Original subtitles

I had a dream once.

I was running as fast as I could down this wide, empty road.

I looked behind me, and all I could see was the shadow of a city lost in a neon

haze.

My chest felt like it was going to burst, and my lungs were on fire.

Something was chasing me.

All I knew was that I had to keep going.

Sometimes the dream and reality blur.

I don't know what's up or down.

I'm floating, holding on, screaming to wake up.

I don't feel connected, and I don't feel like I ever really had a chance, you

know?

I mean, who the fuck gives a kid like me a chance?

I can't escape him.

I can't escape the feeling that he's a part of me.

I can't escape what I did.

It's a good day for all of us. We have been investigating a series of violent

offenses in the area.

The department has been really on task.

We've been asking for the cooperation of local citizenry, and it's led to a lot

of positive results.

Hey, Renee, where are the glasses?

Oh, left.

Everything looked different in the daylight.

Things are going to be better somehow.

Me?

I just want it to be normal.

Hey!

Come here.

What's up, man? What's your name?

Ian.

You new here?

First day?

Yeah.

Well, I'm Kurt.

That's Luke, and that's Terry.

You smoke?

No.

Well, listen, man, if you ever change your mind, you just let me know.

You're not going to tell on us, right?

No.

Because if you do... See you around, man.

All right, Ian.

I've been looking over your file, and I've got

a couple of questions I'd like to ask you.

How much of the incident do you remember?

I don't really want to talk about that.

That's fine.

How long were you away for?

It's in my file.

Yeah, I suppose that's true.

So, how are you adjusting here?

Hey, new guy, wait up.

Hey, thanks for the help. I suck at history.

I'm Terry.

You. Nice to meet you.

Anyways, I don't know if you, you know, go to the park or anything, but me and

some guys are going to the park. Do you want to come?

I got to get home, man.

Oh, yeah, totally.

All right.

I'll see you around. Yes.

These memories play over and over again.

I just want to forget.

I guess I went because I was lonely or wanted to forget something.

Call it an impulse, an urge.

Call it whatever the hell you want.

I was curious with time to kill.

Hey, glad you came.

Sorry about earlier. It's all good.

Uh, you gonna play? Yeah, yeah, we can play.

Late spring days, the kind where for a second you feel innocent again.

So, what's up with you?

Uh, you know, with your, like, average high school shit.

I just can't wait to finally graduate this year, you know?

Yeah.

So what are you doing here?

Uh, my aunt lives here, man.

Okay, I gotcha.

You with those guys?

Uh, no.

I mean, a little bit.

I help out Kurt a bit here and there. He's kind of boss with that sort of

Figured. They just looked like kids.

Why was he so afraid of them?

Well, listen, I'm going to head out before I get starved, but I'll see you

tomorrow at school, right?

Yeah, man.

See ya.

This place, these people.

It all felt like a strange dream.

Need a light?

I see you met Terry.

Yeah.

You're Ian, right?

Bill Cockman?

I guess so.

I only ask because we can never get Devin to shut up.

Who?

His friend.

So you're with them?

I guess so.

I couldn't figure her out.

She acted so confident, like she knew some secret, and she was hanging it over

my head.

I better get back.

What's your name?

What?

Your name.

Hannah.

See you around, Hannah.

Guess. I wanted to charge up the hill, but I couldn't get involved.

Yo, new guy!

Hey, man.

See that shit?

Nah.

Where you headed?

Walking home.

Oh, cool.

Where's that?

My aunt on Sprague Street. I'm going that way, too. Mind if I walk with you?

That's all right.

I could feel him trying to get a read on me.

Why did he need me to like him?

So you live with your aunt, huh?

I must be interesting.

Yeah.

At least you don't live with a fucking cop.

Huh? Yeah, man, he's... I don't know, he's fucking crazy, man, but... He helps

me out with shit.

He was trying too hard.

The boys are tight, though.

Yeah, I really only met Terry and Anna.

Yeah, Terry, he's cool.

A little fucking weird, but he's dependable.

You know, you should hang out with us sometime.

Are you free tonight?

Uh... I gotta handle some shit.

Yeah, cool.

I don't know.

It just felt off.

Shit.

Listen, man, I'll talk to you later, alright?

Alright.

Yeah.

I read your file, you know.

Look, son.

Stay out of trouble, and we'll be fine.

I don't know why I went.

I guess it was just something in his voice.

All right, Terry will be here any minute. You better be glad it was me on

that night.

He wasn't playing smart.

He could have screwed this up for all of us.

Where the fuck is that kid?

Hey, man.

Listen, I need you to do something for me.

Yeah, sure.

You can't tell anybody about this, all right?

I'm serious.

Well, what is it?

Take this.

