That One Summer (2026) Movie Script
(projector whirring)
(logo humming)
(wind blowing)
(gunshots firing)
(machines beeping)
Diane? Diane, hurry!
[Diane] Right away.
I need you to apply pressure
to his lower right abdomen.
We need to prep him for surgery, stat!
Am I going to be okay?
You're going to be just
fine, but we need to work fast.
Is my brother here?
Can you please get a hold of him for me?
Let's worry about that later.
Right now, I just need you
to relax and remain calm.
His name is Paul Cooper.
Can someone please call my brother?
Sir, I will look into
that, but right now,
you may have internal bleeding
and we need to work fast.
Chris, get in here!
What's wrong with this one?
We have another GSW,
multiple gunshot wounds
to the lower abdomen and thigh.
Let's get him hooked up
to IV fluids right away.
Where's Doctor Leslie?
He's with a different patient.
Please don't let me die.
You are not going to die,
not on my watch. I promise.
My brother is the only
family that I have left.
Diane, what are you
doing? Put the mask on him.
Leet us help you now.
(Dr. Leslie sighs)
Patient's sedated. Blood
pressure is 90 over 70.
He's stable at this time.
Very good.
That's one bullet.
(bullet thuds)
Second one.
(bullet thuds)
Third bullet being a few centimeters
from the femoral artery.
Damn it!
(blood splats)
Diane, check his vitals! Where's he at?
Come on!
(heartbeat thumping)
No, no, no, no, no.
Pulse is faint, it's going in and out.
Systolic pressure is below 60.
[Cheryl] He's losing a lot of blood.
[Dr. Leslie] Quickly, give
me more suction and push epi!
Fluids are infusing.
First dose of epi given.
[Diane] We're losing him!
He's going to hypovolemic
shock! I can't find the bleed.
We lost him.
(machine beeping)
No, no, no, no.
I promised him that he would be okay.
No, no, no. I'm not giving up on him.
Diane.
- [Diane] Maybe if we-
- Diane!
As I told you before,
working in this field,
you cannot be attached to your patients.
I know, doctor.
If you know that, then
you wouldn't do that
with every patient you come across.
I have eyes, Diane.
Pull yourself together.
These soldiers are
fighting for our country.
Let's focus on the ones
that are still here.
Stay with me
Hmm
Stay with me
Stay
I need you to wait with me
Hold my hand, I need you now
Love me loud
I need you to stay with me
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Whoa
(upbeat music)
Stay with me, oh
Stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay with me
Won't be wrong
Said I've known you my whole
life, but it ain't been long
I want your tune, I want your song
You're the soundtrack of my heart
And I could play it all night long
I want permission, give me attention
If I come, that's my decision
You need submission, so love me tender
I know exactly what you need
All you gotta do is stay with me
Stay with me, stay
Alex?
Are we going somewhere?
My spidey sense is tingling.
(everyone laughing)
I have to go save the school.
Try again.
My cat just lost one of their lives.
She's now down to eight.
Hah!
According to my calculations,
that means your cat should be down to six.
[All] Ooh!
I was never good with math.
You know that best, Mr. Jones.
Yes. Take a seat.
We still have 19 seconds
before your summertime begins,
and I plan on using all of it.
(sighs)
I wonder if all your
parents feel the same way.
It's just a phone call.
I can make that happen.
(bell rings)
Dismissed.
(upbeat music)
Tonight is the night, I'm
gonna party all night long
So tight, feelin' like I'm
going to let it all hang out
I got my girls with me, I'm
bout to turn it on and on
Because the DJ is bumping loud
And he's playing my favorite song
Hey boy, can you dance with me
(dramatic music)
Okay. Okay.
Hey, Jackie!
Shh.
Why are we whispering?
Just a few more minutes,
and I'm in the clear for
the rest of the year.
Hey, where do you
think you're going, punk?
See you next year,
if you're still alive.
Some friend you are!
Sorry! She'll kill me.
Don't you owe me money?
How can I owe you money if
you already took my money?
Don't get smart, goggles!
Please Veronica, it's
the last day of school.
Don't you have anything better to do
than pick on little old me?
You better get used
to it, you little twerp.
We got all summer together.
Veronica, why don't
you do yourself a favor
and pick on someone else?
Why don't you do yourself
a favor and get lost?
This doesn't concern you.
Just me and this little four-eyes.
Well, I ain't moving.
You're going to have to go
through me to get to her.
You dodged a bullet.
See you later, chump.
Whew, thanks, girl.
I thought my knees were about to give out.
Don't mention it. You
know I got your back, girl.
Do you know where Melissa is?
I don't know if I
should crack a joke on you
or call Jenny Craig.
I mean, look at you.
No need to call, Jackass.
Your mama got her on speed dial.
Oh!
At least I have a mom.
I have a mom too. She
didn't go nowhere, dummy.
Since you want to talk about my mom,
your mom is so dumb and fat,
the only grade she got in
school was an "A" in lunch.
Whoa!
Your mom is so dumb, she
threw a bird off a cliff.
Oh!
Your mom is so dumb, I
said drinks are on the house
and she went to get a ladder.
Oh!
You're so... Um, um.
Listen pretty boy, let's call it quits.
I think the crowd knows what time it is.
No! Let's keep going.
You're so fat that...
Whoa!
(everyone cheering)
(upbeat music)
Yeah! You were good.
So how'd did I do?
You kicked butt.
I should kick your butt, Franny,
for leaving me in there with Veronica.
And did you change?
I went home.
So what are you doing over here with us?
Oh, nothing. So did you
guys hear about Game World?
You guys should sign up. I know I am.
Where's Alex?
At Game World. She got a head start.
I'm not surprised. Why
should we compete anyway?
Yeah, don't they always give
out like silly grand prizes?
Like stuffed animals?
You guys can compete in one of the new.
Super Vector game system.
Plus a new pair of Reebok pumps
and a new Hoffy BMX bike.
Wait, hold up.
No, stop playing.
I'm serious.
When they start doing that?
Something new, I guess.
I'm winning those Reeboks.
You'll be able to play that
new "Slaughter Fight" game
you always talk about at school.
Yeah, you're right. With
the Vector game system.
Alright, we're in.
Let's go. We'll catch up with Alex.
(upbeat hip hop music)
Hey girls. I see you're
getting ready for the tournament.
You guys excited?
You betcha.
[Melissa] Hi, Miss Diane.
Hi, girls. How are your parents?
Any big plans for the summer?
[Melissa] Just winning
in this tournament.
They're fine. And no big plans just yet.
Well, I look forward
to seeing both of you
young ladies at the tournament.
Did you all get your registration fee yet?
- What?
- Come again?
Sounds like you missed a line.
See? Right here in the fine print.
This is wonderful.
Well, I have to go back to my office,
but I look forward to
seeing both of you there.
She creeps me out.
Alex, you forgot to read the fine print.
[Melissa] Damn, I can't believe this.
Right?
Like how are we supposed to get $40
to compete in this tournament?
Well, I'm saying I can't
believe they put pepperoni
on my pizza after I
specifically for them not to.
Oh my gosh, focus.
What's wrong with pepperoni?
It's an all American favorite ingredient.
If you were to read "How to Eat to Live"
by Elijah Muhammad, you'd think twice.
Guys, I've got it.
- [Paulette] Alex!
- What?
[Paulette] Don't what me, young lady.
Bring your little ass in this house
and tell your friends good night
because you're on punishment.
On punishment?
Well, this is wild. Turn that up.
Wait, guys.
(upbeat music)
Guys, turn that down. You'll
get me in more trouble.
Oh, relax. Your momma
ain't coming back outside.
[Paulette] Alex, bring your
ass in here! I'm not playing.
- Yep, I'm out.
- We out.
I know that you're the only one
And I hope you feel the same
'Cause baby, my body come
for your love, for your touch
Oh, I need you to light my fire
Oh, you done messed up now.
Paulette finna cut you up.
(Marcus laughs)
How about you just
jump off a cliff and die?
Relax, buddy. What's your problem?
That's why you got a weave in your head.
Ugly.
Hey, hey, hey.
I don't want you guys talking
to each other like that
before I make you hold hands
and skip down the street.
[Marcus] Come on, dad.
Get it together.
You want to tell me what's
wrong with this picture?
It's a piece of paper
with writing on it.
Alex, I am not in the mood for games.
This is unacceptable.
Now your teacher's telling me
that you have not been going
to class or completing your assignments.
Why not?
I don't know. I've just
had a lot on my plate.
Girl, you are 14 years old.
What could you possibly be going through?
All right, look, your life is easy.
All you need to do is go to
school, get your education,
and brighten your future, that's it.
Now this family, we don't
thrive on stuff like this, okay?
So I need you to stay focused.
Now I'm going to be hard
on you because I love you,
but I need you to pull your weight.
Now, your brother has been telling me
that you have not been doing
your chores around the house.
Why not?
I want to find my mom.
[Paulette] What?
I want to find my mom.
Since when?
I don't know, I just do. It's important.
I don't want to have this
conversation right now,
especially when we're having dinner.
I'm not hungry. Can I be excused?
Yes, but you are still
on punishment, young lady.
Baby, you don't think you
were a little too hard on her?
I mean, at that age, these kids are still
trying to figure themselves out.
Jeff, honey bunny,
your baby girl still needs to
pull her weight around here.
You know what I see?
What do you see, babe?
I see a lot of you in her.
I love that little girl,
but she can just get
under my skin sometimes.
I know. Daddy knows it all.
Mm. All right, daddy.
[Jeff] Still trying to have some.
I got to go to the bathroom.
Where you going, son?
Boy, that's how you was made.
You nasty.
[Jeff] Wait, wait, wait. Come back!
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
Ice cream for 500.
(phone ringing)
Oh, what are they doing?
Babe, why don't you answer?
Hello?
Yes, one second.
Alex, the phone!
Keep in mind that you are grounded,
so I'm going to allow you to speak
to your friends for a few minutes.
Ready? Let's begin.
Hello?
You know what I've come to
realize? Your family hates you.
You do know that, right?
Oh, shut up.
I know how we can win money
for the Game World tournament.
Okay, so what I'm going to do is...
(upbeat music)
I need you to keep
an eye on your sister.
She's not to leave the house
because she's grounded.
Look at me.
All right? All right.
I'll see you later. I love you.
I love you too.
(upbeat music)
She made me smile, she's in my heart
Think about her all the time
She's in my class and she's so cool
She the reason why I love my school
Well, I really want to
get to know her more
But I never know what to say
All of my friends keep on telling me
I should try more each and every day
I tried to write her a
letter when I got home
but I can't stop playing games
All these feelings got me so worked up
I can't concentrate, no
Boys will be boys (Come on, my boys)
Boys will be boys (Sing it louder)
Boys will be boys
Boys will be
It's not what we made of
(upbeat music)
(knuckles rapping)
(upbeat music)
I try so hard to make her laugh
And I've been working overtime
Oh hell no.
