You think she's gonna be your little girl forever.
Happens overnight, you aren't prepared for it.
The child who vamped for the home videos no longer exists...
...and little habits, gestures stop being cute...
...and start being terrifying.
Keep in mind that in Dante's Inferno, the sinners are not repentant.
They have, in Dante's words, no sting of conscience...
...no guilt...
...not even while they're suffering the consequences of their sins.
The ninth circle of hell is reserved for the worst sinners.
The punishment was to be conscious of time...
...but frozen, unable to act for eternity.
Frozen from the neck down for eternity.
Imagine:. Even the slightest movement would freeze the tears on your face.
How long were you frozen?
-Five minutes? -Three and a half minutes.
Long enough to get a cramp in my leg.
Two minutes.
Now imagine eternity.
Welcome to Dante's ninth circle of hell.
You're dismissed.
""Burn, baby, burn.
That's the name my mom's students call her course in Alighieri Dante."
He wrote The Divine Comedy.
Only it's not actually a comedy, it's a poem, mainly about hell.
"She's grad-school professor in English lit.
And my dad makes the best spaghetti sauce in the universe...
...with ltalian sausage--"
That's it?
I'm spaghetti sauce?
What happened to awesome, award-winning graphic novelist...
...with over 20 awesome comic series to his name?
-Dad, I'm not finished. -What about handsome...
...in a "rugged yet sensitive" way?
-Plays guitar like Clapton? -You don't even have a guitar.
Well, I will buy one, and I will learn.
This is supposed to be a biography. As in, true.
Can we keep the "rugged but sensitive" part?
Please?
-Come on, Dad. I have to do this. -All right.
But, here, check this out.
Okay.
When I was 2, my dad went--
My mom went back to school to get another degree...
...and my dad stopped being an artist...
...so that he could stay home and take care of me.
That's me.
Okay, so, I grew up thinking that that's how all families were.
With, you know, the mom at work...
...and the dad at home drawing comics and making lunches.
So.... But l--
Okay. Sorry.
Okay, but it turns out...
...my family is just unique.
I did it. And you know how you can't even hear yourself talk...
...because your pulse is in your ears, and people are looking at you?
I was totally like that. I felt like I was gonna hurl, but I did it.
I mean, not hurl. My speech, I gave it.
Now I'm never gonna have to do public speaking again, ever.
What is it?
Jas, I thought you were walking me to French class.
-What are you doing? -Excuse me?
We'll talk later.
Inhale, you freak.
At least try to look cool about it.
Did Jason just break up with me?
Guys don't fall in love. They just wanna hook up.
-Friends with benefits. -Oh, I hate that expression.
I don't believe in it.
What planet are you from?
So that's how it is with you and Moss?
See this one?
This is Ryan Zeder.
Stole my cherry and broke my heart.
And all the rest, just random hookups.
This last one's Moss.
And none of them mean anything?
That's the point, girl.
Friends with benefits.
No one gets hurt.
Jason isn't like that.
What do you think he's hooking up with Jessica Rinchley for?
To discuss, like, nuclear disarmament or something?
Get real.
Freak.
Freak. What--? What are you doing?
I don't know.
Why wasn't I good enough?
Hey, sweetie.
It's me. I'm running a little late.
I'll be there in 1 0. Sorry.
Don't worry, I'm going home with Zepher.
Yeah, I'm just getting to the car now.
-Loser. -Bitch.
-What was that? -Nothing. I'll see you later, Dad.
Okay.
Trixie, what are you doing?
God, I'm freezing.
-You want a ride home or something? -No.
Yeah. I don't know.
I have practice. I can give you a ride home if you want.
No.
I mean, I just-- I wanna know-- Just....
What?
-How you do it. -Do what?
All of it.
You know, make it through the day like it didn't matter.
-lt mattered, Trixie. -You said you loved me.
-Look, I don't know-- -lf that's true, then we can fix it.
-Whatever it is, we can fix it. -Trixie.
