- You want to talk about problems?

Let's start with yours, let's talk about Rod.

- Stacy please--

- And the crappy way he treats you

but of course you never see a thing.

- I swear I don't know what's with you anymore.

You're either out with Bobby or moping in your room--

- But you let him control your whole life.

At least I have someone who loves me.

- You said you'd be outside.

- Stacy please, we've always been friends.

- Maybe I don't want you to be my friend.

Maybe I want you to be my mother.

- She's 16.

Okay?

Come on, we're gonna be late.

Laura, let's go.

- [Stacy] Oh my god.

What are you doing in here, how'd you get here?

- I had to see you.

Stacy, I swear-- - No, I want you out now.

- I don't blame you for hating me.

But if we're going to break up I just, let me explain.

- What do you mean, explain what?

- About my family.

I didn't want you to know.

See,

my dad's a drunk, all right?

And he'd come home

yelling.

Almost every night, he'd find something wrong,

some dirty dish or some stupid thing

my mother would say and he'd beat her.

I'd lie down and I'd listen to her cry.

There was nothing I could do,

but she'd never leave the bastard.

Then she started drinking and then

everything got so out of control.

- Why didn't you tell me? - Because that's not us.

Don't you see?

We're different, what we have is so much better than that.

When I think about losing you...

If only my family weren't so screwed up.

- Yeah, mine too.

It's like my mom is jealous of what we have.

She doesn't understand anything.

- No one can.

That's why we gotta stick together because

when you love somebody,

you never give up on 'em.

- Don't worry about me, I'm not giving up.

- [Bobby] I love you so much.

- This is between us, okay?

- You are not going with him, you hear me?

He treats you like crap.

- Well you don't know what he's been through.

Besides, you don't give up on someone you love.

- You call that love?

I don't even think he likes you.

- Well then you don't know what love is.

(tires screeching)

- Then just go. - You push me,

you push me, you push me! - Well you're free to go, Rod.

- Tell Stacy to come say hello after she's done.

We've got some catching up to do.

- I think she's pretty tired, mom.

- Is everything all right?

- A fight with her boyfriend I guess.

- Oh.

I remember some of those,

all that life and death stuff right?

(relaxed ensemble music)

- You gotta tell your mom, we'll do it together.

Maybe if I just-- - No, you can't.

He said he was sorry, he wants to change.

- But he won't and you know that.

- Yeah but if I could just-- - Stacy, would you stop it?

You keep acting like this is your fault.

Can't you see that it's his?

You know what's the hardest thing of all?

When you've been friends with somebody for so long

and you think that it'll be that way forever.

- Things were so good. (telephone rings)

- Hello.

How did,

no she can't.

Because she's sleeping.

No, you cannot come over.

I gotta go.

- It's like he always knows where I am,

who I'm with, what I'm doing.

God, if I could just get away.

- Stac, listen to me, everything's gonna be okay.

You'll talk to him this week, you'll tell him it's over.

Kim, she has this birthday party on Saturday night.

Bobby won't be there, we'll celebrate.

You, me and Val just like the old times.

This is my fault too, I pushed you into this.

But Saturday it'll be all over.

(telephone rings)

What?

Oh, hi Ms. Collins.

Yeah hold on, she's right here.

- Hi mom.

- Honey, I know it's late but I just

had to tell you tonight about me and Rod.

I finally took your advice.

- You mean you ended it?

- Yeah.

I was really scared.

But you should've seen the expression

on his face when I really stood up for myself.

- That's great mom, I can't,

I'm really proud of you.

- I should've taken your advice a long time ago.

I really love you, honey. - I love you.

Okay bye.

- She dumped him?

Saturday night, okay?

- [Bobby] Come on Stacy, I said I was sorry.

- I know and I know that you care about me

but it's not just what happened at the dance.

- Look, we'll take a drive and talk it over, I promise--

- Bobby I mean it, we have to stop seeing each other.

- Wait a minute-- - Look.

I need to be alone, okay?

My life is so messed up, I don't talk to any of my friends.

I'm behind in all my classes, I just want my life back.

- But you're my life.

- Look,

I still want to be friends.

- I could never give you up.

Yeah.

- Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Don't worry Stac, I got it.

