accident. The whole thing was an
accident.

Truth is, I did hit him, but he deserved
it.

He's been unconscious for almost 24
hours.

You have

any idea what it's like to spend four
years of your life writing a play?

He is Wiggy's Dog Pink.

I don't get it.

Just don't get it.

I don't get it.

You don't get what?

Seven, what are you doing here?

I reckon I'm doing the same thing you
are, Chris.

Looking for a bus.

We're still thinking.

We've been here over an hour.

Uh -uh.

I suppose the cab is out of the
question.

Is there any word on Jesse?

Still in the hospital.

It's a pretty bad concussion.

He's been unconscious for almost 24
hours.

If he doesn't come out of it soon...

What are you going to do?

What I'm supposed to do?

Report my findings to the board.

It's at best.

The trouble is... I'm not sure what my
findings are.

I can't figure it out.

Mr.

Tarrant.

You know, none of this would have
happened if you hadn't come to the

I still can't believe it.

It was late yesterday afternoon.

School was over.

So I stayed late to do some studying.

And on my way home,

I saw Nicole and Mr. Torrance.

They were looking at something.

Couldn't tell when it was at first.

It was Jesse.

It was like I told you at the hearing.

Bracelet?

No, no, I don't know anything about a
bracelet.

Like I said, I saw Velasquez laying
there in the pit, unconscious.

I don't know how the...

The traffic case got busted up either.

I certainly didn't think I'd be sitting
here testifying as a character witness

against him.

Or is it for him? I'm not sure which.

How well do I know Mr. Torrance?

Not very.

Seemed like a nice enough fellow.

Nicer than I would have been had
somebody knocked over everything I was

carrying.

He was very excited about a new play he
had written that we were going to try

out here at the school.

That's all he ever seemed to talk about.

Drama or comedy?

Oh, drama.

Definitely drama.

At any rate, it's a pity. A pity all of
this had to happen.

Yes, I saw Mr.

Torrance. It was right after the whole
thing happened, I was...

I suppose you're wondering how I knew it
was after it happened.

Well, I don't suppose it's any secret
around here, so I might as well say it.

I'm psychic.

Have been since I was a girl.

Well, anyway, I was leaving the office
and I sensed something.

Something wrong.

That's when I saw him.

He was tearing something.

At first, I couldn't see what it was,
but when I looked more closely, I

it was his manuscript.

I don't know what else to say.

You all think that I hit the kid. I
might as well say that I did.

Truth is, I did hit him, but he deserved
it.

I thought not coming here would be a
good thing.

Give me the opportunity to direct my
play. That is all that I cared about.

That and finding the girl to play Lisa.

When I first saw Nicole Chapman, I knew
that I had.

As I watched her, I realized that this
was not any 16 -year -old kid.

She was a woman.

She was. Lisa.

You're running with me.

Don't touch the ground.

With a restless heart, not to change the
bound.

The sky is burning.

I see a flame.

Though your world is changing, I will be
the same.

I can't escape I'm a play to love Play
to love

I

can't escape

I offered her the part immediately, and
she accepted it. She was thrilled. She

was excited. She couldn't thank me
enough. I read it. I think it's

and I'd like to audition.

Well, you just did. I'd love for you to
play the part of Lisa.

Really? No.

You're kidding.

Now, believe me, I've never been more
serious in my life.

Well, I don't know what to say.

Well, say you'll do it.

Okay, I'll do it.

Terrific.

I didn't know who Velasquez was at the
time, but I knew he was a problem.

His jealousy was apparent.

I made up my mind that it would not
stand in my way.

In fact, I was going to use it.

I don't like the way you two look at
each other.

And just how do we look at each other?

Like there's something going on. There
is nothing going on. You lie to me. I

tell when you're lying. I am so tired of
your jealousy. Why don't you just grow

up? All right, all right, all right.
Hold it, hold it. That was great,

That was great.

Really? Yeah, yeah. I'm really starting
to believe you as Lisa. I'm starting to

see the fire in you now.

Oh, God.

You know, I think that Jesse and I are
really starting to connect on that one.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jesse, you're really
coming along.

I'll tell you something, though. I want
to see more of the madness of this guy.

You know, he's somebody who lives in his
emotions, not in his head.

I'm working on it. Good, good.

Nicole. Yeah.

Just wait a minute. I've got something
for you.

What's that?

Oh, just a little token of my
appreciation for bringing Lisa to life.

Okay.

Mr. Torrance, this is beautiful.

But I can't accept it. Of course you
can.

You already have.

No, really, it's too late. I don't want
to hear any more about it. This is

yours.

Don't you insult me.

Okay.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Jesse.

Jesse?

Where'd he go?

But I just used the bracelet as a device
to get Jesse going.

Had I known how deeply it was going to
affect him, I never would have given it

to Nicole.

Jesse!

Yesterday he came to me.

He was very angry.

Give it back to me, Jesse. Give it back.

Here.

She doesn't want it.

If she needs a bracelet, I'll get her
one.

