he doing in
the students´ bathroom?

Well, he says
the janitor was cleaning

the teachers´ bathroom
at the time.

All right, check that
and his alibi afterwards.

We´re doing background checks
on all the teachers, too.

Okay. These are
the fingerprints

of all the school staff.

Have forensics

run them against the prints
found in the bathroom.

Okay. What about the parents?

Father works as a sporting goods
manager in Port Jeff,

and the mother works
as a paralegal in the city.

Not good candidates for ransom.

No. Apparently, the boy stopped

by the school psychologist´s
office this morning.

He wanted to talk.

What´d the psychologist say?
She´s out with the flu,

but I´m told he was pretty upset
she wasn´t there.

Maybe he knew something
was going

to happen to him.
Maybe.

WALTER:
Do you think it was someone
at the school, a teacher?

JACK:
Well, we´re still
in the preliminary stage

of our investigation, so we have
to consider every possibility.

Now, um...

It may not be obvious,

but on a gut level,
is there anyone

at the school--
a teacher, personnel--

that makes you feel nervous

or uncomfortable?
No.

What about outside the school--

Little League, markets?
Don´t you think

I would´ve told
you already.

Don´t you think
I would´ve

protected him
if I did think that?

Karen.

I´m sorry.

It´s fine.

Was there any conflict

with any other kids
at school?

No. Nothing serious.

Any unusual behavior from Eric?

Has he been withdrawn, moody?

He´s very moody.

When we try to get
him to talk about
things, he either

clams up or he bites
our heads off.

Do you think he´s involved
with drugs?

No.

Is there any indication
that he was under duress

or afraid of something?

There was something yesterday.

And what was that?

I was going to take him
to get a new computer.

He was supposed to be
home right after school.

He walked in the door at 6:00
and had no explanation.

Eric? Where have you been?

Uh... nowhere.

What do you
mean, nowhere?

We´ve been
calling all over

looking for you.
I was with Darren.

We called Darren´s.

He said he didn´t
know where you were.

Did you forget
we made a plan?

Oh, I´m sorry.
You realize

I took off work
early to take you

for a new computer
that you asked for?

Yeah, I know.
It doesn´t seem

very considerate,
does it?

No.

So, where were you?

I was at the arcade.

Is that how you got
your brand-new shirt

so filthy?

I played football
at lunch today.

Well, go upstairs
and change

and get ready
for dinner.
Okay.

I´m sorry.

I don´t know.

We figured it was just Eric
being a kid.

Have you

washed that shirt yet?

No, it´s in the laundry room.

Would you mind getting it
for me?

Sure.

Thank you.

I understand that, uh...

your son sees
the school psychologist.

Yeah, uh... it´s Karen´s idea.

I´m not necessarily a fan of
making him more self-conscious.

Why do you think your wife
wants your son to see

the psychologist?

He´s very bright, but he gets
mostly "C"s, and, uh...

we always... have felt
that he´s underachieved.

Plus, the moods.

Has it helped?
I don´t know.

I mean, we-we even
took him to an
outside specialist,

you know, somebody
the school recommended.

The specialist meets with him
for an hour and a half,

then starts talking about this
syndrome and that syndrome...

and he wants to put him
on Ritalin.

Karen wanted to do
it, and I said no.

Half the kids in that school are
popping some kind of pills...

and I don´t want to...

I don´t want him to think

there´s something wrong
with him, you know?

I can´t find the shirt, uh...
I´m going to check upstairs.

Thanks.

Walter?

So what if he gets "C"s?

I just want him back.

( sobs )

Have you seen this kid?

I´m told he hangs out here
quite a bit.

Yeah, sure.
He comes in here all the time.

Did you happen to see him
yesterday?

I don´t think so.

Have you seen him
at all recently?

Maybe a couple days ago.

Anything out of the ordinary?

No.
You ever see

any adults hanging around
with him?

What´s this all about?

We believe he was kidnapped
this morning.

You been here all day today?

