[Mysterious music]

- [Woman]: Let go of my arm!

- [Man]: Hey, you think you can hit me like that!

What's more important? Her or us?

- We can't let anybody know about this.

- What are we gonna do, guys?

- A person is dead. We can't just pretend like nothing happened!

- I say we do what Cody says. He's right about all this.

- We don't have a choice, Jason!

[So you're not gonna have any trouble making it by 9 o'clock?]

- Uh, no. We're all cool. I'm gonna leave here around 8.

- [Great! I'll be waiting outside.]

- Alright. Hey, Jules. How you doing?

- Good, Becca. How you doing? - Mm, good. Yeah.

And yes, it's 500 cash. I know I've told you this,

but I just like to be real clear when it comes to money.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. I told you it's not a problem.

[You know how to get there, right?]

- Um... Yeah. It's all good. I'll see you tonight.

- Yes, you will, gorgeous. It's on, bro.

- That's awesome.

- Oh... Hey! Has the champagne arrived yet?

- Uh... I'll go check in the back.

- Okay. Thanks. Ty. I so appreciate you coming in

on your night off, honey, to help me set up. Thank you.

- Hey, it's my pleasure.

- Hi, Mom. - Honey? Hey!

- Hi... I swear the wind chill must be 100 below out there.

- I'm surprised to see you. Aren't you supposed to be

at the salon by now? - My 4 o'clock got cancelled.

- Oh... - Big private party, huh?

- Yep. - Looks good.

- So can I get you a cup of coffee or anything?

- Uh no, I can't stay. - Okay...

- I actually came by 'cause, um...

I need a favour.

- Sure.

- Um, I was wondering if I could borrow...

seven hundred dollars. Just 'til next Friday.

- Seven hundred?! What for? - Rent.

- Ah, Danni...

I thought you said Nick finally found a job.

- I wouldn't ask you for a loan unless I really needed it.

- I'll give you a loan. But you got to promise

you're gonna sit down with me this weekend and we'll work out a budget for you and Nick.

- No, Mom. I don't need a financial advisor.

- Honey, I'm not trying to tell you what to do.

But if you really want to own your own salon some day,

then you got to get this money issue under control.

You are ruining your credit, Danni. And once you do that, there is not a bank--

- Yeah, I know! No bank's gonna give me a loan. I got it. - That's right.

- Never mind, okay? I'm sorry I asked.

[Phone ringing]

- Hey, Gabe. What's up?

- Well, what are you doing right now? - [Not much.]

Just getting my mom something for her birthday.

- Sounds like a blast. What are you doing tonight?

- Studying... eating... sleeping...

- What is that? Code for moping around, trying to forget about that bitch Karina?

- Karina who? - [Oh-ho-ho... That's the spirit.]

Listen, man. I know it's a school night, but you have to come with us to the lake house.

We have a surprise for you.

- W-what kind of surprise? - [Talk to Cody.]

- Yo! - [Uh, Cody...]

I'd love to come party with you guys, but you know how my mom is...

- She's gonna be at the restaurant all night. Believe me.

My Dad and step-mom's party will go on forever. They always do.

[She won't even know if you get home a little late.]

Ty's coming. You're the only one that's gonna miss out on all the fun.

And trust me... this one's worth it.

- If I go... I can only stay for like an hour or so.

- Perfect. We'll see you then.

- Hey! - Welcome, Holly!

- I'm the first one here? - Yes, you are. - Always...

There's my handsome son. - Hi, Mom...

- He was such a big help today. I can't tell you. - Oh...

- Listen. I still have a couple of things to finish up. So, how about if you...

please get yourself a cocktail and I'll be back out in a second?

- Okay. Vodka Martini. Straight up with a twist.

- Hey... - Hey...

- You're not driving home tonight, are you, Mom?

- Oh, honey, don't worry about me.

- Good. - I'll be fine.

- I can't wait to see the look of those guys' faces. - It's gonna rock.

- Is this gonna be enough booze? - Are you kidding?

There's four of us. Plus our special guest.

- It's nice to have a moment to catch my breath.

Oh, honey... What are you doing here?

- I just came to pick up Ty. We're gonna go, uh, grab a pizza or something.

- Oh good. Just don't stay out too late. It's a school night.

- Mm-hmm. - Speaking of which, did you check the mail?

- Oh, yeah. It... it didn't come.

- We're still waiting for his acceptance letter to Whitdale.

- That's right. Your mom told me you were applying to Whitdale. Great school.

- Mm-hmm. - It should've been here by now.

Keep your fingers crossed. - Ready to go?

- Yeah. Alright. Thanks, Mrs. Harris.

- And thank you again. You were great today.

- No problem. - Bye. - Bye, Mom.

- Bye, guys.

We're lucky. They're good kids.

- Yes, they are. Hm...

- So, you didn't tell your mom you got rejected from Whitdale yet?

- I can't, man. It's like all she talks about. You should've seen how upset she got

when Danielle dropped out of school. - Well, that's the thing, man.

It's not like you're not going go to college, you know? You're just not going to Whitdale.

- Yeah.

- Okay. You know what, man? Just forget about that tonight.

Just kick back and chill.

I mean, besides, it's all gonna be there for you to deal with tomorrow, right?

- Yeah.

- Alyssa, it's absolutely fantastic. - Yeah, we try.

You let me know if there's something else you need. - Oh, they're here! Everyone?

- Hey! Come on! Come on! Come on, guys! Nobody likes their boss that much.

- Must be the open bar.

[Rock music]

- Hey... You're out already? It's only 8 o'clock.

What, you got a bachelor party or something? - No...

This guy is waaaaay to young to be getting married...

- Oh, dirty, dirty girl!

- Whatever. I don't care. He's loaded...

really, really loaded. - Well, have fun!

- Drink up. - How'd you get all this booze?

- Cody made a fake ID. - On your computer? - Yep.

I got skills. - Oh!!!

I don't get why people keep saying he's cocky...

- I don't know, man. Why?

- Maybe it's the hair. What do you think?

- Oh, nice... - Oooh! - Okay, alright.

We'll see how this goes. We'll see how this goes. - Low blow. Low blow.

