- Good afternoon, everyone.

- [All] Good afternoon, Dee.

- I'd like to welcome our new resident to the family.

Roy, I'm looking forward to working with you,

and I hope we can make a real difference in your life.

Thank you family.

- [All] Thank you, Dee.

- All right, listen up.

Now that we're on summer break,

we have lots of work to do to get the house back in shape.

Remember, this is your home.

So give it the love and attention it deserves.

Any questions about chores?

Then let's get to it.

Monica and Theresa can adjourn, thank you family.

- Thank you, Daryl.

(screaming metal music)

(door clicks)

(screaming metal music continues)

- Checking on chores.

(door creaks)

It's no good, do it over.

- What are you talking about?

- It's not good enough.

Daryl likes things to sparkle.

- Yeah, well things are sparkling.

- That ain't acceptable, man.

- Nobody can see under there.

- I can.

- So who are you?

- I'm the DM, your discipline monitor.

That means you obey my reasonable requests

or I can give you consequences.

- That's bullshit.

(scoffs)

- That's bullshit, huh?

Disrespecting peer authority

Failure to follow staff direction,

provoking attitude, foul language.

Get the idea?

- That's fucked up

- That's life.

Get back to work.

(door clicks)

(drawer slams)

(door slams)

(pages shuffle)

(electric guitar music)

(horror piano sting)

- Roy, what are you doing out here?

- I just needed some space.

- You didn't ask permission.

- I need permission to sit in the backyard?

- Until you knew our system,

you'd better ask permission for everything.

And never go outside without Dee

or me knowing where you are.

Otherwise it's an AWOL contract

and threatens your placement.

Do you understand?

- Look, I just needed-

- Do you understand what I'm saying?

- Yeah.

(items clatter)

(electric guitar music)

Fuck this place.

- What happened?

- Daryl, he's a (beep).

He treats me like a two year old.

- He's into power tripping, all right.

But what do you expect

when the guy was in 'Nam for 10 years?

- Yeah, well not one of his stupid soldiers.

- You're gonna have to get used to it.

I mean, he's not such a bad guy once you get to know him

- I don't want to get to know him.

I just want to get the fuck outta here.

- Don't think like that, man.

It's gonna make time go much slower.

- And what's his trip anyway?

- Well, you see, I heard that he was a real screw up

until he joined the army,

then he learned all about rules, discipline,

and shit like that.

You know, got his act together.

I guess he thinks it's gonna work for us too.

- So he wants to save our souls.

- Hey, you know, it could be a lot worse.

At least the guy's heart's in the right place.

- Failure to follow staff directions,

throwing an object, and having a negative attitude.

What's up Keisha, what happened?

- I got some bad news about my son.

- [Kevin] He all right?

- Well, my sister gone moved to Texas

and she taken Ricky with her.

I'm not going to see my baby for a long time.

- [Kevin] Sorry.

Look, Keisha what's going to be your retribution?

- I don't care.

Dishes, hallways, windows, whatever.

- [Kevin] Do we agree?

- [Girl] Yeah, it's cool.

- Roy.

Noncompliance of structure, failure to complete chores,

disrespecting peer authority.

You know how the system works?

- I told him all about it.

- You got to choose your own punishment man.

- Well, I didn't do anything wrong.

- Ain't no fighting the bookings, just choose your chores.

- But I didn't do anything wrong.

- Are you refusing to abide by family rules?

- I'm refusing to say I'm guilty when I'm not.

- You wouldn't be here unless you were guilty.

That's not what this is about.

Either you're a member of this family or you're not.

- That's a joke.

(all muttering)

- Do you want to go back to the hall?

- Oh, so that's my choice?

Roll over and kiss your ass, or go back to the hall?

- Go to your room, Roy.

Go.

Take some time, cool down.

(door squeaks)

(door slams)

- [Boy] Fool's crazy.

(light knocking)

- Can I talk to you?

- Come in.

(door squeaks)

- Close the door.

- Oh I can't, it's against the rules.

But I have permission to be here.

I'm supposed to represent you at your initiation.

- What?

- They're going to have an initiation

to see if you're appropriate for this house,

and I've volunteered to be your support.

See, what happens is they have this big dinner

and while everyone eats asks you a bunch of questions.

It's kind of like a trial, you know,

to see if you'll fit into our family.

And we call it the initiation.

- Yeah and what if I don't want to do it?

- Well, you don't have a choice.

- [Roy] What happens?

- Then you won't be able to stay.