Come on, because I love you, and--
Trixie, cut it out!
We can fix it, Jason.
It's over.
You don't mean that.
Look, I don't love you, okay?
-Come on, don't cry. -No.
You don't mean that.
"Come back. You don't know where you're going.
That's not hell. It's adolescence.
You can't save her."
You can't save her.
Hey.
Trixie?
Hey, sweetie.
Sweetie, everything okay?
-Trixie, is everything okay? -Yeah, I'm in the shower.
-Yeah? -You"re so gonna owe me, girl.
-Because tonight's the night. -For what?
Party. Here tonight.
Moss is bringing Jason without Miss American Doll...
...orders from moi, and I have a plan for how you're gonna get him.
-But it's a school night. -Are you serious?
Do you want him back or not? Improvise.
Hey. Where's mom?
She's got papers to grade.
-Again? -Yep.
You ready for dinner?
-No. -"Uh-uh." What is that?
Some kind of Neanderthal poetry?
Come on, it's lrish stew.
Well, I can't.
I told Zepher I'd go over and study with her.
You gotta eat.
We have a test.
Her mom's making us sandwiches. I'll probably spend the night.
Well, Trixie, you should've told me this.
I am telling you this.
What, now you don't want me to go study?
Walter, I can't believe you're making me do this.
Don't move.
All finished.
Doesn't really look like her.
She'd never wear that kind of necklace.
You don't know her.
Read the picture.
"Call me."
"57"....
"266."
Hello.
Hi, it"s Laura Piper. You drew my picture the other day.
Yeah, I remember you.
When we met, he was this outlaw artist.
He had some dark past...
...which made him seem haunted and broken.
He slept in this big, drafty studio.
No job.
He was everything my parents disapproved of.
So of course I married him.
And now he's a better wife than I am.
The only time we get passionate...
...is when I put the recycling in the wrong bin.
And now you love me, right?
No.
I love the parts of you that remind me of my husband.
I'm sorry.
I'm being honest, so you'll let me go.
-Spend the night with me. -Maybe next time, Seth.
No. Laura.
-Look, I'm all out of stash. -What else you got?
All right.
Caveat emptor.
Buyer beware.
I'm all ready.
Are you sure this is gonna look good?
Show some faith, girl.
And take off your bra.
What?
Trix, if you want to go down there dressed in a snowsuit, be my guest...
...but it isn't gonna be mission accomplished.
-But this is not the-- -Look, Trix.
You have one shot at this.
And the rules:.
You're not gonna even look at Jason.
But you are gonna flirt your ass off with everyone else.
She looks so wicked, huh?
See you later, man.
-All right. -Bye.
-What's up, bro? -Yeah, bro.
-We're gonna roll. -Jason's totally sloshed.
He was kind of cute.
Oh, that is so disgusting.
Dude, you're chasing 1 1 beers with a quart of milk.
It's for my bones.
It worked.
Strip poker?
Totally inspired suggestion.
One, two, three.
Two heads, two tails. No blood. Again.
One, two, three.
Three heads, one tail. It's the Trix.
Finally. Butts or boobs? Butts or boobs? Butts or boobs?
I don't want to.
Come on, Trix.
All right, game face. Butts or boobs? Butts or boobs?
Yo, just cool it, man. All right, Mr. T-shirt.
What are you doing?
Nice. Got a little tongue.
-Damn, Trix. -Quit stalling.
Come on, Trix. Butts or boobs? Butts or boobs? Butts or boobs?
Come on, Trix. You can do it.
Smile.
Give it to me, Moss. Give me that.
-Come and get it. -Give it to me, Moss.
-Get it. -Seriously.
-Give it to me. Stop. No, stop. -Yo, Moss. Lay off her, jerk!
Man, what do you care? She's just some skeeze you dumped.
-What the crap was that all about? -What?
I don't know. I'm wasted.
You're the one who told me to make him jealous.
Not by hanging all over Moss.
Moss? I thought he didn't mean anything.