- Could I have one more? Thanks. - Coming right up.

- We're gonna have to pry Holly away from the bar.

I'm just about over the drama with her. - Yeah.

- Both her and Jack. - Yeah.

Jack tells me she calls him all the time now... wanting him to come home.

- Forget Holly. It's costing us a fortune to keep him in Hong Kong.

I can't believe he hasn't closed that deal yet.

We gotta replace him.

- And we will. Just as soon

as he gets that deal done.

In the meantime,

maybe you should have a word with her.

- While she's still sober enough to understand...

You need to slow down, Holly.

You're going to embarrass yourself... and Jack.

- It's hard to embarrass Jack when he's not here...

- Oh, come on. You know he can't come back yet,

so stop driving him crazy. He's gotta focus.

This is a big deal for all of us.

And I know you two need the money right now.

- That's right, Dominique. We do.

- Come on...

A lot of spouses have to be out of town all the time...

It can actually be good for the marriage.

Oh... I think they're about to serve dinner.

- Hm... - Let's go sit down.

- Alright. I'm in. - And I'm out. - Oh, I call.

- Oooh... - Oooh... And uh, I fold.

So uh... so what's this surprise?

- Did you invite those college chicks? Remember those ones from last weekend?

- You shall find out.

- May Masterson Enterprises

continue on a successful path. - Hear, hear!

- I suppose I should say a few words. First of all, Laura,

I hope you're right about our path.

Second. I'd like to take this time to say thank you

to someone very special to me.

Dominique.

This company would not be half of what it is without you.

I love you.

- Just one more thing.

- Always has to have the last word. - Curt and I

appreciate the hard work all of you do for the company every day.

You're like a second family.

So please...

Enjoy yourselves tonight. You all deserve it. Cheers. - Cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- You are so good at this. - Oh, thank you very much...

- Show what you got. - Aren't you gonna tell us?

- Guys... Guys? Put down the cards. Put down the beer.

You wanted to know what the surprise was. I introduce to you

the lovely Becca. - Well, hello, boys.

[Giggling] Your friend Cody here tells me

that you need a little something to spice up this party. What do you say?

You're cute. What's your name? - Jason. - Jason...

And you are...? - I'm Gabe.

- And what is the little mischievous one's name here? - Ty.

- What do you say, boys? Should we get this party started?

Come on! You only have an hour!

I wouldn't want you to waste your time.

Come on, Ty.

Nice, guys. Come on, Cody. Are you gonna participate? Or are you just gonna watch?

- You do your thing.

- Alright. We'll have fun on our own. Huh?

[Giggling] Wow!

- How was the crab salad? - It was great. - Terrific.

You ready for the main course? - I think that would be fantastic.

- I'll get on it. Thanks.

[Rock music]

[Gasping] - I do the touching. Not you.

- I'm just kinda bummed about my girlfriend, Karina.

- You know, it's just one girl.

With a smile like that, there'll be a million others.

- I don't know about that, but...

- You know what?

Take this...

If you ever want me to go somewhere with you, just give me a call.

You know, like a party or something...

Seriously! If the girls see you with me, they'll be all over you.

And don't worry. I'll give you a good deal.

- You're bad... - Yeah, well, you're kinda cute.

- Here. Try this drink. I just invented it.

- Oh, I would love to, but, you know, I've got to be going.

- You don't have to go.

- Yeah, well, my hour was up 15 minutes ago.

You boys are awfully sweet but I have to run.

Have a good night. - Good night.

- Come on. I'll walk you out. - Alright. Bye, boys...

- Bye.

- That was the best lap dance I ever had.

- Like you've had others. - I hate you, Gabe.

Come on, J man. I wanna win some more of your money. - Let's go lose some money, J.

- Hey... You don't have to rush out.

- I already gave you an extra 15 minutes, darlin'.

- Gabe, have you ever heard of Alcoholics Anonymous? - What...?

What's more fun than to drink some shots on a school night, hey, boys?

You okay, J? - I guess, yeah...

- Why don't we, uh, go upstairs for a little bit?

Just you and me?

- You're awfully cute, but I'm gonna pass.

- Why not? - 'Cause, uh, I don't do that.

- Come on. Yes, you do.

- No. I don't.

- I know that's a lie.

That redhead Monique says she does it all the time.

- Then maybe you should have hired Monique. I gotta go.

- I paid you 500 dollars.

- And I drove all the way out here and entertained your friends. That was the deal.

- Come on. You knew there'd be a little extra for me.

- Let me spell this out for you.

The night's over, Cody. I'm leaving. Goodbye.

- No, you're not. - Let go of my arm, Cody.

- Nobody makes that kind of money just dancing around naked.

- I do. - No! You don't!

Everybody knows you skanks do more at private parties than you do in the club!

Now, I paid you and you're not leaving until I say so!

- Honey, I made it very clear what I was coming here to do.

- You lying little bitch...

- Let go of my arm! - Yeah...

- I want my money back. - Don't touch me!

- You think you can hit me like that!

Huh? You think you can hit me like that!

- Oh, my God...

- She's dead.

It was an accident.

What? - You were fighting.

- I know, but she tripped, okay? She wasn't paying attention.

- What are we gonna do, guys? - We need to call 911.

- No, wait! Wait! We can't! We can't do that!

Okay, just... Just let me think for a second. Alright?

We take her body down to the ravine... and we leave it there.

- What? No... No, that's insane!

- We ditch her car somewhere downtown. If we leave it unlocked,

it'll probably get stolen. - What if someone sees us? - Stop it! We're not gonna do it

so just quit talking about it! - We don't have a choice, Jason!

Do you have any idea what will happen if this comes out?!

- Your dad's loaded. I mean, lawyers can cover all this...

- It doesn't work like that, Jason!

You think Whitdale didn't want you?!

No decent college in the country is gonna want any of us

if this comes out! - No, he's right. We can't let anybody know about this.

- None of us want our lives ruined over some drunk stripper

who fell down the stairs...

- A person is dead! We can't just pretend like nothing happened!

- What's more important? Her or us?

She was gonna spend the rest of her life doing guys for money!

The four of us, we have big plans...