Since 8:00 this morning. Why?

I´m going to need to see
your surveillance tapes

as far back as they go.

Faculty bathroom was being
cleaned this morning,

and Roscoe´s alibi checks out.

Three teachers saw him

in the lounge at 9:15.

Martin says that
Eric wasn´t at the
arcade yesterday,

in which case he
lied to his parents.

Anything from the
psychologist yet?

She´s on her way in.

I want to go and talk
to some of his friends.

Maybe somebody
knows where he was

yesterday afternoon.
All right.

Eric´s afraid of a lot
of things,

like most of these kids,
but he never

talked about
anyone harming him physically.

Are there any men in his life--
uh, teachers, coaches--

who-who have an unusually close

relationship
with him?

I haven´t seen any evidence

to suggest
that Eric´s been abused,

although he certainly

has a very deep feeling
of inferiority.

I´m a loser.

Why do you say that, Eric?

Because it´s true.

You see.

I don´t see you
as a loser.

No. You see how it is.

Every day at lunch,
I sit with Darren and Ivan,

and we´re the losers.

Billy and Nat and those guys--

they´re the cool ones.

And who decides

who´s cool and who´s not?

I don´t know.

That´s just the way it is.

Have you always thought
that you were a loser?

No.

I can´t remember.

So,

you don´t know when it started?

No.

Well, maybe fifth grade.

Well, what happened
in fifth grade?

I didn´t get invited

to Tommy Hemrich´s
birthday party.

And that´s when you knew?

Yeah, I guess.

So now,

if you were invited
to a good party,

would that mean
you weren´t a loser

anymore?

No.

Why not?

I don´t know.

It seems like it´s pretty hard

to get out of being a loser
once you´re in it.

Do you talk to
your parents
about this?

Why not?

They just want
to put me on drugs.

Eric, that´s not true...

I heard them arguing
about it, okay?

That´s all they ever do,
is argue about me.

Eric, they´re...

Look, I don´t want to talk
about this anymore, okay?

Is there a problem at home?

No.

It´s always easy to jump
to the parents, but there´s

no evidence of that.

And you recommend that he see

an outside specialist?

I didn´t think

he needed it, necessarily,

but his mother
was very concerned about him.

Are you concerned about him?

It´s a tough age
for all these kids.

They´re all struggling
to find their place.

One of the things these kids

all have in common,
even the popular ones,

is they don´t want
their parents to know

where they are
in the social order,

which leaves them
feeling very alone.

Right.

I know who did it.

You do?

If I tell you,
you have to promise

not to say it was me who told.

Sure, Darren,
of course.

Yeah. It was Billy Hopkins
and those guys.

Is this Billy someone
in your class?

No, no.
He´s in the eighth grade.

He´s always picking on us,
especially Eric.

Picking on you how?

I don´t know.

Talking trash on the bus,
in the locker room.

Did you see Billy
at school today?

You know what?

I don´t think he´s here.

He could have been waiting
for Eric

in the bathroom or something.

All right, hold on a minute.

Has Billy
ever been

violent towards Eric?

I mean,
beyond just talking trash?

That´s what
I´m trying to tell you.

Last week he got us
in that same bathroom.

So Brandi was over
at your house yesterday?

Yeah.

Well, did you
talk to her?

No, she just goes up
to my sister´s room,

and they hang out up there.

Man, she is so hot.

Who´s hot?

Your mama?

I said who´s hot, Shrimpy?
Your mama?

No.

Your mama.

Oh, really?

Time for a swirling.

Hey!

No.

On your knees.

You like water, huh?

You like water?

Stop!

Find out, huh?

Huh?

You like that,

huh?

You like that?

You want a little bit more?

No, no!
Want a little bit more,
huh, punk?

( groans )

Tough guy.

Throw him in there.

Better tell
your friend to
watch his mouth.

There´s a lot more
where that came from.

Why didn´t you
tell anybody

about this?

´Cause it only makes it worse.

Worse how?