"Friends with benefits."
You're such a bitch.
Hey, she's in our room?
We can use Mom's.
You okay?
Do you remember the first thing you said to me?
He's coming.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Yeah, sure, I do.
Trixie.
He raped me, Daddy.
-You"ve reached the office of.... -No, Laura.
-Where is she? -I don't know.
Don't worry, babe. We're almost there.
Put your boots on the side and stand on this...
...while I collect your clothes, okay?
Hi, I'm Dr. McKelvie.
-It's time to start the exam. -Okay.
I'll be right outside.
Hi, Trixie. The nurses told you...
...that we're gonna be collecting your clothes.
I'm also gonna be asking you some questions.
Were these the clothes you wore?
Yes.
And what about the underwear?
I wasn't wearing any.
How did this happen?
I burned myself.
Have you douched, urinated or defecated since the assault?
No.
Have you had consensual sexual intercourse in the last five days?
Have you had sexual intercourse in the last five days?
This was...
...my first time.
Swab, please.
Lift your arm up for me, honey.
Now, this is just a little pinch, okay?
Slide, please.
Okay.
-Now, this is gonna feel a little cold. -No.
Don't touch me with that. Don't touch me with that!
-Just take it away from me! -All right. Stop.
Just get away from me! I don't want--
Stop touching me! Just stop touching me!
-Trixie! Trixie. -Mommy. Mommy.
Oh, honey.
I'm here.
Earth to Mike.
Mike?
I think the parents can talk to you now.
Daniel and Laura Stone.
So there's no internal injury. Just a little bleeding.
And that doctor actually used the word "lucky."
You didn't tell me she was at Zepher's.
Well, you weren't home to tell. Do you wanna get into that now?
Mr. And Mrs. Stone? I'm Detective Mike Bartholomy.
-I've been assigned to your case. -Have you arrested him yet?
Well, it's not that easy.
Want me to show you how easy that is?
Daniel.
I'd like to speak to your daughter, if I could.
And what were you drinking last night?
Soda with some rum. I don't know.
And anything else?
Any drugs? You know, pills or...?
-I can't-- -You'll have to speak up. I'm sorry.
Nothing. No drugs.
You had said that you were yelling or shouting...
...when Jason raped you.
Why did your friend Zepher not help you?
I mean, she couldn't hear you when you were screaming?
She was with Moss down the hall.
There was music, and it was-- It was really loud.
I don't know. I don't--
You had mentioned that you were dancing...
...and that you were making out with lots of guys that night...
...and that at one point, you took your shirt off...
...and you exposed yourself.
I--
I was trying to make Jason jealous...
...because he had broke up with me, and...
...I love him.
Trixie, did you consent to have sex with Jason Underhill last night?
No.
The doctor said that there was no semen found inside of you.
Did Jason use a condom?
He....
He...
...pulled out. You know, onto my stomach.
I know this is hard.
But I have seen with these things before, you know, a lot of girls...
...think they're ready to have sex and then they change their minds...
...after the fact.
Are you saying that my daughter's lying?
No, I'm not.
I just want you to understand that even if Trixie...
...is willing to testify, you may not get the outcome that you're hoping for.
She's 1 5 years old.
Kids are having sex a lot younger than that.
And according to the medical report...
...there wasn't significant internal trauma.
Do you have any children?
I didn't think so.
Mr. Moose?
You must be exhausted.
Yeah.
No. Don't go yet.
Okay.
Best transportation?
Batmobile.
Best costume?
Wonder Woman.
Best super-power?
-Flight. -Flight.
Yeah.
We haven't played that game in ages.
Go to sleep.
I'll get your mom.
No, Dad, don't-- Don't turn it off yet.
Okay.
Mr. Moose.
Nice to have him back?
-Mom? -What?
Do you think I'm a bad girl?
No. Oh, no, honey.
I feel like it sometimes.
You're just growing up.
It's something we all have to do.
Then...
...why weren't you there?