Ty's got a full-ride golf scholarship.

I wanna run my dad's company... You wanna be an engineer...

We're all gonna make a difference in the world.

No one's even gonna know she's gone...

- Ty?

- I don't know what to do, man. I can't even think straight.

- I say we do what Cody says... He's-he's right about all this.

- Listen. We stick together and we get through this.

We don't have a choice, Jason.

Gabe. Ty. You help me get the body out to the car, okay?

Jason, grab a towel. Wipe down everything she might've touched.

I know you guys got to get home, so once she's in the car, you guys can go.

Gabe and I'll take care of the rest.

Okay?

Dammit, Jason! Just do it!

- Thank you very much again. That was just fantastic. - It's my pleasure.

- Here you go. - Oh. Thank you, Laura.

- So I will see you tomorrow morning? - Yeah, bright and early.

- Oh! [Laughing] - Yeah... Thank you very much.

- Thanks for coming. - Oh, no problem. Have a good night.

- Well... I've just got Holly into a cab so at least she'll make it home safely.

- Thank you. - You're ready to go, hon? - Yeah.

- We shouldn't have done it, man.

This is a mistake.

Cody's the one that did it, and now we're all a part of it.

- Cody's our friend, man. Okay, we can't just bail on him!

Besides, he said it was an accident.

- Yeah, accident... Right. We all heard them fighting.

- Listen, okay. We just... we just got to trust Cody that this will all be okay.

- Jason?

- Hey, we made a promise to Cody.

I'm serious! - Yeah, I know. I know what we said.

[Cell phone ringing]

Oh... damn...

[Door closing] - Jason!

Where have you been? - I know, Mom. I'm sorry. I lost track of time.

- Honey... You didn't answer your cell.

- I left my phone at the pizza place...

And then, when we went to get it...

I saw that you called. - Where else did you go?

- Just... driving around, and to Ty's and stuff.

I'm sorry to make you worry.

I'm gonna go to bed now, okay?

- Gabe... If he opens his mouth, we're screwed.

- I think, I think you should talk to him or something then.

You know how Jason is about always telling the truth and all that.

- I know how he is. He's my friend too.

You need to act normal around Dad and Dominique, okay?

Just act like nothing happened. - Don't worry. I'll be fine.

- Well, hello, boys. Should we get this party started?

- Hey, you think you can hit me like that?

We take her body down to the ravine... And we leave it ther.

- No, that's insane! - We stick together and we get through this.

- What if someone sees us? - No one's even gonna know she's gone...

[Becca screaming]

[Weather forecast on TV]

- Mm...

I see the Whitmans are having their annual

charity toy drive again this year. - It keeps them busy...

- Cody. I'd like you to go. It'll buy us some good will

and I need the Whitmans' backing on that Arlen Hills land deal.

- Dominique already mentioned it and I told her I can't go. It's on the fifteenth...

And I have concert tickets for that night.

- There'll be other concerts.

I'd like you to go to the toy drive. - Can't Gabe go?

- No... Gabe can't go.

Your dad and I will be in San Francisco that day

and we need you to be there.

You know, you're gonna have to attend a lot of these after you graduate.

- Fine. Whatever. - I'm sorry. "Whatever?!"

- Gabe! Let's go!

- I'm ready.

- Have a great day, guys.

- He needs to start taking this seriously, Curt.

- Ah, he's young.

And he's got great instincts.

[Cell phone ringing]

- Hi, Mom.

- Do you still need to borrow money for rent?

'Cause if you do, I'm gonna stop at the bank today. I'll bring it over, honey.

- Uh, no, it's okay. Nick's older brother

is gonna loan us the money, but thanks anyways.

- Honey, you know if you need help that I'm here.

- I know...

[I know. I'm sorry for running out like that yesterday. I just...]

Things haven't been that good with Nick, and... I don't know. I'm just stressed.

- You know, why don't you just stop by and have dinner with me

[at the restaurant one night this week?]

We just need to hang out a little.

- Sure. Yeah...

- I'll talk to you later, huh?

- Okay. Bye.

- Goodbye, baby.

- You and your mom make up?

- She just worries, you know?

And it's hard 'cause I know that she doesn't like Nick.

- Ugh... You know, Aaron's dad is the same way.

He sort of implies Aaron's too good to be with a hairstylist,

you know... - Really? - But opposites attract, right?

- Okay, if that's true, then Nick must be a loser.

- 'Cause you're such a good catch? - Mm-hmm.

- You know, that aside, I wouldn't worry so much

about what your mom says. It's her job to drive you nuts.

- You think so, huh? - Of course.

We drive them crazy 'til we turn 18, then they make us crazy

for the rest of our lives. Retribution.

- Right.

Thanks so much for bringing this. I was completely starving.

- No problem. - So what did you want to talk about?

You sounded pretty stressed out when you called...

Something happened at school?

- No... I wish it was that.

- Sorry. Danni. It's Sylvia on the phone. She wants to know

if you can do her perm at 2 instead of 3.

- No, tell her no. I have a cut coming in at 2:30. - Oh... right.

- Sorry. So?

What's bothering you? It sounded serious.

- It is.

Have you ever kept something to yourself

that you know deep down you should probably tell?

- What are we talking about here?

- Sorry again!

1:30 tomorrow instead?

- This woman drives me insane. I'm so sorry.

Just give me one minute, okay?

- Dammit...

- That's great. I'll see you then. Bye.

I'm so sorry. - Ah, it's alright. Don't worry about it.

We can... we can talk later. - Are you sure? My client's not coming for another ten minutes.

- Yeah, yeah, it's cool. I better get back to school anyways.

I'll talk to you later.

- Good job.

- Hey...

- Hey... Look. I don't want to put you in a difficult position here,

but what happened with you and Jason

last night? - What do you mean?

- Stem. - Sorry.

- Well, you guys got home pretty late. And, uh...

I don't know, Jason was just... he wasn't himself.

- Huh!

Yeah, I don't know. We were just hanging out, having a good time.

- So nothing happened?

- You know, nothing that would make him act weird...

- Okay.

- Hey, Tracy! [Bell ringing]

- Is everything okay? - Yeah, it's fine.

