Diane's beautiful eyes have always played the strings of my heart

I couldn't imagine life without her.

Not for a second did I want to lose her.

I was totally in love with her, and always will be.

Guys, I suck.

You were so lucky to have David, even though he does go to Manning. Oh, I

Although Billy's pretty cute, don't you think?

I haven't noticed.

Oh, come on.

No, I mean, it's just, you know, David and me are really special.

Yeah, but I mean, just hypothetically speaking.

Because David never knew.

There is no suppose.

I mean, David and me, I mean, it's not just because we're getting married and

we're going to be together forever.

It's like we're the same person in a way and always have been.

It's kind of hard to put into words.

Yeah, but I at least wish I had a relationship I could put into it.

Oh, you will.

You want something bad enough, things just come to you. I mean, that's been my

experience. I want Billy. I think you should aim higher.

It's easy for you to say. You have David. Yeah, David's special. It's true.

do anything in the world for me.

That close to the ball.

Dress right.

Dress. And now, if you all would rise for the presentation of the colors.

by the members of the... Ready?

Even though we went to different schools, Diane and I created and lived

own separate, wonderful world.

How did we look?

You looked magnificent.

Greenish -brown female sheep.

Greenish -brown female sheep.

That was our secret code.

So we could say anytime, anywhere, how much we loved each other.

And no one else would ever know.

David, wait.

I don't want to do anything until you know.

David, don't be mad.

I'm not mad. I just don't understand why we're waiting for you.

Do you doubt me? I don't doubt you.

David. What?

What do you think? If we make love, this is going to change things or something?

That makes me think like you don't believe in us.

I do.

David,

my virginity is something I can only give you one.

important to me too, but what do you think waiting four years is going to

difference?

You're right.

We are bound together forever.

Forever and ever.

Diane had always held her virginity as one of her highest virtues.

When we agreed to be married, she finally let her guard down long enough

teenage hormones to kick in.

Nice ring, young lady.

Sixty days to redeem those guns, young man.

Oh, it's so beautiful. I want to wear it right now.

Isn't that bad luck?

We make our own luck.

I'm so hungry I could eat my boots.

Pull in at the Texas Roaster, okay?

We can't. We're going to be late.

David.

All right, we'll do drive -thru.

Thanks.

Hi, Texas Roaster. Can I take your order? Can I get a couple of crispy

sandwiches, please?

Press. A couple of fries, a couple of shakes.

Yes.

And that's all.

Okay, two crispy chickens, two large fries, and two shakes.

Okay, just pull up to the 99th window and get your food.

Welcome to Texas Roasters. May I take your order?

Two roasters and fries, please.

Okay, two roasters and two fries.

Okay, pull up to the window.

Thank you.

Hey, AJ.

How are you, huh?

Yeah. How y 'all doing? Y 'all set for regional? Oh, yeah.

AJ, he's here again.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Um, I'll see you around, David.

All right.

Hey.

She all right?

Yeah, just some boy keeps stopping by.

Drive carefully, y 'all. All right.

Hey, Brian.

Can I get you something to eat?

Is AJ around?

Not right now.

Brian.

I think she's dating somebody.

You know?

I just want to talk to her.

Tell her I said hey.

Okay.

Bye -bye.

I feel so bad.

I'm like this.

It's a kindness, AJ.

Yeah, well, I could at least talk to him. You did.

And now he follows you around like a puppy. Don't worry about him.

You just seem so sad all the time, you know?

Welcome to Texas Roasters, Nancy.

Who is she? The little blonde.

Uh, her name's AJ. She's on the cross -country team.

She's cute. Can she run?

I don't know.

She's a sophomore.

and just my darned old knee.

I should probably get you some ice cream.

You don't have to get me any ice.

If I had a chance Don't ask me what I'm thinking

thought she was stupid to let herself get pregnant.

And she was. You're not stupid, though. I'm not pregnant either.

Damn.

Diane.

Tell me the truth.

Mama.

When did it happen?

It's all right. We're getting married.

Well, I hope. No, but Diane, baby. Mama, we are. I know, okay? We are.

A long time from now.

Mama, I'm either going to die with David Graham or I'm going to die with Diane

Zamora, one or the other.

What are you folks expecting you?

No particular time.

The event was meaningless and painful.

Painful, that is, because I was letting down the one person I had swore to be

faithful to.

Oh.

You got the guilt?