I needed you.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
It's so hard to believe.
We've had that boy over to our house for dinner.
I remember saying to myself...
...if she's gonna get involved at her age...
...at least he's a good choice.
Who is he?
It doesn't matter, Daniel. It wasn't about him.
I'm gonna take Trixie out of school for a little while.
You should get some sleep.
-So that's it? -What do you want me to do?
I want you to feel something. Say something.
What's happened to you, Daniel?
Why didn't you answer your phone? Why didn't you answer your phone?
Were you out screwing him last night...
...while your daughter was getting raped?
I could kill someone right now. No.
I could kill you.
I worked so hard to change the person I used to be.
I did that for Trixie.
And I did that for you.
That's how I'm feeling.
I'm gonna sleep somewhere else.
Oh, God.
-You want some bacon? -Thanks.
Spinach and lentil soup.
-Are those chocolate chips? -Yep.
-You want some sprinkles? -No.
Oh, okay.
Linguine Pescadoro.
Here's some oatmeal. Oh, I forgot the milk.
You don't drink coffee.
I'm going back to school.
Slut.
Zepher.
Hey.
Are you still mad?
Jeez, Trixie. I told you to make him jealous, not ruin his life.
What?
You told the police that Jason raped you?
-Maybe you can back off now. -Back off? But he raped me.
-So you don't believe me. -Jeez, Trixie.
Like, how many times have you done it since you met him?
Get real.
I wish Jason Underhill would rape me.
Jason, have a seat.
Hang on.
Okay.
-Jason, did you threaten Trixie? -No.
Did you force her to have sex with you? Did you force her?
No, I didn"t do anything to her.
But you had sex with her, though?
Yeah. I mean, she started it.
She was trying to get us back together.
I wanna ask you again.
Jason, did you force Trixie to have sex with you?
Force her?
Man, she was, like, all over me. She was begging for it.
He's lying.
--was begging for it. And as she was begging for it...
...did you know that she was a virgin?
Yeah.
She was a virgin back in October back when we first had sex.
-Oh, man. Check it out. -What?
Who's Danny Stone?
Trixie's dad.
Where's Akiak?
It's Alaska.
I know he's making her do this to me.
Man, I'm gonna screw him up.
We're trying to protect you, honey.
We know that it wasn't your first time.
-Which we're not mad about. It's just-- -I don't wanna talk about it.
Don't I get any privacy?
Isn't that some kind of basic right or something?
-Hello. -Laura? Don't hang up again, please.
We need to talk.
-It"s not about us, it"s-- -Wrong number.
Laura--
Dad.
Oh, my....
-What does it mean? -Go inside.
-But, Dad, what--? -Just go.
Too many lies, Mike. The girl lies to her parents about where she's going.
Come on, what teenager hasn't?
-Lies about being a virgin. -Look--
The girl is drinking, stripping--
A 1 5-year-old girl does not put herself...
...through an examination like that if nothing happened.
The ER doctor said that it is a definite possibility.
Seems like you're going on instincts here. That's not a case.
She was trying to make Jason jealous...
...and it was her friend's idea, she'll testify to that.
Oh, yeah? Not so fast.
Apparently Trixie's BFF isn't such a best friend.
-What do you mean? -Zepher said there was no music.
-What? -Zepher claims...
...she turned the music off when she went upstairs.
Said it was dead quiet down there where the quote-unquote rape was.
Trixie didn't scream.
She didn't even call out.
Even though she knew her best friend was right upstairs.
Hey, buddy. What's going on?
Why do we dream?
Because Angelina Jolie doesn't go to Bethel High?
Well, that could be one reason.
And Freud might even agree with you.
He said that dreams were a royal road into the unconscious...
...which is made up of all the forbidden wishes you ever had...
...and wish you didn't.
So why do we dream?
-Trixie? -Wait. I got a good one.
Okay, Moss.
Me and Jason are skating at regionals and a pass comes my way.
And then, all of a sudden, my stick turns into a piece of spaghetti.