- I didn't see you at lunch. - I ate off campus today.

- So we're all gonna go shoot some pool with Johnny and Pete after seventh period.

You wanna ride with me? - I'm not gonna go this week.

- I thought we agreed to act normal.

- Well, that's kinda hard when things are about as far from normal as they can be.

- What do you want us to do, Jason?

You want us to go the cops and tell them what happened?

- Honestly... Yeah, I do.

- Okay. Well, let's not rush. If we're gonna do that,

we're gonna need lawyers and the whole thing.

- Okay, yeah.

- I gotta get to class but, uh, just act normal for right now. I'll figure it out

and I'll call you. It's gonna be okay.

Alright?

There's no doubt in my mind. He's gonna talk.

Not today, but if I don't get back to him with what he wants to hear

he's gonna go to the cops on his own. - So what are we gonna do?

- I'll tell you exactly what we have to do.

- [I'm not in. Speak your piece.] - [Hey, Becca, it's me.]

Look, I just hope everything's okay.

Give me a call when you get this message, alright?

Hey! Cynthia! Come here.

Have you seen Becca? - No, she isn't here.

- That's weird. She's on the schedule.

- She was on schedule last night too. I don't remember

seeing her. - It's because she didn't come in. I just left her a message

on her cell. She's not answering. I'm starting to get worried.

- That's Becca. She's a big girl.

Who knows what she's up to?

- Hey, babe. I'm making you some of my killer eggs here.

- No, thanks. - Hey, honey...

Will you please tell me what's going on with you?

I know something's wrong.

- I... I can't explain it, Mom.

Not yet.

- Jayz, come on. This is me. Remember?

You can talk to me about anything.

[Sighing]

Honey, whatever it is, it's okay.

- I better get to school.

- I'll see you later.

- Hey, Gabe!

Where's Cody, man? I haven't seen him all day.

- Um, he's... he's out sick. Why?

- Well, did he figure anything out? He said he was gonna look into it.

- Oh, not yet. He's, he's probably working on that right now.

- Alright, man. Well, tell him to call me, okay? - Sure thing.

- Alright. Let's call him.

[Cell phone ringing]

- Hello?

- Hey! It's me. Yeah, listen.

[I thought about what you said.]

And you're right.

It's better if we go to the cops and tell them what happened.

- Good.

Good.

- But we're gonna have to discuss this first.

Can you meet me and Gabe at that bar we used to hang out at?

[You know, the one that my dad's gonna tear down and build some condos?]

Ty's gonna meet us here after work.

- Yeah. Totally. I... I'll be there in 15 minutes.

- Cool. Alright. We'll see you in a bit.

He's on his way.

- Hey!

- Hey, Jason... - Hey, man.

- Have a drink. - Oh...

- Last time we're gonna be here, man. My dad's selling those stuff off next week.

- I'm uh... I'm really glad you guys want to talk about this,

'cause I've been thinking about it a lot.

- Well, let me ask you this. How would you like to handle this?

- Well, uh...

I think the four of us should get our parents together first. Like, maybe sit 'em together

in the same room...

Tell the truth.

Then, uh, we all go to the cops together.

- Well, that sounds like a good plan, don't you think? - Yeah.

- Well, okay.

Let's say we did that. Gabe, how do we break this to Dad and Dominique?

- Hi! - Hi. I decided to take you up on your offer for dinner.

- And I'm glad. So what would you like?

We've got mahi-mahi tonight. - Ooh, yeah! That sounds great.

- I'll let them know in the kitchen then. - Okay.

- So should we tell them about where we left the car?

- Yeah...

Wait. What? - Where we left the car.

- You okay, Jason?

- I, uh...

Yeah. I'm okay.

We should, uh...

We should tell them where you left the car.

- I'm not so sure I can remember where that is.

- Jason came by the salon the other day. - He did?

- Yeah, he brought me lunch.

He didn't stay long, though.

- Did he tell you what's been bothering him?

'Cause I tried to talk to him and he said he couldn't tell me.

- I think he wanted to discuss it, but I kept getting interrupted, so...

he didn't get the chance.

- Maybe I'll go home early tonight and take him dinner.

Have a heart-to-heart with your little brother.

- So we'll tell 'em where the body can be found...

- I feel... - Cody. Cody. - Don't let him fall.

Jason?

Jason? Jason?

- Did you give him enough to do it?

- I gave him nearly 20 times what the directions said.

Now put him in the Porsche. I'll drive the Pontiac. We'll move him when we get there.

Get the door. Get the door.

- Hello?

Jason?

[Cell phone ringing]

- [Hi, you've got Jason's phone,]

[but he's not answering. So do what you gotta do.]

- Hey! It's me. I brought you dinner.

Thought maybe we could sit and talk.

Anyway, um... I didn't know you had plans tonight, so...

Give me a call when you get this. Okay?

Alright. Alright.

Alright.

God...

- What about his friend at the gym?

- Carlos? Yeah, I tried him.

I called everyone I can think of. Ty hasn't seen him.

There was no answer at the Masterson house...

I even tried Karina. She hasn't heard from him either.

- This isn't like him.

- I know. [Phone ringing]

- I'll get it. Hello?

- [Hey, Danni. It's me.] - It's Holly.

- [Did Jason ever come home?] - No, nobody has seen him.

- [Unbelievable.] - We've also tried local hospitals.

[Doorbell] - [Did you try St. Mary's?]

[That one's a little out of the way, but you never know.]

- Hello, ma'am. Are you Alyssa Harris?

- [Okay?] - Thank you. - [Let me know.]

- Yeah. We'll... we'll definitely call you.

- [Bye now.] - Oh God!

- Mom? - He's dead.

- I had his phone last time, so it just can't be any worse.

- Hey... Come here.

Jason's dead. - Dead?!

Wh-what are you talking about?

- My mom heard from Mrs. Harris.

He overdosed last night.

Some guy found him out in his car by the reservoir.

- That's awful. - Did he call you guys?

I was at work. I didn't hear from him. - No. No, no, no...

He didn't call us. Wow! I don't even know what to say.

- I saw him yesterday at school, but that was it.

- This is unbelievable. I...