You haven't said two words to me.

No, I'm just tired from the practice.

You're not going steady with somebody, are you?

Because I've never seen you with anybody at school.

No, it's not that.

I'm just thinking about stuff.

Okay.

You can get hurt around here if you're not the wrong boy.

Remember what happened to Lucy Collier?

No, what?

She got the tar beat out of her by that girl Marguerite. I testified in court,

did you know that?

She had her face rebuilt on account of messing with Marguerite's steady

boyfriend.

Bad, bad.

So, I don't mess around, I don't look like a little guy.

Just don't care.

Crystal?

Actually, you know what?

We have to go. Are you ready, Tracy?

Yeah, I forgot it. I didn't notice it.

All right.

Bye.

David?

David, did you hear me?

That's the third time today. What's going on with you?

Nothing.

David,

wait a minute.

David, we're not going to the movie.

We're not going now?

Why don't you just come over and sit down for a minute? I need to talk to

What's up?

You've been troubled lately.

Something's going on.

I don't know what you mean.

I know you. You can't lie to me, don't you know that?

So come on and just get it over with.

Out with it, David. What is it?

Another woman?

Who? It was, uh... AJ from the track team.

You don't know her.

The girl from the fried chicken place.

So, how did it happen?

I mean, don't make me drag it out of you.

It just happened.

I mean... I was at the track meet, and we were talking, and then...

I don't know, we sat on the bus together.

I was talking to her and then... she kissed

me and... Go on.

I don't know.

She needed a ride home, so I said I'd give her a ride.

And... we didn't go straight there. We stopped at the school first.

What did you do?

I had kind of knowledge of her.

I'll do anything.

Just tell me who you are.

Oh, my God.

Why?

Oh,

go away. I gave up my virginity for you.

For at least an hour, she screamed sobs I wouldn't have thought possible.

It wasn't just jealousy for Diane. She'd been betrayed, deceived, and forgotten.

I don't think it was your fault.

Women have ways of making a man forget himself.

She knew what she was doing.

So therefore, she must suffer the consequences.

Whatever you say.

It's the only way.

When she's gone, we can go on as before.

But not until... You understand?

Yeah.

She'll have to suffer the consequences.

She will have to die.

I

didn't

have any harsh feelings for Adrian, but no one could stand between me and Diane.

When this precious relationship we had was damaged by my thoughtless actions,

The only thing that could satisfy her womanly vengeance was the life of the

that had, for an instant, taken her place.

AJ, come on, why don't you go with us?

I'll buy the popcorn.

I can't, I want to work out.

Wait a minute, Tracy's back in town tonight, isn't he?

Yes, that's not it, Smarty. No, I didn't say nothing.

Is Zach in Syria, you and Tracy?

No, Tracy's a sweet boy, but he's so young, you know.

Hey, just see you tomorrow. You have fun working out.

I will. How do you work out at night?

Tonight's about the only time I got left for working out.

See ya.

Oh, man.

What is it? Oh, nothing. I just... I thought it might have been this guy.

mind.

You all right?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah?

Don't work too hard.

I won't. Good night.

Bye. Good night. See y 'all tomorrow.

All right.

Hey, you. Hey.

Phew, that smell.

Tell me.

I've been painting this room all day.

Hey, it looks good.

Hey.

Come on. I need a workout, buddy.

Get real.

It's time to get out of this odorificness. Get out.

Come on. It'll make you feel better.

Okay. Boy, I raised a pushy little girl.

Like mother, like daughter.

and then we're out of here.

Okay, all I have left is butt crunchers.

Oh, yeah, don't forget those, Miss Bubble Butt.

Mama.

It's true. Jiggle just like a pair of bubbles when you walk. It does not.

It does, too.

Uh -huh.

Hey, what do you call someone who figures out what people ain't doing? Is

psychologist?

I'm a psychologist.

Behavioral analyst something?

Yeah, I think I'm interested in doing that for a living.

Okay. You can start with me.

What? I'm serious. I have no idea why I do the things I do.

Is it Tracy?

Please tell him not to call this late here.

I will.

Daddy, just one second, please.

A second, okay?

Okay.

Hello?

Yeah, no, it's okay.

Get off the phone. So when did you get back?

I think... No, after work, Mom and me worked out. That's it.

So... Oh, shoot. Hang on a second. Let me see how this is.

Hello?

Yeah, hello.

What? What's the matter?