That was my dream. For real.
As blatantly Freudian as that is...
...I'd really like to hear from someone else.
Trixie?
I don't dream.
Class, we talked about the phones.
-Check it out. -What?
-Nice ones, Trix. -Yeah.
Look at this.
Yeah!
-I don't remember. -She was getting raped.
She can't remember the color of his shirt.
-Why don't you do your job. -Daniel.
I can't prosecute this if she can't remember half that night...
...and misrepresented the rest.
I'm not lying. I mean, you're saying I'm a liar.
I mean, l-- Look, lied about the sex...
...because I didn't want you to think I was a slut.
Trixie, what time did the assault take place?
-What time? -I don't know.
Did he grab you by the arms or the hair?
-I can't remember. -Did the assault begin in the bedroom?
-I can't remember. -Was there loud music?
-Yes. -No, there wasn't.
What, it was between 1 :30 or maybe 2:30?
-He was pinning you down? -I just can't remember.
-It's okay, honey. -No.
It's like there's holes in my memory. I--
I can't describe it.
No, what do you mean? Describe it.
Well, it's like there's gaps.
I don't know. It's-- It's like some things I know...
...and then it's more like dreaming.
I don't know. Look, I'm not lying.
I just-- I can't remember.
Ketamine?
-I don't know. -What?
Ketamine is a date-rape drug.
It can cause memory lapses like this.
He probably put it in her drink. Do you remember, did he make your drinks?
No.
-I don't know. -Call the hospital.
If they have a blood sample, we can use that.
-Absolutely. -What would that mean?
For one, it could account for a lot of Trixie's inconsistencies.
And if drugs were involved...
...it means Jason will be tried as an adult.
Okay, but what are you gonna do about it now?
Nothing. We do the blood work first.
Nothing? All right, but what about the pictures he put all over the internet?
We traced that call back to Moss' cell phone, not Jason Underhill.
-One step at a time. Calm down. -You wouldn't be telling me...
...to calm down if this was your kid.
No, if it was my kid, I'd be thrilled. That would mean she'd still be alive.
My daughter OD'd two years ago.
She was 1 8.
Her name was Rose.
He was piss.
You think he's gonna try to take a bite out of me next time?
I"m sorry.
I, like, totally suck as a friend.
I didn't believe you.
No one believes me.
I mean, date-rape drug?
That's pretty gothic.
He's out on bail, you know.
He doesn't have to walk around in one of those funky orange jumpsuits...
...does he?
I'm still gonna be like the school's designated germ.
True.
Thanks.
-Hey, what about your dad? -What about him?
Being arrested for murder in Alaska when he was 1 8?
He was my best friend.
Sorry. I should've knocked.
Hey, dude.
Could you score some sex drug for me?
I need some help getting laid.
I bet you do.
What's going on?
Here.
I'm sorry. Just.... My parents made me do it.
-Don't call me anymore, okay? -But it's all a lie.
I didn't do it.
-Mom, have you seen my boots? -I think they're by the door.
Hi. Is your mom home?
How do you know my mother?
Is that the door?
Seth.
I don't believe this.
-Can you go up to your room? -I was gonna go outside.
Then go.
-I can't find my boots. -Use mine.
Are you out of your mind?
I just need to talk to you, okay, for, like, five minutes.
What are you doing here? This is where I live.
-My husband is supposed to be here. -Yeah, I know. I'm sorry.
-I didn't do it. I swear. -I believe you, son.
There must be some reason why they're pressing charges.
Somebody's lying.
-They must've just made it up. -That's pretty unlikely, son.
I knew that girl was trouble.
-I didn't give her drugs. -I know you didn't.
But everyone in the town thinks you did.
The university, they're dropping your scholarship.
I'm sorry.
Trixie. Let's go.
I'm coming.
Danny...
...I think we should drop the case.
-What? No. We're going after him. -What if we lose?
What are you talking about? He drugged and raped her.
-What if no one believes her? -Why would--?