- Yeah, I'll show you guys how to barbecue, all right?

This is what separates the men from the boys.

(all laughing)

- What're you talking about?

- I've had all kind of picnics at the house Daryl.

I didn't flip major meat.

He said major meat, you hear that?

(all laughing)

- I am not talking about a picnic here.

I'm talking about a barbecue.

- I'll tell you what I let you listen to a man.

I'll show you how to really barbecue.

- Look Lucky, it is not the time yet.

Step away, let a real man show you how it's done,

thank you very much.

(all muttering)

- We know you, man,

- Oh, no I can't take that.

- Oh, ash on a bun, yum, yum.

- This Mesquite, right?

- I'm not dealing with E. Coli.

- There you go, see?

- Hey Laura, come here Laura.

Ladies first.

- Thanks.

(teens chattering quietly)

(clapping)

- Good evening family.

Before we get started, I'd like to say

a few words about the initiation.

I want you all to remember

what it was like when you went through it.

You were new, you didn't know anybody.

And suddenly you were put in a situation

where you had to answer

a lot of tough questions about yourselves.

It took a lot of courage.

So let's keep that in mind.

- I got a question for you.

Okay, here's the situation.

Family Day, happens once a month around here.

As usual, my grandmother's the first to arrive.

Like she does every other time,

she checks to make sure I'm not around,

then she grabs whoever's first to walk by.

Let's say it's your break time.

And you're rushing, trying to get out of the kitchen

away from other work.

But when you see her, she won't let you go.

Here's the challenge, Roy.

This is what I want to know.

Would you give up your break time,

help her do what she wants?

(food crunching)

Or would you leave first chance you got?

- I don't get it, what does she want me to do?

- She's my grandmother, Roy.

If she wants your help, isn't that enough?

- I don't know.

She sounds pretty weird to me.

- [Teen] Damn!

- It's called respect, Roy.

You ever heard of that?

What if it was your family and now disrespected them?

Would that make a difference?

- Let's just leave them out of it okay?

- No, it's an important question.

I want you to answer it.

- Well, I don't think my family is any of your business.

- I think they are.

Isn't he supposed to ask our questions?

- Talking about our families is part of the program, Roy.

It's not easy, but you need to do it.

- Come on, just tell them what they want to hear.

- This is bullshit, I'm not gonna, I don't want to play.

- [Laura] Please, Roy?

- Ever heard the term, image breaking, Roy?

Is what they do in military boot camps,

breaking down the recruits' old civilian image

and replacing it with a soldier.

We do things a little differently around here,

but it's basically the same idea.

Suddenly you have to face up to who you are

before we can change what doesn't work.

Are you ready for a real challenge, Roy?

Can I get a couple of volunteers to get the mirror?

- Me!

- Aw, he's going to get it.

- Oh, man.

- Please stand facing the mirror.

Straight in front, Roy.

All right.

Look at that person in the mirror.

Can you tell us who he is?

- He's Roy.

- I can't hear you.

- He's Roy.

- Describe Roy to us.

- He's got Brown hair, blue eyes, white skin, some pimples.

- That is good.

That's who he is on the outside.

Now, tell us who he is on the inside.

- I don't know what you mean.

- Look at him, Roy.

You described his outer features,

now describe his inner ones.

Look into his eyes and tell us what you see.

- Nervous.

- I can't hear you.

- Nervous. - What else?

- I don't know.

- Need some help?

Can anyone to help Roy?

- He's scared.

- Well, if you agree with her, then tell him.

- You're scared.

- Anything else?

- He's angry.

- You're angry. - I can't hear you.

- He's angry.

- He be looking suspicious to me.

- He suspicious.

- He's courageous.

- He's courageous.

- He's just a wild and crazy guy.

(Roy chuckles)

- He's a wild and crazy guy.

- All right, good.

Now that's what we expect from you

while you live in this house

straight up honesty, even if it's hard.

(all clapping)

(breaking glasses)

(Roy sighs)

- Hi. - Hi.

- You got a minute.

- Yeah.

- I wanted to tell you something.

You know the real reason I'm staying.

It's because of you.

(teens chattering)

- They are going to AA.

- [Announcer] All over to the AA.

All over to the AA, now!

- Want to continue some other time.

- The next thing I remember, I'm lying in a pool of blood.

Mine in the back of an ambulance.

Blood is pouring in my eyes and my mouth.

I remember spitting up so much blood

they keep telling me to knock it off.

When I was sewn up in semi-auto shock

I started screaming the pain from having your face bashed

and kicked in is brutal.