Last year Richie Arwell told one
of his teachers

that he was having
his lunch money

taken away by Manny Revis

and his friends.

They called Manny´s parents
and everything,

and then everybody got on Richie
for being a snitch.

Nobody would eat with him
at lunch.

It was like nobody even talked
to him for the rest of the year.

He ended up

dropping out of school
or moving or something.

I can´t believe how much time
these kids waste

talking to each other
on the computer.

What do you got there,
Eric´s e-mails?

Uh, e-mails,
instant messages.

Mind you, this is
just one week´s worth.

Anything interesting?

Well, apparently,
he hates this kid

Billy, but looks up to him
at the same time. I mean...

It´s weird how that works,
isn´t it?

Yeah.

So what about,
uh, Web sites,

chat rooms--
anything pop?

Nothing so far.

I´ll tell you,
when I was this age,

my parents never had to worry
about me being exposed

to these predators
on the Internet.

I was too busy playing football
in my neighbor´s yard.

Yeah. When I was his age,

I was, uh,
just trying to stay out of jail.

I mean, football would have
been nice, but...

Hey, here we go.

There´s Eric.

Whoa. Okay, when´s this from,
yesterday?

No, he wasn´t there yesterday.

This is the day before.

Oh. Is this Billy?

No, it´s someone else.

Why´s this poor kid
have so many enemies?

We want you
to watch this

and see if you
recognize the boy.

Okay.

That´s Frank Potter,
Lisa´s brother.

Who´s Lisa Potter?

A girl in our English class.

Do you know
what school Frank goes to?

Um, I think JFK.

Thank you, Darren.

You can go back
to your class now.

I´ll walk you back,
okay, Darren?

Okay. Bye.

Thank you, Mrs. Johnson.

Okay, bye, Darren.

Thank you.

DANNY:
The cops found
him at home

watching TV
and drinking a beer.

Where were
his parents?

His dad split town

a couple of years ago;
his mom´s

been at work all day.

She left the house at 7:00 a.m.,

and Billy was still there.

He´s got no alibi.

What about his
little buddies?

In class
from 9:00 to 9:30.

I don´t think he takes
Eric without his backup.

Well, maybe he and this
Frank kid did it together.

Maybe.

I´m going to talk to tough guy
in there and his mommy.

All right.

Mrs. Hopkins.

Mom.

It´s okay, Billy.

He just wants to ask
you a few questions,

then I´ll take
you home.

I heard
you weren´t feeling well today.

I´m fine.

Good.

I guess you heard
what happened to Eric Miller?

Yeah.

Any ideas
about who may have taken him?

Nah.

I heard you liked

to smack him around sometimes.

I heard that
you beat him up

in the same bathroom last week.

That wasn´t anything.

That wasn´t anything?

He almost drowned.

Who told you that?

Darren?
No, your friends

who were with you.

You know Frank Potter?

Lisa Potter´s brother.

Right.

Apparently, he likes
to slap Eric around, too.

Okay.

I didn´t know that.

I was told that you had
a special surprise for Eric

today.

They told you that?

Yeah, they told me that.

They told me they didn´t want
to be involved in it.

So I figured maybe you
and Potter got together.

It´s not true, Mom.

I swear,

it´s not true.
Listen, I went to school,

okay?

I get it.

We used to beat the crap out
of each other.

It´s part of growing up.

Now if you´re just pulling

some kind of prank
on Eric Miller,

I´m not going to send you
to prison.

But if you look me in the eye,
and you lie to me,

I´m going to take you downstairs
to the lockup and give you

a glimpse into your future

that you´re never going
to forget, you understand?

I swear,
I don´t know where he is.

Have you seen
this guy?

His name´s
Frank Potter.

Viv, I´ve got him.

He´s coming your way.

Where you going, Frank?

What are you...?

What are you
looking for me for?

I don´t have
anything to do

with what happened to Eric.

What did happen to Eric?
I don´t know.

I heard he got kidnapped
from school or something.

That´s right.
You had a big problem with him.