Danny, please.
I'm trying to protect her. I don't want her to testify.
Please.
You have to trust me.
Go back.
-You missed practice. -Oh, screw practice.
Dude, you're faced.
-lf coach sees you-- -Well, screw coach.
-Come on, we'll take you home. -Get your hands off me, man.
Dude, chill.
Get in the car.
Wasted.
Favorite super-power...
...invisibility.
Just ignore them.
How do you ignore people that think you're a freak?
You learn how, believe me.
Hey, it's gonna be okay.
Okay?
Wanna come in?
All right. I'll be right back.
I got it, I got it.
-All right, cool. -Right here.
Dad.
-Let's go, man! Go! -Move it, move it!
Thank you.
-Trixie? -Just-- No.
-Just leave me alone. -Why are you doing this to me?
-You did this to me. -Yeah? What?
-You know what you did. -Oh, yeah?
-You're a liar! -Let go of me. I hope you die!
I hate you.
-You son of a-- -Dad.
What are you doing, huh?
-What'd you do, huh? -What the hell?
-Get up. -Dad!
What did you do, huh? What did you do to her?
What did you do?
You stay away from my daughter.
-Understand me? -Yeah.
You stay away from her, or I swear I'll kill you!
Go.
Trixie?
Trix.
Daniel, slow down. He did what?
Hang on.
No. I'm on my way. I'm on my way.
-You haven't found her yet? -I've looked all around here.
-Where's Jason? -I have no idea.
-Oh, God. -Listen.
I'm gonna drive around and look.
Why don't you go back home, wait for her there in case she shows up.
All right? If she does, call me.
Trixie?
-No, get away from me. -Why did you run?
You okay?
No, you....
You scared me.
Come on. Come on, let's go home.
Come on.
Trixie.
-Something happened. -She's exhausted.
-She needs to lay down. -Daniel.
Laura, everything is gonna be all right.
This will help.
Thank you.
There are so many different words for snow in my other language.
""Qanuk"" is snowflake.
""Natquik"" is drifting snow.
""Nevluk"" is clinging snow.
""Qanisqineq"" is snow floating on water.
""Nutaryuk"" is freshly fallen snow.
-Hello? -Is this Daniel Stone?
Yes, it is.
--police department. I thought you should know....
Thank you.
Jason Underhill killed himself last night.
He jumped off the Prospect Street bridge.
Do you think it hurts to die?
Do you think you go somewhere after?
I don't know.
I wonder if it's like it is here.
If there's popular dead people and geeky dead people...
...and if they all hang out together...
...or keep to themselves, you know?
Hop in.
-Where are you going? -Same place you are.
-What's this? -A home movie.
Push play.
You thought you"d get away, huh? You think you"d get away with this?
What did you do to her?
Stay away from my daughter or I"ll kill you.
-Who is it? -It's Daniel Stone and Jason Underhill.
The cell owner is a Steven Nazlin, 1 8-year-old kid.
He saw the fight start and he recorded it.
He brought it in. I've e-mailed you a copy.
-Are you sure it's them? -Nazlin lD'd the two of them.
Stone claims that he never saw Jason on the day that he died...
...and the time stamp on that video, it's the same night.
Hello, Trixie.
-ls your dad here? -My dad?
He's in the shower.
Well, maybe you could tell me something.
I just wanted to know about that night that your dad ran into Jason.
-Well, he didn't. -Well, let's just say that he did...
...and let's just say that they had a fight and that it was about you.
Or maybe you wanna add something.
Like what?
Like what happened after the fight.
But there wasn't a fight.
Or where did your father go afterward?
-Where did you go? -I wasn't there.
Lying isn't gonna help, Trixie.
I'll go get my dad.
Well, you just tell him that I was here, but I'll be back.
Okay.
Hey. Where you going?
-He doesn't believe me. -What? Who doesn't believe you?
The policeman. He was here.
-The detective was here? -Yes.
Trixie, what did you tell him?