Adrian?

Adrian? I don't know what to say.

It's David from Cross Country. Get off the phone.

Okay.

Mom.

When?

Well, I don't know. It's late.

Oh, don't.

Yeah.

Sure, I can just...

Yeah, okay.

Yes, I will.

AJ, I gotta go.

Get out.

Bye.

I gotta go now.

I can't hold it. My mom's talking to me, too.

Um, just somebody from cross -country.

His name's, um, Brian.

He was real upset, so I didn't want to cut him off.

No, he just wanted to talk, you know.

So, what about us? Where were we?

Yeah. You know how you get when you don't get enough sleep.

Mom, don't worry.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Good night, baby.

Good night.

Oh hi there.

Bye.

Honey, will you get them? Okay, guys, let's go. Come on, come on.

Let's go. Oh, we're going to be late.

Oh, get over.

Hi, baby.

Sit down here. Who cares?

I want you to eat now because we're late.

Again.

Not with your fingers.

Adrian?

Another late night?

Too late for him to drive home anyway.

I've got a test.

Hey, Dave.

Where's your car?

It's just down the block.

You tore up early.

I told you we're leaving early.

Charlie,

give me a hand over here, will you?

She was shot twice in the head and hit very hard with some sort of blunt

Skulls crushed.

That's the puzzle.

Take a look.

All four fingers on her left hand were crushed.

She was probably trying to protect herself.

I'm thinking that she was either dead or dying before she was shot.

We're finished here.

You seen your sister?

Adrian!

Sorry, man. Okay.

How you doing?

Hey, Tom Green.

Carl Baker, Center County.

You got anything?

Yeah, there's a...

Missing persons out for an Adrian Jones, age 16, from Manning.

That's not her. It's her twin sister.

You saw the body?

Yeah. So you found her?

Right over here.

Right. I wonder what she was doing out here with no shoes.

Hey.

Hey, you.

Here, son. Step back behind this tape. Come on.

Is that blood?

Is that her blood?

Yeah.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What's your name, son?

Larry.

I'm a friend of AJ's. I mean, if it is AJ's. AJ's?

Adrian Jones.

Everybody calls her AJ at school.

Is it her?

Come on, son. We need to ask you some questions. Right this way. Come on.

Ask you some questions. Over here.

Hi, this is Linda Jones, Adrian Jones' mother. I called before.

Hi.

Yes, I called missing persons.

And I've...

Called all around, and I can't find her anywhere.

Well, when?

I'm getting a little... Okay, I'll hold.

Did you find her? Yes, ma 'am.

I'm sorry, Miss Jones. Your daughter's dead.

we have to do this now is that... Actually, this is a homicide

What does that mean?

Your daughter's death wasn't an accident, Miss Jones. She was shot.

Not an accident, you mean? We need to find out who did this, so we have to

it. You mean my Adrian was shot?

Yes, ma 'am.

And in a case like this, it's important that we act quickly, so... You mean

deliberately murdered?

Yes, ma 'am.

Oh, God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Do you know where your daughter was last night that she was with?

to her job.

And you didn't see her go out again?

Where was she?

Did she talk to anybody?

Were there any phone calls?

running in the morning and so when she didn't come to breakfast I thought

maybe she went to school early

but her books were here and her shoes

she has two pair of tennis shoes

I thought she was out running.

And then I found him in the dryer.

I used to always worry about her getting hit by a car running in the dark

like she did.

Is Adrian dead?

You're Jason, aren't you?

Your mother's going to need you to help her through this, Jason.

I will.

I saw a pickup truck in the night.

You did?

When was this?

Last night, about midnight.

I couldn't sleep, so then I looked out my window and I saw a white pickup truck

pulling away.

You sure?

I think so.

I'd like to have your attention for a moment, please. I have an announcement.

We have lost a student.

It is my sad task to inform you that 10th grader Adrian Jones is dead.

This is a tragedy we will all have.

But she was one of Manning's honor, and we are all saddened by her loss.

I know how... There will be a police inquiry

into her movements up to the time of her death, and anyone who can offer any

help is encouraged to come forward.

Again, this is a shock for all of us and a time of sadness and reflection.

I'm sorry, David.

Look, did you talk to AJ last night?

Did I talk to Adrian?

No, why would I?

Because someone said she talked to a David from the track team, and you were

only one Coach Burke could think of.

It wasn't me.