Is that true, Nicole? You don't want it?
No. Jesse, you have no right. That is

my bracelet. All right, then you give it
back to him.

Give it back to him.

Well, are you going to give it to him or
not?

To hell with you.

To hell with both of you. Jesse!

Jesse!

I

knew

right then that it wasn't going to work.

I had to replace Velasquez.

My play was never going to come together
unless I did.

He was too much of a problem.

What I didn't realize at the time was
that the problem wasn't Jesse at all.

It was Nicole.

Nicole, it's all right.

Don't cry, please.

I'm sorry.

It's all my fault. No, it's not you.

It's him.

You're wrong about him.

really wonderful. He just had a bad
temper.

He's hurting the play.

He's hurting your performance.

He's hurting you.

Me?

Nicole, you're a wonderful actress.

You can be brilliant in this part.

You can be beautiful as Lisa.

Jesse. Wait a minute, kid.

I don't think you understand.

I got eyes, man. I understand plenty.

This is not what you think. How do you
know what I think?

Stop it!

Jesse, stop it!

Jesse!

He came at me. What was I supposed to
do?

You want to file a complaint with the
board?

Go ahead.

You want to take away my license?

Go ahead.

I'll tell you this.

I don't blame the Velasquez kid at all.

I blame the girl.

I don't believe any of it.

I know those kids.

They've got heads on their shoulders.

They're not like that.

Well, ordinarily, I'd agree with you,
Miss Sherwood.

Ordinarily?

You can believe what you like, Mr.
Derenforth.

The only part that I believe is that
Torrance hit Jesse.

I'm not so sure I even believe that.

You see, when Nicole Chapman told her
story, she claimed that Torrance didn't

hit Jesse at all.

What did Nicole say happened?

Well, it's not so much what she said,
Miss Sherwood. It's how she said it.

It's not true.

It's not true.

I never had this feeling for Mr.
Torrance.

Jesse didn't understand.

He was jealous.

And he has no reason to be.

If anything, I was frightened of Mr.
Torrance.

I remember the first time we met.

I was performing on stage, and Mr.
Torrance was in the wings watching me.

something wrong there, you know?

I just felt it.

And when he asked me to do the lead in
his play, something inside of me told me

to say no.

But I didn't.

I said yes.

Okay, I'll do it.

It was a lead in the play.

I was so excited that I didn't even see
how jealous Jesse was.

I guess I thought he would be excited
too.

Because Mr. Torrance cast him into play.

But he wasn't excited.

And things got worse and worse during
the rehearsals.

And then everything just blew up when
Mr. Torrance gave me the bracelet.

It is just a bracelet. It doesn't mean
anything.

It doesn't mean anything. Then why
didn't he give me one?

Am I? Yes.

All right, if it doesn't mean anything,
then why don't you give it back to him?

Give it back to him? It would hurt his
feelings.

Hurt his feelings.

Well, what about my feelings?

This guy's out of line, Nicole. Oh,
you're out of line, Jesse.

Why don't you admit that you like him?
Stop it.

He gave you the damn thing right in
front of me. Why do you think he did

don't know why he did it. Then let me
tell you why. It's because he wants to

break us apart. I said stop it. It's
because he wants more from you than a

performance.

it back to him i will jesse

get it back get it back jesse here she
doesn't want

it if she needs a bracelet i'll get her
one jesse was so angry i was afraid he

was gonna get violent you have no right
to my bracelet all right then you i

tried to stop them but it only made
jesse angrier well

are you gonna get

He wouldn't listen to anything.

Just stormed out of the auditorium.

I was so tired.

Tired of the pressure I was feeling.

Tired of the fighting.

Tired of Jesse's jealousy.

It's him.

No. You're wrong about him.

It's really wonderful because there's a
bent temper.

He's hurting the play.

Nicole, he's hurting your performance.

in this part.

You can be beautiful as Lisa.

I can.

I can.

The look on Jesse's face.

He didn't understand.

He thought...

was horrible.

I don't know how long we all stood there
looking at each other.

At first I thought Jesse was going to
hate him.

Didn't think... I thought you were
jealous.

I'll never forget the way he looked.

The more I listen, the more confused I
get.

Obviously, one of them is lying.

Why both of them?

Why would both of them lie?

I'm not sure, Miss Sherwood.

Possibly to forget unpleasant things.

It's easier that way.

I sure wish we could get Jet.

Well, in a way, we did.

I thought he was unconscious.

He told his story through someone else.

Or so Mrs. Byrd thinks.

She's a medium, remember?

The police use psychics and mediums all
the time. Why can't we?

You can.

I didn't want to believe it either.

But Mrs. Byrd talked us into letting her
put herself into a trance.

And she did.

What did she say?

It was more what Jesse Velasquez said.

As though he were talking through her.

I didn't like the way he was treating
us.

Especially Nicole.

I tried to get her to see what he was,
but she didn't want to hear it.

Jesse, you have no right. It's my
bracelet.

All right, then you give it back to him.

Go ahead, give it back to him.

Are you going to give it back to him or
not?