Go to this address.

Put it in your phone. Do not stop.

Don't open the trunk until you get there.

Come on, we're taking his car.

Terry didn't say much on the drive.

We sat in silence as we left the neon lights of the city behind us.

You ever done anything like this before?

No. First time he's asked me to do anything but deal.

Fucking Christ!

It's fucking Devon. You know this guy?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's Luke's brother. Alright, yo, we gotta get the fuck out

here. He didn't hurt anyone.

Terry, we gotta get the fuck out of here, man! Ian, we have to bury him!

Are you fucking nuts? We gotta call the cops! No, Ian, you don't fucking get it.

Look, I know you're new here, but they are the cops.

The only way we get out of this alive is if we do what they want and bury him.

Look, Ian, I'm sorry.

Ian, but I need... I need your help.

Come on, I didn't know.

Ian, please help me.

Ian, please.

Look, they're close upon quick.

What the fuck is he doing here? I was just nervous and I needed some help. Put

the gun down.

We can't trust him. We barely fucking know him. I didn't fucking know it was

going to be this. Everyone shut the hell up and listen to me. He wasn't your

brother.

Give it to me.

Terry, this was a stupid fucking mistake.

So what do we do now? Shoot him?

Move.

You say one word about what you saw tonight, and I swear to God you'll end

a hole just like that one.

You got that?

Let's finish up.

Hit you in the... What?

It

always

starts out the same way.

Knuckles smashing against raw flesh.

Then you hear it.

The scream.

I

just want to wake

up.

Hey, Ian.

Hey.

So, I was wondering if you wanted to come to the party tonight.

Where?

Kurt's place.

What?

Nothing.

So, will I see you there?

I guess so.

Hey.

You okay?

Ian?

Can we talk?

So you doing alright?

I'm looking, I'm sorry, but... Yeah, it's fine.

You alright?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Been here your whole life?

Yeah.

And my parents were pieces of shit and they dropped me off here. My

grandparents, when I was a baby, never came back.

I'm sorry.

It's all good.

I mean, they're good to me, I guess. They gave me a place to stay.

I just feel like sometimes they don't really, like, want me here, you know?

It makes sense, right?

They already raised one kid and he turned out like shit.

It's not their fault.

Anyway, screw all that.

Your turn.

What's your sob story?

Nope.

Really? Nothing to tell.

Where you going?

That party?

Nothing like a high school party to make you want to put a bullet through your

brain.

A bunch of kids trying to blend in, hoping to God they don't stand out.

One -sided conversations with people that you pretend to know and care about.

I just needed to know more about Anna and Kurt.

I pretend it's for a good reason, but... Hi.

What grade are you in?

Fuck off.

The truth is, I just can't help myself.

Yo!

We made it!

Pretty fucking loud in here, man. It's a fucking party. It's supposed to be

loud. You having a good time?

Yeah, I guess so.

You guess?

That drunk chick seemed to be really into you.

Drunk chicks aren't really my thing, man. I can fucking respect that, man.

How you holding up?

Fine.

Look, man, relax.

Just have a good time, okay? That sad shit is behind us now, alright?

Listen, I gotta take care of some shit. I'll see you later, alright?

Didn't want to know, but something told me I was going to find out.

Hey, I've been looking for you.

I couldn't read her.

But my curiosity got the best of me.

Don't worry.

I'm not gonna try to seduce you.

Not that I couldn't.

You should be more careful around Kurt.

Why?

Because it's not something you want to get involved in.

And you and him have a thing.

I could fit into whoever I want.

Both of you.

Whoever said I was into you?

What's going on?

Did I turn in?

Can I

talk to you?

Alone?

Yeah.

fights you, all right?

Thank you.

Hey, Ian!

Ian!

Come on, man.

Come on, let me help you. Come on. Come on, get up.

Come on, get up, you're coming with me.

Get up, get up.

Fuck

you!

No, you're not. Come on.

Are you ready?

One, two, three.

You're good, you're good, you're good.

at the new kid.

You saw him?

Fuck!

Wilson, I gotta tell you something.

That kid was with Terry last night.

Why the fuck was this kid here? I don't know.

Terry fucked up and brought him along.

Get the fuck out!

Let me talk to Anna.

What is this kid's name?

What's his name?

What is his fucking name?

I woke up feeling like I had been hit by a sledgehammer.

The memories of the night before ran through my head like a blur.

What are you doing here?

Can we go for a walk?

I have to talk to you.

You alright?

You have to leave.

What do you mean?

You really fucked up, though.

I was protecting you. I don't need you protecting me.

Ian. You really messed up, Kurt.

You don't know who you're messing with.

I can handle myself.

Ian, he'll kill you.