You know, he was pretty depressed about breaking up with Karina...

- You're right. And then there was that letter from Whitdale...

- Come on, guys. We know why he was upset.

- Yeah, well, since we're not gonna mention that,

there must've been other things bothering him.

Are they gonna make an announcement?

- There's an assembly at ten.

- Okay. We'll see you there.

[Whimpering]

- It's okay, Mom.

- Overdose?!

How could he overdose?

- I never would've thought he would be doing drugs.

I mean, he was so against it.

Mom...

What if he meant to do it?

- I don't know, Danni.

- Like they said, the autopsy should tell us. - Autopsy...

On my son...

- Let's go home. Okay?

I'm gonna spend a few days with you.

- So he didn't leave a suicide note or anything?

- No. - But it was a suicide?

- They don't actually know for sure.

I mean, at the assembly they said it could've been an accident.

- Poor Alyssa. Can you imagine?

- I just don't get it...

- Get what, Dad?

- This, this epidemic of teen suicide.

I mean, trust me, guys. Whatever problems

you have at 17, they're probably not that big of a deal.

- It's all in the parenting, if you ask me.

These boys would never think of doing anything like that.

- Are you kidding me? Pass the salt.

- You okay, Gabe?

You're quiet tonight. - I'm fine.

- "We will be unable

to offer you a place in the Whitdale class of 2012..."

- Mom?

- Danni?

Did you know about this?

- He didn't get in. - No.

Do you think that's what he was trying to tell us

and he couldn't?

- Maybe this is what was upsetting him so much.

- He told me he couldn't talk to me about it yet.

God... Maybe he just didn't know how.

That, coupled with breaking up with Karina...

Oh, honey... - Mom, this is my fault.

He wanted to talk to me at the salon. I just kept getting interrupted.

I should've... I should've just sat there and listened.

- You didn't know, Danni.

I'm his mother.

I'm the one who should've done something.

- Maybe he talked to Ty about this.

I mean, they were best friends...

- I think we should call him.

- Like I said, you know more than I do.

- [I was hoping that he said something...] - I'm sorry.

- [Yeah, thanks.] - No. You're welcome, Mrs. Harris.

- [Take care, honey.] - Okay. Bye.

- Poor Alyssa...

This is all so sad.

- Cody, Cody, wait a second.

They found Becca's body by the ravine. It's all over the news.

[Sighing]

- Alright. Stay cool. Just get your jacket.

- You boys are ready to go? - I guess.

- Are the flowers that we ordered going to be delivered to the church?

- Yes. - Good. - Oh! Make sure to tell Alyssa

we're sorry we can't come. There's just no way to go and make it to New York

by this afternoon. - I'm sure she'll understand.

- Is this the financial section? - Mm... it's here.

- When I first moved here and came to middle school,

I was the 'new kid.'

Jason was my first friend.

And Jason didn't have a brother and neither did I,

so we always used to say we were brothers by choice.

I would have been proud to have Jason as a brother.

He was a really good person.

The kind of person who loved life.

The thing about Jason

was he always wanted to do the right thing.

And it didn't matter what anyone said.

For Jason to do what he did,

there must have be things going on with him that nobody knew about...

Things that most of us probably... wouldn't understand.

Jason was really smart. Too smart.

He was amazing at sports.

Except golf. [Soft laughter] - That's right.

- And I know that he loved you very much, Mrs. Harris...

And you too, Danni.

And we're all gonna miss him very much.

Thank you.

- The last funeral I went to was my own father's.

I was only 12 at the time, but I remember it leaving such a void in our lives.

For those of you that didn't know my father,

he was killed in a car accident. It's hard to understand

how one minute someone can be saying, "I'll see you tomorrow..."

and then tomorrow comes, and they're gone.

I know I'm older than Jason,

but I always thought that he was the smart one.

The ambitious one.

The one that was gonna do

really great things with his life.

He's my little brother, but I learned so much from him.

Especially when he wasn't trying to put me in a headlock or...

hide in the bushes and jump out and scare me.

[Soft laughter] Do you remember when you guys did that with those crazy masks?

I don't know why Jason did what he did...

Or if any of us will ever understand it...

But I know that he's in a place now

where whatever was causing him pain is gone.

As much as I wish that he was still here,

I know that he's found peace.

And maybe that's all that we can hope for...

- What you said was beautiful, honey.

- Thanks. - Thank you. - I'll see you guys later.

- Okay. - Mm-hm.

- I am so sorry, Mrs. Harris. - Thanks, Cody.

- Dad and Dominique wanted to be here

but they had to be in New York. - It's okay. I'm glad you guys could come.

- Mrs. Harris, if there's anything we can do to help,

don't hesitate to call us. - I appreciate that, guys.

- We'll see you at the cemetery. - Alright.

Let's do it.

- Well, that's easy for you to say, Jack.

You're 8,000 miles away.

- [I just hope you're setting a good example for the boy, that's all...]

- I am doing the best I can!

- [You're right.]

[Holly?]

[Holly?] - Ty's here. I'll call you back.

- It would have been nice for you to show up today.

- How was it?

- It sucked.

- Well, now... see...

That's why I can't go to funerals.

They're just too difficult.

How's Alyssa?

I can't imagine what she's going through...

Losing a child must be the worst thing in the world.

I don't know what I'd do if I lost you.

- I don't want to lose you either.

- Come here.

- [Hi, this is the Philly PD.] - Yeah, thank you for calling me back.

Um, I think I know

who that was that you guys found in the park...

And, well, the paper said that she had a tattoo of a butterfly,

and the girl I know had one like that on her hip. - [Uh-huh.]

- And I haven't seen her for a few days. - [This girl has a name?]

- Yeah, well, her name is Becca. She was a dancer at the Lucky Kitty.

- [Can you come down to the morgue and ID her?]

- ID her? - [Yeah.]

- No. I don't even know if Becca was her real name...

- [We'll keep it confidential, ma'am.] - Of course. I understand.

I'll, um... I'll come down after my shift is over. - [Good.]

- This says he had 18 times the regular dosage

in his system.

- How many times you're gonna read that, Mom?

- Eighteen times, Danni!