All right, to hell with you then. To
hell with the both of you.

I felt like I was going to explode.

Couldn't take it anymore.

This ain't no place for losers or the
innocence of mind.

It's a full -time job for anyone to stay
alive.

I'll sit like found reed for the war
that's never won.

Gonna wait there for a broken...

myself on the cold.

I tried to help her.

Hey, let her go!

I said let her go!

The torch didn't hit me. I fell.

It's not true. None of it's true.

Chris? What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

I just think they're all lying, that's
all.

Well, I may be gullible, but not enough
to believe that last story.

Maybe it burned the medium.

I wish I'd been there.

Well, medium or no medium, the last
story was a lie, too.

How do you know?

Because I saw with my own eyes.

I saw what happened. I was there.

you tell us this before?

I want to get involved.

Mr. Donlan, if you can bring any light
to bear on this matter, I strongly

suggest that you do so immediately.

How much do you actually know?

Look, I didn't do nothing wrong, all
right? No one has said that you did

anything wrong. Not yet, anyway.

Donlan, wait, Mr. Donlan, wait.

What could you have possibly done that
was wrong?

You don't happen to know anything about
a missing bracelet, do you? No, I don't

know anything about a bracelet.

But when I heard it was missing, I knew
they would accuse me of taping it.

Why you?

Because I was there. It'd be easy to
accuse me.

That's why you didn't speak?

Yeah.

And I didn't want to hurt any of my
friends.

When I came in the building, the first
thing I saw to look weird was the glass

on the floor.

You already told us that. I heard noise
from the auditorium. You told us that

too, and then you saw Mr. Velasquez
lying in the orchestra pit. The thing

got there earlier than that.

When I came into the auditorium, they
were all there.

Jesse, Nicole, Mr. Collins.

They were all on stage.

If he needs a bracelet, I'll get her
one.

Is that true, Nicole? You don't want it?
No, yes.

You have no right to say it's my
bracelet.

All right, then you give it to him.

Give it to him.

Well, are you going to give it to him or
not?

To hell with you.

To hell with both of you. Jesse!

At first I couldn't figure out what was
going on.

It's all right, Nicole.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

No, it's not you.

It's him.

You're wrong about him.

They're really wonderful. He just has a
bad temper.

He's hurting a play.

Nicole, he's hurting your performance.

He's hurting you.

Me?

You're a wonderful actress.

You can be brilliant in this part.

You can be beautiful as Lisa.

We can't.

You can.

Hey, let her go, man.

Jesse.

Wait a minute, kid.

I don't think you understand.

Come on, Nicky. You don't need this. You
don't need him. Quit the play. Quit the

play? Just like that? Yeah, just like
that.

And you're going to do that?

Come on, man. She's just a young girl.
You tricked her. Jealous.

You're jealous of me, and that's why you
wanted to quit. There's no other

reason.

what he's doing to you.

He's trying to take you down with him.
He doesn't care about the play.

He doesn't care about you. All he cares
about is himself.

I don't believe that. Yo, I'm not going
to let you do it, Mickey.

I am not letting him take control of you
like that. Now you are staying, Nicole.

Oh.

Mr. Tarrant. I want you to stay. Hey,
man, why don't you leave her alone? No,

you leave her alone. She's doing my
play, you hear me? She's doing my play.

That's what I saw. I'm not lying. Nobody
said you were lying, Mr. Donovan.

Like I said, the reason I didn't say
anything earlier is because I didn't

to get in trouble.

Maybe Jesse or Nicole would have told
the truth.

They didn't.

All right.

It was mine.

Sorry, Mr. Danforth.

For what?

I'm not telling you sooner.

I still don't know why Jesse Nicole
didn't tell the truth.

I don't understand why either.

Why what, Miss Shirley?

Why Jesse and Nicole didn't tell the
truth.

How do you know they didn't?

Well, their stories are completely
different.

Are they?

I'm not so sure.

Would you like to explain that?

I guess that there are times when people
can't... Tell the truth.

Not even to themselves.

Because sometimes the truth is too
painful.

And so they believe their own lies.

It's easier that way.

Mr. Wood!

Mr. Deerenforth, he's all right. Mr.
Velazquez is all right.

Thank God! The hospital called. He's
even eating!

That's water.

And I found the bracelet.

Where was it?

In the office. It was in the top drawer
at my desk.

I wonder how it got there. Who cares?
The point is, we have it. Oh, Mr.

Wood, Mr.

Derenforth. I was amazing.

Well, how do you think I found it?

I told you I was psychic.

Pfft.

But don't you believe me?

Mrs. Berg, we don't know what we believe
in.

17, that's me.

I really am, you know.

How do you think that bracelet got in
Mrs. Spurge's desk?

Perhaps the students found it and turned
it on.

Perhaps.

I suppose we'll never know.

Well, it stopped, Miss Sherwood, if you
can believe it.

I think I can.

Now all we need is the bus.

I think I'll walk.

Till I can catch a cab.

Me too.

Well.

Tomorrow.