Come on, Uncle Bootsie.
What you bugging for?
I'm bugging because every
time you come to my house,
you asking for something.
Don't ask me, ask your daddy.
My dad's broke right now.
Do you think I could get a
quick buck by mowing your lawn?
You, mow my lawn? Girl, please.
And your daddy ain't broke.
Look, I love you because
you my niece, all right?
But I'm running late and I
have a date with La Cienega.
Oh.
La Cienega, what kind of name is that?
I'm out.
No, no, no, no, no.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Please, Uncle Bootsie. It'll be quick.
I'm sure your girlfriend
would like how it looks.
When she comes here
and she sees my grass,
she going to think I hired
a service called Why Bother?
Do you even know how to cut grass?
No, but I'll figure it out.
That's exactly why I hired La Puente,
a professional, to cut it next week.
Uncle Bootsie, please!
Please, I really need the money.
How much is it going to
cost for your services?
That's enough.
I hope you know what you're doing.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm a pro.
Tell Montrell he owes me.
Sure.
Yeah, sure.
(upbeat music)
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Don't go slamming no doors in the house
you don't pay not one bill in.
Jackie, open the door.
- Mom, please.
- [Shanice] Jackie.
Just give me some privacy.
I'll be out in 15 minutes.
Girl. Teenagers.
Boys will be
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Boys will be
(game dinging)
Hey, guys. Sorry I'm late.
Yo, what happened to you? You okay?
Veronica?
Yeah.
And the worst part is
that she stole my money
that I was going to use
towards the tournament,
so now I have no money to give.
Oh man.
I'm sorry, guys.
That's okay, Jackie. Karma
will come back around her.
Since we're in like a
confessional mood right now,
I have to say, I wasn't able to earn
as much money as I thought we would.
What happened?
The ice cream truck.
Why am I not surprised?
Do you ever take anything seriously?
Yeah. Ice cream.
So Alex, what's up with you?
Well, luckily guys,
I was able to rack in
a little bit of money.
Ooh!
- Whoa!
- Wow.
Okay.
[Melissa] You weren't lying.
We have enough. We're
going to Game World.
Damn, your brother
must have the good stuff.
Oh yeah.
Does he?
Oh no.
He's too stupid to-
[Marcus] Alex!
You are so dead.
- Oh god.
We need to leave right now
before my brother kills us all.
(upbeat music)
Catch me, catch me
You're never going to catch me
Catch me, catch me
You're never going to catch me
Catch me, catch me
You're never going to catch me
Alex, get your back here! Alex!
Alex! Bring your ass back here.
I'm moving fast just like
a (Catch me if you can)
Taking off, yeah I got plans
There aint no stopping me
from moving full speed ahead
If you plan to speed up,
won't you let me know
Say I'm moving to fast,

No we'll let them back

Try to catch me if you can
If you can't keep up,

Shout out, got the summer glow
No we'll let them back

Try to catch me if you can
Catch me, catch me
You're never going to catch me
Catch me, catch me

Catch me, catch me

Catch me, catch me
Catch me if you can
Our hearts are racing, beating more
Adrenaline is rushing, and
nothing's going to slow us down
Can you keep up and give up now
I'm feeling good
I can keep going on
for miles and miles
If you can't keep up
won't you let me know
Oh wait, hold on guys. All right.
Jackie.
I really think you should
enter this tournament
and get this win for us.
What? I'm just as capable
of winning as she is.
[Both] We've both seen you play.
Man, whatever. Y'all bugging.
Wait, Jackie. Okay, hold on.
Remember, stay focused.
Keep your eyes on the prize.
Okay.
Say it with me.
[Both] Eyes on the
prize, eyes on the prize,
eyes on the prize.
Hey, Tia and Tamara, can you hurry up?
Jackie needs to play.
Catch me, catch me
You're never going to catch me
Catch me, catch me
You're never going to catch me
Catch me, catch me
You're never going to catch me
Catch me, catch me
You're never going to catch me
Yo, yo, yo, yo. What's good, everybody?
(everyone cheering)
Thank you all for coming out,
and welcome to Game World.
First, I'd like to give a
special thanks to our spectators
for being true fans of
the gaming industry.
(everyone cheering)
Now gamers, I hope everyone
brought their game faces on
because today's the big day.
Who will be victorious?
Now the main objective
today is to have fun,
but try your best.
You only lose if you give up.
Now for my fellow contestants,
please sign your name on the
list in the concession area
and grab a name tag.
Now, without further ado,
let's give a warm welcome
to the one who made all this
possible, Diane Wilkins.
(everyone cheering)
Thank you. Oh, welcome, welcome.
Good luck to everyone and
may the best person win.
(everyone cheering)
Hey Melissa, I forgot my name tag.
Can you get it for me?
All right, bet.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
I'm so sorry, Daniel.
I wish I could have traded
places with you that night.
Yo, yo!
There's something fishy
with that, what's her name?
Diane lady.
Melissa, can't this wait?
The last thing we need is
for Jackie to get distracted.
Alex, I'm telling you,
something isn't right with that lady.
Can I have Selena, Victor, Anthony,
and Jackie on stage, please?
(upbeat music)
I've been searching high,
I've been searching low
Seems like I can't find nowhere to go
After all this time, I
can't do no more tries
I just wait for love to come to me
A special kind of love
You can get it, it don't come easily
You've got to work with it,
just takes a lot of trust
And no fears
It's essential to your life
Your time could be wasted
You can get it, it don't come easily
You've got to work with it,
just takes a lot of trust
(dramatic music)
Hey, who's the kid?
Yeah, he came out of nowhere.
He's got to be good if he went this far.
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music continues)
Oh my God, I can't believe he won.
(bell ringing)
And the winner is Anthony!
(everyone cheers)
Good job, good job.
Oh my God! I so hate him.
It's bad enough we lost a
tournament to some White boy,
and now this.
Shut up, Melissa.
I didn't see you playing
in the tournament.
That's because Alex
volunteered you instead of me.
I'm hungry. I could go for some pizza.
Do you know what? Actually, me too.
Let's hit the neighborhood
When I come outside,
make me feel so good
Feel so good
- Ah!
- Jesus Christ.
Girl, what is that on your face?
Geez, you could have
scared us half to death.
Thanks for destroying our bikes.
Why do you have Pebbles with you?
First off, let's just say we're even
because part of me wants to hurt you,
but I'll let y'all slide for now.
Either way, mom told me to walk the dog,
so here I am staring at you three idiots.
That pizza smell good.
Is that mushroom and olive I smell?
Gee, nothing gets past you.
Of course not. It's my favorite pizza.
All right, little sis. Let me get a slice.
Oh, hell no. This is
our pizza, get your own.
Alex, stop being a little punk.
Let me get a slice of pizza.
Are you hard of hearing? I said no.
Leave us alone.
Okay. All right.
I'll tell you what.
Since you three stooges
don't want to give me a slice of pizza,
then Pebbles here just might
not be coming home with me.
Why do you have to be so cruel?
Man, forget him. Marcus,
you can kiss our ass.
I can kiss...
Okay, see you, Pebbles.
Wait, Pebbles.
Give me that. Thank you.
Way to ruin our night, idiot.
Hey, I'll be an idiot
enjoying your pizza.
Okay.
They is never going to catch Pebbles.
Mm, mm, mm.
(Pebbles barking)
(dramatic music)
Pebbles!
Pebbles.
- Pebbles.
(dramatic music)
What?
Guys, this is Diane's house.
Let's leave before she catches us.
Oh my God. What the hell is that smell?
Yeah, it smells like my brother's room
when he comes home from
basketball practice.
What if there's a dead body here?
I doubt it.
Who in their right mind
would bury something in the backyard?
True, but it's weird to
see the backyard so uneven.
And so much dirt in one location.
I told you something
was wrong with Diane
during the Game World tournament.
Wait, is that?
That can't be what I think it is.
Oh my God.
Wait, it is.
Is that a baby's hand?
Oh, I think it is.
Oh, crap. We got to go.
Come on, Pebbles. Come on.
I'm going to be in so much trouble
when my dad finds out
I broke his lawnmower.
Trouble?
Get in trouble? Did you see that hand?
Yeah, I saw it.
I'm never watching
scary movies ever again.
I think we should
definitely check this out.
No, mission abort.
We are not doing that.
To live in fear is to not live at all.
Yeah. Okay, "License to Drive."
You're enjoying this.
You know what, Melissa?
I think Alex likes getting us in trouble.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, come on.
I'm going home for dinner.
I think today has been one
heck of a day for us all.
Oh my gosh, you're so right.
Oh my gosh, I can practically
hear dinner calling my name.
See y'all.
Guys.
Guys, think about it.
I'll think about it while
y'all both are on punishment.
(dramatic music)
[Eric] Please don't let me die.
[Diane] You're not going to die.
Not on my watch, I promise.
[Eric] My brother's the
only family I have left.
His name is Paul Cooper.
Excuse me. I'm looking
for my brother, Eric.
He got caught in a
crossfire. How's he doing?
Are you Paul?
Did he make it?
I'm sorry. We did
everything that we could.
I'm so sorry.
It's fine. I'm sure you
did the best you could.
I just feel like I failed
him as a brother, you know?
Growing up, we weren't that close,
but when our parents died,
I told my mom I would look after him.
Now he's gone.
I'm sorry about your brother.
I lost the love of my life,
so I know about losses.
I'm sorry to hear
that. How'd you overcome?
I never really did.
You just learn how to move through grief.
You have family?
I was never really close with my family.
After I lost him, I just
couldn't really handle all of it.
It seems like we have
a lot we can relate to.
You know, I got to get out of here.
Are you stationed out here?
Yeah, I am now.
Dealing with these things
alone can be really hard,
so if you ever need anybody,
you can always call me.
Yeah, I think I'll do that.
You don't have anything to worry about
So hush and I promise
You'll never have to
worry about anything again
(dramatic music)
Mm, oh yeah
(upbeat music)
Oh, baby
Hush, hush
Listen to what I have to say
Oh
Lately, you've been
searching for my love for you
I'm telling you I know that's there
'Cause you doubt my love,
I feel it in my heart
(upbeat music)
(dog barking)
Is that the kid from the
Yeah, he ruined my game
and now he's going to
ruin my neighborhood too.
Well, I don't think so.
Hi. I just moved in.
As if we didn't notice.
Now listen, welcome to the
neighborhood or whatever,
but you're going to have
to stay out of our way.
Man, it sure is hot today.
Hey, well, me and Alex
are going to head over
to Desertville with our water soakers.
You want to come?
I can't. My dad wants me
to come in early tonight.
That's cool. See you later?
See you.
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music continues)
Oh, you good?
You good?
You again? You obsessed?
Just trying to help.
I saw you trip.
I'll be fine.
You don't look fine.
You're welcome.
Just let me get onto the bike.
I think I can do it from here.
You sure you don't want
me to just call your mom?
I'm sure she can pick us up.
No!