- She really looks awful.

She's probably crushed that Bobby's not here tonight.

- Tony said they broke up.

- Oh yeah, like we believe that.

- It was a good try.

- I shouldn't be here.

- Yes you should.

- I just keep seeing his face everywhere

and he looked so sad. - We are not

discussing that tonight. - I know, I know.

It's just that everything's so tied into Bobby.

How can I just-- - Nicki, you're next.

- It's just,

it's the first week.

- I know, I just wish I could go away somewhere you know?

It's so hard.

- You know what Stac, it's a party and I think if

you're gonna talk about Bobby, I think you should leave.

- This party blows but I've got my car.

Do you want me to come over?

We can watch that show you like.

- Carla, wait.

Is Stacy there?

Yeah, who's she with?

A guy?

- Maybe, I don't know.

Hey, do you wanna try out that new place?

- Come on Carla, let me talk to Stacy.

- Yeah okay, hold on.

Hey Stacy, it's for you.

- It's for me? - Yeah.

- Hello?

- Hey Stac.

- Bobby.

No I quit, yeah I turned in my shoes.

- I miss you.

It feels strange not being together.

Stacy, I know it was my fault.

I just, I hope you meant it that we can still be friends.

- Yeah, I want to.

I want to be friends.

(ominous violin tones)

Are you still there?

- Yeah.

I was just thinking about that haircut you promised.

Because if you're done there and you want to come over--

- Come over to your house? - Yeah.

You know, take the tour.

I'm just here with Vince and he's working today.

I'm trying to be friends.

- Yeah okay, I'll wait outside.

Yeah, well you better be nice

- Hello?

- [Laura] Nicki it's Ms. Collins, can I speak to Stacy?

- No why, isn't she there?

- You mean she didn't stay over last night?

- Wait a second, you mean she never came home last night?

- No

and Bobby just called and said that

they argued last night and she walked off.

- Okay don't worry, I'll find her, I'll go right now.

- I mean

where would she go?

- Where's Stacy? - She's not here.

I looked everywhere.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry about everything.

- [Nicki] What happened last night?

- She,

she came over and gave me a haircut, then

we had a fight, she started crying

about going away

and

being alone and then she took off.

We've gotta find her.

- We'll find her, she's probably

just at like the mall or maybe a restaurant downtown.

We should check with her mom, though.

- It's my fault, I just wanted to talk to her.

I'm so sorry.

- Well when she comes back,

you oughta remember that.

(anxious violin tones)

- Then I searched those shelters out by the golf course.

Wait,

she mentioned some family with a beach house.

- Yeah the DeAngelos, I called.

I called everyone.

The police told me to wait for 24 hours.

- What about family out of town?

Maybe she took a bus. - No.

I don't know, she's never done anything like this before.

- I just hope she doesn't catch a ride.

(anxious ensemble music)

I'll get everyone to help, we'll have her home tonight.

- [Anderson] Does she drink, do drugs?

Ever talk of suicide? - No, not Stacy, never.

- You said she's been angry.

- Well not angry, I mean we get along.

- [Anderson] Any arguments lately?

- Little ones, you know.

I guess after 10 hours of work, you don't always--

- Then she'd run off? - No.

She's never done anything like this before.

- Did you talk to her before the party?

- I called yesterday morning, she wasn't there.

She's been staying with her girlfriend Nicki.

- What about the boyfriend, this Bobby Tennison?

- What about him? - I don't know.

They have a good relationship, are they happy?

- They're always together.

- Lots of emotions, fights?

- No.

They get along.

She's a good kid.

It's just that I don't know where she is, that's all.

(school bell rings)

- Bobby called the whole team and he told me he went out

to the golf course last night and searched with flashlights.

- I bet she's staying in a motel somewhere.

- So you think she ran away?

- What is that supposed to mean?

I mean we know she ran away.

- [Friend] Bobby said she seemed pretty

stressed out but he thinks she'll be back soon.

Hey Ton, crazy night huh?

- Hey Nick, there's a cop downstairs

talking to Bobby and Carla.

(anxious violin, flute music)

- [Reporter] The investigation into the weekend

disappearance of a local high school girl intensifies.