And the morphine didn't help.

Like any drug that wears off.

I got up, I went into the bathroom

in the mirror with some months it looked like it came

from a bad slasher flick.

And that was the last day I drank.

The DTS, the shakes, the itching,

all at other and other story.

But I'm telling you,

it's such a tough gamble to drink and do drugs.

You always lose.

And that's all I have to say.

So I want to hear from you.

What's your drug of choice?

- I use crack a couple of times.

I liked it.

- Ecstasy.

- Spirit.

- Yeah spirit (laughs).

- Marijuana's cool.

- Sometimes I drink.

- LSD.

- All of them, man.

I like them all.

(all laughing)

- You.

- I like the bud because it makes you laugh.

Makes you happy and relaxed and it doesn't turn you

into an addict or a bad side effects like those other drugs.

- Yo, Steve man, that's not true.

It makes me feel stupid and tired.

- You are stupid and tired.

(all laughing)

- Why do you use LSD?

- Cause LSD is the only drug, that's not an escape.

Makes you see things in a new way without all the BS

that expands your mind.

- Do you mean it makes you crazy.

That's why people would be jumping out of windows.

Thinking they could fly like Jordan, maybe.

Hell are we here?

(laughing)

- All right, let's talk about why people stopped using.

Why did you quit?

- I quit for my baby.

- You?

- Because I'm in here.

And if we get caught, Daryl will send us to the Hall.

- You still want to use after all that's happened?

Haven't you learned anything from this program?

- Yeah, I learned from my mistake

next time I won't get caught.

(all laughing)

- Wake up people.

Come on don't you care?

Don't you care about being locked up.

Don't you care about the consequences.

- I'll tell you what I care about.

I was stuck in here and all the drugs is out there.

(all laughing)

(teens chattering)

(inaudible)

Don't piss like that cause you know fuck.

- Dude, I got something I wanna tell you.

- What?

- Lets go to my room.

(electric guitar music) (pigeon cooing)

I got inspired listening to everyone in AA.

I think I know how to get some acid into the house.

- How? - Right there.

(Roy laughs)

No, no I mean it it's a carrier

and it's ready to fly to my house

and I can have my brother tie some blotter paper to its leg

and then it'll fly back here.

Daryl is not gonna search a pigeon.

- Are you serious?

- Oh yeah.

- Steve, you're a genius.

Let's do it.

- It'll take a few days to set it up,

I have to call my brother first.

(fast electric guitar) (pigeon cooing)

(soft background music)

- Hey can I talk to you for a minute?

- Yeah, what about?

- I want to spend some time with Laura alone

and I wanted to know if you could help me out.

(background music continues)

- Anything with keeping in that.

Are you going to have sex with her?

- I don't know, maybe.

- That is breaking a Cardinal rule.

You just have no idea, do you?

Daryl catches you and you're gone, no questions asked.

- Well, that's why I was asking you.

I was hoping you could advise me on

when and where it's safest.

That sort of thing.

- If I help you with this, if you allow me

because that's the way we do things around here

all favors must be returned, simple as that.

We have an understanding?

Do we?

- Absolutely.

- Come on.

- [Instructor] Keep it going

cause I know you having a great time out there

and push it, push it and kick those feet.

Little sweat, little burn feel those calories dirt

leaving that body there you go

yeah keep going.

Keep going.

Single, single, double, double.

Single, single, double, double.

Wonderful, doing a great job out there.

- Oh, come on now.

Get into it, my God!

Monica you more than look better that you eat.

- Come on Daryl, this is stupid.

- And I wanna see you sweat.

- You're a pervert.

- Come on Praxedias, come on, pick it up.

- You look so beautiful.

Do you know how much I like you?

- No, tell me.

(both kissing)

- [Kevin] Ah.

- Miss your shot baby, I told you.

- [Kevin] Whatever Lucky.

Amateur.

- I see what you got. - Here we go.

- I bet you will make it.

I bet you'll make it.

- Hey champ you've seen Roy or Laura?

- Nope.

- I think Roy is in the bathroom.

I haven't seen Laura.

- Come on we really got to go.

- Hold on a minute.

- We can get caught, if we don't go now.

- Don't worry, Lucky will warn us if there's a problem.

This is where she'd be like all the time.

You know, that's my boys and my aunts

Yo Prax it's a good sandwich, man.

How about letting me have a bite?

Give me a bite, I want to get.

That'll do.

Man, well what can I do now, huh?

Dude!