Yeah. Okay, I'm sorry to bother you. It's just, this is so terrible, and

going to be talking to everyone who knew her.

It's okay. No problem.

That first day at school was the hardest.

to make it seem as though nothing had happened when we were really both scared

as hell.

Well, you are on the track team, and your name is David.

Yes. But you were dating her, right?

We weren't going steady or anything. Okay, now, you called her on Sunday

and while you were talking to her, somebody called in, right?

Do you drive a pickup?

No, sir.

Did the killer drive a pickup?

You know anyone who drives a white pickup?

No, sir. Any idea who that was?

She said it was some guy named Brian.

You sure it was Brian?

Brian's what she told me.

And you say you never dated Adrian?

No, sir. I'm engaged to be married.

A little young to get married, aren't you?

No, sir. We already set the date.

Right after I graduate from the Air Force Academy.

Hopefully.

Not David.

No, sir.

A friend of hers who was really upset.

That's all I know.

Well, good luck.

If you think of anything that might help us, give us a call.

Yes, sir.

She told me I didn't know him, so I didn't really pay it much mind.

She put me on hold while she talked to him.

I didn't think she'd sneak out to meet that guy or anything.

But she wouldn't have told me that exactly, would she?

Tom, there's a Brian McMillan in her address book.

Thank you.

Now, Detective Baker from Tanner Police, this is Detective Green from Manning.

We're working on a case. We were hoping you might be able to help us out.

Me?

Is this about Adrian Jones?

You don't mind answering some questions, do you, Brian?

No, why not?

Of course, we could check with the phone company, but it would help us out if

you remember.

Well, see, the only thing is I don't remember.

Brian.

You either called her Sunday night or you didn't.

Well, see, I was drinking some. And when you mix that with the other pills I

take, sometimes the next day it's like I wasn't even there, you know?

What kind of pills are you taking, Brian?

Well, a couple of things for depression and all.

Did you go over there, Brian?

Is it possible that you called her and then, you know, maybe drove by there?

even though you were drinking. Is that possible?

Well, it's possible.

I mean, I don't remember much.

You don't remember much?

It's all on tape, and I offered him a lawyer.

We don't even know if he's tracking.

The kid's on medication, for God's sake.

Now, why were you drinking that?

I know, I know.

It's the end of the weekend.

You've got school tomorrow.

Might as well get drunk, bash some girl's head in with a hammer. Never

No, you wouldn't do that. You're not that kind of a guy.

But if he is, he doesn't remember.

It's not my fault I don't remember, is it?

I'll ask anybody.

Who? Make us a list, Brian.

You write down the names of everybody who called Adrian on Sunday night

they were really, really upset and depressed and had to see her.

Brian, you're the only one on that list there.

But even if I went there, I wouldn't have killed her. But you don't remember,

right? So how do you know?

All right, Brian.

Had you done it, just supposing, all right, Brian?

Where would you leave the body?

What kind of place?

I don't know.

Away from people.

Somewhere remote. A field?

Away from houses.

I know the real killer's still out there, and they're never ever going to

looking. Never.

Look, I know on TV they always get the guy in the end, but in real life,

a lot of cases where they never figure out what happens.

Maybe.

Just needs for some time to have. I know. God, David.

You're just going to hang in there, okay?

We've been very lucky so far, but right now we need to toe the line.

You're right, McMullen.

We have to become models of good conduct.

And we were.

We both applied to military academies. From the United States Congress.

I got my letters first.

Dear David, congratulations on your appointment to the United States Air

Academy.

You have demonstrated excellence in academics, athletics, civics, and

service. You are the shining example that we in government look to when we

envision the future of this great country of ours.

The United States military is lucky to have you, David.

Good luck and Godspeed.

I can't stand it anymore. Go in the house and get the letter.

Tyler?

Oh, my God. Listen up.

Where are the announcements?

Listen, everyone.

It's pressed on the envelope as United States Navy.

I don't want to read it. Mama, I don't want to read it.

It's from Annapolis.

got into West Point and the Air Force Academy.

Okay, Brian, you can see how this is going.

We need to find out everything there is to know about you and Adrian.

We were just friends.

I never hid anybody in my life.

Not on purpose, never mind.

Bashing their head in with a hammer.

How did you know her head was bashed in, Brian?

What? You said her head was bashed in with a hammer. How did you know that?

Somebody said it.

No.

Try again.

It was on the news then. No, that was never released to the media.

