GUESTS CHATTER

GLASS RINGS

GUESTS STOP TALKING

It wasn't easy

when Nick's father died,

raising a teenager alone.

But, with a boy like Nick,

well, he is, now, everything a mother could want.

We've been through some hard times.

We've carried each other.

Now I look to the future,

and I know there's nothing that we can't do together.

Thank you.

Go on, open it.

Turn it over.

To Nick, from Mother. Make me proud.

So, to us.

To us all.

Cheers.

Around the table.

THUNDER RUMBLES

You look pale.

How would you know?

Are you taking the Valerian root I got you?

-Mom...

-Finals are next week.

Mom?

What?

Have you...thought about it?

-About what?

-The writer's course? London?

I don't need to think about it.

You know how I feel. Why do we keep bringing this up?

What is that?

Irony?

What's up, dude? You got it?

Thanks, man. You just saved my ass.

Pleasure doing business with you.

You want to know what it says?

-When am

-I

-going to speak French?!

Hey, caught you.

-Are you coming to Ava's party tomorrow?

-I, er, I can't. I'm busy.

Busy? School's almost out.

Whatever.

BELL RINGS Come on!

-What's he got?

-Nothing.

Not a dime.

Unbelievable.

Nic gum.

And a pack.

You wearing the patch, too?

Kind of a mixed message, Pete.

Like the fact that you accepted merchandise from me

and still haven't paid for it.

-I'll get your money. Please...!

-Got money for this crap,

-but not for me?

-No, please!

I'll get your money! Please! Agh!

Don't be such a baby. It's just a scratch.

See you soon.

'She sits up and cries'

A sigh

Long thighs

Gotta fly

Love you, baby

A lie

Why?

-Jimmy, you wrote that?

-Yes, ma'am.

OK, then.

Thanks.

Nicholas, let's see if you can top that. Please.

-It still needs some work.

-It always needs work, get used to it.

Day burns down to night

Burns the edge of my soul

In the night I break into sparks of suns

And become fire's end The dust of bones

Night knifes my breath Swallows whole my tongue

Turn back, reverse, return

In the night I see the real

Concealed in the day's bright lie

Eyes stitched shut White teeth smile

Sleep walks

And talks and feet mark time...

BELL RINGS

OK, I know it's party week, but it's finals, too.

Hey.

Hey, don't look at me like that. I needed a new phone.

-So go buy one at Radio Shack.

-Are you serious?

You know my dad. He gives me no cash.

You got to stand up for yourself, man.

Don't let them push you around like that.

That's easy for you to say, because when you talk, people listen.

When I talk, YOU listen.

That's about it.

I can't, man. OK? I can't.

Hey, Nick, come on. Dude, stop it, stop. Come on, Nick...

Damn it.

OK...

How much does my friend owe you?

Is that enough?

Disappear, asshole.

(You are so broken.)

Aaargh!

What are you looking at?

No. Nothing. I'm just, uh...

more of a Grover guy, that's all.

You're so polite.

The whole "golden boy" thing, right?

Except it's not really you. I mean, I know you sell essays.

You're no better than me.

You're right. I'm a total hypocrite.

DOOR CLOSES

Anybody want to explain?

Um...

she, uh, finds me irresistible.

All right. Newton, I'm not going to suspend you. I know the game.

Just go home today, be back here tomorrow. Try decaf.

What are you doing, Nick?

Wasting your time on a lost soul like Annie Newton?

She has no future. You do. Don't let us down.

Can I leave now?

Hey, Annie.

Where's dinner?

Hey, Victor. Are you hungry?

See?

Get your bony ass out of this chair right now and make him something to eat.

You can't talk to me like that.

-I just did.

-You just going to leave?

What do you want? I got night shift.

-Say something to her!

-It's a little food!

You got nothing else to do all day!

-MUFFLED VOICES:

-You want to fight, then?

-Yeah.

You want to get into this right now?

Discipline your kids, for God's sake!

You don't tell me what to do in my house.

Take some responsibility for your kids. Why won't you talk to her?

My main responsibility...

MUSIC PLAYS ON HEADPHONES

Annie, you going out tonight?