You didn't see me man, you didn't see me.

Roy, what do you think?

(Lucky laughing)

Go Roy.

(duck quacking)

- So when are you supposed to graduate?

- In a few weeks, I think.

- Really, that soon.

- Yeah, I've been here for 10 months.

- You're going to live at home.

- I hope not.

- How come, cause of your dad?

- No, my stepdad.

(water splashes)

- You know, when I was little my dad used to take me

to this little cabin in the Sierras

and we'd have to hike a few miles

from the road to get to it.

But there was never anybody else around.

(birds chirping)

I mean, it was, it was incredible.

I mean, there was a stream and trees and lots of deer

(birds chirping)

and we would just stay there for days.

Fish or just hang out.

Well sometimes when things get really bad

I think about going there again.

It makes me feel better just thinking about it.

- I wish I had a place like that.

(birds chirping)

- You can share mine with me if you want.

- So I guess I won't be seeing much of you

for awhile, Lucky.

- Why that baby?

You got another man?

- You never quit.

You know, I am proud of you though

for starting this new job tomorrow.

I just hope you stick with it long enough

to learn something.

- Yeah.

Yeah, I like working on cars.

I got a lot of experience from stealing them.

- Lucky, this could be your big break.

Don't go out there and blow it.

- No, not me.

I know a good thing when I see it.

- I hope so.

Lucky, would you run over there

and tell Roy and Laura to turn it to her hand.

They've gone way too far.

- Come on.

(bird chirping)

It's beautiful, huh?

- You fool?

Hey you.

- Hey!

- Yo!

- Hey, what's up.

- Hey!

(ladies yelling)

- Get away from me, get away from me.

- Get the (beep) away from her, you piece of shit.

- What's wrong with you?

- Stay away from her.

- Hit me asshole, hit me.

- Yo!

- Don't you ever touch her.

- Come on, hit me asshole.

- Stop it guys, stop it.

- Come on, hit me coward, just hit me.

- [Dee] Stop it guys, stop it.

- Well, are you scared.

Why are you scared?

- All right. - You're scared?

Take some space, step back.

- Hit me, coward. - Get in the van, Roy.

Did you hear what I said?

Get in the van.

Let's go.

- Better go you asshole, better go.

(door squeaks)

- You have some explaining to do, Roy.

I need to know if you and Laura having a relationship

and I want you to tell me the truth.

- What do you mean?

We talk sometimes like nothing's going on.

- And how do you explain this?

- It's a drawing, it's just a fantasy.

- You are really pushing my buttons.

This isn't a game we're playing here, Boy.

Either you work on our program and follow all our rules

or there's no point in you being here.

And if I catch you anywhere near Laura in the next few days,

you'll be back on the hall so fast

and make your head spin, try me.

And I'm confiscating this.

You're room restricted until further notice.

(door bangs)

(teens yelling)

(fireworks buzzing)

(microphone static noise)

- [Dee] Laura, come to the staff office,

Laura to the staff office.

(door knocking)

- [Daryl] Come in.

(door squeaks)

- You want to see me.

- We have some good news for you, Laura.

Daryl and I have picked a date for your graduation.

- When?

- This coming Sunday.

- In three days?

- We've talked to your dad.

He's all for it.

Congratulations, Laura.

- I don't think I'm ready.

- You don't want to graduate?

- No, I'm not ready yet.

I just want to stay a few more months.

- I know you're scared Laura

but you've been at Chimera House for 10 months now.

It's time to move on with your life.

- I'm not ready.

- Laura, you're just anxious.

Everyone gets nervous

when there's big changes in their life.

Have a seat Laura.

Laura, I'm going to try something to get you to relax.

All right?

Just watch the chain and listen to my voice.

- Daryl, stop.

- You're thinking about how nice it will be

when you graduate, how everything will be, okay.

- What are you doing to me?

Stop!

- Laura, you will graduate.

And everything will be just fine.

- You can't make me go.

I am not going back there, I'm not going to go.

(door slams)

- Hey man, don't even sweat it, all right.

As soon as I go, Dee is going to walk up in here

and she's going to have a serious talk

about you and your attitude.

This is going to cut to some kind of deal.

You're going to be off restriction man

before I even get to work.

But just don't forget Dee is the shrink, all right?

So, you know, talk to her about your feelings

and shit like that.

You're going to get off light.

I'm ready to leave.

I got to go, so we'll talk to later, right?

(door squeaks)

- [Roy] The fall in the real world.