Didn´t you?
No.

Oh, come on, Frank.

We saw the videotape.

We know you
got into it

with Eric a
couple days ago.

He was hassling my sister.

How?

He called her a dog.

That´s it?

Well, I found her in her room

crying, and she told me

he called her a dog,

and I told her
I´d take care of it.

Hey, buddy,
can I talk to you a minute?

Uh, I´m just
starting this game.

That´s all right.

Do you think it´s funny
harassing girls?

What are you
talking about?

My sister--
you called her a dog.

You think that´s cool?

That´s not cool, man.
I didn´t mean to...

Didn´t mean to what?

Be a total jerk-off?

You even look at her funny,

and I will come back
and bash your face in.

Got it?

I´m sorry.

I don´t care about sorry.

Just stay the hell away
from her.

Okay.

That was it.
I haven´t seen him since.

And now he´s missing,

and you´re out of school
in the middle

of the day.

No, man.
I had school this morning.

I just had the last
two periods off,

so I got out early
and came here.

Right.

We´ll see.

Let´s go... man.

When did this happen?

On Monday.

This Monday,
three days ago?

Do you want to tell me
what happened?

Do I have to?

Yeah, you have to.

It was right
before English class.

Hey, dog.

What´s that?

I said,

hey, dog.

Hey.

Are you a dog?

Come on, you don´t know
if you´re a dog?

Even a dog knows

he´s a dog.

I don´t know what

you´re talking about.

I said, "Hey, dog,"

and you said, "Hey."

I guess that means

you´re a dog.

Here you go then.

ROSCOE:
Sorry I´m late.

Let´s open up your
books to page 312

and let´s
get started.

He only did it
to show off for Brandi.

I guess he thought
it would be funny to her.

Did Mr. Roscoe
see any of this?

Don´t think so.

He didn´t
say anything.

Did you say anything
to Mr. Roscoe?

No.

Why not?

Why would I?

Hey. We just got
forensics back

on the blood

from the bathroom.

It was Eric Miller´s.

That doesn´t
help us.
I know.

I just got off the phone
with the high school.

Frank´s story
checks out.

He was in all
of his classes
today, got out

early, just
like he said.

Hmm.

You know, maybe
Lisa wasn´t the only one

Eric was giving a hard time.

Even so,

Eric doesn´t sound
like a violent kid.

No.

I mean it´s pretty petty stuff
to inspire kidnapping.

Hmm.

Incredible.

Eric never said a word
about anything

that was going on at school.

Not to his teachers,
not to his parents,

not to the child
psychologist
at the school,

no one.

Yeah, well,

I think he was about to.

What is that?

It´s a creative writing paper
he was working on.

He was supposed to hand it in

next week.

It´s called "Doomsday."

Don´t tell me
he was planning

to blow up the school.

No, Doomsday is what he calls
the day he was born.

Wow.

That´s a cry for help.

Yeah.

He´s a really good writer.

There are all these
great images.

The girl he´s in love with--
she rides

a white horse,
and she wears a pink helmet.

And-And he´s this prince

that-that drives a Ferrari
and saves her

when she´s attacked
in the forest.

Who´s attacking her?

It´s hard to tell.

He just calls them wild beast.

But-But when he saves her,
that´s what redeems him.

MARTIN:
Hey, you guys got a second?

You´re going to want
to see this.

All right, go ahead
and show it to them.

This is off of
Billy Hopkins´
home computer.

It was sent
to him a couple

of hours ago
from the school

computer lab by Lisa Potter.

Lisa?

That´s the girl
that Eric called a dog?

Yeah.

What do you
know about this?

I have no idea.
Really?

It was on your computer.

Lisa Potter
sent it to you.

There was a written
e-mail message.

"Thought you might find
this interesting."

Now, why would
she think that?

I don´t know.

Billy, enough
is enough.

You stop lying,

and you tell her
what she wants to know.

I swear, Mom, I saw the picture,
but I didn´t know what it was.