16 year old Stacy Collins may have left

the area after a dispute with a classmate

but sources now say they're looking into

a similar incident last June when a girl

seen hitchhiking on route 97 was later found with her--

(somber violin, piano music)

(doorbell buzzes) (light knocking)

- Mrs. Tennison? - Yes.

- I'm Laura Collins, Stacy's mom.

- Did she come back? - No, she didn't.

I need to talk to Bobby.

- He's down the hall to the left.

- Thank you.

Three days without even a call, does that make sense?

- We just gotta hope we hear something.

- [Laura] You were the last one to see her.

Don't lie to me, something must have happened.

- I told you the truth.

- To run off like that alone in the dark

and you didn't try to stop her?

- I thought she'd call you or Nicki.

- There must be something you're not telling me.

- I won't do this anymore, guys he hit her.

We all saw that

and we all know that he could've done something worse.

- She's right, when I saw him at the police

station yesterday, he had this look in his eye.

I swear we're

closer than brothers

and it's like I don't know him anymore.

- It's like that night at the dance,

he hit her in front of everybody.

- He didn't even care if people saw.

- All week he's totally calm.

He's not even worried that Stacy's gone.

- It's 'cause he thinks he can get away with anything.

- Is everybody done?

Because I've got something to say.

Bobby's always been there for you, always stood up for you.

Now you can't wait to turn against him.

Well I'm not gonna listen.

- Carla, what happened that night?

Did you see them fight?

- It was none of my business.

- Well did you see her run out,

did you even try to stop her?

Carla, what happened to Stacy?

- They argued and she ran out and that's all I know.

- Well I think you're lying.

- Then you can go to hell.

You were nobody until Bobby made you his friend.

- You know what, this is not some stupid test about loyalty!

If Stacy is hurt,

you owe her that much.

- I told you what I know

and from now on, you can just stay away from me.

(somber violin music)

- We'll just tell 'em what we know, right?

Whatever happened to Stacy, that's all we can do.

(dramatic mid tempo drumbeat)

- Get over, yeah!

Yeah.

(crowd cheering)

- [Crowd] Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby!

(whistle blares)

(classic rock tones)

(electronic beeping)

- So what's he like?

I know you're hanging out together.

Is he just a tough guy, is he a big drinker?

Does he act wild?

(telephone rings)

Yeah?

- [Woman] A man on the line with

some information on the missing Collins girl.

- Yeah okay, put him through. - Yes sir.

- Yeah, yeah this is Anderson, you got some information?

- [Vince] Yeah.

Just

go look out by the lake.

- Okay and a number where you can be reached?

- [Vince] Just go look out by the lake, okay?

- Yeah I will but just in case I need to get in touch.

(anxious violin, rock tones)

- [Officer] What about that hill over there?

- [Officer] Park back on the green line there.

- Gentlemen, why don't you roam around

in that scrub and see what you can come up with?

Officers, there's a cove on the other side of the beach.

Why don't you make your way there, see what you can see?

(anxious ensemble music)

(knocking)

- Nicki.

- There's something I need to tell you.

- I can understand if your daughter's afraid.

But as long as she's cooperates with

us now, you have nothing to worry about.

Ms. Collins.

Do you know a boy named Vince Fortner?

- [Nicki] Yeah Bobby's friend, why?

- Well apparently he was with Bobby on Saturday night.

When Stacy ran out, Vince went after her.

We're looking for him now, why don't you come in?

- If only she hadn't come back.

I told her to break it off, to stay away.

- But she wouldn't listen.

- She defended him.

Once she told me that if she just learned to love him better

and didn't give up, then he would treat her better too.

- I saw bruises but she told me they were nothing.

- There was like this wall

that you just could not break through and

you'd never think something could happen, you know?

(officer knocking)

- Excuse me please.

- One night she came home really late.

She was freezing cold.

She looked so sad all bundled up.

I asked her what was wrong and she said they'd had a fight.

I could've stopped it then.

Why didn't I see it then?

- [Vince] All right, all right.

Hey look man, I'm walking as fast as I can.

- [Nicki] That sounds like Vince.

- What did you do to her? - I didn't do anything.

- Where's my daughter? - I swear to you,

I didn't do anything, what are you talking about?