- Lucky, welcome to DAN

- I appreciate it, man, I really do.

Hey guys, what's going on, huh?

- Hey Lucky, how are you doing?

- Hey man. - We're good, man.

- Hey lucky?

Lucky?

Tires.

(machine whirring)

(door squeaking)

- You're off restriction?

- Yeah.

Well, everything is ready to go.

- Talked to your brother?

- That's affirmative, the product is waiting for pickup.

- Let's do it now.

- All right.

Take it easy.

Turn them over so he can get his leg there.

- There we go. - It's all right.

(bell jingles)

- [Steve] Looks good.

- [Roy] Yeah, there you go.

- Let me get him, let me get him.

Are you ready?

All right, good luck, you know what to do.

Good luck come on.

(Steve kissing)

Give it a kiss, for luck.

- You want me to kiss the bird?

- Yeah, come on.

All right then.

(drum music)

(electric guitar music)

Go baby girl.

(metal clanks)

(tire blowing)

(electric guitar music)

- Welcome back.

(door squeaks)

- You haven't done the toilets.

- Well, I couldn't find the brush.

- You still got to do them.

- [Roy] I'll do it when I find the brush.

- I'll have to write you up.

- I'm not going to clean shit with my hand.

- Why not?

Just so you get it done.

- And what the hell is your problem?

Just because I'm white, I shouldn't live here.

- Color ain't got anything to do with this

it's who you are underneath.

- And you don't know shit about me.

- I know enough to hear how you've been disrespecting me

from the first day I saw you, man.

I knew you wasn't gonna be a family, man.

You don't care how we got

to watch each other's backs in here.

But that's the way it's got to be.

If you want to make things right

you need to apologize for what happened.

- You're out of your mind.

- I'm out of my mind.

Now get into your boy shit, Roy boy.

But I promise to make your life hell

until you save yourself.

(screaming metal music)

(door squeaks)

Roy?

Did you hear the bad news?

- What?

- They're graduating me in three days

and I have to go home on Sunday.

And I think they're trying to get us apart.

(romantic piano music)

I don't want to go.

- If you go, I'm not going to stay.

- What should we do?

- Let's get the (beep) outta here.

- You mean run away?

- Why not?

(soft piano music)

- If we run now, we'll get caught.

- Well then let's go tonight.

- No, are you sure you want to do that?

- Absolutely, I'm sick of this place.

- Okay, tomorrow night, okay?

I guess we'll have time to think about it.

- Please don't change your mind.

(smooching)

(doorbell rings)

(door squeaks)

- So Daryl, how are you doing? - How are doing?

Good.

Oh backward let's see hands.

- Come on, Daryl.

- Lets see them.

Thank you.

- Yeah, okay.

- How was your day at work?

- It was dirty, it was good, all right.

You know what I'm saying, huh?

- Okay, I'll be there with you, let's go.

(door slams)

(Minh yawning)

Time for you to go Lucky.

- Have fun everybody.

(all chattering)

- All right family, here's the plan

the front and backyards both need extensive work.

So that means everyone's doing outside chores today.

I know it's hot

but we're supplying sodas to ease the pain.

All right now your chores are on this list.

Everyone gets a copy on the way out.

Thank you family.

- [All] Thank you, Daryl.

- You're welcome.

(paper crunching)

- Prax, you know you gotta pick that back up.

- Any sign of the pigeon? - Nothing.

- You think there's a problem?

- No, we just have to wait.

("Dogday Afternoon")

- Oh my God.

("Dogday Afternoon")

(bird quacking)

- Laura?

Over here.

- Where are you?

- Here?

We still on for tonight?

- Yeah.

- 12 o'clock, okay?

Midnight, I'll knock on your window.

Laura.

- Yeah.

- Will you tell me why you're really here?

- What do you mean?

- I think you're hiding something.

You know the pictures

and well Dee said there's a lot of stuff

about you I don't know.

- What'd she say?

- I'd like you to tell me.

- Roy, it doesn't matter anymore.

It's in the past.

- Why can't you just tell me?

I mean, cause then I wonder

and it just turns into a big deal.

- If I tell you, will you promise not to hold it against me?

- Of course.

- I used to cut myself.

- What?

- I used to cut myself.

- What do you mean you like tried to kill yourself?

- No, it's it's like a disease.

You cut yourself whenever you feel bad about things.

It's a compulsion.

It's how I used to punish myself for not being good enough.

- And that's why you're here.

- It's not like I was crazy or anything.

It's just that I feel bad sometimes.