She does not need to know we
were here or this happened.
Okay, fine. Fine.
I'll be fine.
I can help you home.
- Yes.
- No. Excuse us.
He's looking like the
only way we can get home
for a pain free ride.
I can't ride with him.
Why not? Because of the game?
The game? Because of everything.
Okay, then walk.
I will.
Ow! Jeez, okay, fine.
Get him over here, but you better tell him
not to try any funny business.
Okay.
I'm going to go get your
dad so he can get your bike.
Why do you think I'm such a bad guy?
No one said that.
You act like it.
I think you might've
said it at this point.
I didn't want to be here.
I'd rather still be in Adelanto.
Adelanto? Don't know why.
It's boring down there.
You're funny.
Why'd you guys leave?
Because my dad found
this job with a company.
He's a software engineer working
on a hand held communicator
called the IBM SIMON.
It's going to be really
big soon, they say.
Yeah, sure it is.
Well, that's the reason
my mom says we moved.
The real reason is because
my dad got his secretary pregnant.
That's a lot.
Yeah, they think I don't know.
After my mom found out,
she insisted that we move.
Holy crap.
Yeah.
My dad sends money, but
my mom didn't want the mom
or baby part of our lives.
Well, that's sad.
Yeah.
He tells me about being selfish
and only thinking about myself,
but to encourage your dad
to have no relationship
with his own kids seems like
the ultimate selfish move.
It is.
Yeah, she didn't even think about me.
It's a brother or sister I'll never know.
What if the mom doesn't want it either?
Well then, it'll go into foster care.
I'd never want to be
a baby no one wanted
and have to go to foster care.
What are you doing?
I can walk from here. Thanks.
Did I say something?
Nope, your usual self.
And I would rather be
in life altering pain
than deal with you.
Wait, are you a foster
child? Were you adopted?
Bingo, brainiac.
You are not going to die.
Not on my watch, I promise.
(baby crying)
(knife thudding)
[Cheryl] Maybe you should have a seat.
I'm okay.
I can't let you go
into surgery like this.
Like what?
Let's just sit down.
Diane, please let me help you.
The only person that needs help
is the man dying on the operation table.
The doctor told me
you haven't been going
to your therapy appointments.
I might have missed one or two.
She keeps asking the wrong questions.
Like what?
Like about my baby and
the death of my husband.
I think they're just trying to help you.
I don't need therapy.
Okay.
Well, I need to go find someone
who can help me with this patient.
I can help.
No, you can't. I'm
too concerned about you.
Don't be.
Hey, Alex.
I wanted you to have this.
Have what?
The "Slaughter Fight" game.
You won that.
I know, but you and
the girls deserve it.
Especially Jackie.
The third models before
this had zero dark features.
I hope she likes it.
You don't have to feel bad for me.
I don't think that.
Well, thanks, but your pity gifts
are going to have to be better than that.
So you guys ready to figure
out what that smell is?
What smell?
From Diane's backyard.
She had this weird
No, shut up. She had nothing.
What did she have?
You know, Melissa likes
to go on about crazy things.
No, I don't.
What did she have in her yard?
We don't know.
Let's go find out.
Look at you. A dare devil, I see.
Nah, we're good.
No, we're going. Come on, Melissa.
Where are you going?
(dramatic music)
I don't smell anything.
Of course you don't.
You're like 50 feet away.
Well, plan's foiled. We can leave now.
[Anthony] What do you
think caused the smell?
Well, you're not going to believe it,
but we saw a baby's hand.
This lady is hiding something,
and we're going to figure out what.
You realize that's
manure she's spreading?
What do you think she's
doing? The holes are so big.
Maybe planting trees?
More like planting bodies.
[Anthony] Why?
Well, if we knew that we
wouldn't be here, now, would we?
Oh, I bet that's where
she's planting her next body.
And that's where we're
going to dig up first.
Let's regroup tomorrow.
You listen to me.
You tell Shaun that is unacceptable, okay?
This is a huge month for this company
and if we do this the right way,
it could be very lucrative for us, okay?
So I need you to close
this deal. Make it happen.
Hi, guys.
Young lady, do you know what time it is?
What are you talking
about? It's still early.
I need you here at a sensible hour.
But the street lights
haven't even hit yet.
I don't give a damn.
What's gotten into you?
You know what? Just get out of my sight.
Can you believe this little girl?
Baby, it's not even that late.
Psst.
This is why Paulette should
have never adopted you
in the first place.
[Paulette] Excuse me, what
did you just say to her?
I didn't say nothing, Paulette.
[Paulette] Boy, if you call
me by my name one more time.
I didn't.
(dramatic music)
Hello?
[Alex] Anthony? What do you want?
How'd you get my number?
The phone book. Listen,
I wanted to apologize.
What, worried about
the little orphan kid
that nobody wants?
Worried about the girl next door
who I would like to be a friend.
Is there anything I can do to help you?
[Alex] Find my real parents.
Well, I can use my mom's phone book.
My dad never likes using
it, but my mom always does.
She says everything's in there.
Maybe we could call around.
Yeah, I guess that's a start.
How about you come over to my house.
Come where? To your room?
Hold your horses. It's
not that type of party.
[Michelle] Honey, are you ready?
Oh crap. I totally forgot.
My mom and I do this
thing before we go to bed.
[Alex] What is it?
It's a little embarrassing.
It's not really important.
[All] Sure. Yeah, see ya.
Not if I see you first.
You know, you really outdid
yourself with these eggs, dad.
Thank you. Think about
keeping up the pace, you know?
Running some errands, mowing the lawn.
Mowing the lawn?
Yeah, that lawn won't mow itself.
Hey, how about I teach you?
That won't be necessary.
Yes, you could have a little bit
more responsibility around here.
I mean, I do a lot around here.
No, no, that's okay.
It'll be good for you.
I will teach you how to
use it later on today.
And maybe if you get good at it,
you can mow the neighbor's lawn
and make some extra money for the summer.
Yeah, right.
Okay, I can fix this. I can fix this.
Fix what? Is that my lawnmower?
No, dad. Of course not.
Mel, what did I tell you about lying?
No, I'm not. I can explain, I just...
Listen, baby. You don't
ever have to lie to me.
If something is bothering
you, you can tell me.
Well, there is something.
Okay.
It's kind of embarrassing.
Melissa, you are my
daughter and I love you.
There's nothing you can say
or do that is embarrassing.
It's about my weight.
There is nothing wrong with you.
Do you know how funny, how
smart, and how beautiful you are?
You have so much to be thankful for.
You're just saying that
because you're my dad.
No, I'm saying that because
you are perfectly imperfect.
You don't have to change for nobody.
Okay, okay, dad. Enough
of this mushy stuff.
By the way, you're on punishment.
Oh, dad, can we reschedule
this P-word for next week?
Thank you, dad. I love you.
(dramatic music)
Very good. We'll see.
Oh my gosh, mom. You almost
gave me a heart attack.
Let's talk.
Boy, is it that obvious?
It's my job to know.
You know, when I was
your age, I was bullied.
Really?
Absolutely.
So you understand my problem.
Until one day,
I stirred up enough
courage to face my fear.
How do you do it?
Your grandmother.
Grandma Helen?
One day, she saw me with a black eye.
She looked at me, then grabbed a belt
and told me to go back outside
to find whoever did it,
or else I'm going to give
you one in the other eye.
Yeah, G-mama don't play that.
Don't let this kid or whoever this is
treat you like a punching bag.
I want you to face your fears
and breathe through the panic.
Okay mom, I'll try that.
Good. Come on.
Let's go to bed.
Okay.
Hey mom, do you like Bruce Lee movies?
Jackie, girl, go to bed.
(upbeat music)
(knuckles rapping)
Mom, someone's at the door.
Richard, would you mind getting that?
Honey, can't you see that
I'm in the middle of something?
For Christ's sake, it's just a game.
We are talking about the finals here.
We're not expecting guests anyway.
Fine. I'll do it myself.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm Diane. Welcome to the neighborhood.
I hope I didn't catch you at a bad time.
No, you're fine.
Is that for me?
It sure is, yeah.
Just a little, you
know, welcoming present.
Oh my, that is lovely. Thank you.
[Richard] Who is it?
It's Diane from across the street.
She brought us a cake to enjoy.
[Richard] That's nice, sweetheart.
Do you mind closing the
door? You're killing the A/C.
Would you like to come in?
Oh no, I'm just fine.
I have errands to run.
I just wanted to welcome
you all to the neighborhood.
Thank you.
Oh, hi young man.
Oh, hi.
Oh, you know my son.
He comes down to my arcade.
You won a tournament a few days ago.
Is that so? Yeah, he
loves those video games.
Yeah. So you own one
of them arcade things?
I sure do.
Hmm.
[Richard] Michelle, honey,
can you please close the door?
I can barely hear the game.
Anyway, why don't you
come back in an hour?
We could eat it together.
Are you sure?
Yeah, yeah. Oh, don't worry about him.
He's just crazy about the game.
But all he talks about is
this Michael Gordon character
or whatever his name is.
Oh yes, I think I've heard of him.
Yeah. So I'll see you in an hour?
Sure, yeah. Yeah.
Let me just go home and
freshen up and I'll be over.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
Yeah, I'll see you in a bit.
See you in a bit.
And thank you.
[Diane] You're welcome.
Richard. Next time, you open the door.
Dinner's going to be ready in an hour
and we'll be having company over here.
(commentator speaking indistinctly)
(knuckles rapping)
[Anthony] It's me.
Yep, it's Boo boo the Bear.
What do you want?
Let me in. It's super important.
[Jackie] Why can't you just tell us now?
Because someone might
hear me. Let me in.
[Melissa] Don't let him in.
What's it about?
It's about Diane.
I don't think he's
lying. I'm letting him in.
[Melissa] Oh my gosh.
Whatever, just make it quick.
I'm this close to winning
all y'all's Blow Pops.
So what's the 411?
You guys are not going to believe this,
but Diane is coming over to
my house tonight for dinner.
What does that have to do with us?
Well, if Diane is over
at his house tonight,
that means we can go over to her house
and figure out what's
going on in her backyard.
Oh no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I am not going back over there again.
Come on, let's just
continue playing the game.
What time is she coming over?
My mom told her to come in an hour.
Melissa, what time is it?
It's skin-thirty.
Oh my gosh.
Why do I care what time it is?
As long as the street lights are on.
It's 5:50 PM on the dot.
Is that the new Dick Tracy watch?
Yeah. You like it?
Guys, focus.
We've got a little bit
of time before she comes.
So how about you go back home
and give us some type of
signal when she arrives
and we'll make our way
over to her backyard?
What do you want me
to do for the signal?
Maybe he can shine a
flashlight towards us.
That can work.
Just keep a flashlight by
you and run to a window
and wave it three times to let
us know the coast is clear.
You do know how to like
work a flashlight, right?
[Anthony] Duh.
Jackie, do you still
have those walkie-talkies?
Yeah, but I don't
think the batteries work.