Annie? Annie!

You're leaving?

Later. I'll be back.

I'll be back.

Hey.

Ow!

It's from Seb and Tash. They need those, uh, translations by tomorrow morning.

Yeah, they're done.

-So, you got beat up by a girl!

-Yeah, I don't want to talk about it.

Yeah, don't want to talk about it, huh?

So, are we going to go to Ava's party tomorrow night?

Party.

I'm not going to be here tomorrow night.

Ticket and baggage information.

-London?

-Yeah. The writers' programme at the Royal Academy.

-Really?

No, you're graduating next week, you can't go.

-No, I already have enough credits to graduate.

-Oh, my God!

HE LAUGHS

-LONDON?!

-Ssh!

-London?

-Yeah.

-Wait, does your mom know?

-No.

But she will, when I'm gone.

She just... She won't get it.

-You know, she doesn't get it.

-Yeah.

There's no other way. Do you remember when my dad died?

The first thing that she said to me was,

"Don't worry about it, Nick. This won't change a thing for you."

You know, I'm like, 13, right.

All I want to do is cry, and she's thinking about my future?

She's always had it mapped out.

You know, I stay here, I might as well retire and die.

I mean, my dad didn't even get to retire. He was 46 when he got sick.

I'm not going to let her do that to me.

Hey, baby girl. You ready?

Always.

What for? College(?)

-I'll figure it out.

-Leave the bag.

What are you going to do, Marcus?

Leave the bag, Annie.

Nothing.

Nothing.

# All this feels strange and untrue

# And I won't waste a minute

# Without you

# My bones ache, my skin feels cold

# And I'm getting so tired and so old

# The anger swells in my guts

# And I won't feel these slices and cuts

# Tell me that you'll open your eyes

Marcus!

-Marcus.

-They found the stuff. I got busted.

What did you tell them?

Nothing. You think I'm an idiot?

Police Department. How may I direct your call?

Besides, I'm out on OR. I got a court date in a couple weeks.

-Any idea how they found out?

-Yeah. An idea.

'I'll take care of it myself.'

-Hey, Nick?

-Yeah?

I want to leave, too, man.

-Why?

-Why?

Why?

Cos I'd be the foreigner.

-I'd be American, I have the accent.

-What are you going to do in London?

I'll be a cricket star.

You know, those dudes with mallets?

-I think that's polo.

-I'd be a polo star.

You didn't have any money to afford a cell phone, how are you going to get a ticket?

Do you have a passport?

No.

I need someone to write to, man.

OK. All right. Good luck.

I love you, man.

I love you, too. Take care of yourself, man.

-Don't look back, baby.

-Don't look back.

The airline called. Your flight's been changed.

-I can explain, Mom.

-Can you?

Can you, really?

-I tried to talk to you.

-Why bother?

You've had this ticket for weeks.

You were planning to go no matter what I said.

My God, Nicholas.

You were just going to leave tonight without saying a word?

I feel like I've been living in this house with a stranger.

# Excuse me, do you have the time?

# Automatons can make the dough

You were watching me!

It wasn't me.

-You were watching me by the lockers.

-I didn't do it.

-Then who did?

Thought you were too busy to come.

You want to go to London?

You want to go to London?

Seriously.

Flight leaves in two hours.

Then we'd better hurry up.

What would she think of us right now?

-Your mom.

-Um...

Hmm?

Wow.

That's a nice watch.

So why are you still wearing that beat-up, old thing?

-My dad gave it to me.

-Wouldn't he want you to have a better watch?

It was my dad's.

What are you doing?

Have a good time.

Please, tell them to stop.

Please, tell them to stop.

Think you're so smart! Going to cry? Why don't you cry?

Come on, you little baby. Look at me! Get the hell up!

-Come on, man. Fight back.

-Get off.

-How do you like that?

-Stop it!

-Do you feel good about yourself now?

Now that you turned me in, huh?

I didn't know... You were supposed to be on a plane, Nick!

He can't hear you, idiot!

You're so damn perfect.

-Annie, Annie. It's enough, man! Look at him. Stop.

-Get off of me!

Who's the broken one now?