So,

I'd take a razor and I'd cut between my toes

or by my ears wherever you can't see the scars,

but where it bleeds a lot.

And then everybody freak out.

I got sent to a psych hospital a couple of times

but whenever I came home again, I started cutting.

So they sent me here.

- And now you're okay?

- Yep.

Are you?

- Of course

(bird chirping)

(phone rings)

- DAN service.

This is DAN.

He did?

- Now you're stealing from me, huh?

- Nobody is stealing.

- Don't you lie to me.

(door squeaks)

- All right, everyone to their room.

Let's go (clapping) get moving.

Come on, let's go.

Come on family.

- What's up?

- Room restriction Kevin, let's go.

Out of my face Kevin, this moment.

Leave that here.

- Oh.

Shit.

- [Daryl] I want your attention, family.

Dee and I are preparing a list of all the contraband

we found in your rooms.

Later, we'll meet with each to determine

the bookings and LPs.

In the meantime, we're on THS total house safety

where you have the remainder of the day

to organize your rooms and think about why we need rules

to structure our lives and keep us safe.

I suggest you also make use of this time

by doing a Purdue inventory on why you're here

and whether or not you're taking this program seriously.

Because if you're not,

we can certainly give you some chance.

(stretching music)

(door clicks)

(metal clanking)

- What happened?

- It's over.

Daryl, found my screwdriver.

I got fired.

How do you even graduate till I'm 18, five months.

- And why the hell did you steal it?

- Well, I gotta have a weapon, man.

There's no peace without a weapon.

- I'm running tonight with Laura.

If you want to come.

- Man, that's a stupid idea, man.

They're going to catch you,

you going to be sent right back to the hall.

- Hey look I'm tired of being treated

like a piece of shit around here.

No matter what the I do, I lose.

Well, I'm not a loser and I'm not going to wait around

for them to turn me into one.

- And you really think you gonna be able

to hide out for two years, man, two years?

- I don't have a choice.

It's either run or curl up and die.

- I don't know, man.

This is probably the best home I've ever had.

I mean, I know Daryl was a pain in the ass most of the time

but it could be a lot worse.

- If that's the way you feel then why do you want out?

- You know why?

Because I've tried and I've tried to adjust to this place.

I can't, I'm a warrior.

I know that now.

That's who I am.

- [Kiwi] Well, do you even know where you're going?

- Roy does.

There's a cabin in the mountains he knows about.

So we'll stay there for awhile.

- You mean in the wilderness.

- You know, I used to think I'd be scared

leaving this place.

Now I'm just excited, you know?

Like I'm waking up from a bad dream

and I get a second chance.

Can't wait to get out and start living again.

- You gotta be careful Laura,

girl it ain't so easy being on the run.

- We'll be okay.

And we like each other enough.

I know, things will work out.

- I wish it was that simple.

- Stop being so negative Kiwi, okay?

I've really good feelings about this.

I don't want you to bring me down.

(zipper purring)

- Are you sure you don't want to change your mind.

- You're the one that should be changing his mind.

Have you even thought about what's gonna happen

to Laura if she gets caught?

- What do you mean?

- It's going to do her time all over again.

You've only been here a few days, man.

You don't have much to lose.

She's got 10 months.

- [Punk] Wake up, wake up Chimera House.

We're out here waiting for you.

- [Punk] Hello you there.

- Oh shit!

- What the hell are you doing?

- I know this shit, always coming in here.

Today he won't get away with this.

- Are you crazy?

Lucky, don't do this.

- I got to do this okay?

Myself.

Daryl never needs to know.

(phone ringing)

- Hello?

Yeah this is Daryl.

Are you sure it's one mine?

(switch clicks)

- What are you doing?

Turn it off.

Damn I want to sleep.

(switch clicks)

- God damn it Lucky.

How the hell am I supposed to leave with Daryl on alert?

You really fucked things up for me.

- It was worth it, man.

I got one of them real good.

- What the hell happened?

- Check this out.

When I got outside, right?

I heard that one voice yelling by the vacant lot, right?

So I kept him on the side of the house, right

to like I said there was three of them

hanging over by the fence.

(men talking indistinctly)

When I got real close, I heard them talking about,

came back to their group home and stuff like that.

We're staff on the but we are punks

- [Punk] Edge wait, you know what I'm saying?

- That's when one of them started spray painting our fence.

Right then I knew it was time for these (beep)

to feel some pain.

(Lucky howling)

I've been only fucked to one of them up though, man.

Cause he led to running off so fast.

