[DETECTIVE] There's b*ll*ts flying,

This lady took one in the leg.

Kid's just a little good luck

shy of a m*rder charge.

What about the girl, Ariana?

That's a pretty name.

There's no sign of her either.

I'm thinking that he offed her

and the landlord.

This is what happens when your partner

reads one book on serial K*llers.

- [SIGHS]

- So, come on, what do you think?

- Is he one?

- It's not that simple.

There are a number of dispositive

factors that I'm not seeing.

And the nature of the crime's

inconsistent with his

Or "crimes", right? What about the girl?

What about the landlord?

We got no w*apon. We got no bodies.

No, we know he has a g*n. There's

blood on the floor of the house.

There's signs of a struggle, and

there's a b*llet hole in the glass.

- It's circumstantial.

- Yeah, but what if he is?

What if we caught one?

Did he tell you what he was doing

f*ring a g*n at Rockefeller Center?

Yeah. Uh, him and the girl, they

wanted to scare someone, he says.

- Who?

- Won't say.

Says it wouldn't serve.

Huh.

So, what do you think?

This is what you do, Professor.

- Let me take a look.

- Yeah?

Danny.

How are they treating you?

Just like everybody else, I guess.

Well, I'm just here to talk.

About what happened with Ariana. I know.

Do you know where she is, Danny?

No.

Like I told the police,

I haven't seen her since

what happened on the street.

Well, the police can't find her either.

What happened to Yitzhak, your landlord?

I don't know.

Well, if you can't tell me

where they are now,

can you tell me how you ended up

living with them in that house?

It was a rooming house.

I was rooming there.

Danny, I'm trying to help you.

Okay.

W When did you first meet them,

Ariana and Yitzhak?

Junior year, high school.

Could you be as precise as possible?

Um, 1977. Spring. The sun was shining.

[CHUCKLES]

I wasn't a very popular kid at school.

[DANNY] Turns out that sad and moody

didn't do me any favors at home either.

Would you just leave him alone?

[MARLIN] He lives.

What is this place, a hotel?

[SNORTS] "Can't you just

leave him alone?"

[CANDY] Let's hustle.

We're gonna be late.

Want me to drive you to school?

Sure.

I'll make you a BLT to take with you.

- Look at me when I'm talking to you. Okay?

- [EXHALES SHAKILY]

[CANDY] Danny, let's go.

I can't be late.

Yeah, well, I'm all you've got, Candy.

So, what the f*ck does

that say about you?

Have a nice day.

[CANDY] Lunch.

Okay, let's go. Come on.

Man, you have got to get yourself

some stickers or something.

It's so barren in there

it's full-on tragic.

What's up, Jonny?

Oh, you've got that look again.

Bad sh*t this morning?

Your assh*le stepfather?

God, I hate him.

Well, do you wanna see a thing?

- Sure.

- All right, pick a card. Any card.

- That one. Yeah.

- This guy? Okay.

Where's Mike?

Uh, that varsity thing

in Philly, remember?

- I thought that was over today.

- No.

He's coming tonight though.

He's coming to Joey Lathem's party.

We're going, right?

- Yeah, sure, I guess. [STAMMERS] I

- Hey, freak.

assh*le.

- Are you sure we're invited to that party?

- She put up signs.

The whole class is invited.

I'll come get you at 7:00.

No. Don't come to my house.

I'll meet you in the courtyard.

Okay. Don't blow me off.

- I'm not gonna blow you off.

- And, uh, check your pocket.

And is that your card?

[CHUCKLES] No. [CHUCKLES]

I'll see you later, man.

- See ya.

- [SCHOOL BELL RINGS]

- [JONNY] It's good.

- [DANNY] Thanks.

[JONNY] Is it Adam?

[DANNY] Mm-hmm.

You really miss him a lot, huh?

Yeah, sometimes. Not all the time.

'Cause you can never tell when

it's gonna come on, you know?

Yeah.

It's like I'm drowning

all of a sudden, you know?

It's like that with me

and my dad, I guess.

Even though I never really

thought about it that way.

Come on. Let's go.

Still makes me sad when I think

about him. I just miss him.

You don't know what it was

like with Adam and I.

We weren't just identical on the

outside. We were inseparable.

Can you tell me about him?

Do you want to talk about

what happened to Adam?

No.

Well, no matter the circumstances,

I'm really sorry.

Loss sucks.

Is that your professional opinion?

[CHUCKLES] Something like that.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

- [DANNY] No, no, no.

- Man, I hear the music.

I think we should just go home,

Jonny. I don't I don't

- I don't think I don't thi I

- Are you sure we're invited to this?