I guess he meant to do it.

- What's that?

- I don't know. Something addressed to Jason from the...

Sethfield Ballet company?

- Uh... I bet it's ballet tickets.

- What ballet tickets?

- He wanted to take you for your birthday.

He asked me if it was a good gift.

- They were purchased two days before.

- It was really sweet.

He wanted to take you on a date

because you hadn't been on one since you and John broke up.

- Honey, don't you think this is just a little odd?

- That he got you tickets?

- He bought tickets. He made plans knowing he's not gonna be around to use them...

- I'm sure he wasn't thinking about that, Mom,

when he decided to take the pills.

- No, think about this, Danni. It doesn't make sense.

He was getting over Karina... The Whitdale letter came what, a week earlier?

Something must have happened those last two days.

- Mom doesn't understand why he would take his own life.

She just thinks there's more to it, I guess.

I don't know. - I get it.

My cousin did the same thing when his daughter committed suicide...

He became obsessed with trying to figure out why.

- Did he?

- No.

And focusing on it made it really hard for him to move on.

- Yeah, but not asking questions doesn't make it any easier.

- You know, people feel really guilty when someone in their family commits suicide.

If your mom finds 'the reason', it's not as much her fault.

- You could be totally right.

I know she's been feeling guilty.

But so do I.

- You shouldn't. I mean, suicide

is the leading cause of teenage death in this country.

They say one in five kids consider it.

Danni, the sooner you accept

that you'll probably never understand what was going through Jason's head,

the sooner you'll find closure.

- "Lucky Kitty"...?

- "Lucky Kitty"?

Looks like a strip club downtown. - Yeah.

So what was it doing in Jason's pocket?

He's way too young to get in there.

- That doesn't mean anything.

Sometimes, they don't even check IDs. - Well, you know what's weird?

It was in the shirt he was wearing the night he came home so late.

And he was very evasive about where he was.

- So he snuck into a strip club. So what?

I'm sure tons of high school kids do that, Mom.

- I just think there's a lot that we don't know about what Jason was doing...

Where he was going, who he was seeing.

- Why are you doing this, Mom?

- Because...

Maybe this has something to do with his death.

- You got to let this go.

Going on some wild goose chase to try to prove to yourself

that there's something more to his suicide, it's not gonna help you get past it.

- Honey, I'm not doing this because I feel guilty.

I'm doing this because something is not right.

And I'm gonna find out what it is.

Look... I'll be fine. Don't worry.

I'll see you later.

[Phone ringing]

Holly? - [Alyssa.] - Hey... How are you?

- I'm good. How are you?

- I'm exhausted, to be honest. Listen, is Ty home?

I called the restaurant but they said he called in sick the last few days.

- Yeah, he's been out of sorts since the funeral.

He's here. Would you like to talk to him?

- Actually, I'm close to your neighbourhood. Do you mind if I just stop by?

- [Of course. You're always welcome.]

- Great. See you in a bit.

- I have no idea where he got it.

- Ty... Look. I'm not trying to get you in trouble here.

It's just...

If you and Jason maybe somehow got some fake IDs and...

- No, honestly, Mrs. Harris. I've never been to that club.

I mean, if Jason went, it wasn't with me.

- Well, I found this in the pocket of the shirt he was wearing

the night the two of you went out and got home so late.

The night of the Masterson party.

- Yeah, the night we went out for pizza...

- Honey, are you sure nothing happened that night?

- Nothing. I swear.

- So you have no idea where he got that card. - No!

- Okay.

Thanks for your time. - Sure.

You know you're welcome to stay for dinner. - Thanks, Holly.

But Danni is gonna be home in about an hour. - Oh...

- Hope you feel better soon. - Yeah, thanks.

- Hey, Danni? - Yep?

- Look at this. They mention that club

your mom found the business card for. See?

The Lucky Kitty.

That girl they just found dead in the ravine, that's where she worked.

- The last night that dancer was seen there

was the same night that Jason had that card.

- You're right.

- What do you think this means?

He couldn't have had anything to do with her murder.

- Maybe he saw something.

Or heard something, I don't know.

Ty swore to me that they weren't there that night!

But he was very ambiguous about what they did do...

- Do you think he's lying?

- There's one way to find out.

I'm gonna go down there. - To the strip club?! - Mm-hm.

- To do what? - Ask around. Maybe somebody remembers seeing them.

- Mom, that's crazy. Do you know how many guys go in and out of that place, on any given night?

Probably hundreds. - How many high school kids do you think get in?

Not many.

[Rock music]

- Hi. Can I help you? - Can I ask you a question?

- Sure. - Had you ever seen this kid in here?

- Looks young. - Yeah... Seventeen.

- Hm... Well, sometimes, these kids use fakes to get in here,

but no, I've never seen him. Nice-looking kid, though.

- Yeah.

What about this guy? Has he been in?

- No. Never seen him. Oh!

This guy... He has. - Who?

- Him. - He has?

- A few times. Not for a while, though. - Are you sure?

- Yeah. Last time he was here, he sat in that corner table over there

throwing his money around like he won the lottery.

- But the other guys weren't with him. - Not when I was working.

Look. I'm curious. Why are you asking?

- This one... had a card from this club on him.

The last night that dancer was seen here.

I'm trying to figure out if there's a connection.

- Well, I was working that night,

and I can promise you none of these guys were in here.

- You really think you'd remember? With so many people?

- Mm-hmm. It was a Wednesday night. Wednesdays are slow.

Besides, Becca left early.

She said she had a private party. She wasn't here that long.

- A private party? Where?

- The police asked the same thing. I don't know. She said...

I don't know. It was a bachelor party. Or no, wait...

- What? - She said the guy was too young to get married.

- Did she say anything else?

- No.

- Thanks.

- So I... I don't understand. Why don't we just build the parking structure behind it?

- Well, that's a great question, Cody. I'll show you exactly why that wouldn't work.

We got a left-turn lane here. - Okay.

- It's the only access on the property... [Doorbell]

- I've got it. - Okay.

- Alyssa! - Hi! - Please, come in.

- I, uh, hope I'm not catching you at a bad time.

- Oh, not at all! Come on in.