They were pissing in their pants(laughs)

but it was beautiful, man.

Beautiful.

Best thing I've done in this place.

- It's probably cause Daryl on the alert.

You can't expect Roy to come,

if he thinks he can get busted.

- It's not that I know it's not that, he's changed his mind.

- Laura, you can't know that you can run tomorrow night.

It's just not safe tonight.

- So stupid, I never should have told him about the cutting.

He won't go now, he thinks I'm too weird and crazy.

- Just stop it, Laura.

- It's true, in two days, I'll be back

with my fucked up stepdad and nothing will have change.

Nothing ever changes.

(Lucky conversing quietly)

- I want to see you in my office.

- Me?

- Now!

(water running)

- Hey.

You okay?

Hey Daryl was on the prowl last night.

Can we make a new plan?

Laura?

- Look, you would have come last night if you really wanted.

- What?

- I don't think you want to go with me anymore.

- That's not true.

- I'm not dumb, Roy.

I mean, if I were you I'd have second thoughts too.

- I'm not having second thoughts, I just.

- Come on Roy, I told you the truth about me.

Just tell me the truth about you.

- I am telling you the truth.

(utensils clanking)

(water running)

- I need your help, man.

One of those Edge wood punks recognize me

and got word back to Daryl.

I'm gonna need an alibi.

- Like what?

- You tell him that I never left our room.

- Look, man, they don't have anything on you.

It's your word against theirs?

- What are you talking about?

Man, there was three of them out there.

You know that three of them

they are trying to charge me with assault on this.

You got to do this for me, man.

I need you.

- I'm not gonna make any difference.

- Well, you know what is payback time, man?

You remember, man, you owe me this much.

- I just came by to say that lucky couldn't have done

what they said he did.

We were talking till almost midnight.

- This isn't about lucky Roy, it's about you.

We have all the evidence we need to get Lucky.

I know he's your roommate.

You want to help out it's commendable.

I admire that, but it's too late

but you can help yourself though.

Tell the truth and we'll make sure your PO hears about it.

Continue lying and I'll consider you, Lucky as accomplished.

And you'll be having dinner in the hall, your choice.

(suspenseful music)

(door locks)

(suspenseful music)

(door clicking)

- I brought you some dinner.

Forget it Lucky Daryl's sitting right outside.

- Fuck, I'm so fucked Laura.

Look I'm so screwed.

Can you help me out?

I'm such a piece of shit.

I'm such a piece of shit.

Listen to me, you got to tell Roy please.

No matter what Daryl says, he's only bluffing.

Daryl got nothing on me.

You gotta tell him he's got to stick to our story

no matter what, okay?

Laura will you do this for me.

You got to do this one, please, please.

He can't get into their bluff.

- I'll tell him.

- Because if he doesn't I'm fucked,

I'm so, I'm doomed.

Will you pray with me?

Lord, if you can hear me, please, please forgive me.

I know I've pushed a lot of buttons and I'm truly sorry

but I would like just one more chance please.

So if you can somehow see it in your heart,

Lord get me out of here please, Lord get us all out of here.

Lord, please give Roy this strength he needs

to stand up Daryl and Dee don't let him back down

or fall for their tricks.

I'm just asking for one chance Lord, just one chance please.

I promise, I promise.

- It's time for you to go, Laura.

- Good luck, Lucky.

(door slams)

- [Woman] Don't sweat out in this house please,

what are you drinking?

You're always drinking. - Oh shut up!

- Stop. - Shut up right now!

I'm sick of bullshit.

- Don't touch me. - Damn ass.

- Don't touch me. - Fuck damn it, shut up.

(woman weeping)

(teens conversing quietly)

(window blasts)

(all screaming)

(all yelling)

- Hey, anyone going there outside, will be arrested

and thrown to the hall.

No, I said.

- This is war Daryl, we have the right to defend our home.

- Did you hear what I said put down the stick

and go to your room, now!

(window blasts)

(all screaming)

Oh there.

- This is an emergency.

We need the police.

- Laura get away from there,

get away from that window.

- Come on run, Roy let's go.

- Where are we going?

- Lets run while they're distracted.

- Wait a minute.

- What do you mean?

You said you wanted to go?

- I do, but listen,

okay tomorrow you're graduating.

You'll be legal.

Let's wait a couple of days.

I'll meet you at your dad's place and we'll go from there.

- That's stupid.

If you really want to do it, let's go now.

- It's better for you with me, wait.

- No that's not the point, Roy

we're not going to get another chance.