That little detail is something very few people know about.

But you knew.

Where's the hammer, Brian?

I didn't...

Somebody must have said it then because I didn't kill her.

All right, that's enough of this. Go, Brian. You going to charge him?

Don't tell me what I can do when it comes to my son.

Mr. McMillan, I really... I've been told, your boss, I may not be rich or a

shot, but you mess with my son and I'll come after you or anybody else with

everything I've got, cop or no cop. You hear me?

Clear.

This is a very rare and distinctive honor, which brings credit not only to

himself, but to his family and to Manning High as well.

And so I present to you our very own David Graham.

I'll never stop loving you, Diane.

You better not. Not with what I've got on you.

You're under arrest for the murder of Adrian Jones.

Hit him up.

What happened that night, AJ?

I hear they're going to hook Brian McMillan up to a lie detector.

Yeah, like Forrest Gump might have been the killer.

That's not kind, Larry.

Well, it's true.

Brian's not exactly arch -criminal material.

Yeah, everybody but the police knows that.

Yeah, they know it, too. Only now they're going to have to do something

after they let old Brian go.

That'll be real again, you know? Yeah.

She was a real girl, and now she's really gone.

I still can't believe it.

I mean, she's dead.

She died right here.

Are you a student at Manning High School?

No.

Do you know anyone that owns a white pickup truck?

No.

Were you born in 1972?

No.

Let's get this straight. Brian is not a suspect in this case any longer. He was

not released for lack of evidence.

He was set free as he was arrested in error.

His lawyer had something for you later on, but just...

Give the kid a break, all right? One more question, please. What can one say

about a life ended so soon?

She was here with us, and then she was gone.

It must be enough that we celebrate her life, accepting her in

memory, and trusting in our Lord Jesus Christ to keep her in the hollow

of his hand.

Tom, where are those files?

Back here.

Good.

Finnegan begin again.

Well, she knew him.

Well, the killer's got to be in one of these folders here.

We'll find him eventually.

Probably. Yeah.

There's one. Grady.

First name Pete.

Let's see.

He was in County Journal that night with bad tonsils.

Now, that's an alibi.

Uh -huh.

Graham. First name, David.

Yeah, I remember him. He was on a high school track team.

Yeah, that's him. I interviewed him myself.

Graham. Yeah, he was going to Annapolis or... No, that was his girlfriend. This

young man's going to Colorado Springs.

Air Force Academy.

Outstanding. Yeah, outstanding is right. He's a good kid. Read this.

National Married Finalist, Athlete, ROTC Battalion Commander.

That young man is a recruiting poster.

Doesn't drive a pickup.

No pick -em -up truck.

Ralph Byers. I'm going home because I actually have a life.

Hey, Tom, we got about 50 or 60 more here. They'll all be there Monday

Carl.

Thanks for your help, Tom.

Thank you.

I'm taking her away from you for a minute, David.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right here.

Enjoy your evening. Yeah, have a nice time.

Okay, so here are the two latest.

Adrienne snuck out of the house and went to this rave party where she wound up

with some gang members.

Poor Jeannie Taylor, she heard that it was Colombians. She knew too much.

But this is the one that you're going to die over.

You killed her with the baseball bat.

Really? I mean, I couldn't believe Morgan Manley would actually say

like that, but you were the one who told me she didn't like you.

Morgan Manley said that? Who was she talking to?

I don't know. She was talking to some girl.

What was she said with that David was unfaithful to you?

You know, with her?

She's so full of it, like David would ever be unfaithful to me.

Yeah, but I mean to go and kill somebody, all right? On top of which,

shot. Or did Morgan forget that little detail?

Well, yeah, but I mean, her head was... Anyway, you'd have to be some kind of

lunatic to do something like that.

Well, she wasn't saying that she saw anything. I mean, she wasn't talking

somebody eyewitnessing anything, was she?

No, it was like that.

All right, then, she should keep her stupid mouth shut.

Totally. Yeah, and it's part of time.

So there's the famous Diane.

Well, David may think she hung the moon, but I'm not saying it. Why? What's the

matter with her? I don't know. She just strikes me as a stuck -up you -know

-what. You guys are not going to believe what I just heard. There is a rumor

going around that David Graham's girlfriend killed AJ.

You heard this in the girls' room? I overheard her talking to someone. Her

is Diane something. Demora, we know.

So give.