How you doing? I'm so sorry we couldn't make it to the funeral.

- Thanks. And thanks for the flowers. They were beautiful.

- Of course. - Is, um... Cody here?

I was hoping to talk to him.

- Yeah. He's, uh... he's in the den with Curt.

I'm sure it'll be okay. Come with me.

[Knocking]

- Mrs. Harris, I'm so sorry for your loss. - Thank you.

- She's here to see Cody. - Hi, Mrs. Harris.

- Cody. Gabe.

- Have a seat. - Sit, please.

- I need to ask you about something. - Sure.

- Ever since Jason died, I've felt like there's...

something about his death that isn't adding up.

- In what way?

- I know he didn't get into Whitdale and I know he broke up with his girlfriend,

but... he was a strong kid.

- So you think there's something else?

- Two days before he died... the night of your party...

- Mm-hmm. - He came home really late and...

that was the first time he started acting different.

He wouldn't tell me where he was. Neither would Ty.

But I think something happened that really affected him.

- Like what? - I don't know exactly, but...

I found this in his pocket. - Lucky Kitty?

What is it? - A strip club.

I took a photo of Jason down there tonight to show to the bartender to see if maybe

she'd seen him in there. - Had she?

- Actually, no.

But it was a photo of the four of you guys,

and she recognized you. - Me?

- Cody? - You ever been in there?

- No... Don't you have to be 21 to be in a place like that?

- Age limits aren't always enforced.

- Well, she made a mistake. I've never been in there.

- Possibly... But there's more to it.

The night Jason had that card

was the same night that a dancer from the club disappeared.

She went by the name 'Becca'. - Is that the girl that they found in the ravine?

- Yeah. And the bartender said

that she left early that night to dance for a private party.

And the guy who hired her was very young.

- Okay. Hold on a sec.

What exactly are you implying?

- Well, don't you think there are a lot of coincidences here?

Jason came home late the same night

that dancer disappeared, acting strangely,

and he had the card from the club on him.

I'm hoping you boys can help me connect the dots.

- Cody? You don't know anything about this, do you?

- No. Nothing. - I'm sorry, but... I think you do.

- Are you calling my son a liar? - Curt...

- You don't know what it's like to lose a child until it happens to you.

I just need to understand why Jason did what he did, so I can move on!

- Alyssa... I know you were hoping for something more,

but he can't explain what he doesn't know.

- Mrs. Harris,

I wish I could help you but I can't.

- Honestly, Cody? 'Cause I think you can.

- Alright. You know what? That's enough! Now, I'm sorry for your loss,

but I'm not gonna allow you to come into my house and accuse my son!

- He was there! They saw you at the club, Cody!

And I'm gonna talk to Ty. And I'm gonna talk to everybody

and I'm gonna find out the truth whether you tell me or not!

- Alyssa... - I mean it.

- You need to leave. - This is not the end!

- Wait!

I hired the stripper. - What? - She's right.

I'll tell you exactly what happened. - Cody! Don't say another word.

- No, Dad, Dad... She needs to know the truth.

Jason and Ty met me and Gabe at the lake house that night.

I hired the stripper

and she showed up. She stayed for a little over an hour.

We were having fun. We were drinking until...

Becca and Jason got into a fight.

Then they went into the hallway. We could hear them fighting.

And I was gonna go out there, but before I could,

he pushed her down the stairs.

Jason felt horrible afterward.

He couldn't believe what he'd just done...

So we made a pact that night to protect him!

So we hid the body. We promised never to tell.

- Jason pushed her? - I know... It was wrong.

But Jason was our friend. We didn't want him to go to jail.

- Gabe? You agreed to hide the body to protect Jason?

- Yeah. Like Cody said, he was our friend.

- Mrs. Harris,

I know you needed answers as to why Jason killed himself...

But after he died,

we didn't see a reason

to ruin his memory.

I'm sorry.

- He wouldn't do that.

- Mrs. Harris...

Believe me when I tell you we are just as shocked as you are.

- I don't know what to think.

But my gut tells me this is not right.

- You know what? I've got one question for you. What the hell were you thinking?

You should have told me about this! Now is there anything else you want to tell me, hm?

Anything else you forgot to mention? - No, Dad. That's what happened.

- That's it? - That's what happened. - Mm-hmm.

- Gabe? Why do I get the feeling there's something more you need to tell us?

- There isn't anything else. - I asked Gabe!

Answer my question, Gabe. - Gabriel,

answer the question!

- Cody? - Okay!

Okay...

I did it.

- What?

- I pushed her.

- You pushed her. Why? Why did you push her?

- She was pissing me off.

- She was pissing you off.

You know what, son?

For a moment,

I thought you had a brain

in your head.

How could you put us in this situation?

How... could you... - Dad, I'm sorry! - ...put us in this situation?

- I'm sorry! - You're sorry? - I'm sorry!

- It doesn't matter, Curt.

What's done is done.

- You disgust me.

- What we need to do right now is focus on how to handle this.

Ty was there?

- Yeah... - Then the first thing I'm gonna do is call Holly

and make sure he tells the same story they told Alyssa.

- Please make that phone call.

You had better hope

that we can contain this.

- [And Ty could go to jail, too.] - What?!

- [That's why we have to get our stories straight.]

[Am I making myself clear?] - Y-yes.

- [We're counting on you.] - Um...

- This is very important, Holly. There'll be hell to pay for your family

[if Ty doesn't back up what Cody said.]

- I understand, Dominique.

- Make sure he understands too.

- I will.

- Good. I'll be in touch.

He won't tell.

- He's lying.

I don't think for a minute that Jason pushed that girl down the stairs and killed her.

- But Mom, what if he did? He would have felt so incredibly guilty.

It explains why he might want to kill himself.

- Danni... Can you even remember a time

when Jason got mad enough to even raise his voice?

He's just like your father. They got angry... They got quiet.

Which used to drive me nuts.

I don't buy it.

- Well, if it didn't happen that way, then how did it happen?

- Oh, I think it happened exactly the way Cody described it.

I just don't think Jason's the one who killed her.

Think about it.

Jason never would've asked the other guys to cover up for him.