You are. It's still you.

Come on, come on.

-HE SPLUTTERS

-Still you.

-What'd you say?

-Still you.

-Aargh!

What'd you...?

Oh, jeez!

-He's not breathing.

-Aw, man! What the hell, Annie!

What did you do that for?

-What did you do?

-Shut up.

-What did you do?

-SHUT UP!

-What did you do?

-I am not going to jail for this!

-Oh!

-Now we have to pick him up.

-I'm not picking him up!

-Pick him up!

Just keep moving.

-We got to get further into the woods.

-We know, we got it!

Just keep moving.

Come on, get in here!

Open up!

SHE CONTINUES BANGING ON THE DOOR

-Open up!

-Oh, Christ.

What the hell happened to you?

I killed him.

-What did you say?

-I killed him.

Killed who?

Nicholas Powell, the kid who sold me out.

It got all screwed up.

What am I going to do?

Why the hell did you come here, Annie?

Jesus Christ!

You know I'm on parole, Annie! Why'd you come here?!

I need an alibi, Marcus.

What did I say to you, huh?

You're way out of control.

You should've listened to me. Now get out. Get out!

Don't touch that!

Stolen...stolen...

..stolen...stolen...stolen...

stolen...STOLEN!

I knew I could count on you.

-Guess you didn't use the ticket, huh?

-I don't even know where he went.

See, they return.

Ah, see the tentative movements and the slow feet.

Trouble in the pace and the uncertain wavering.

Anyone?

Come on, guys. We did this poem three days ago.

-Ezra Pound?

-No-one?

Hello?

It's, er, Ezra Pound, The Return.

No-one?

Ezra Pound.

You guys are killing me.

OK. Discussion. Poems we heard in last class.

Jimmy.

Nick Powell's poem. I mean, I didn't get it.

How does sleep talk?

-It's a metaphor.

-It doesn't even rhyme.

-What's your problem, man?

-It's pretentious.

Nick's always trying to make himself important.

-I think Powell has serious issues.

-Whatever, it sucked.

-I liked it.

-Is this a game?

Are you guys playing a game? You think this is funny?

Hello?!

Anybody?

Hello! Hello!

Hello! Hello!

Hello! Can anybody hear me?

Hey, guys. Guys.

Let's talk about this when Nick gets back to class, shall we?

Come on, Mom, answer the phone. Answer the phone.

Oh, I'm sorry. I just had to use the phone.

PHONE RINGS

Hello.

Nicholas Powell?

No, he must be in class right now, Mrs Powell.

Yeah, just a minute. I'll have someone go check if he's here.

Hold on, please.

ON PHONE: 'I'm sorry, detective, what was that?'

-Mom...?

-'He left the house last night at 11.'

-Can you hear me?

-'He's never stayed out all night without calling me. I just...

'I have a bad feeling about this.'

Mom?!

HORN BLARES

Hello?!

Hello?

-Hello?

-Oh, thank God.

Is that better, can you hear me?

I said 18-year-old white male, name's Nicholas Powell.

Possible missing persons case.

What are you looking for, detective?

My son is missing and you're in here.

What exactly are you doing?

I'm looking for anything that can help me find Nicholas.

I could fill out a report, give it 24 hours, but...that's not what I do.

Not when a kid's involved.

-I don't know.

-You know if Nick used drugs or sold them?

-No. Of course not.

-What can you tell me about him?

He's very well liked. He's bright. He's very bright.

He's very bright.

I mean, who is he, really?

As a person?

You have my number if there's any...

Detective?

I found a plane ticket...

-for London.

-Did you call the airline?

He missed the flight. He wasn't on it.

I wouldn't worry too much, Mrs Powell.

-He's only been gone the one night.

-No. Something is wrong.

He...he wouldn't. I know him.

You didn't know about the plane ticket.

Mom. I'm dead.

# Can somebody help him?

# Lost and confused

# He's been here before

# But his mind ain't much use

# Forgot what he came for

# Or even why he's here

# It's all so easy

# On your own 2-20 boy

# It's all so easy

# On your own... #

HE SCREAMS

We need to get a search party up here. Comb these woods.