- [CHUCKLES] Yeah, man.

It'll be good.

[PEOPLE LAUGHING, CHATTERING]

Do you see Mike?

[JONNY] Uh, no, but he

said he'd be here.

Yo. Yo, yo, yo. I don't

believe what I'm seeing.

- Danny Sullivan.

- [CHUCKLES] Hey, Mike.

- I'm so happy you're here, bud.

- Good to see you, man.

It's good to see you. How'd

you get him to come here?

You little sneak. Come along. Come

along. There are libations, my boy.

Hey, uh, how was, um, basketball?

I'm good, so it was good.

- [CHUCKLES] Humble much.

- You want a beer?

- No, I'm cool. Yeah, I'm good.

- It might help you loosen up.

- Jonny boy? [SNIFFS]

- Yes, please.

So how'd you play? How'd it go?

- Ah, dude, we played St. Ann's, all right?

- Right.

I put up 18 points, okay. One

board shy of a double-double.

You should've seen

this one play, Danny

[MIKE] Damn.

Who-Who-Who-Who is that? Who is that?

That, my friend, is Annabelle Stone,

the hottest of the hot.

And she's a transfer.

[CHUCKLES] Don't stare, man.

- I'm not staring.

- Do you wanna go talk to her?

- I don't wanna talk to her.

- You should.

I'm not gonna go talk to her.

- They got a bottle over there.

- Yeah, let's go hit the bottle.

I wanna do that more than

talk to the pretty girl.

["LOVELY DAY" PLAYING]

[CHATTER, LAUGHS]

Hi, I'm Annabelle.

Danny. Hi.

How you doing, Danny?

I'm do I'm doing good.

How are you doing?

I'm good. You okay?

I'm okay. Why?

'Cause you're out here on your own.

I like my own company.

- You smoke?

- Mm-hmm.

Sometimes. A few times, anyway.

Do you wanna get high?

Yeah, totally.

Cool.

You have a joint or something?

Oh, no, I thought that

y you had a joint.

I'm so I'm sorry.

I'm That was stupid. I

[CHUCKLING] Come on, sit with me.

[INHALES SHARPLY]

[MARLIN] A ghost.

Who are you staring at?

[CHUCKLES] Come on, sit with me.

[INHALES DEEPLY]

I have homework.

Well, get inside then.

Go.

[INTERVIEWER] So that was

the first time you saw Yitzhak?

Yes. [SIGHS]

And Ariana?

[SLURPS, SWALLOWS]

I didn't see her. Not that night anyway.

- But she was with him?

- I don't know.

Maybe not yet. It was years

ago. I don't remember.

So do you think that Ariana's

with him now?

I keep telling you.

I don't know where she is.

[SIGHS]

Yitzhak. Even the name sounds exotic.

Did it strike you as strange,

him being there?

What do you mean?

Did he seem at all out of place

in your suburban neighborhood?

[GRUNTS]

Danny?

I think Yitzhak would

have been pretty much

out of place in any neighborhood.

When did he show up again?

What were the circumstances?

[SWALLOWS]

Things had been getting pretty bad

at home between my stepfather and I.

I'd been spending more and more

time out of the house, I guess.

- Oh, sh*t.

- [CAR HORN HONKS, TIRES SCREECH]

I can't believe you crashed your bike.

Oh, relax. I'm immortal.

Yeah, tell that to the splotch

on the pavement.

[CHUCKLES] Mellow, man. Not melodrama.

[CHUCKLES] Hilarious.

[JONNY] Check it out.

Ghost house has got itself

a ghost. What's he doing?

- Gardening?

- [WHISTLES]

- Oh, sh*t. Oh, hey.

- [CHUCKLES]

What's up, losers? What's going on?

- Oh, sh*t. Ghost house got itself a ghost.

- Yeah.

That's what I said.

That's a big-ass ghost. Who is he?

[JONNY] How should we know?

Well, you're not gonna

learn a lot standing here.

- [GROANS, SIGHS]

- Mike. Mike. Mike.

[MIKE] Hey, man. Hey, how's it going?

I'm-I'm Mike. This is Jonny. And,

uh, Danny here's your neighbor.

He lives across the street.

Hi.

Hello. I'm Yitzhak.

Oh. [CHUCKLES, STAMMERS]

You're, uh, not from around here.

What gave me away?

I'm from Israel.

Cool.

Nice to meet you, boys.

[INTERVIEWER] So what did

he say? Do you remember?

If you could be precise as possible,

it'd be really helpful.