- Yes we will Laura,

if we don't get caught up in all of this shit.

- Come on it's now or never.

- Laura, Roy?

- Okay Laura, I promise in a couple of days.

(door squeaks)

(door slams)

(teens yelling)

- Hey come on Prax, open the door, man.

- Hey come on, we're getting you out.

(All yelling)

- I'll take care of it, please can you hear me?

I'll take care of it.

(all yelling)

- Roy, where's Laura at?

- I don't know what the fuck's going on with her.

(slow upbeat music)

(ghostly voice)

(stick hissing)

(ghostly voice)

(teens yelling)

- Don't do this, man

- [Kiwi] Laura open up the door girl.

- Go away leave me alone.

- [Kiwi] Open it up girl, it's Kiwi, just let me in.

Laura?

- And you shit you destroy everything, I hate you.

I hate you.

- Laura, don't do anything stupid.

Please, Laura.

There is a lot of crazy shit going on out there

and it's making us all feel real bad,

but girl it ain't about us.

- Don't!

- We promised to help each other out, remember

if the ghosts ever came back

we said that we would be there for each other.

Can we just talk about this for a minute girl?

- It won't make any difference.

- Yeah, it will.

It'll make a big difference if we don't give it up.

- No, not for me, it won't.

- Laura girl, I care about you.

- You're the only one.

- That's not true I just seen Roy outside

and he's real worried about you.

- I don't believe you.

- You're putting an awful lot of pressure on yourself.

Give it some time.

- Is it any time?

- Can I tell you what I do when I feel hopeless?

I tell myself that for one day I'm going to pretend

to feel positive and hopeful and I for one day,

I'll pretend to be somebody

who really expects something good to happen.

- What happens?

- Things get better.

It's true, at least give it a try Laura.

Cause girl, if you cut yourself,

they're going to send you away

and then you never going home.

(siren wailing)

(Laura sobs)

(siren wailing)

- We are ready (beep) run?

Like the (beep) that you are on.

- All right, it's over.

Everybody's to their rooms now.

- [Praxedias] I should've helped you out.

- Yo Daryl, we're going to the hall?

- [Teresa] Monica let's go.

Kevin come on.

- Kevin?

- Oh man, lets go, its Five O, man,

let's go come on.

- Prax you can go, man.

- I'm not leaving you.

I'm not leaving you.

Let's go, get up.

- You go, fuck.

(Lucky sobs)

- They were completely having fun.

- Oh you're ready, you're ready?

One two three.

(Lucky breathes heavily)

- You're doing okay.

- I'm good.

Did you tell Daryl anything?

- No.

- You weren't going to back down.

- Okay, it doesn't matter anymore, okay?

So let's just not talk about it.

- I need to know man.

It's important.

- Look, I don't know what I was going to do, okay?

But I wasn't willing to go to the hall for you.

That's too much to ask.

- He's only bluffing, he had nothing on me.

- It doesn't matter anymore, Lucky.

- Believe it.

You were going to fall for his shit.

And I risked my neck for you.

- Get yourself together.

Let's go.

- What about him?

- [Daryl] He's all right.

- [Police] You're under arrest for assault.

You have the right to remain silent.

- Seem kinda lonely around here, huh?

- Morning?

- Hi.

- Anyone wants some juice?

- Well, here we are survivors from the night of hell.

- Is lucky okay?

- He's pretty messed up.

I didn't show that to the cops though.

So how are you?

- Okay I guess, I'm supposed to graduate today.

- What time?

- I don't know all I know is my stepdad feels

like picking me up.

- Well, can I get your address and phone number?

Because in a couple of days I'll be giving you a call.

- You still want to run?

- That's the plan, you still want to go?

- I don't know, things got pretty screwed up, didn't they?.

- Listen Laura, I don't think I'm ever going to graduate

from this place.

I mean, look, what happened to all of them.

(piano music)

Come one give it another chance.

(soft piano music)

- Anybody wants some strawberry Kiwi.

(soft piano music)

(door clicks)

- We have some important news for you.

There's going to be an investigation

and we're closing the house until it's over.

- What does that mean?

- Well, it means that Laura would graduate as scheduled

and Keisha will be moved to a group home in Texas.

- What about me.

- It means you're going back to the hall.

- That's not fair.

- You can't do that, I haven't broken any rules.

- Things don't always work out the way we want them to, Roy.

Oh, I'm sorry, son.

(suspenseful music)

Don't make it difficult.

(ghostly music)