- I'll tell you Vince, it doesn't look good.

Carla said you went after Stacy

and Bobby, well Bobby says you never came back.

- What?

- Now if there's something you'd

like to tell me, now is the time.

- All right.

Bobby, he was wack man, like screaming at her and stuff.

So he said he wanted to go out to the lake.

Then he got real calm, he said he wanted to talk.

- I did it.

- What are you talking about?

- If I can't have her, no one's gonna.

- Bobby, that's crazy.

What did you do, man?

What the hell did you do?

- I'm going to be honest with you, Bobby.

Here's what I think happened.

You had a fight.

Got carried away. - No.

No I told you, I didn't-- - Just listen.

You had a fight, you're a strong guy.

Maybe you got her behind the neck,

one of those wrestling moves I bet.

Just trying to calm her down, I understand.

Accidents happen. - I swear to you,

I love Stacy, I'd never hurt her.

- Fine, fine but this was an accident.

Now here's the thing.

Tell me now and I can help you.

But when we find her body and come up with

your prints, I gotta lock you up for murder.

So think about this, Bobby look at me.

I want you to seriously think

if there's something you need to say.

It's bothering you, see that's what happens.

It starts to bother you.

You know where she is, help yourself.

Tell me the truth, Bobby.

- I told you,

you're wrong about me and Stacy.

- Come on. - You don't understand.

- Bobby, it'll eat you up Bobby.

- Can't you see I'm mourning too?

If you'd just listen-- - No no no, you listen!

I know you had a fight, I know you hurt her.

Do you want to go away for the rest of your life?

Because I know you killed her.

Where is she Bobby, where'd you put her?

Where is Stacy?

Tell me where she is!

(anxious violin, light piano tones)

Think, Bobby.

- Stacy please, you don't know how hard I've been trying.

It doesn't have to end like this.

- Bobby, I don't want you to be mad or anything.

I want us both to be happy. - Well then say it.

Promise you'll stay with me.

- I promise I'll never forget what we had, that's it.

Take me home now.

- No, let me hold you.

Just a hug.

Just

one last kiss.

You promised we'd be together forever.

Bobby stop. - We'd be together forever.

- Stop. - Together forever.

- No.

(Stacy screams)

Bobby stop it!

No, Bobby.

Stop, no.

Bobby I love you, Bobby stop!

(anxious mid tempo drumbeat)

(helicopter whirring)

- I think we found something.

(truck beeping)

(police radio chattering)

- [Officer] Got about 10 minutes more.

- [Anderson] We'll let the coroner make an assessment.

You get the photographer on the line?

- [Female Officer] Right away.

- Yeah, just tie it off. - Okay.

- [Officer] You know what, hold off on it.

- No, this is not Stacy.

It can't be Stacy.

Oh god, no.

- Ma'am, I can't let you over there.

- Oh no!

(somber violin music)

(Laura wailing)

- [Prosecutor] During that time they were together,

did you ever see Bobby hit Stacy?

- [Carla] Yes.

- [Prosecutor] What were the circumstances

that would lead to his hitting her?

Shall I repeat the question? - No.

Sometimes he'd hit her but because she would aggravate him.

He'd tell her to do something and she wouldn't do it.

Just that kinda stuff.

She'd do it to get attention,

even though he told her not to.

- I remember one day her neck was bruised really bad.

So I was like that's it, I'm gonna talk to Bobby.

- I just, I just thought that

if he hurt her, she would leave him.

I mean who's gonna stay with a guy who hits you?

He can't force her to stay.

Right?

- And besides, Bobby's gone out with lots of girls.

Nothing ever happened to them.

There was just no way he would hurt her.

- It's like you know how guys are always talking,

what they did to a girl or what they're gonna do?

But everybody knows that's just talking,

it's not real

and Bobby you know, he was always our friend.

- So when I saw him hit her, there was a part of me that,

okay I should've stopped it.

But I'm just thinking this is Bobby.

- "I love him."

That's all she said.

Whatever

he did, it was like

she was under his control, you know?

I begged her to let me tell but

she called it betrayal

and I did not want to lose her.

I did not want to lose Stacy.

I didn't want to lose my friend.