I spoke with the principal. Nick had a run-in yesterday with a girl at school.

Sorry. Newton. Annie Newton.

Something I should know?

Jack.

We're here to talk to Annie.

She's on the roof.

Some history there?

He used to be a cop.

-What happened?

-It's a long story.

I knew Annie when she was just a baby.

She liked my ties.

Hey, kiddo. What's up?

What do you want now?

Nice.

You know, you asked me to marry you once.

Another lifetime.

Yeah, I guess so.

What did you do last night, Annie?

-I don't remember.

-She was busy cracking my skull.

-You didn't happen to run into Nicholas Powell, did you?

-Who?

Ask her why she killed me?

-We know you had a problem with him in school.

-Do I know you?

Someone called to turn you in yesterday.

You knew that.

Think it was Nicholas?

-What?

-I was with my boyfriend, Marcus, last night.

-Marcus know this?

-Ask him.

They found something by the woods. Putting together a search party, so...

So... I have some homework to do. You'll have to excuse me.

I'll let you get to it.

No more questions? You bought that?

I can't believe this.

You killed me because you thought I called the police on you?

-Was she a sweet baby?

-Everybody has a story.

-You bitch!

-Be careful, you'll break it.

-Why can't I fly it on the roof?

-Because it's not safe.

-Don't pretend you're a human being, Annie.

Come on, please?

-I'll take you to the park sometime. The one by the bluffs?

-When?

Sometime. I'm just a little busy right now.

Hey, Annie. What's gonna happen to you?

Nothing for you to worry about, little man.

Hey, Pete.

There's a search party in the woods. I want you there. I don't care.

Oh, my God, this is a nightmare.

Shit!

Go slowly, keep together, pay attention.

If you find something, call one of the officers.

Try not to disturb the area.

OK. Let's get to it.

Nicholas!

Nick!

-Nicholas!

-Nick!

-Nick Powell!

Nick Powell!

-Nick!

-Nick!

-Nick!

Nick Powell!

THEY CONTINUE TO SHOUT

Nick Powell, can you hear us?!

Nick!

"Day burns down to night

"Burns the edge of my soul..."

In the night I break into sparks of suns

And become fire's end

The dust of bones

In the night I see the real concealed in the day's bright lie

Eyes stitched shut

White teeth smile

Sleep walks

And talks.

THUD

BIRD TWEETS

Oh, jeez.

BIRD TWEETS

I'm alive.

Shit. I'm alive.

-Nick!

-Nick!

-Nick!

THEY SHOUT FOR NICK

-Nick!

-Here! I'm right here!

Nicholas!

Hey, I'm over here!

Here I am, right here. Come here. Come here, boy.

Good boy.

Come here, come here, buddy.

This way, come here. Good boy!

-Good boy!

-Hey, wait. You see me, don't you?

Come here.

Good boy, come here. Good boy.

"To Nicholas, from Mother." Got something here!

Good boy, you can see me, yeah!

You can, come on. No, no! Wrong way!

That way! I think he's onto something.

No! Wait, don't go!

-Nick!

-Nicholas!

Nicholas!

Pete.

Why was Annie calling you?

They'll find him. It just takes some time, you know?

I mean, I... I was literally right there when they found the watch.

They were right there and they didn't find the body.

Nobody knows but us, so... What are you so afraid of?

I, I can't take this. I'm going to the police.

You go to the police, you go to jail.

No... I won't. It was you.

You were right there and you didn't do a thing.

You're in as deep as we are.

Pete, I'm still alive out there. Pete...

Pete!

They know you did it and they'll keep coming back.

Don't think you can run, Annie, cos they'll get you.

Hey, Annie.

I have to go away for a little while.

Are you gonna go away and never come back, like Mom?

Go on, Annie, tell him.

Here. I want you to keep this for me.

-I don't want it.

-It was Mom's.

I know. You need it more than I do.

-You're pretty great.

-Yeah, I know.

Come here, little man.

Do you know what I want more than anything?

Don't be like me.

I ruin everything I touch. OK?

One day, if I'm lucky, maybe I'll get to do one good thing.

Make you proud of me.