He said he was reopening

the boardinghouse,

and he might have said

he had some business in the area.

Business? What kind of business?

Did he say?

- Mm-mmm.

- And Ariana?

I guess she was in the house,

hadn't met her yet.

There were some assaults

in Elm Ridge that year.

[DISTORTED SIRENS WAIL]

Statistically uncommon

for the area. Still unsolved.

[SCOFFS] What do you want me to say,

that she was off attacking people?

So, what happened then?

[DANNY] Um, Jonny had an idea.

[DANNY] It was a ploy

to help me out with Annabelle.

Saw your girlfriend Annabelle

getting pizza at Renaldo's.

Did she ask about me?

[MIKE] She might be more useful

as a girlfriend if she knew you existed.

Details, details.

Nah, I'm serious, dude. You

should ask her out or something.

[DANNY] She's not gonna

wanna go out with me.

- Why not?

- Let's start with "why?"

- Maybe.

- [MIKE] You need more confidence, dude.

I mean, didn't she ask

to get high together?

- Just ask her back.

- [DANNY] You know what, Mike?

- That's actually a really great idea.

- Thank you.

The only problem is that

I don't have any grass.

[MIKE] Details, details.

Well, we should remedy that.

- [DANNY] What do you mean?

- Think about it. Girls like pot.

We like girls. Transitive property

- Pot likes girls?

- [JONNY CHUCKLES]

Hey, I owe you from last week.

There's a guy who deals

out of the old park in Ellenville.

Wait, you want us to buy pot?

No, I I want us to buy a lot of pot.

Uh, okay. How much are we talking about?

We buy an ounce, it's 100 bucks.

We sell it, we get 150.

My bike's fixed, you get new shades,

and Danny gets to keep enough weed

to get laid over and over again.

- It's not a bad plan.

- [MIKE] No, no, it's a great plan.

Only, where the hell are

we gonna get 100 bucks?

Those, uh, new cash machines.

You said your assh*le

stepfather uses them, right?

Mm-hmm.

And you said he, uh, keeps the code

in in his underwear drawer.

m*therf*cker is scary and stupid.

So, all we gotta do is get the code

and his card, and we're good to go.

And then what? We're

gonna steal his money?

- Jonny, no.

- [CHUCKLES] No, man. I mean, we borrow it.

How often does he even use it?

Is he a regular?

Yeah, Saturdays he gets cash out

for offtrack betting,

and then he deposits his checks.

Don't you need that key?

No, man. [CHUCKLES]

Don't underestimate

- Danny! Geez.

- [CAR HONKS]

So we've got a whole week to put his

money back before he even notices.

I don't know, Jonny, it kind

of seems like a terrible idea.

Well, alternatively,

how great would it be

to not be broke all the time?

You could get high with Annabelle

as much as you wanted.

[MIKE] Look, wouldn't it be easier

to just buy a few loose joints?

- Exactly.

- You want her to know you're broke?

You want to be like,

"Hey, Annie, babe, uh

[STAMMERS] let's smoke some weed,

but o-only one joint this week

because that that's

- all my broke-ass can afford".

- Yeah, yeah.

Jonny, I'm not even really sure

she wants to anyway.

Oh, but don't you wanna find out?

I mean, think about it.

- Annabelle naked.

- Jonny.

Man, screw Farrah Faw [STAMMERS]

Nah, screw Annabelle.

Dude, Marlin would literally

k*ll him if he found out.

And [STAMMERS] the answer

to that is literally simple.

We don't get caught.

[CHUCKLING]

- There you go, Danny.

- Ah, come on.

- There you go.

- Hi, can I have a What do you want?

- Vanilla-cherry dip, please?

- [DANNY] It was gonna be so easy.

We waited until he got back

from the bar that night.

He always got passed-out drunk

on a Saturday.

[INHALES DEEPLY] My mom worked

a double shift at the hospital.

So you figured you'd

just get in, get out?

The whole plan was gonna

go off without a hitch.

I was scared to go back to school.

It never struck you as strange

that this man just

showed up to save you?

No. No, it didn't.

always missed her.

I just didn't know it until I saw her.

[SIGHS] I thought I was home.

[INTERVIEWER] Do you think

Ariana is with him now?

I keep telling you,

I don't know where she is.

Danny, are you really willing

to take the blame for this?

If Ariana doesn't show up,

you're very likely to go to prison.

So let me ask you again.

Where is Ariana?

[CRIES, SHOUTS]

Like I told the police, I don't

What happened to Yitzhak?

[GRUNTING]

They're not the only people close

What exactly are you accusing me of?