Was there something
going on

between Eric and Lisa?

I don´t know.

We know that he called her
a dog.

We also know that she
got this picture of him

and she sent it around
to everyone.

Oh, wait.

A couple of days ago
in the locker room,

he was asking
these weird questions.

Hey, dawg, what´s up?

I heard you and Amy

were getting busy

underneath the bleachers
last night.

More under her skirt
than under the bleachers.

That must have
been sweet.

What are you looking at?

Well, I heard that, you know,
she gave you a hummer.

Yeah, maybe.

Cool.

Yeah, I´ll see you
out there.

Hey, uh,

can I ask you something?

Yeah, man, whatever.

Well, if you like a girl...

"Like a girl"?

I don´t know.

You want to get in her pants,
or something...

Yeah?

Well, what do you do?

Look, man,
you can´t be such a wimp.

I´m not a wimp.

Sure you are.
Why you think

we stick your head
in the toilet?

So... I have to be tough?

I don´t know. Just act cool.

Look, I got to go.

Okay, thanks.

That´s why he called her a dog.

He must like her.

I don´t know where I got it.

Come on, Lisa.

I have two daughters

of my own about your age,

and I know when
they´re lying to me,

and you are lying
to me right now.

Lisa, we know
what he did

must have hurt you,
and you wanted to get him back,

but you have
got to tell us

where this picture

was taken and where he is.

I don´t know where it was taken.

Somebody gave me the picture,
and I sent it.

Who gave it to you?

I can´t say.
Why can´t you say?

Because if I tell,
they´ll all hate me.

Who´s going to hate you?

The popular girls.

So, one of the popular girls
gave you this photo?

Which popular girl
gave you the photo?

They told me
to send it to the boys.

Just tell me

where the photo was taken.

I don´t know.

They gave it to me.

That´s all I know.

Listen to me, Lisa.

If anything happens to Eric,
if he gets killed or hurt,

I´m going to hold you
personally responsible.

Now, in order for me
to find him and help him,

I need to know
who gave you that picture,

or where it was taken.

This is not open for debate.

It was Emily Levine.

Emily Levine--
she gave it to me.

That´s Darren´s twin sister.

Thank you.

Sam, we got forensics back
on Eric´s shirt.

They found horse manure
and equine feed on it.

Stable?

Come on. There aren´t
any stables in Queens.

Are there?

Every stall in this
barn has a pipe
just like this one.

This picture
was taken here.

Yeah, well, he´s
not here. Come on.

I don´t know
what Lisa is talking about.

But I´ve never
seen this picture
before in my life.

Well, why would
she lie, Emily?

Because she´s a loser.

Emily!

Well, she is.

That´s right.

She´s a loser

and you´re one
of the more popular girls.

So why would she lie

and say she gave you the picture

when she knows
it´s only going to create

a living hell for her

with you
and your friends.

Now, wait a minute.

My daughter
doesn´t behave

that way with other girls.

We taught her that,
and we don´t tolerate it.

With all due respect,
Mr. Levine

I try to teach my daughters
a lot of things,

but they still seem to do
what they want,

especially when I´m not there
to watch them.

Emily and Eric have known
each other since second grade.

Darren and Eric

are best friends.

If Emily knew anything
about where Eric was,

she would tell us.

Wouldn´t you?
Of course.

I think this is over.

She said she
doesn´t know.

The beautiful girl

with the pink helmet.

Do you know something
about this photo?

That picture was taken here.

Whatever it is,
you don´t need
to be afraid,

but I want you
to tell the truth.

Was it taken this
morning, Brandi?

No.

Yesterday.

How do you know that?

Because I was here
when it was taken.

Oh, Brandi.

It was Emily´s idea, not mine.

We just wanted to teach him
a lesson.

A lesson for what?

For being mean to Lisa.

Lisa? You and Lisa
aren´t even friends.

Well, that doesn´t matter,
does it?

Eric was an easy target,
and now you had

a good excuse to
have some fun. Right?