I don't wanna be here anymore. I just wanna go away.
Wait, wait, wait. Trixie, what did you say and what did he say?
No. I don't want to tell you. You won't believe me either.
Wait. What? Wait a minute. Hey. Hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
It's all right. Calm down, calm down.
You know the word that Jason wrote on the house?
It was ""kass"aq. ""
It means outsider, not part of the tribe. It also means not trustworthy.
That's what they used to call me.
My father left us. My mother took a job teaching in the village.
So we lived there.
I was the only white kid.
I had to fight my way through all of those years...
...and I became so filled with rage and hate.
And my friend Cane was the only person who was there for me.
Cane. Cane.
Cane.
But the real reason that they blamed me was because I wasn't one of them.
After I was arrested, they let me go.
And then I left my home because I didn't think...
...I had anyone there who believed in me.
But you do.
No matter what you've done, I will not leave you.
-lt makes no sense. -What doesn't?
It's the timing.
Why would Daniel kill Jason...
...when the ketamine had just turned the case around for them?
I mean, why now?
That doesn't add up.
What am I missing?
You know what....
-Mike, what are you doing? -It's okay. I'm all right.
Look.
-Jason is drunk, right? -Right, yeah.
I mean, his whole life had crashed down around him.
So he's-- You know, he's railing at the moon.
-He's railing at his bad fortune. -Yeah.
You know, he's acting it out. I mean, he's hanging on.
I don't think he had any intention of jumping.
And then Daniel approaches. Right? They argue. Right?
It becomes violent.
And, you know, Jason--
You know, he tries to hang on, but he can't, and he falls.
I'm okay.
Right?
-What is it? -I don't know.
-You got a bag? -Yeah.
Yeah. Hey.
It's possible.
Now, we also found some metal slivers under Jason's fingernails...
...which suggests a struggle.
You know, he could've been hanging on to his attacker...
...as well as the railing, digging into his arm, trying not to fall.
So, what about blood or skin traces?
That river's like a big washing machine.
Well, how long will this blood work take?
I can have an analysis by the end of the day.
All right. I'll be waiting.
Forward, the light brigade Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew Someone had blundered
Their"s not to make reply Their"s not to reason why
Their"s but to do and die
Into the valley of Death Rode the 600
T ennyson's "Charge of the Light Brigade"...
...is a tragic story of miscommunication...
...between a commander and his soldiers...
...which caused a group of 600 cavalrymen to charge...
...springing them into the host of enemy cannons.
But was it miscommunication or the result of ineptitude...
...of the generals who ordered the attack?
-Bartholomy. -Got the results.
O-positive.
-And Jason"s? -D-negative.
Looks like you've got a murder on your hands.
And you still have Trixie Stone's blood work?
Yes. She a suspect?
One of them.
Well, I can"t open up a sealed rape kit.
-Why not? -Because it was taken...
...when she was considered the victim, not a potential criminal.
You'd need a court order, if you could get one.
-Hello? -Mr. Stone, it"s Detective Bartholomy.
-What do you want? -I"m gonna need blood samples...
...from both you and your daughter.
-Why? -To compare...
...with the evidence we found at the bridge.
We believe that you and Trixie...
...could've been the last two people to see Jason.
Look, I told you, Trixie didn't kill Jason.
Well, this will eliminate her as a suspect then, won't it?
All right. But you have to come by the house.
I'm not dragging her back down to the station or into some lab.
That's not a problem.
Mrs. Stone, we're here to talk to your daughter and your husband...
...about the murder of Jason Underhill.
Murder?
We'll need some blood samples.
Dad, where are we going?
We're leaving.
We're going someplace that's safe for us.
What? What are you doing?
There's just been too many lies, Trixie.
-Stop saying that. I'm not lying. -lt doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter what the facts are. You're guilty if people think you are.
-But I'm not. I told the police the truth. -Yeah, but you lied to me.
I....
I was so ashamed.
I didn't want you to think I wasn't good.
I bought those drugs.