What'd she say? Well, they said that David slept with AJ and Diane found out

about it and killed her with a baseball bat. What?

Yeah, good, right. I think that was right after they both got abducted by

Spaceman. I still think it was Marguerite. It was another girl. After

did to Lucy, AJ testified against her and all. Yeah, but the police have

been down that road, haven't they? Who knows?

What? It's okay. Go away. She said you'd get it with a baseball bat. David, look

at me. Look at me. Listen to me. Listen to me now. You were the one that told me

that there's nothing we can do about the past. What's done is done.

Isn't that right?

Yes, that's right.

Okay. All right, then.

No matter what we do or say, nothing can bring her back.

So the only thing left for us is we have to live up to our potential.

You're right.

We have to have the character to make it through the bad.

To get to the good in life.

Okay. Come dance with me.

What such wonderful opportunities, you and I.

It would be the real crime for us to throw away our lives, too.

You're right.

Of course I am. What good would that do?

I love you so much, Diane.

David, I love you more than I can ever tell you.

I was totally in love with her, and I always will be.

I regret it now, for never did I imagine the heartache it would cause my school,

my friend, Adrian's family, or even my community.

I guess I just shut it all out of my mind in the instant when I convinced

that Diane was even worth murder.

and hits his three -pointer right at the buzzer. And the Golden Eagles win. They

always do.

Mr. Baker?

Oh, hey.

Hello, Miss Jones.

Hi.

Didn't see you.

What can I do for you?

I just came by to talk to somebody to see what was happening.

I'm sorry, Ms. Jones.

We're still working on it, but the truth is it's a very difficult kind of case.

You mean because it's been so long?

What I mean is when an adult is killed, it's easier to trace their movements and

contacts and so on. But with a high school girl, she literally came in

with hundreds of people, so it's a huge investigative job.

We're doing the best. So are you making any headway?

Ma 'am, I'd like to be more optimistic, but the truth is we're not much further

along.

Don't talk to me, okay?

We'll keep trying.

We will.

You know, I've taken to wearing something of hers.

Every day something belonged to her.

It's very pretty.

Am I still?

When the door slams, I look up.

Take care of yourself. All right.

You be good now, okay?

I will. I'm going to miss you so much. I'll miss you, too.

Greenish brown female sheep.

Me, too.

Oh, God, please just go. I'm dying.

Are you okay?

Oh, Mama, I just have this terrible feeling.

It will get better.

A few days and then you'll be off on your own adventure.

No, I mean, I just have this awful sense that everything is ending.

Nothing is ending.

It's all beginning for you.

And for David.

I'm so afraid.

It's going to be good for you.

You'll see.

Even the separation.

I know you don't believe me.

But it's going to do you good to spend a little time apart from each other.

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

Is the world coming to an end again?

No. She's sad to say goodbye, but something else, too. Don't worry. Give

couple of days in Naples, everything will be fine. Watch.

I know you've shown promise.

Or you wouldn't be here.

But if any one of you think that the honor code does not apply to him or her,

then let me save you some heartache.

Leave now.

Get up and walk away.

You won't like it here.

And frankly, we don't want you here.

That's right. We take the honor code seriously. And I tell you this from my

experience. If you have no honor, you have nothing.

You will abide by the code while you are at Annapolis.

You will abide by the code as long as you wear the uniform.

It takes a very special individual to wear the uniform of a naval officer.

And if you are such a person, we welcome you.

If not, you will surely come to ruin.

You can be declared officers by act of Congress, but honor.

can only come from within.

I just had to tell somebody if David were here. I understand.

I guess.

I couldn't live with such a terrible secret anymore. I'm so sorry.

Look, don't worry, Diane.

I won't tell anyone.

Your secret's safe with me.

Diane's beautiful eyes have always played the strings of my heart

I couldn't imagine life without her.

Not for a second did I want to lose her.

Yeah, well, my boyfriend's going to Boston University.

That's a good school.

Yeah, yeah. He swore he wouldn't date anybody else, but I kind of think he

Oh, he may feel guilty about it, but he'll go out, I'm sure.

Why do men find it so difficult to be faithful?

David won't be cheating on me.

I'm sure. Why not? Because he said so?

No.

Because we have a secret that we have to take to the grave.

Come on. I can't think of anything that's bad enough to make a man keep his

hands to himself once he's had a couple of beers.

There's his one. What is it?

What happened?