Anyone got any fresh batteries?
Let's take some out of a TV remote.
This won't fit, Donnie Whalberg.
It's no biggie.
I can just go to the store
and get some new ones.
Cool, so me and Melissa
will gather up the rest
of the gear we're going to
need for tonight's mission.
We all meet back up here in
20 minutes wearing all black.
Here you go, Mr. Larry.
[Larry] Find everything all right?
Uh-huh.
[Larry] You know what, I'm
going to put this on your tab.
[Jackie] Thank you.
How's your mama?
She good.
Okay. Tell her Mr. Larry say what's up.
Okay, Mr. Larry.
Have a good one.
[Jackie] You too.
Hey, man. Come on, man.
You've been in here for
15 minutes, man. Hurry up.
(dramatic music)
Looks like it tastes good.
(girls laughing)
Got any more in that bag?
Oh, she's going to cry.
What are these?
They're batteries.
I know what they are.
Now go back in there and
get me some Ring Pops.
You heard her.
(girls laughing)
What's the hold up? Go get my Ring Pops.
No.
What?
I said no.
Little girl, I'll destroy you.
You're dead.
(head thuds)
Hey, hey, hey. Put that down.
And you three get up on out of here
before you really get
hurt messing with her.
Scram!
You okay?
Yeah, I'm all right. Am I in trouble?
In trouble? Nah, I'm
minding business that pays me.
You know I see that
little girl around here
messing with kids all the time.
You probably the first
one that stood up to her.
Hold up. When you learn
to fight like that?
Movies.
That's cute. But you
got to do me one favor.
Leave these weapons alone.
You see these hands?
This is all you need, okay?
It needs to be your last defense.
It was, Mr. Larry.
You know you got some talent.
I could probably use
somebody like you on my team.
Your team?
Yeah, I run a dojo a
few blocks from here.
I teach kids just like you to compete.
You want to join?
You know, that'd be cool.
I have to ask my mom though.
Alright, well look.
You come back and see me when you ready.
Alright. Thanks, Mr. Larry.
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You forgot something.
Have a good one.
(dramatic music)
Survive or surrender
Life got no middle
Praying for a sign that
my faith too brittle
Shadows on the concrete
I'm here. Let's go.
Are you serious? Selena?
My favorite shirt ever.
Anything for Selena.
I said all black. That
shirt looks whickety whack.
Oh, come on, you bugging. This is fly.
Whatever, but if we get caught,
it's going to be all your fault.
Ugh, where's Jackie?
Here I am. I had to drop
off batteries with Anthony.
Oh my God. You too?
[Jackie] What?
I swear y'all don't listen
to me. I said all black.
My mom don't buy black kicks.
You're being dramatic.
This mission is a failure
before we even get started.
Wait, what happened to your lip?
Oh yeah, I ran into Veronica.
What? Don't tell me
that gremlin jumped you.
What happened?
Well, I Mr. Miyagi'd her ass.
Wait, for real?
I was like, ugh.
(grunting)
Okay, I wish I was there
to see that in real life.
Hello.
Way to stand up for yourself.
Thanks.
Hey, guys. That's Anthony's signal.
What?
That's Anthony's
signal. Let's make moves.
Okay, okay.
Go.
[Michelle] Boy, what are you doing?
Mom, I was just chasing down some cats.
I saw them messing with the trash can.
Oh, did you get them?
Yeah, I got them.
Okay, well, let's not be
rude and tend to our guests.
Okay.
What in the world is going on here?
We haven't even found anything.
And why are we using these
tiny shovels to dig anyways?
Just keep digging. I'm
sure something will pop up.
Melissa's right. We would've
found something by now.
Let's just go.
No. I know she's hiding something.
Y'all saw it here before.
Well, maybe she moved it.
Maybe you're right.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hell no.
This is where I draw the line.
We are not going in the house.
It's only for a second.
Oh my gosh. Okay, when did
you become the daredevil?
Oh, way to go, Jack.
Oh my gosh. We're
going to get in trouble.
This is stupid. Have you
guys not watched "Cops"?
We're going to go to jail.
We're not going to go jail. We're kids.
They have jail for kids too.
Well, Jackie's in.
So that means the only
chicken in the crew is you.
(Alex imitating chicken)
I ain't no chicken.
Shut up.
I know you ain't trying to
crack no jokes right now.
Oh, come on.
All of this energy can be used
towards getting in and out of the house.
So are you in with us or
are you going to be a chicken?
I told you I'm not a chicken.
Now come on, let's go
before she comes back.
Come on, guys, let's go.
This is so stupid.
Honey, what's wrong?
You haven't even touched your
food and it's your favorite.
I'm just not that hungry.
You better eat that good food, boy.
You know what?
If you finish your food,
you can have a nice
slice of the pound cake
that Diane's brought for us.
But you will not have one slice
until you finished your
food, especially those peas.
I won't eat that cake anyways.
Anthony, what did we talk
about in regards to being rude?
It's okay. Pound
cake's not for everybody.
Apologize, boy.
It's okay. That's not necessary.
I'm so sorry, Diana. Don't
know what's gotten into him.
Don't apologize for him.
He needs to take responsibility
for his own actions.
Apologize, Anthony.
Richard!
No, you will not be
out here telling my boy
not to take accountability
for his own actions.
Accountability?
Now is not the time.
May I be excused?
[Richard] No, you may not. Eat.
Oh my goodness.
Anthony, what did I just say?
Richard, can you please just let him go?
He just...
Maybe it's a good time for me to go.
No, no, you're fine.
These boys are just showing out right now.
(chair thuds)
I'm sorry. Why don't we just
try your delicious cake?
Hey, Jackie. Is
everything good over there?
Yeah, everything's cool.
Didn't find anything though.
So when are y'all coming back?
Well, Alex wanted to
go inside the house.
What? Are you crazy?
See, even dufus face
over here agrees with me.
I heard that, Ursula.
Hey, listen here, you... Wait.
Hello?
Wait, aren't those brand new batteries?
Guess you got the cheap kind.
Hello?
I was about to let him have it.
Put that thing away. Let's
see what's in this house.
(door creaks)
Would you look at that? It's open.
It's almost like she wanted us to come in.
Sure. Let's just get
in this crib and get out.
You guys smell that?
It smells like what we smelled before.
It's got to be a dead body, I swear.
Well, whatever it is,
it's going to lead us straight
to what we're looking for.
Start searching.
Oh my. This cake is delicious.
Thank you. It was my mother's recipe.
She actually won
competitions with this cake.
Wow. Oh, that sounds amazing.
Yeah.
So where are y'all from?
I'm native here.
I see. Do you want another slice?
Sure. Yeah.
Yeah? Coming right up.
Richard, do you want another slice?
[Richard] Sure.
So how long have you two been married?
Richard and I have
been married for... Ugh!
Oh my goodness. Are you okay?
It's bleeding pretty bad.
Would you mind grabbing
some bandages and alcohol
from the drawer next to the fridge?
Sweetheart, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine. Where's
the first aid kit?
Can you grab me a paper towel?
Yeah, I thought I packed
it but I can't find it.
Oh, don't worry. I have one at home.
I'll be back in a few minutes, okay?
Okay. Thank you.
It's really deep.
Sorry. Let me get another one.
We searched all downstairs.
Maybe we should check upstairs now.
No. What?
If there's nothing downstairs,
there's not going to be anything upstairs.
Chicken.
You have one more time to call me that.
Okay, guys. Hush, let's go.
Alex, what are you doing?
Alex, we don't have time
to be looking at photos.
Yeah, Diane could come
back any minute now.
You guys go upstairs and
see if you can find anything.
I'll catch up.
What? You want to split up?
This is not "Scooby Doo"
and you are not Velma.
We can't do that.
Just go.
It's okay, we got this. Let's go.
That's how White people
die in scary movies.
(dramatic music)
Why are you crying?
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
Alex, what's wrong?
She's my mom.
Oh my God.
We've got to get you out of here.
Guys, you're not going to believe this.
I just found a dead baby in Diane's room.
Did you guys hear me?
Why is she crying?
I'll tell you later. We
got to get out of here.
Get out of here? There's
a whole dead baby upstairs.
Forget that baby. We've
got to get Alex help.
Oh my gosh. This is too much.
Just tell me why she's crying.
Diane is her mom.
What?
See, I told y'all this was a
bad idea. We need to get out.
I'm not going.
[Melissa] What?
Girl, you're crazy. Come on.
You guys can leave if you want,
but I'm staying here until she gets back.
I know you're hurt and confused,
but that is a terrible idea.
Let's just get your parents
so they can figure this out.
My parents?
Diane was down the street this whole time
and they never even said anything.
They're the last people I want to see.
So I'm staying.
It's not a smart idea to have somebody
who has a dead baby in the room
to stay alone with you and talk.
She probably killed that baby,
which means she'll probably kill you.
I guess that's a chance
I'm going to have to take.
(keys jingling)
Now's your chance to leave.
I'm not leaving you.
Oh, I hate you guys. I'm staying too.
(footsteps approaching)
Girls?
What the hell are you doing in my house?
Why do you have a
dead baby in your room?
What are you talking about?
Yeah, you heard her.
Why is there a dead baby in your bedroom?
I have no idea what
you're talking about.
You all need to leave now.
We're not going anywhere, Mom.
What did you just say?
That's right. I'm your daughter, Diane.
If you're not going to
explain the dead body,
then explain this.
Excuse me. What are you doing?
You have no right to touch those.
Why do you have these? Never
apart, together forever.
This can't be. Where did you get that?
I've had it forever.
Why did you leave me?
I've been dreaming about you for years.
Why would you do that when I
have done nothing wrong to you?
[Jackie] She doesn't
deserve you. That's why.
[Melissa] Are you really
not going to say anything?
She wouldn't understand.
Of course you wouldn't respond.
You have a dead baby in your room.
You shut your mouth.
I did what I had to do.
I did what was best for this little girl.
I have seen so many men die from illness
or at the hands of greedy politicians
who sent other men to fight their battles.
I lost the one man who ever truly loved me
and this greatest gift to me.
But you still had me.
Was I not enough for you?
Was I not enough to make you
forget all your past pains?
[Jackie] It still doesn't
explain the dead baby.
It was an accident.
Nothing more, nothing less.
That's it. I'm calling the police.
Don't you dare.
[Melissa] Oh God, Let her go!
Please let her go.
- Let me go!
[Jackie] Let her go.
You want me to leave now?
Alex, tell them that your mom
said it's time to go home now.
Guys, just go.
Alex, we can't just leave you.
You heard her. Get out of here.
Go leave. Just get out of here.
I'll be okay.
(Alex shouts)
Next time, there'll
be a lot more blood. Go.
(hands thudding)
Oh hey, what is with all this ruckus?
Where's Anthony?
He's in the house. Why?
Where's Alex?
She's got her. She's going to kill her.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Who has got who? What's going on?
Dad, they're talking about Diane.