How'd you get in here?

Everybody's out there looking for you.

You listening to me?

-I want you out of here.

-No problem.

I'm gone.

Just know...

if anything happens to Victor...

I will come back here and I will kill you.

Whatever you've done, I want no part of it.

So, your mom's gone, your dad married somebody else, you all hate each other.

Does that give you an excuse? Does that make it OK?

Well, you know what?

Don't think about blaming anyone but yourself, Annie.

This is your fault!

Goddamn it, Annie! I'm still alive!

Tell them where my body is!

Oh, that's right! You can't hear me.

You can't hear me, Annie.

Burnaby Police are not offering any information at this point.

We do know forensics are on the scene.

However, night has fallen and with rain in the city...

What's our time frame if he's out there alive?

It depends on his injuries.

-I'd say two, three days, tops.

-All right.

-Nice shop.

-We're closed, man.

-You only work on the old cars?

-No.

What about you work on, say, an '03?

Sure thing, man. Come back tomorrow, I'll sort you out, all right?

Hey, I know you. You're Marcus Bohem.

-You go out with Annie Newton, right?

-Yeah, that's right.

You seen her lately?

No. Well, I see her sometimes.

Hmm. Open relationship.

-You see her Tuesday night?

-Yeah, I was with her on Tuesday night.

-Ooh, school night.

-Yeah.

Because Monday night she got busted for a smash and grab at a jewellery store.

You know, and they took a car the same time.

So you weren't with her that night?

No, I don't know anything about that.

Good. That's good.

No, but she phoned you from the police station?

Right, but I wasn't with her that night, you see?

OK.

How long has it been?

I've been on parole eight months with a clean record.

-You can check with my PO.

-I already did.

OK.

You see Annie, you tell her I want to talk to her.

About a missing person at her school.

-Know anything about it?

-No.

2003 Mercedes S500.

Car that got stolen.

Keep an eye out for me.

Don't worry about it, Mom.

This won't change a thing for you.

You got everything all under control, right?

You always had your...

your fingers in everything. You know, fingering through this house.

Me, my room.

Don't! Don't feel a thing, Mom!

You don't want to ruin your face, your pretty face!

I'm out there in the mud!

I'm dying, Mom, and you're sitting here with your briefs and your herbal tea and your books!

I wish you could see me right now, Mom!

So you know how sick I am of you!

I am sick of you and your perfect world!

I am sick of you cos it's not perfect, you hear me?!

Oh...

Oh!

SHE SOBS

Shut it.

-Did you know you're being followed by the police, Pete?

-Who are you?

Did you know that you were being followed by the police?

No.

Well, you are.

-You're coming with me.

-Where are we going?

You wonder why I'm angry.

Stomping through the forest in the middle of the night, freezing cold,

in the mud, with my good boots on.

Get up, come on.

Cos you guys are sloppy, you don't think.

I gotta clean up your mess or it's gonna be on me.

-You weren't even there, man.

-Doesn't matter. If any of you go down, you'll take me with you.

I can't let you do that. Where you going?

He's in there.

Annie, it's me. We gotta meet. It's Matty.

He says he's going to the cops.

-Where are you?

-I got him at the bridge.

Keep him there, I'll be right over.

She's coming.

All right. You guys did the right thing.

-Man, what are you gonna do?

-What do you think I'm gonna do?

She's out of control, man.

I need you to do something for me.

Look, you gotta leave me alone.

Dean and Matty are up to something, go meet them at the bridge.

-No. I can't take this any more, OK?

-You wanna go missing, too?

Hey, hey, hey! Wake up!

Please, pay attention!

Oh, my God.

Go, go, go, go! Come on, fly! Fly!

Thank you.

What the hell are you doing here? Where's Annie?

-She says you have to talk to me.

-What? Oh, shit.

Hey, baby girl.

This is not right.

Go home.

We've gotta get out of here. There's a tail on him.

There's just no loyalty these days.

Shut your mouth. You need to learn to shut your mouth, or someone's gonna shut it for you.

And who would that be, Marcus? You?

What are you doing?

Go. Go for it.

Marcus, cops.

-Annie!