Yeah, what did he do? Yeah, what'd you do? Kill for each other?

Yes.

Get out of here.

He was unfaithful with this girl back home.

And I wanted her dead, so he did it.

I saw him do it.

And she died.

Oh, yeah.

He shot her twice. I was there.

State your name, please.

Diane Zamora.

Okay, Diane, you have been advised of your legal rights, is that correct? Your

rights to an attorney and so on?

Yes, sir.

Now, what can you tell us about the murder of Adrian Jones?

Nothing, sir.

Diane, we came a long way.

We know what you told your roommate, your fellow cadet.

Oh, I'm sorry about that, sir, but see, that was just...

Girl talk. I was trying to impress my classmates, and I just... I made some

stuff up just... Well, I don't know why.

So your statement now is that what you told them isn't true?

Yes, sir.

Diane, according to your roommate, your boyfriend David shot Adrian twice.

That's not true.

And you have no idea who did?

No, sir.

Diane, if you're hiding something, anything,

The only way you can help yourself out is to talk to us.

Sir, I was very foolish to say the things I did, but it wasn't true, none

I knew about the Jones girl getting killed and everything, so naturally

what came into my mind, but it was just talk, honest.

It's just for a few days until this business gets cleared up.

Yes, sir. Here are your orders.

You go home to Texas and you rest up after plebe summer.

Think of it as a furlough.

Yes, sir. Very well.

The duty van will give you a lift to the airport.

That's all, Zamora.

Dismissed. Aye, aye, sir.

What

is the

first name that Adrian's mother gave us? David from Cross Country.

Yeah, but he's not the type. We both said so. What is the type?

We dropped the ball on this.

He's a recruiting poster, so I don't put him on a polygraph.

Let's go do that.

Of course, we'll go back to Matt.

There's got to be somebody that knows something about those students.

Hi.

What can I do for you, Midshipman Zamora?

Well, I have these travel orders.

All right.

Looks like that's going to take you into Dallas -Fort Worth.

Yeah, I know. I need to make a stop first in Colorado Springs.

Colorado Spring?

Mm -hmm.

That's Air Force country, isn't it?

Yeah, my fiance's at the academy.

The Air Force and the Navy are big rivals.

Well, I plan to transfer my commission after I graduate. We're both going to be

flyers.

Really? Mm -hmm.

Well, in that case, let's see if we can't find you a plane.

Great. Could you just tell them that Diane will be there as planned? The

leaving on time.

And, uh, one more thing.

Just put greenish brown, female sheep.

That's right.

Now he'll know what it means.

Okay. Thank you very much.

Yeah, but did they believe you?

I don't know. That's not the point.

I was very firm about it. You know what?

I'm just going to keep coming at us from now on.

Well, if they had any hard evidence, they would have brought it with them,

right? I don't know. That's what they do. They just keep... Coming on and on.

Look, the important thing is for us to have to get together.

Yeah, you're right.

United we stand. That's what you told me.

God, I missed you so much.

One minute. I'll be right back. Okay.

The thing that bothers me is that I never thought they'd run out and tell on

without talking to me first. I mean, what kind of honor code is that?

They should have. As fellow officers, they should have. Fellow officers, they

had the obligation to confront me with their suspicions first. That's right,

they did.

They're the ones who built the code, not me.

You're right. They should have come to you first.

You put this behind you?

I didn't know what to do.

Nobody's ever asked me about this until now, so... What time was it?

I don't even know. I was asleep.

Okay, so you were asleep.

What made you wake up?

Well, uh... He knocked on my window.

I need to come in for a minute, all right?

I thought they must have been on a car wreck.

Sammy, you're my best friend, all right?

This never happened. We were never here tonight. We never came in that window.

Understand? Okay. Okay, good. You guys all right? Listen, don't ask any

questions. You were my friend.

What happened then?

Well, I let him in.

David wanted some clothes.

If you need a place to stay, you know you got one right here, man. You know

that.

We need to borrow some clothes, okay?

I'm gonna... I'm gonna be sick.

They're going to come at you with everything they have now. Don't worry

me.

I'm not worried.

You're the most disciplined man I've ever met.

God, I love you.

I love you so much.

And I always will, no matter what.

What happened to the other clothes, the ones they took off?

I don't know. They took them with them, I guess.

Um, I...

I looked in on them at one point because I heard them, like, crying.

I left them alone, and then when I went back later, they were gone.