He called her a dog.

It wasn´t right.

So this was revenge?

Brandi,

it´s time you tell us
exactly what happened, okay?

All right.

I told him to meet me here
after school...

for a date.

I said that I wanted
to fool around,

but that I was embarrassed.

So I told him to take off
his clothes

and I´d come back in a minute.

Uh, Brandi? I´m ready.

I´ll be right there.

Okay, now I want
to do something to you.

Okay.

I want to tie you up.

Tie me up?

Yeah, sure.

Haven´t you ever seen a porno?

Uh, yeah.

Then lie on the ground.

Okay.

Put your arms
over your head.

Ow.

I´m sorry. Did that hurt?

No, it´s okay.

Now try to get free.

I can´t.

Okay, now we´re going
to have some fun.

Girls!

Look who´s a dog now.

Emily?

Loser.

Come on, girls.
Let´s have a little fun.

Come on.

Loser!

Loser! I can´t believe
you did that!

That is so weird!

How could you do that?!

( all chanting ):
Loser! Loser! Loser!

Loser! Loser! Loser!

Loser! Loser!

Loser!

( all taunting )

Smile for the camera!

( taunting continues )

Who´s the dog now?

Who´s a dog now, mister?

( all exclaiming )

BRANDI:
Lisa took the picture,

but I never thought that
they would show it to anybody.

I don´t know why Emily
told her to send it around.

How long
did the whole thing last?

I don´t know.

Maybe an hour.

Then we got bored.

You got bored.

So you untied him,
and you let him go.

Well, we untied him,
but he didn´t really move.

We tried getting him up,

but he just rolled over
and wouldn´t look at us.

I was getting kind of worried,

but it was getting dark,
so we took off.

Then I saw him

this morning in class.

He seemed okay.

I´m sure he was perfect.

Mrs. Case, I
suggest you take
your daughter home

and you have a nice, long
conversation with her.

Believe me. We will.

DANNY:
I just don´t get these kids.

They got everything--

good school,
parents that love them

and then they do this
to each other.

It´s like...

Well, it´s not
a fun age.

Yeah, right.

I bet you were
the Queen Bee.

Oddly enough, I was
one of the geeks,

not that that
stopped me

from picking on kids
that were geekier
than I was.

Why? I mean, why do kids
do that to each other?

I don´t know.

Look, here´s the thing.

I know girls. Okay?

What those girls did
to Eric yesterday--

that was the master plan.

No way they were coming back
with something else today.

I know it.
Well, somebody attacked him

in that bathroom,
and we don´t have
a damn lead.

All we know is that
that kid was going through

the worst 24 hours
of his life...

Wait a second.
Wait a second.

That´s it.

What?

That´s it. That´s it.

What if no one attacked
him in the bathroom?

What, you think he broke
the mirror himself?

Think about this for a second.
Okay?

He´s been picked on for months.

He feels like the biggest loser
in the world already,

then this happens.

Then he´s got to go
into that classroom,

face those girls,
look at them in the eyes

while they laugh at him.

Then, he walks into the bathroom
and he looks at himself.

If I was him I´d want to break
that mirror, too.

Okay, okay, but how about
the bloody handprint?

Cuts his hand on
the mirror, wipes
it on the wall.

Let´s say you´re right.

It´s getting dark.

I mean, where the hell
has he been?

More importantly,

where is he now?

Trying to figure out
how to hurt somebody?

Or himself.

Darren, do you know
what your sister

and her friends did to Eric
yesterday?

No, what´d they do?

So he didn´t talk to you

about it?

Darren?

You tell Mrs. Johnson right now.

This is not a game.

I saw him this afternoon
after school.

Where? When?

I don´t know, about 3:00
in the alley behind Gino´s.

I was walking home,
and that´s where I saw him.

Eric?

What are you doing here?

Everybody thinks
you were kidnapped.

Like anyone cares.

The police and FBI
were at the school.

Yeah, so?

So you should go home.

Why?

I saw that picture of you.