She's going to kill Alex.
Mister, you've got to believe
us. She's going to get hurt.
Honey, call the police.
What are you going to do to me?
We're going to go on a trip.
Get that mommy daughter
time that we missed.
[Officer] What'd you say her name was?
Diane Wilkins.
[Officer] Diane Wilkins,
who runs the arcade?
You know her?
[Officer] Oh yes. She's got a history.
Well, that's just great.
And you let her open
an arcade for children?
(dramatic music)
You got to stop crying.
I'm not going to hurt you anymore, okay?
Everything was just all a mistake.
Was I a mistake?
No, no. All the mistakes
that were made were made by me.
So that explains my little brother.
I told you that was a mistake.
What happened, Diane?
(dramatic music)
Dirty, dirty, dirty baby.
Dirty baby, take a bath.
I forgot something.
Mommy will be right back.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(Diane panting)
Oh no! No, no, no, no.
(Diane crying)
He just laid there in the water
like some of the soldiers
I had to put to rest.
I could never forgive myself.
Now I see why you left.
Was that man in the photo with you my dad?
No.
Your dad died of cancer
before you were even born.
The man in that photo was the
father of your little brother.
I was just too young and too
screwed up to take care of you.
You're so beautiful.
I don't want to hear anymore.
You have no idea what I had to go through
because you couldn't get it right.
I don't want to go with you
anymore. Let me out the car.
What was I supposed to do?
I don't know. Let me out of the car.
I can't leave you out here.
Yes, you can. I know my way around here.
I'll be fine. Just let me out.
Alex, please.
Shut up. I don't want to hear anymore.
Please don't.
(siren blares)
(dramatic music)
Diane, we know you're
there with the child.
Please exit the vehicle, hands up,
and leave the child in the car.
You should listen to that.
Mrs. Wilkins, please
step out of the vehicle
with your hands up now.
(car door thuds)
I just want to remind you
that everything I did for you
was because I love you.
And if I could do it all over
again, you would be mine.
I love you.
You can have me, but don't hurt her, okay?
She did nothing wrong.
She'll be fine. Just
get on the ground now.
(dramatic music)
(birds chirping)
(gentle music)
[Anthony] How'd you do?
All right. Einstein.
(Alex giggles)
How are you holding up?
I mean, it's not easy, but
my mom put me in therapy,
and once or twice a month,
I get to visit Diane.
It's hard seeing her like that.
But we're slowly rebuilding
our relationship.
That's good. Like my dad
always says, one day at a time.
[Alex] That summer was
truly one to remember
as we all learned valuable lessons
that changed the course
of our lives forever.
I now realize the closure
that I received is not
granted to everyone.
And even though it
brought pain to my heart,
I'd do it again.
Your mama is so dumb,
she thought "The Exorcist"
was a workout video.
[All] Oh!
And your mama is so old,
she was a waitress at the Last Supper.
[All] Oh!
(gentle music)
What you want?
You're pretty funny.
Obviously.
I was just wondering.
Wondering what?
I was wondering if you'd
be down to ride bikes
and get ice cream sometime.
Ice cream? No, I'm vegetarian.
Oh, okay. Well.
Man, I'm kidding. I'd be down.
What about your moron friends?
Oh, those guys? I dropped them.
I don't need to be around anyone
who don't know a cute
girl when they see one.
(gentle music)
[Alex] So here's to
the mysteries of life.
The obstacles that lay before us
and a lifetime of self-discovery.
(dramatic music)
(upbeat music)
That one summer night
Oh
That one summer night, hey
That one summer night
I survived
That one summer night
I survived
I survived
I survived that one summer night
One summer night
When I think about the
things I've been through
Have to look to the sky and thank you
You brought me far
When it was hard, you were there
Never let me down (Never failed)
Never faded, held me close
That one summer night
I survived that one summer night
I survived that one summer night
I survived
I survived that one summer night
I survived (One summer night)
Yo, La Cienega, baby.
Hurry up and get back to this movie, man.
Give me some hip to hip, snuggle me down.
[La Cienega] You know
what's slowing you down?
That yard work.
Why you keep treating
about the yard work?
I'm going to get it fixed, baby.
I'm going to work it out.
Actually, it's a design.
It's a little mohawk shag design.
It's not halfway done like you think.
It's a shag mohawk lawn.
[La Cienega] I think
you're trying to be funny
because you said you ain't like
what you see there last night,
and I don't really like that.
My niece was supposed to
mow the lawn, all right?
I gave her some money,
she only did a halfway job, and she left.
It's not my fault.
[La Cienega] It's not your fault
that you gave responsibility
to a little girl
for a big man job?
Okay, baby. I'm just
trying to get to the yams.
I survived, yeah
That one summer night
One summer
That one summer night
Yeah, that one summer night
One summer night
One summer night
I survived that one summer night
I survived
One summer night
I survived that one summer night
I survived
That one summer night
Yeah, one summer night
That one summer night
Yeah
Made one time
That one summer night
Yeah

I'm still in love
That one summer night

Diane? Diane, hurry!
[Diane] Right away.
I need you to apply pressure
to his lower right abdomen.
We need to prep him for surgery, stat!
Am I going to be okay?
You're going to be just
fine, but we need to work fast.
Is my brother here?
Can you please get a hold of him for me?
Let's worry about that later.
Right now, I just need you
to relax and remain calm.
His name is Paul Cooper.
Can someone please call my brother?
Sir, I will look into
that, but right now,
you may have internal bleeding
and we need to work fast.
Chris, get in here!
What's wrong with this one?
We have another GSW,
multiple gunshot wounds
to the lower abdomen and thigh.
Let's get him hooked up
to IV fluids right away.
Where's Doctor Leslie?
He's with a different patient.
Please don't let me die.
You are not going to die,
not on my watch. I promise.
My brother is the only
family that I have left.
Diane, what are you
doing? Put the mask on him.
Leet us help you now.
(Dr. Leslie sighs)
Patient's sedated. Blood
pressure is 90 over 70.
He's stable at this time.
Very good.
That's one bullet.
(bullet thuds)
Second one.
(bullet thuds)
Third bullet being a few centimeters
from the femoral artery.
Damn it!
(blood splats)
Diane, check his vitals! Where's he at?
Come on!
(heartbeat thumping)
No, no, no, no, no.
Pulse is faint, it's going in and out.
Systolic pressure is below 60.
[Cheryl] He's losing a lot of blood.
[Dr. Leslie] Quickly, give
me more suction and push epi!
Fluids are infusing.
First dose of epi given.
[Diane] We're losing him!
He's going to hypovolemic
shock! I can't find the bleed.
We lost him.
(machine beeping)
No, no, no, no.
I promised him that he would be okay.
No, no, no. I'm not giving up on him.
Diane.
- [Diane] Maybe if we-
- Diane!
As I told you before,
working in this field,
you cannot be attached to your patients.
I know, doctor.
If you know that, then
you wouldn't do that
with every patient you come across.
I have eyes, Diane.
Pull yourself together.
These soldiers are
fighting for our country.
Let's focus on the ones
that are still here.
Stay with me
Hmm
Stay with me
Stay
I need you to wait with me
Hold my hand, I need you now
Love me loud
I need you to stay with me
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Whoa
(upbeat music)
Stay with me, oh
Stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay with me
Won't be wrong
Said I've known you my whole
life, but it ain't been long
I want your tune, I want your song
You're the soundtrack of my heart
And I could play it all night long
I want permission, give me attention
If I come, that's my decision
You need submission, so love me tender
I know exactly what you need
All you gotta do is stay with me
Stay with me, stay
Alex?
Are we going somewhere?
My spidey sense is tingling.
(everyone laughing)
I have to go save the school.
Try again.
My cat just lost one of their lives.
She's now down to eight.
Hah!
According to my calculations,
that means your cat should be down to six.
[All] Ooh!
I was never good with math.
You know that best, Mr. Jones.
Yes. Take a seat.
We still have 19 seconds
before your summertime begins,
and I plan on using all of it.
(sighs)
I wonder if all your
parents feel the same way.
It's just a phone call.
I can make that happen.
(bell rings)
Dismissed.
(upbeat music)
Tonight is the night, I'm
gonna party all night long
So tight, feelin' like I'm
going to let it all hang out
I got my girls with me, I'm
bout to turn it on and on
Because the DJ is bumping loud
And he's playing my favorite song
Hey boy, can you dance with me
(dramatic music)
Okay. Okay.
Hey, Jackie!
Shh.
Why are we whispering?
Just a few more minutes,
and I'm in the clear for
the rest of the year.
Hey, where do you
think you're going, punk?
See you next year,
if you're still alive.
Some friend you are!
Sorry! She'll kill me.
Don't you owe me money?
How can I owe you money if
you already took my money?
Don't get smart, goggles!
Please Veronica, it's
the last day of school.
Don't you have anything better to do
than pick on little old me?
You better get used
to it, you little twerp.
We got all summer together.
Veronica, why don't
you do yourself a favor
and pick on someone else?
Why don't you do yourself
a favor and get lost?
This doesn't concern you.
Just me and this little four-eyes.
Well, I ain't moving.
You're going to have to go
through me to get to her.
You dodged a bullet.
See you later, chump.
Whew, thanks, girl.
I thought my knees were about to give out.
Don't mention it. You
know I got your back, girl.
Do you know where Melissa is?
I don't know if I
should crack a joke on you
or call Jenny Craig.
I mean, look at you.
No need to call, Jackass.
Your mama got her on speed dial.
Oh!
At least I have a mom.
I have a mom too. She
didn't go nowhere, dummy.
Since you want to talk about my mom,
your mom is so dumb and fat,
the only grade she got in
school was an "A" in lunch.
Whoa!
Your mom is so dumb, she
threw a bird off a cliff.
Oh!
Your mom is so dumb, I
said drinks are on the house
and she went to get a ladder.
Oh!
You're so... Um, um.
Listen pretty boy, let's call it quits.
I think the crowd knows what time it is.
No! Let's keep going.
You're so fat that...
Whoa!
(everyone cheering)
(upbeat music)
Yeah! You were good.
So how'd did I do?
You kicked butt.
I should kick your butt, Franny,
for leaving me in there with Veronica.
And did you change?
I went home.
So what are you doing over here with us?
Oh, nothing. So did you
guys hear about Game World?
You guys should sign up. I know I am.
Where's Alex?
At Game World. She got a head start.
I'm not surprised. Why
should we compete anyway?
Yeah, don't they always give
out like silly grand prizes?
Like stuffed animals?
You guys can compete in one of the new.
Super Vector game system.
Plus a new pair of Reebok pumps
and a new Hoffy BMX bike.
Wait, hold up.
No, stop playing.
I'm serious.
When they start doing that?
Something new, I guess.
I'm winning those Reeboks.
You'll be able to play that
new "Slaughter Fight" game
you always talk about at school.
Yeah, you're right. With
the Vector game system.
Alright, we're in.
Let's go. We'll catch up with Alex.