Kurt's not going to kill me. I'm not talking about Kurt.

Who are you talking about then? Wilson.

The cop?

I can't protect you from him.

Is that what you really came here for?

Yeah.

Have to go.

Hey, man.

I think Terry was just trying to keep it together.

He suggested we go to the theater to see some weird art house shit or something.

I'm sorry.

We'd have to have food or bar.

You understand?

Yes.

Sorry.

It's alright now, boy.

Keep your voice down. It's alright.

They just watched us, not making a move.

Do you want to stay here?

Yeah.

Ian? Nothing, man.

Have a good one.

Hey, guys.

So we noticed you've been hanging out with the new kid a lot.

I've just been showing him around, I guess.

I wouldn't get too close if I were you.

What do you mean?

Just tell me one thing.

Where is he?

Hey. Ian, you've got to get out of there right now.

What? The aliens are coming, coming now.

Hey, Renee!

What? We've got to get out of here.

Trust me, we've got to go.

It's not safe here.

Just like your father.

Yeah.

Alright.

Watch him.

Anna.

Where are they going?

They're looking for him.

Will you drink this?

Fine.

Are you sure?

Like shit.

Sometimes I feel like you're the only one who understands me.

What did you do with Ian?

Nothing. Kurt, you're hurting me. You'd do anything for me, wouldn't you?

Wouldn't you?

Anything.

I love you.

Say it.

Hey. Come in.

Walking into his room, I saw another world.

I saw someone who still had hopes and dreams.

Thanks. You have any problems?

My grandparents rented a town so you don't have to be quiet.

Oh, and, uh, here's your... lanket. Oh, oh.

Lanket.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So what happened?

I don't really want to talk about it.

You can talk to me, Ian.

Listen, I'm sorry I couldn't warn you sooner.

It has nothing to do with you.

Can we just talk about it later?

Sure.

You can either sleep on the floor or the other side of the bed.

Your call, I don't care.

The bed's fine.

I'm sorry, man.

About what?

You've been a really great friend.

And I just can't open up.

You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. No, I do.

It's just, like, I don't want to sound weak.

Ian, it's just me.

My mom got pregnant when

she was 16.

My dad was a strung -out, drunk asshole.

He got her hooked on whatever he was hooked on.

When he heard about me, he wanted her to get an abortion.

And she said no.

She's still a fucking kid.

Terry, I've been in juvie for the last six years.

It's fine.

Ian? Yeah?

I don't think they're just going to let this go.

I don't want to see them. Kill me?

Yeah.

I'm fine. I'll be fine.

Right, it's just I'm worried. I'll be fine.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Ian. Ian.

What? You've got to get out of here now. Kurt's guys are out here. You've got to

leave through the back right now.

Because they're going to kill you, man.

Take this.

Get the fuck out of here. Go.

So are we alone then?

Yep.

Been sleeping on the floor?

No, just fell down there.

Where is he?

Where's who?

The new kid, man.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Where is he? I don't know!

Anna?

Anna isn't like Terry.

She doesn't play for anyone but herself.

And that may be why she's my best bet.

Ian, what happened?

Ian, you have to leave.

I can't just leave Terry and my aunt.

They'll be fine.

And you?

I'll be fine.

Ian, you leave and everything goes back to normal.

There has to be something I can do.

Like what?

Call the police.

Wilson?

We go above Wilson.

And then what?

You think Terry hasn't done bad things?

Ian, you think I haven't broken the law?

You call the police and everyone gets arrested.

Including you.

You've already done a lot.

Like what?

You tried.

You can catch the bus in the morning.

Stay with me tonight.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Kurt will never think to check my place.

You'll be safe.

Kurt, this is Terry.

I know where Ian is.

Where?

Come to my house in an hour.

Tell me now.

He'll be over here in an hour.

You do all these?

Yeah.

They're great.

Thank you.

Was that you in the photo?

Mm -hmm.

Where are your parents now?

My mom's at work.

She works in a hospital downtown.

Your dad?

My dad's in jail.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I was like three or four. I don't even remember.

Well, I have a very talented daughter.

You're three.

You don't even know.

Come in.

Dude, what the fuck happened to your face, man?

I don't know if you should talk.

Okay, but seriously, who the fuck did this to Terry?

Shut the fuck up, Kurt.

Where is he, Terry?

Look, man, I'm sorry.

Alright? Whoever did this to you is gonna pay.

I'm serious, man. I swear I don't know who did this.

Terry, are you okay?

So what's your plan?

Huh?

After high school.

I don't think about it too much.

You know it's happening soon.

What about you, then?

I don't know.

Probably get a job.

Like what?

Something. You don't want to go to college?

Ian, what do you think of me?