What was that?

What are you talking about?

The picture of you

without
your clothes on?

You saw that?

Yeah, it´s all around
the school.

What?

Somebody
e-mailed it around.

Eric, what´s going on?

Don´t tell anyone where I am.

Don´t tell anyone
you saw me.

Eric!

Just don´t tell
anyone, okay?
Eric!

Just don´t tell anyone, okay?
Eric!

Just don´t tell anyone!

VIVIAN:
So, he didn´t tell you
where he was going

or what he was going
to do?

No, I swear.

JACK:
You lied to me.

Yes.

What did Eric
say to you today?

Nothing.

He barely even looked at us.

No, I´m sure he didn´t.

I never meant for it
to get this bad.

What did you think
was going to happen?

I don´t know.

You´re the one that made Lisa
put those pictures out, right?

They tell me this whole thing
was your idea. Is that true?

I don´t understand, Emily.

How could you do this?

I always thought you liked Eric.

I think that´s the point,

Mrs. Levine.

I think Eric liked Brandi more.

( sniffles )

I´m sorry.

I´m so sorry.

Do you have any idea
where Eric might be

right now?

No.

MRS. MILLER:
I can´t believe
he wouldn´t tell us any of this.

Why wouldn´t he tell us?

Well, he was probably
very ashamed.

Ashamed? He doesn´t have
to be ashamed with us.

Mrs. Miller,

I need to ask you
guys a question.

Does Eric have access to a gun?

No. God, no.

Do you think he´s capable
of hurting someone?

No, no.

He´s not that kind of kid.

He wouldn´t hurt anybody.

How about himself?

( phone ringing )

( ringing )

Hello? Eric?

Eric.

( sobbing )

Eric?

Eric, where are you?
( sobbing )

Honey, are you all right?

( sniffling )

Sweetheart, talk to me.

Just... just...

just talk to me.

Baby, please come home.
( sobbing )

Eric! Eric!

Sweetheart, just come home.

Baby, just...

just-just come home.

Eric? Eric?

He´s at a pay phone--
124th and Davis.

Don´t worry.
I´m going to find him, okay?

( line ringing )

( phone ringing )

Hello?

ERIC:
Darren?

Eric, where are you?

You didn´t tell them

you saw me, did you?

Just keep him talking.
Keep him on the phone.

No, you told me not to say
anything, so I didn´t.

I´m going to kill myself.

No, no, no, Eric.

Don´t be stupid.

Good-bye, Darren.

He says he´s going
to kill himself.

Eric!

Eric! Eric!

There´s no sign of him, Jack.

Just keep looking.

Okay, if you wanted
to show everyone

how bad they´d been, where
would you go, school?

No, we have patrols there.

Let´s see, what about, um,
you know, what´s-her-name.

The, um, the Potter girl? Lisa?

I mean, she´s the one
who started it.

She took the pictures.
She sent it to everyone.

Nope, Lisa lives on
the other side of town.

Also, I don´t think
he´s into her.

I just...
Then who?

The queen bee.

Brandi Case.

She´s the one
who broke his heart.

I got it right here.

She´s at 126th.

That´s two blocks
from the pay phone.

( sirens blaring )

( tires screeching )

You guys take the front door.

Danny, come with me.

You called her a dog.

( Eric gasping )

We got you.
( gasping )

Okay.

We got you.

You all right?

You all right?
Huh?
( gasping )

Send the paramedics
to the back of the house.

Just breathe, breathe, breathe.

( gasps, coughs )

Come on.
Look into my eyes.

Look into my eyes.

Come on, now, breathe.

Deep breaths.
Come on.

Deep breaths.

Breathe with me.

( gasping )

Just breathe
deep breaths.

( indistinct radio
transmission )

( sobbing ):
Oh, my sweet angel.

Sweet angel,

I´m so sorry.

I´m sorry.

I don´t want to go back
to that school.

MR. MILLER:
You don´t have to.

( sniffles ):
Okay?

Thanks.