(upbeat hip hop music)
Hey girls. I see you're
getting ready for the tournament.
You guys excited?
You betcha.
[Melissa] Hi, Miss Diane.
Hi, girls. How are your parents?
Any big plans for the summer?
[Melissa] Just winning
in this tournament.
They're fine. And no big plans just yet.
Well, I look forward
to seeing both of you
young ladies at the tournament.
Did you all get your registration fee yet?
- What?
- Come again?
Sounds like you missed a line.
See? Right here in the fine print.
This is wonderful.
Well, I have to go back to my office,
but I look forward to
seeing both of you there.
She creeps me out.
Alex, you forgot to read the fine print.
[Melissa] Damn, I can't believe this.
Right?
Like how are we supposed to get $40
to compete in this tournament?
Well, I'm saying I can't
believe they put pepperoni
on my pizza after I
specifically for them not to.
Oh my gosh, focus.
What's wrong with pepperoni?
It's an all American favorite ingredient.
If you were to read "How to Eat to Live"
by Elijah Muhammad, you'd think twice.
Guys, I've got it.
- [Paulette] Alex!
- What?
[Paulette] Don't what me, young lady.
Bring your little ass in this house
and tell your friends good night
because you're on punishment.
On punishment?
Well, this is wild. Turn that up.
Wait, guys.
(upbeat music)
Guys, turn that down. You'll
get me in more trouble.
Oh, relax. Your momma
ain't coming back outside.
[Paulette] Alex, bring your
ass in here! I'm not playing.
- Yep, I'm out.
- We out.
I know that you're the only one
And I hope you feel the same
'Cause baby, my body come
for your love, for your touch
Oh, I need you to light my fire
Oh, you done messed up now.
Paulette finna cut you up.
(Marcus laughs)
How about you just
jump off a cliff and die?
Relax, buddy. What's your problem?
That's why you got a weave in your head.
Ugly.
Hey, hey, hey.
I don't want you guys talking
to each other like that
before I make you hold hands
and skip down the street.
[Marcus] Come on, dad.
Get it together.
You want to tell me what's
wrong with this picture?
It's a piece of paper
with writing on it.
Alex, I am not in the mood for games.
This is unacceptable.
Now your teacher's telling me
that you have not been going
to class or completing your assignments.
Why not?
I don't know. I've just
had a lot on my plate.
Girl, you are 14 years old.
What could you possibly be going through?
All right, look, your life is easy.
All you need to do is go to
school, get your education,
and brighten your future, that's it.
Now this family, we don't
thrive on stuff like this, okay?
So I need you to stay focused.
Now I'm going to be hard
on you because I love you,
but I need you to pull your weight.
Now, your brother has been telling me
that you have not been doing
your chores around the house.
Why not?
I want to find my mom.
[Paulette] What?
I want to find my mom.
Since when?
I don't know, I just do. It's important.
I don't want to have this
conversation right now,
especially when we're having dinner.
I'm not hungry. Can I be excused?
Yes, but you are still
on punishment, young lady.
Baby, you don't think you
were a little too hard on her?
I mean, at that age, these kids are still
trying to figure themselves out.
Jeff, honey bunny,
your baby girl still needs to
pull her weight around here.
You know what I see?
What do you see, babe?
I see a lot of you in her.
I love that little girl,
but she can just get
under my skin sometimes.
I know. Daddy knows it all.
Mm. All right, daddy.
[Jeff] Still trying to have some.
I got to go to the bathroom.
Where you going, son?
Boy, that's how you was made.
You nasty.
[Jeff] Wait, wait, wait. Come back!
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
Ice cream for 500.
(phone ringing)
Oh, what are they doing?
Babe, why don't you answer?
Hello?
Yes, one second.
Alex, the phone!
Keep in mind that you are grounded,
so I'm going to allow you to speak
to your friends for a few minutes.
Ready? Let's begin.
Hello?
You know what I've come to
realize? Your family hates you.
You do know that, right?
Oh, shut up.
I know how we can win money
for the Game World tournament.
Okay, so what I'm going to do is...
(upbeat music)
I need you to keep
an eye on your sister.
She's not to leave the house
because she's grounded.
Look at me.
All right? All right.
I'll see you later. I love you.
I love you too.
(upbeat music)
She made me smile, she's in my heart
Think about her all the time
She's in my class and she's so cool
She the reason why I love my school
Well, I really want to
get to know her more
But I never know what to say
All of my friends keep on telling me
I should try more each and every day
I tried to write her a
letter when I got home
but I can't stop playing games
All these feelings got me so worked up
I can't concentrate, no
Boys will be boys (Come on, my boys)
Boys will be boys (Sing it louder)
Boys will be boys
Boys will be
It's not what we made of
(upbeat music)
(knuckles rapping)
(upbeat music)
I try so hard to make her laugh
And I've been working overtime
Oh hell no.
Come on, Uncle Bootsie.
What you bugging for?
I'm bugging because every
time you come to my house,
you asking for something.
Don't ask me, ask your daddy.
My dad's broke right now.
Do you think I could get a
quick buck by mowing your lawn?
You, mow my lawn? Girl, please.
And your daddy ain't broke.
Look, I love you because
you my niece, all right?
But I'm running late and I
have a date with La Cienega.
Oh.
La Cienega, what kind of name is that?
I'm out.
No, no, no, no, no.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Please, Uncle Bootsie. It'll be quick.
I'm sure your girlfriend
would like how it looks.
When she comes here
and she sees my grass,
she going to think I hired
a service called Why Bother?
Do you even know how to cut grass?
No, but I'll figure it out.
That's exactly why I hired La Puente,
a professional, to cut it next week.
Uncle Bootsie, please!
Please, I really need the money.
How much is it going to
cost for your services?
That's enough.
I hope you know what you're doing.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm a pro.
Tell Montrell he owes me.
Sure.
Yeah, sure.
(upbeat music)
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Don't go slamming no doors in the house
you don't pay not one bill in.
Jackie, open the door.
- Mom, please.
- [Shanice] Jackie.
Just give me some privacy.
I'll be out in 15 minutes.
Girl. Teenagers.
Boys will be
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Boys will be
(game dinging)
Hey, guys. Sorry I'm late.
Yo, what happened to you? You okay?
Veronica?
Yeah.
And the worst part is
that she stole my money
that I was going to use
towards the tournament,
so now I have no money to give.
Oh man.
I'm sorry, guys.
That's okay, Jackie. Karma
will come back around her.
Since we're in like a
confessional mood right now,
I have to say, I wasn't able to earn
as much money as I thought we would.
What happened?
The ice cream truck.
Why am I not surprised?
Do you ever take anything seriously?
Yeah. Ice cream.
So Alex, what's up with you?
Well, luckily guys,
I was able to rack in
a little bit of money.
Ooh!
- Whoa!
- Wow.
Okay.
[Melissa] You weren't lying.
We have enough. We're
going to Game World.
Damn, your brother
must have the good stuff.
Oh yeah.
Does he?
Oh no.
He's too stupid to-
[Marcus] Alex!
You are so dead.
- Oh god.
We need to leave right now
before my brother kills us all.
(upbeat music)
Catch me, catch me
You're never going to catch me
Catch me, catch me
You're never going to catch me
Catch me, catch me
You're never going to catch me
Alex, get your back here! Alex!
Alex! Bring your ass back here.
I'm moving fast just like
a (Catch me if you can)
Taking off, yeah I got plans
There aint no stopping me
from moving full speed ahead
If you plan to speed up,
won't you let me know
Say I'm moving to fast,

No we'll let them back

Try to catch me if you can
If you can't keep up,

Shout out, got the summer glow
No we'll let them back

Try to catch me if you can
Catch me, catch me
You're never going to catch me
Catch me, catch me

Our hearts are racing, beating more
Adrenaline is rushing, and
nothing's going to slow us down
Can you keep up and give up now
I'm feeling good
I can keep going on
for miles and miles
If you can't keep up
won't you let me know
Oh wait, hold on guys. All right.
Jackie.
I really think you should
enter this tournament
and get this win for us.
What? I'm just as capable
of winning as she is.
[Both] We've both seen you play.
Man, whatever. Y'all bugging.
Wait, Jackie. Okay, hold on.
Remember, stay focused.
Keep your eyes on the prize.
Okay.
Say it with me.
[Both] Eyes on the
prize, eyes on the prize,
eyes on the prize.
Hey, Tia and Tamara, can you hurry up?
Jackie needs to play.
Catch me, catch me
You're never going to catch me
Catch me, catch me
You're never going to catch me
Catch me, catch me
You're never going to catch me
Catch me, catch me
You're never going to catch me
Yo, yo, yo, yo. What's good, everybody?
(everyone cheering)
Thank you all for coming out,
and welcome to Game World.
First, I'd like to give a
special thanks to our spectators
for being true fans of
the gaming industry.
(everyone cheering)
Now gamers, I hope everyone
brought their game faces on
because today's the big day.
Who will be victorious?
Now the main objective
today is to have fun,
but try your best.
You only lose if you give up.
Now for my fellow contestants,
please sign your name on the
list in the concession area
and grab a name tag.
Now, without further ado,
let's give a warm welcome
to the one who made all this
possible, Diane Wilkins.
(everyone cheering)
Thank you. Oh, welcome, welcome.
Good luck to everyone and
may the best person win.
(everyone cheering)
Hey Melissa, I forgot my name tag.
Can you get it for me?
All right, bet.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
I'm so sorry, Daniel.
I wish I could have traded
places with you that night.
Yo, yo!
There's something fishy
with that, what's her name?
Diane lady.
Melissa, can't this wait?
The last thing we need is
for Jackie to get distracted.
Alex, I'm telling you,
something isn't right with that lady.
Can I have Selena, Victor, Anthony,
and Jackie on stage, please?
(upbeat music)
I've been searching high,
I've been searching low
Seems like I can't find nowhere to go
After all this time, I
can't do no more tries
I just wait for love to come to me
A special kind of love
You can get it, it don't come easily
You've got to work with it,
just takes a lot of trust
And no fears
It's essential to your life
Your time could be wasted
You can get it, it don't come easily
You've got to work with it,
just takes a lot of trust
(dramatic music)
Hey, who's the kid?
Yeah, he came out of nowhere.
He's got to be good if he went this far.
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music continues)
Oh my God, I can't believe he won.
(bell ringing)
And the winner is Anthony!
(everyone cheers)
Good job, good job.
Oh my God! I so hate him.
It's bad enough we lost a
tournament to some White boy,
and now this.
Shut up, Melissa.
I didn't see you playing
in the tournament.
That's because Alex
volunteered you instead of me.
I'm hungry. I could go for some pizza.
Do you know what? Actually, me too.
Let's hit the neighborhood
When I come outside,
make me feel so good
Feel so good
- Ah!
- Jesus Christ.
Girl, what is that on your face?
Geez, you could have
scared us half to death.
Thanks for destroying our bikes.