And I did talk to David a couple days later, and he said that I shouldn't say

anything to anybody ever, and he wouldn't tell me what happened.

We'll get through this, won't we?

Of course we will. And we'll be together forever.

Forever and ever.

That's nice.

You said that before.

But you were the only David on the cross -country team, weren't you?

Sir, I never said I didn't know AJ.

But I didn't kill her.

Says he didn't kill her?

Mm -hmm.

Personally, I believe you, David.

Why don't you let us give you a polygraph? We can wrap this whole thing

Polygraph? You don't have to.

But it would help us out. We can eliminate you as a suspect, move on,

the next name on the list, you know?

I don't know.

Does the Air Force have any objection to a polygraph?

No. No objections.

Graham?

Sir, I have no objections.

Good. That's good.

Were you having a relationship with Adriana Jones?

No.

Did you kill Adriana Jones?

No.

David, I want you to listen to me.

We know you did it.

The machine told us that.

What?

What do you mean?

What did it say?

We know you killed Adrian.

It's not just the polygraph. We talked to your friend Ben about that night. He

gave you up.

He told us about the knock on the window, the bloody clothes, you getting

you and Diane lying down together and crying.

He told us everything, David. We know it was you.

It's your duty to tell the truth, David.

It's a matter of honor.

I did it.

That's better.

Just start with that.

Make a chronology.

Tell us what happened, when, in what order.

You're going to feel a lot better when this is over.

Believe me.

You have a typewriter. It'll make things move faster for both of us.

Okay, I'll get you what you need.

Diane's beautiful eyes have always played the strings of my heart

I couldn't imagine life without her.

Not for a second did I want to lose her.

I thought long and hard about how to carry out the crime.

I was stupid, but I was in love.

Some of the plan worked, some did not.

The plan was to call Adrian and convince her to come out to my car.

That worked.

AJ, it's me, David Graham.

Hey, look, I have to talk to you.

Can I see you?

Well, can you get out of your house for a few minutes later on tonight?

Please, AJ, this is real important, all right?

Who is that?

So, look, can you come tonight?

Midnight.

Please, AJ, this is real important to me, all right?

I'm all twisted up inside, and I don't know what to do, and you're the only one

who can help me, all right?

So you'll be there?

Great.

Okay.

The plan was

to drive her out near Joe Poole Lake.

That worked.

So where are we going?

Just up the road a piece.

I figured we should be alone.

I can't go far, though. No, no.

My folks saw me sneaking out one time before, and they fixed the screen so I

couldn't get back in.

Yeah?

Yeah, my daddy nailed my bedroom window shut so I couldn't sneak out.

So what's going on with you?

The plan was to... This is not easy for me to confess.

Break her young neck and sink her to the bottom of the lake with the weights

that ended up being hit into her head.

That... That didn't work.

What is it?

Come here.

Go ahead.

i can't get her neck we realized that it was either her or us

diane struck her in the back of the head with one of the weights while i held

her

Adrian somehow crawled through the window and, to our horror, ran off.

She ran into a nearby field and collapsed.

I wanted to just jump in and drive off.

We were both shaking and even surprised by the nature of our actions.

Neither Diane or myself were ever violent people.

and just grabbed the 9mm Makarov to follow.

In that short instant, I knew I wouldn't leave the key witness to our crime

alive.

It was either her or us.

So I just pointed and shot.

fired again and i was very confused and scared

i

love you i love you god david we shouldn't have done that i thought

it's time to tell me

Just wanted it to be a dream.

I wanted to be able to drive Adrian back home go to sleep and Wake up back on

December 3rd For you to make my decisions all over again Diane

was constantly depressed from the guilt.

She was also scared. I'd be arrested Really didn't matter however what any

police or detectives found What happened was over?

Adrian was gone And I was responsible.

And it wasn't going away.

Where's the gun, David?

My house.

I wrapped it in a shirt and I hid it there.

Need you to sign this Okay,

David we're going next door so let's put these on

Those are for me.

Yes, they are You

did kill a girl, you know

They're bringing your boyfriend down from Colorado.

He'll be on a different floor, but I could probably get a message to him.

Anything you want me to tell him?

Just tell him, greenish -brown female sheep.

What's that all about?

It's our code.

Greenish -brown is all of them.

Female sheep is a you.

There'll be an official statement later today. Yes, sir.

David, is there anything you'd like to say to Diane?