-Drop the gun, Annie.

-Drop it now!

-Put the gun down.

Hold your fire. Put the gun down!

Annie, stop!

Annie! Annie!

Annie, stop!

Nice.

Come on, Annie, where's Nicholas? Just give it up.

-They'll catch you, Annie!

-Never!

Never!

She heard me.

She heard me! You heard me!

-Baby girl, where'd you get this?

-It was Marcus's.

-150.

-It's worth ten times that.

Yeah, it's worth 20 times that,

but word is you're in trouble and I'm in business, so 150.

200.

I just need a roof right now.

Go on, disappear.

MUSIC: "And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead" by Caterwaul

CHEERING TO MUSIC

I'm sorry.

I saw your face that night, Annie.

And I think right then, you would've traded places with me.

You know, sometimes I wish my mom was dead, instead of my dad.

I always did what she wanted.

You know, and I never even argued.

You know, maybe if I was a little more like you, we both wouldn't be here.

I'm sorry.

Annie.

I know you can hear me.

Just tell them where my body is.

I'm dying, Annie.

I don't have much time left and you're the only one that can save my life.

How messed up is that?

Annie!

(Annie.)

SLAM!

WHISTLE BLOWS

Clear this stuff out of the way. Quit fooling around. Let's go.

Why are we here, Annie? There's no time.

There you are.

I remember you.

You were always so scrubbed.

You were in Miss Vogel's class? She was such a...

She was such a bitch.

That was Fourth Of July weekend.

13 years old.

That's the last thing I did with my dad.

My mom used to take me there.

SEAGULLS SQUAWK AND SEA ROLLS

Come on. Hurry, Annie. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

No. No!

Pete. Pete was here. Annie.

Annie, somebody was here to move my body. Who moved my body?

Think, Annie, think.

It's there, it's right there.

Come on, Annie. It's right there.

Come on, Annie.

Hang on, Nick.

You're doing a great job, decorating committee.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

As you all know.

As most of... No, before...

As most of you probably know, this week, um, has been a tough one.

-Where's Nick?

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

-Don't start, Pete.

-Answer me!

-Just tell her.

Answer me!

You know what's really screwed up about this whole thing?

Nick didn't do it.

What the hell are you saying?

Nick didn't turn you in.

-You're lying.

-No, I lied.

I thought he left town, I lied to save my own ass.

-You're lying.

-And you know what?

-I didn't do it, either.

-What are you talking about?

-YOU killed Nick for nothing. For nothing.

-You're lying.

-Jesus, man.

-Don't believe me. Don't.

-Where's the body?

-Where'd you put the body, Pete?

I know you couldn't do it alone. Who helped you?

Who helped you?

Marcus.

Marcus?

Marcus.

What's going on here?

Little cosy, don't you think?

Miss me, baby boy? Get out.

I said get out!

Where you going to shoot me, outside a cop shop, baby girl?

If you want.

-Or, you can drive.

-OK...I'll drive.

Pete, what are you doing, man?

Keep walking.

-I didn't say stop.

-You're not doing this.

On your knees.

On your knees!

All right.

Pete, no! Pete!

What are you doing, Pete? You don't need to do this, I'm still alive!

God, you're my last chance!

Pete, please! Trust me, this isn't the answer!

If you die, I die, Pete!

Pete, please!

This is not the way out!

It was you.

You called the police on me.

Nick was innocent, I hurt him for nothing.

Yeah, well, that was your choice, wasn't it?

Yeah, so is this.

Jesus Christ.

Wake up, Pete, wake up!

-Stay with me, Pete, come on!

-Nick?

This is really weird.

Pete, where'd you move my body to? Pete, please.

-Where'd you move the body?

-What does it matter, Annie?

-He's dead.

-No, he isn't!

-I saw him, I looked into his eyes.

-He's not dead!

-How do you know that?

I just know, OK?

-Come on, Pete.

-I screwed things up.

-I know. I know, Pete...

-You're the only friend I had.

-I know. Where's my body?

For the last time, where is he?

Where'd you move the body?

In the ruins by the dam.

I'm so sorry, Nick.

-Peter!