Why do you have Pebbles with you?
First off, let's just say we're even
because part of me wants to hurt you,
but I'll let y'all slide for now.
Either way, mom told me to walk the dog,
so here I am staring at you three idiots.
That pizza smell good.
Is that mushroom and olive I smell?
Gee, nothing gets past you.
Of course not. It's my favorite pizza.
All right, little sis. Let me get a slice.
Oh, hell no. This is
our pizza, get your own.
Alex, stop being a little punk.
Let me get a slice of pizza.
Are you hard of hearing? I said no.
Leave us alone.
Okay. All right.
I'll tell you what.
Since you three stooges
don't want to give me a slice of pizza,
then Pebbles here just might
not be coming home with me.
Why do you have to be so cruel?
Man, forget him. Marcus,
you can kiss our ass.
I can kiss...
Okay, see you, Pebbles.
Wait, Pebbles.
Give me that. Thank you.
Way to ruin our night, idiot.
Hey, I'll be an idiot
enjoying your pizza.
Okay.
They is never going to catch Pebbles.
Mm, mm, mm.
(Pebbles barking)
(dramatic music)
Pebbles!
Pebbles.
- Pebbles.
(dramatic music)
What?
Guys, this is Diane's house.
Let's leave before she catches us.
Oh my God. What the hell is that smell?
Yeah, it smells like my brother's room
when he comes home from
basketball practice.
What if there's a dead body here?
I doubt it.
Who in their right mind
would bury something in the backyard?
True, but it's weird to
see the backyard so uneven.
And so much dirt in one location.
I told you something
was wrong with Diane
during the Game World tournament.
Wait, is that?
That can't be what I think it is.
Oh my God.
Wait, it is.
Is that a baby's hand?
Oh, I think it is.
Oh, crap. We got to go.
Come on, Pebbles. Come on.
I'm going to be in so much trouble
when my dad finds out
I broke his lawnmower.
Trouble?
Get in trouble? Did you see that hand?
Yeah, I saw it.
I'm never watching
scary movies ever again.
I think we should
definitely check this out.
No, mission abort.
We are not doing that.
To live in fear is to not live at all.
Yeah. Okay, "License to Drive."
You're enjoying this.
You know what, Melissa?
I think Alex likes getting us in trouble.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, come on.
I'm going home for dinner.
I think today has been one
heck of a day for us all.
Oh my gosh, you're so right.
Oh my gosh, I can practically
hear dinner calling my name.
See y'all.
Guys.
Guys, think about it.
I'll think about it while
y'all both are on punishment.
(dramatic music)
[Eric] Please don't let me die.
[Diane] You're not going to die.
Not on my watch, I promise.
[Eric] My brother's the
only family I have left.
His name is Paul Cooper.
Excuse me. I'm looking
for my brother, Eric.
He got caught in a
crossfire. How's he doing?
Are you Paul?
Did he make it?
I'm sorry. We did
everything that we could.
I'm so sorry.
It's fine. I'm sure you
did the best you could.
I just feel like I failed
him as a brother, you know?
Growing up, we weren't that close,
but when our parents died,
I told my mom I would look after him.
Now he's gone.
I'm sorry about your brother.
I lost the love of my life,
so I know about losses.
I'm sorry to hear
that. How'd you overcome?
I never really did.
You just learn how to move through grief.
You have family?
I was never really close with my family.
After I lost him, I just
couldn't really handle all of it.
It seems like we have
a lot we can relate to.
You know, I got to get out of here.
Are you stationed out here?
Yeah, I am now.
Dealing with these things
alone can be really hard,
so if you ever need anybody,
you can always call me.
Yeah, I think I'll do that.
You don't have anything to worry about
So hush and I promise
You'll never have to
worry about anything again
(dramatic music)
Mm, oh yeah
(upbeat music)
Oh, baby
Hush, hush
Listen to what I have to say
Oh
Lately, you've been
searching for my love for you
I'm telling you I know that's there
'Cause you doubt my love,
I feel it in my heart
(upbeat music)
(dog barking)
Is that the kid from the
Yeah, he ruined my game
and now he's going to
ruin my neighborhood too.
Well, I don't think so.
Hi. I just moved in.
As if we didn't notice.
Now listen, welcome to the
neighborhood or whatever,
but you're going to have
to stay out of our way.
Man, it sure is hot today.
Hey, well, me and Alex
are going to head over
to Desertville with our water soakers.
You want to come?
I can't. My dad wants me
to come in early tonight.
That's cool. See you later?
See you.
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music continues)
Oh, you good?
You good?
You again? You obsessed?
Just trying to help.
I saw you trip.
I'll be fine.
You don't look fine.
You're welcome.
Just let me get onto the bike.
I think I can do it from here.
You sure you don't want
me to just call your mom?
I'm sure she can pick us up.
No!
She does not need to know we
were here or this happened.
Okay, fine. Fine.
I'll be fine.
I can help you home.
- Yes.
- No. Excuse us.
He's looking like the
only way we can get home
for a pain free ride.
I can't ride with him.
Why not? Because of the game?
The game? Because of everything.
Okay, then walk.
I will.
Ow! Jeez, okay, fine.
Get him over here, but you better tell him
not to try any funny business.
Okay.
I'm going to go get your
dad so he can get your bike.
Why do you think I'm such a bad guy?
No one said that.
You act like it.
I think you might've
said it at this point.
I didn't want to be here.
I'd rather still be in Adelanto.
Adelanto? Don't know why.
It's boring down there.
You're funny.
Why'd you guys leave?
Because my dad found
this job with a company.
He's a software engineer working
on a hand held communicator
called the IBM SIMON.
It's going to be really
big soon, they say.
Yeah, sure it is.
Well, that's the reason
my mom says we moved.
The real reason is because
my dad got his secretary pregnant.
That's a lot.
Yeah, they think I don't know.
After my mom found out,
she insisted that we move.
Holy crap.
Yeah.
My dad sends money, but
my mom didn't want the mom
or baby part of our lives.
Well, that's sad.
Yeah.
He tells me about being selfish
and only thinking about myself,
but to encourage your dad
to have no relationship
with his own kids seems like
the ultimate selfish move.
It is.
Yeah, she didn't even think about me.
It's a brother or sister I'll never know.
What if the mom doesn't want it either?
Well then, it'll go into foster care.
I'd never want to be
a baby no one wanted
and have to go to foster care.
What are you doing?
I can walk from here. Thanks.
Did I say something?
Nope, your usual self.
And I would rather be
in life altering pain
than deal with you.
Wait, are you a foster
child? Were you adopted?
Bingo, brainiac.
You are not going to die.
Not on my watch, I promise.
(baby crying)
(knife thudding)
[Cheryl] Maybe you should have a seat.
I'm okay.
I can't let you go
into surgery like this.
Like what?
Let's just sit down.
Diane, please let me help you.
The only person that needs help
is the man dying on the operation table.
The doctor told me
you haven't been going
to your therapy appointments.
I might have missed one or two.
She keeps asking the wrong questions.
Like what?
Like about my baby and
the death of my husband.
I think they're just trying to help you.
I don't need therapy.
Okay.
Well, I need to go find someone
who can help me with this patient.
I can help.
No, you can't. I'm
too concerned about you.
Don't be.
Hey, Alex.
I wanted you to have this.
Have what?
The "Slaughter Fight" game.
You won that.
I know, but you and
the girls deserve it.
Especially Jackie.
The third models before
this had zero dark features.
I hope she likes it.
You don't have to feel bad for me.
I don't think that.
Well, thanks, but your pity gifts
are going to have to be better than that.
So you guys ready to figure
out what that smell is?
What smell?
From Diane's backyard.
She had this weird
No, shut up. She had nothing.
What did she have?
You know, Melissa likes
to go on about crazy things.
No, I don't.
What did she have in her yard?
We don't know.
Let's go find out.
Look at you. A dare devil, I see.
Nah, we're good.
No, we're going. Come on, Melissa.
Where are you going?
(dramatic music)
I don't smell anything.
Of course you don't.
You're like 50 feet away.
Well, plan's foiled. We can leave now.
[Anthony] What do you
think caused the smell?
Well, you're not going to believe it,
but we saw a baby's hand.
This lady is hiding something,
and we're going to figure out what.
You realize that's
manure she's spreading?
What do you think she's
doing? The holes are so big.
Maybe planting trees?
More like planting bodies.
[Anthony] Why?
Well, if we knew that we
wouldn't be here, now, would we?
Oh, I bet that's where
she's planting her next body.
And that's where we're
going to dig up first.
Let's regroup tomorrow.
You listen to me.
You tell Shaun that is unacceptable, okay?
This is a huge month for this company
and if we do this the right way,
it could be very lucrative for us, okay?
So I need you to close
this deal. Make it happen.
Hi, guys.
Young lady, do you know what time it is?
What are you talking
about? It's still early.
I need you here at a sensible hour.
But the street lights
haven't even hit yet.
I don't give a damn.
What's gotten into you?
You know what? Just get out of my sight.
Can you believe this little girl?
Baby, it's not even that late.
Psst.
This is why Paulette should
have never adopted you
in the first place.
[Paulette] Excuse me, what
did you just say to her?
I didn't say nothing, Paulette.
[Paulette] Boy, if you call
me by my name one more time.
I didn't.
(dramatic music)
Hello?
[Alex] Anthony? What do you want?
How'd you get my number?
The phone book. Listen,
I wanted to apologize.
What, worried about
the little orphan kid
that nobody wants?
Worried about the girl next door
who I would like to be a friend.
Is there anything I can do to help you?
[Alex] Find my real parents.
Well, I can use my mom's phone book.
My dad never likes using
it, but my mom always does.
She says everything's in there.
Maybe we could call around.
Yeah, I guess that's a start.
How about you come over to my house.
Come where? To your room?
Hold your horses. It's
not that type of party.
[Michelle] Honey, are you ready?
Oh crap. I totally forgot.
My mom and I do this
thing before we go to bed.
[Alex] What is it?
It's a little embarrassing.
It's not really important.
[All] Sure. Yeah, see ya.
Not if I see you first.
You know, you really outdid
yourself with these eggs, dad.
Thank you. Think about
keeping up the pace, you know?
Running some errands, mowing the lawn.
Mowing the lawn?
Yeah, that lawn won't mow itself.
Hey, how about I teach you?
That won't be necessary.
Yes, you could have a little bit
more responsibility around here.
I mean, I do a lot around here.
No, no, that's okay.
It'll be good for you.
I will teach you how to
use it later on today.
And maybe if you get good at it,
you can mow the neighbor's lawn
and make some extra money for the summer.
Yeah, right.
Okay, I can fix this. I can fix this.
Fix what? Is that my lawnmower?
No, dad. Of course not.
Mel, what did I tell you about lying?
No, I'm not. I can explain, I just...
Listen, baby. You don't
ever have to lie to me.
If something is bothering
you, you can tell me.
Well, there is something.
Okay.
It's kind of embarrassing.