I....
I didn't even know what they were.
I don't know how it happened.
I can't remember.
He started kissing me and it felt-- It felt like it used to.
And I wanted that so bad.
And then...
...when he started--
When we started....
This is good. Friends with benefits now.
He said that. "Friends with benefits."
And I told him to stop.
No, Jason. I don't--
What? Don't tell me you don't want this.
No, I don't. Jason.
Stop!
Wait. Let go.
Let-- Let go of me.
Let go of me.
Dad.
What's happening?
Dad, what's happening?
Don't worry. Everything's gonna be all right.
I didn't do it.
I didn't push Jason. I didn't even see him after, I swear.
Dad, you have to believe me. I didn't do this.
Daddy, I didn't do this.
I know you didn't, sweetie...
...because I did.
I threw Jason off that bridge.
Out of the car, please.
Dante stood at the gates of hell...
...and read the warning written above them:
All hope abandon, ye who enter here.
And then he continued through them anyway.
He wrote about sinners in the nine circles of hell.
And I realized there should be another one.
One reserved for those of us who have lied to ourselves...
...by pretending we aren't hurting the ones we love.
The tenth circle.
When she was a baby, I used to hold her while she slept.
Everything I lost in Alaska...
...there it was right in my arms.
Like a second chance.
I never doubted she was raped.
-I had to protect her. -That's why you killed Jason.
I was picking up dinner...
...and I heard her screaming.
Then I saw him grabbing her, and I just snapped.
-I followed him to the bridge. -And then what?
Then I made sure he'd never hurt my family again.
Did you struggle? Choke him? Hit him? What?
What difference does it make?
It's over.
It's all over.
Did I tell you we named her after Dante's lover?
In The Divine Comedy, she lead Dante into paradise.
It was Daniel's idea to call our baby Beatrice.
By the time we got her home from the hospital...
...everyone was already calling her Trixie.
Tell us what you know, Laura, about how Jason died.
-I'm all out of stash. -What else you got?
All right.
Caveat emptor.
Buyer beware.
-Does your husband know about this? -No.
Mr. Stone, could you come with me, please.
What is she doing here?
Danny, I told them what happened.
You told-- What are you talking about?
Danny, listen to me.
I didn't go back home like you told me to.
I started to, but then I saw him--
No, no, no. Don't listen to her. She's lying.
-Somebody is. -No, no, no.
-Just get her out of here. -Please.
-Get her out of here. -Danny, listen to me.
I saw him, and I stopped my car.
Where's Trixie?
Why are you ruining my life? Why are you doing this?
Ruining your life? You raped my daughter.
I didn't rape her. She wanted it. She was asking for it.
-You know where she is. -I don't know.
-I don't care. -Tell me where she is.
I don't know where your daughter is!
-Where is she? -I don't even care!
And I froze.
A thousand thoughts went through my mind.
It would've been all over for us...
...but I grabbed his hand.
I didn't want him to fall.
I couldn't-- I just couldn't.
I'd blamed him for hurting Trixie.
But it was my fault.
I wasn't home.
I wasn't there for her.
For either of you.
You couldn't have held on to him.
He was drunk. He weighed 1 70 pounds.
He fell, hit his head on a rock in the river.
He probably died instantly.
In any event, he wouldn't have lasted 30 seconds in that water.
But if you had come forward earlier with the truth about the drugs...
...then Jason never would've even set foot on that bridge.
A young man did not have to die here.
I know.
Well, I'm not gonna arrest anyone at this point.
But there sure as hell will be an inquiry.
Go home.
Thank you.
And I'm sorry about your daughter.
I know....
Thank you.
Sometimes it got so cold in Alaska...
...that a mug of water thrown into the air...
...would harden like glass before it ever hit the ground.
One wrong move, and everything can shatter.
That"s what it feels like to watch a child grow up.
You have to let go not knowing if she"ll go to pieces or land softly.
All you can do is keep watch.
All you can do is try your best to break her fall.