-I'm so sorry, please..

-Peter?

-Nick?

Call 911.

-Where's Nick?

-You're OK, Peter.

You want the body? You'd better hurry, baby.

-That water's going to wash him away.

-Have a nice life.

Hey, Annie.

-HE LAUGHS

-Ah!

PHONE RINGS

-Larson.

-You don't have to look for me any more.

-'Annie?'

-I can tell you where Nick is.

'He's still alive.

'I just need you to do one thing for me.'

I left something for my brother, it's in my locker at school.

will you make sure he gets it, please.

I'll take care of it.

Nick's at the dam.

-OK.

-What is it?

-The dam gates open in 15 minutes.

-So, what are you saying?

Anything downstream will be flooded out.

-How much time we got?

-We don't.

DEEP HONKS

Somebody help me! Help!

No, we don't have minutes, we have to cut the flow. Now!

Help me!

Help!

Help me!

Keep looking!

I want you to look everywhere!

There! There he is!

-Come on.

-Let's go!

Got to get some fluids in him now. Get him up there as quick as we can.

(Nick.)

-Got it.

-C collar on.

You get the rhythm?

-Very slight.

-Mrs Powell? This is Detective Tunney.

We found Nick. He's alive.

-We need to get bags in him.

-Shut down. I've got no IV access on that side.

-Damn it.

-I got no pulse.

-BEEPING THEN LONG BEEP

-Charging.

-Clear.

-Charge to 360.

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just tired.

Ma'am, I'm going to have to ask you to step out of the car.

No. I have to be somewhere.

Ma'am! Ma'am!

Teenage male found down rescued from the base of a dam, unconscious...

Nicholas? Please let me be with my son.

-The team will do everything we can.

-He needs me.

-We will do everything we can.

-He needs me.

Now, please.

Get out of the car, put your hands on your head.

Annie, I need you.

I need you, Annie.

Turn off the engine. Get out of the car, hands on your head now!

And what was the status when we found him?

Annie.

This way.

-I just got word a nurse spotted a girl matching Annie's description.

-Stop! Stop.

What?

Nothing.

OK, go.

Hurry.

I'm right here.

I'm in here.

You have some nerve.

No. Mom, no.

-I just need to talk to him.

-Talk?

He can't talk, thanks to you.

-You should hate me.

-Hate you? Yes.

I do, I hate you.

-Excuse me.

-Don't.

Please, don't.

I can't ask you to forgive me.

Stop it, Mom, stop it!

It's OK, she loves you.

What did you say?

Tell her that I'm here.

I don't know how to say this, but...

Just tell her.

He's here.

-Nick.

-Don't.

Don't you talk about my son.

You have to make her listen to you. You have to make her listen.

I can feel him here.

Everywhere.

I can even hear him, I know what he wants.

I don't believe you.

-Tell her that she was in my room.

-You were in his room.

-After I disappeared.

-After he was gone.

What are you doing?

-TOGETHER:

-You read one of my poems for the first time.

I was there, Mom.

I watched you.

I read it with you.

And you couldn't even finish it.

You were hurting too much, and...I see that now.

I never understood what you were going through after Dad died.

How lonely you felt.

But, I'm still here, Mom.

And you have to believe that.

I'm here.

I'm here.

What do you want?

-What do you want?

-I need to see him, just for a minute.

-No.

-I can help him.

-No.

-Please.

I don't know why, but I'm supposed to be here.

I can bring him back.

(I'm so sorry, Nick.)

I didn't see you before.

I didn't know you.

(I wish I could take it all back.)

Nick.

Annie.

Please. Don't go.

Annie. I'm here. I'm right here.

Nick.

Annie.

I see you.

I see you.

Nick...

I wanted to do one good thing.

You did, Annie. You did.

You saved me.

You saved me.

I like your plane.

-What is it?

-Dragonfly 220.

Yeah.

Should you be out here alone?

Where are your parents?

They don't know I'm here.

My sister was supposed to bring me.

But she didn't?

She died.

Well, should we send her a message?

How?

What should we say?

It's your message.

Hey, Annie...

Hey, Annie.

-That's it.

-That's it?