He would've turned himself in.

- I don't think Ty would have either. - So that leaves Cody and Gabe.

Now, if Cody or Gabe pushed that girl,

how do you think Jason would've reacted? - Well, he would've freaked out.

- Mm-hm. And what about this little pact they made to protect the one who did it?

- It would've taken a lot to convince him...

- Which I think explains Jason's strange behaviour when he came home so late that night.

- Do you think that's the thing that he wanted to tell us but couldn't?

- Or...

if Jason wanted to expose them, and knew he couldn't...

And I think the only person who really knows what happened that night is Ty.

Ty, please. Just tell me the truth.

Is Cody's version what really happened?

- I told you guys everything I know.

- Ty...

Tell them the truth. Not what Dominique wanted you to say,

but the real truth.

- Cody did it.

- Was it his idea to hide the body?

- Yeah. Jason didn't want to.

I mean, I didn't want to either, you know,

but I knew there was no winning that argument against Cody.

- So Jason refused to go along.

- Cody convinced him.

But he was having a really hard time with it.

- Ty...

Do you really believe that Jason committed suicide?

Or is it possible that Cody and Gabe just got scared he was gonna talk?

- Yeah, that's what I figured after I heard what happened. But I don't know for sure.

Are they capable of it?

I think that whole family is pretty much capable of anything.

- Well, if they did do this,

do you have any idea how it might have happened?

- Jason overdosed on a drug called Arlovox. It's a sleeping pill.

Did Cody and Gabe have access to that, do you know?

- Not that I know of.

- I'm sure there's drugs being dealt at that school. I mean, there was when I was there.

- Yeah, but nothing like that. You know, pot, ecstasy...

But, I mean, nobody buys prescription sleeping pills.

- What about a prescription? Cody's 18. He could've gotten one from a doctor.

- Yeah, you know, if Cody wanted one, he could just make one himself.

- You mean like on his computer?

- Yeah. Yeah, he's really good at that. He altered my report card for me once.

- What?! - Sophomore year.

- Even if he could pull that off, those prescriptions are called in.

The pharmacy has to confirm with the doctor's office before filling the order.

- No, see... That's really easy too. He just changes the number

to his cell phone. And then, when he sees that the pharmacy is calling,

he acts like it's the doctor's office and just confirms it. - Ugh...

- I can't believe that's even possible. - It's possible.

- Well, how can we even check? There must be what?

A hundred pharmacies in Philadelphia? And they don't give out patient information

anyway... - I mean, the prescription could still be on his computer,

but I have no idea how we would access it.

I mean, even if we did, he probably deleted it.

- That's not exactly true. - What?

- There might be a way to recover the file. - How?

- Um, my friend at work-- Shari. - Mm-hmm.

- Her boyfriend is like this computer guy. Companies pay him to hack into their systems

so they can test their firewalls.

If he can get in, they know they need better security.

- So what does this guy need?

Because if it's Cody's IP address, I can get that for you.

- Thank you.

- Yeah, I could talk Aaron into that... - [Thank you.]

- Let me call you back. Okay, babe? - [Okay.]

- Alright. Bye. Sorry...

Gorgeous.

Hi, guys. This is Aaron. - Hey.

- Nice to meet you, Aaron. - Hi.

- Wow... What a setup!

- You said you got his IP? - Oh yeah.

Here.

- Cool.

- So how does this work? - Once I find his IP,

I can access his computer remotely. - Really?

- Isn't this great, you guys? Aaron built this program himself.

- It shouldn't take too long.

- What is that?

- It's checking to see what Internet security system he's using, but...

once I get through, I can go directly to his desktop.

- Then you'll be able to access his files? - Exactly.

- You did it! - That's Cody's computer?

- Yeah. - Ha!

- Okay, I'll start with his browser...

Look here. I can see all the Internet sites he's visited.

- We're looking for anything

that might mention sleeping pills. - Yeah. Arlovox.

That's what the autopsy report showed.

- Okay. Let me see...

Those sites right there... Information about your drug. See? Arlovox.

And it looks like

this was all done the day before your son died, Mrs. Harris...

- Is there anything else?

- I'm gonna check out his files.

- But what if he erased them? - It doesn't matter.

I can do a root data repair on the hard drive, recover anything that might've been deleted.

This could take a little while, though.

- You did the right thing, Ty. You did.

- You think?

- I'm sure.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- Oh... Wait a second.

I think this is it.

- A prescription pad.

I think you're right, Mom.

- He did it.

He did it.

- This is a good fake.

I'm not surprised the pharmacy didn't catch it. Yid a good job.

- Thanks.

- So it's enough for you to arrest them?

- Will Ty Benoit corroborate everything you told me?

- Yes. He said he'll come in the minute that you call him.

- Well then, we'll get a search warrant for the Masterson lake house.

Even a single strand of hair would prove that the girl was there that night,

and that would give us a motive for your son's murder.

- Is there anything else that we can do? - No, that's it for now,

Mrs. Harris. We'll take it from here.

Cody Masterson? - Yeah...

- You're under arrest for the murder

of Jason Harris. You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you by the court.

Do you understand these rights?

Let's go.

[Students whispering]

[Phone ringing] - Hello?

- [Hi, Alyssa.] - Hey, Jennifer.

Good to hear from you. - [I know your phone must be ringing off the hook,]

[but I just wanted to call and see how you're doing.] - Everything's good. Thanks.

- [You must be so relieved this whole thing is finally over.]

- Yes. We were very glad to get the verdict.

- [I understand. Look, I'm here for you, honey. Whatever you need.]

- Thank you. You have no idea how much that means.

- [You have a fabulous Christmas now.]

- Yeah. Happy holidays to you too.

- [Okay, bye.] - Bye-bye.

Oh, my God! I love this one. Remember when he made this?

A Christmas play in the second grade...

- He hated that costume. - Ah, he made a cute reindeer.

I just couldn't get the damn antlers to stay on. - Yeah...

- They fell off right in the middle of the show. - I remember that.

- He was so cute.

You were pretty cute yourself in this outfit. - Oh...

- Look at that face.

You and me, kid.

- I love you, Mom. - Back at you.