I think you're beautiful, of course.

No, I mean...

What do you think of me?

I don't know you that well.

Just whatever you're thinking.

I think you're a very talented girl who's wasting her time on

the people here.

I think you like playing the victim.

Even if you don't realize it yet.

But above all, I think you're a girl who knows how to survive.

And that's what scares me.

Terry?

Terry?

Hello, Ian.

Have you heard?

Tell Anna she looks beautiful.

I'm sorry.

Ian, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you how I really felt.

I thought over the past few days that I met someone I can truly be myself

around.

Maybe I was wrong.

That still can't change how I feel.

Before I met you, I didn't know.

Someone could stand up to Kurt.

Everyone else was too scared.

But you gave me hope.

That's why I have to do this.

I'm going to do this not only for you, but everyone else.

Everyone else that they've hurt.

So please don't be too angry with me.

There is nothing you could have done.

I wish things could have turned out differently, but I'll always cherish the

time we had with each other.

Got away.

How?

Look, Wilson, two of our guys are dead already.

So this Ian kid doesn't matter anymore, is that it? Hey, listen, man. Was I

talking to you? No?

Then shut the fuck up.

How did he get away?

Caleb was guarding the bike and he knocked him out.

Are you Caleb?

Yes, sir.

Come here, son.

Closer.

Closer.

Well, come on, let him go.

Next time, don't assign a 14 year old to guard duty.

I really don't enjoy killing children.

There it is again.

She's helpless.

Lying there like a wounded animal.

And all I can do is watch.

I'm just as helpless as she is.

Hello?

Hey.

I'm sorry.

I didn't have a choice.

Can you just please meet me at 3rd and Liberty tonight?

I can explain if... I

think he'll come.

I know what I have to do, and it makes me sick to my stomach.

But what options am I left with?

Fall into a trap, run away, and never see them again?

Terry didn't run.

I know what I have to do. My mind is made up.

I don't think I'm gonna make it out of this one, but it's okay.

Hello? Ian, where are you?

I'm scared of him, Ian.

I don't know. I don't know. There's something... Ian,

there's something I have to tell you.

I wonder if she meant a word that came out of her mouth.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

I don't know if it even matters anymore.

Sit down.

I remember seven years ago, I brought this kid in.

He was dealing to another little boy, and I showed up and spotted him.

He was scared shitless.

I was 12.

Now I made a deal with that kid.

That I wouldn't send him to juvie.

And he would help me out.

50 -50. I'd provide the goods.

He'd sell them.

Then... He got a little older.

So I let him start running things. What the hell are you talking about?

I'm tired of you fucking things up.

So... From now on...

It happened.

It's everything that's going to go back to normal.

Stop.

You did it.

You brought this new kid in.

Wilson, I know I can fix this. It's your fault he knows who I am. Wilson,

please. You should have killed him when you buried Devin. You can't fucking do

this. I'll... You'll what?

You'll fucking what? I own those boys.

Sit the fuck down.

over the last seven years you were a great piece of shit. I gave you

All you've ever done is use me. You would be sleeping on the street if it

weren't for me.

I clothed you.

I fed you. I fucked you. You never ever treated me like a goddamn person.

All you've ever done is use me. Use you? Yes, use me. You made me.

Look at what you made.

Look at what the fuck you made.

sees that scared little boy.

But you needed me.

Shut up!

Shut the fuck up!

You said you'd be like a brother to me. You promised!

We are brothers.

You and I are the same, Kurt.

What happened? Stay out here!

Kurt, what did you do?

Get the fuck off of him.

Take a look.

You're gonna kill me too?

Like you fucking killed Wilson?

No, you don't know what you're talking about. You don't know what he did to me.

I know you fucking killed him.

Like you killed Terry. You fucking killed Terry.

You killed Terry. You turned everyone against me.

You've taken everything I have.

All I could see was white.

Then flashes of the same nightmare.

The blood.

The sound of bones being crushed.

Her final plea.

My face was drenched in sweat.

I couldn't just stand there anymore.

My trembling hands gripped the cold metal bat.

And then it just happened.

I swung until there was nothing left.

What do you think of Terry?

Fucking kill me! Do it!

Do it!

Nobody changes, Eve.

Nobody ever changes.

Terry deserved better than this.

I just can't help but wonder if things could have ended differently.

Then there's Anna.

She'll never change.

She's stuck in the same rut, going down a road that leads to nowhere.

You've got a lot of work coming here.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

She seemed cold.

Like she was far away.

I have only myself to blame.

I wonder what my mother would think of me now.

She always seemed to be there rooting for me back then.

Maybe she'd be disappointed.

Maybe she'd want me to stay with my aunt.

I just hope she sees that I'm trying.