Melissa, you are my
daughter and I love you.
There's nothing you can say
or do that is embarrassing.
It's about my weight.
There is nothing wrong with you.
Do you know how funny, how
smart, and how beautiful you are?
You have so much to be thankful for.
You're just saying that
because you're my dad.
No, I'm saying that because
you are perfectly imperfect.
You don't have to change for nobody.
Okay, okay, dad. Enough
of this mushy stuff.
By the way, you're on punishment.
Oh, dad, can we reschedule
this P-word for next week?
Thank you, dad. I love you.
(dramatic music)
Very good. We'll see.
Oh my gosh, mom. You almost
gave me a heart attack.
Let's talk.
Boy, is it that obvious?
It's my job to know.
You know, when I was
your age, I was bullied.
Really?
Absolutely.
So you understand my problem.
Until one day,
I stirred up enough
courage to face my fear.
How do you do it?
Your grandmother.
Grandma Helen?
One day, she saw me with a black eye.
She looked at me, then grabbed a belt
and told me to go back outside
to find whoever did it,
or else I'm going to give
you one in the other eye.
Yeah, G-mama don't play that.
Don't let this kid or whoever this is
treat you like a punching bag.
I want you to face your fears
and breathe through the panic.
Okay mom, I'll try that.
Good. Come on.
Let's go to bed.
Okay.
Hey mom, do you like Bruce Lee movies?
Jackie, girl, go to bed.
(upbeat music)
(knuckles rapping)
Mom, someone's at the door.
Richard, would you mind getting that?
Honey, can't you see that
I'm in the middle of something?
For Christ's sake, it's just a game.
We are talking about the finals here.
We're not expecting guests anyway.
Fine. I'll do it myself.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm Diane. Welcome to the neighborhood.
I hope I didn't catch you at a bad time.
No, you're fine.
Is that for me?
It sure is, yeah.
Just a little, you
know, welcoming present.
Oh my, that is lovely. Thank you.
[Richard] Who is it?
It's Diane from across the street.
She brought us a cake to enjoy.
[Richard] That's nice, sweetheart.
Do you mind closing the
door? You're killing the A/C.
Would you like to come in?
Oh no, I'm just fine.
I have errands to run.
I just wanted to welcome
you all to the neighborhood.
Thank you.
Oh, hi young man.
Oh, hi.
Oh, you know my son.
He comes down to my arcade.
You won a tournament a few days ago.
Is that so? Yeah, he
loves those video games.
Yeah. So you own one
of them arcade things?
I sure do.
Hmm.
[Richard] Michelle, honey,
can you please close the door?
I can barely hear the game.
Anyway, why don't you
come back in an hour?
We could eat it together.
Are you sure?
Yeah, yeah. Oh, don't worry about him.
He's just crazy about the game.
But all he talks about is
this Michael Gordon character
or whatever his name is.
Oh yes, I think I've heard of him.
Yeah. So I'll see you in an hour?
Sure, yeah. Yeah.
Let me just go home and
freshen up and I'll be over.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
Yeah, I'll see you in a bit.
See you in a bit.
And thank you.
[Diane] You're welcome.
Richard. Next time, you open the door.
Dinner's going to be ready in an hour
and we'll be having company over here.
(commentator speaking indistinctly)
(knuckles rapping)
[Anthony] It's me.
Yep, it's Boo boo the Bear.
What do you want?
Let me in. It's super important.
[Jackie] Why can't you just tell us now?
Because someone might
hear me. Let me in.
[Melissa] Don't let him in.
What's it about?
It's about Diane.
I don't think he's
lying. I'm letting him in.
[Melissa] Oh my gosh.
Whatever, just make it quick.
I'm this close to winning
all y'all's Blow Pops.
So what's the 411?
You guys are not going to believe this,
but Diane is coming over to
my house tonight for dinner.
What does that have to do with us?
Well, if Diane is over
at his house tonight,
that means we can go over to her house
and figure out what's
going on in her backyard.
Oh no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I am not going back over there again.
Come on, let's just
continue playing the game.
What time is she coming over?
My mom told her to come in an hour.
Melissa, what time is it?
It's skin-thirty.
Oh my gosh.
Why do I care what time it is?
As long as the street lights are on.
It's 5:50 PM on the dot.
Is that the new Dick Tracy watch?
Yeah. You like it?
Guys, focus.
We've got a little bit
of time before she comes.
So how about you go back home
and give us some type of
signal when she arrives
and we'll make our way
over to her backyard?
What do you want me
to do for the signal?
Maybe he can shine a
flashlight towards us.
That can work.
Just keep a flashlight by
you and run to a window
and wave it three times to let
us know the coast is clear.
You do know how to like
work a flashlight, right?
[Anthony] Duh.
Jackie, do you still
have those walkie-talkies?
Yeah, but I don't
think the batteries work.
Anyone got any fresh batteries?
Let's take some out of a TV remote.
This won't fit, Donnie Whalberg.
It's no biggie.
I can just go to the store
and get some new ones.
Cool, so me and Melissa
will gather up the rest
of the gear we're going to
need for tonight's mission.
We all meet back up here in
20 minutes wearing all black.
Here you go, Mr. Larry.
[Larry] Find everything all right?
Uh-huh.
[Larry] You know what, I'm
going to put this on your tab.
[Jackie] Thank you.
How's your mama?
She good.
Okay. Tell her Mr. Larry say what's up.
Okay, Mr. Larry.
Have a good one.
[Jackie] You too.
Hey, man. Come on, man.
You've been in here for
15 minutes, man. Hurry up.
(dramatic music)
Looks like it tastes good.
(girls laughing)
Got any more in that bag?
Oh, she's going to cry.
What are these?
They're batteries.
I know what they are.
Now go back in there and
get me some Ring Pops.
You heard her.
(girls laughing)
What's the hold up? Go get my Ring Pops.
No.
What?
I said no.
Little girl, I'll destroy you.
You're dead.
(head thuds)
Hey, hey, hey. Put that down.
And you three get up on out of here
before you really get
hurt messing with her.
Scram!
You okay?
Yeah, I'm all right. Am I in trouble?
In trouble? Nah, I'm
minding business that pays me.
You know I see that
little girl around here
messing with kids all the time.
You probably the first
one that stood up to her.
Hold up. When you learn
to fight like that?
Movies.
That's cute. But you
got to do me one favor.
Leave these weapons alone.
You see these hands?
This is all you need, okay?
It needs to be your last defense.
It was, Mr. Larry.
You know you got some talent.
I could probably use
somebody like you on my team.
Your team?
Yeah, I run a dojo a
few blocks from here.
I teach kids just like you to compete.
You want to join?
You know, that'd be cool.
I have to ask my mom though.
Alright, well look.
You come back and see me when you ready.
Alright. Thanks, Mr. Larry.
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You forgot something.
Have a good one.
(dramatic music)
Survive or surrender
Life got no middle
Praying for a sign that
my faith too brittle
Shadows on the concrete
I'm here. Let's go.
Are you serious? Selena?
My favorite shirt ever.
Anything for Selena.
I said all black. That
shirt looks whickety whack.
Oh, come on, you bugging. This is fly.
Whatever, but if we get caught,
it's going to be all your fault.
Ugh, where's Jackie?
Here I am. I had to drop
off batteries with Anthony.
Oh my God. You too?
[Jackie] What?
I swear y'all don't listen
to me. I said all black.
My mom don't buy black kicks.
You're being dramatic.
This mission is a failure
before we even get started.
Wait, what happened to your lip?
Oh yeah, I ran into Veronica.
What? Don't tell me
that gremlin jumped you.
What happened?
Well, I Mr. Miyagi'd her ass.
Wait, for real?
I was like, ugh.
(grunting)
Okay, I wish I was there
to see that in real life.
Hello.
Way to stand up for yourself.
Thanks.
Hey, guys. That's Anthony's signal.
What?
That's Anthony's
signal. Let's make moves.
Okay, okay.
Go.
[Michelle] Boy, what are you doing?
Mom, I was just chasing down some cats.
I saw them messing with the trash can.
Oh, did you get them?
Yeah, I got them.
Okay, well, let's not be
rude and tend to our guests.
Okay.
What in the world is going on here?
We haven't even found anything.
And why are we using these
tiny shovels to dig anyways?
Just keep digging. I'm
sure something will pop up.
Melissa's right. We would've
found something by now.
Let's just go.
No. I know she's hiding something.
Y'all saw it here before.
Well, maybe she moved it.
Maybe you're right.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hell no.
This is where I draw the line.
We are not going in the house.
It's only for a second.
Oh my gosh. Okay, when did
you become the daredevil?
Oh, way to go, Jack.
Oh my gosh. We're
going to get in trouble.
This is stupid. Have you
guys not watched "Cops"?
We're going to go to jail.
We're not going to go jail. We're kids.
They have jail for kids too.
Well, Jackie's in.
So that means the only
chicken in the crew is you.
(Alex imitating chicken)
I ain't no chicken.
Shut up.
I know you ain't trying to
crack no jokes right now.
Oh, come on.
All of this energy can be used
towards getting in and out of the house.
So are you in with us or
are you going to be a chicken?
I told you I'm not a chicken.
Now come on, let's go
before she comes back.
Come on, guys, let's go.
This is so stupid.
Honey, what's wrong?
You haven't even touched your
food and it's your favorite.
I'm just not that hungry.
You better eat that good food, boy.
You know what?
If you finish your food,
you can have a nice
slice of the pound cake
that Diane's brought for us.
But you will not have one slice
until you finished your
food, especially those peas.
I won't eat that cake anyways.
Anthony, what did we talk
about in regards to being rude?
It's okay. Pound
cake's not for everybody.
Apologize, boy.
It's okay. That's not necessary.
I'm so sorry, Diana. Don't
know what's gotten into him.
Don't apologize for him.
He needs to take responsibility
for his own actions.
Apologize, Anthony.
Richard!
No, you will not be
out here telling my boy
not to take accountability
for his own actions.
Accountability?
Now is not the time.
May I be excused?
[Richard] No, you may not. Eat.
Oh my goodness.
Anthony, what did I just say?
Richard, can you please just let him go?
He just...
Maybe it's a good time for me to go.
No, no, you're fine.
These boys are just showing out right now.
(chair thuds)
I'm sorry. Why don't we just
try your delicious cake?
Hey, Jackie. Is
everything good over there?
Yeah, everything's cool.
Didn't find anything though.
So when are y'all coming back?
Well, Alex wanted to
go inside the house.
What? Are you crazy?
See, even dufus face
over here agrees with me.
I heard that, Ursula.
Hey, listen here, you... Wait.
Hello?
Wait, aren't those brand new batteries?
Guess you got the cheap kind.
Hello?
I was about to let him have it.
Put that thing away. Let's
see what's in this house.
(door creaks)
Would you look at that? It's open.
It's almost like she wanted us to come in.
Sure. Let's just get
in this crib and get out.
You guys smell that?
It smells like what we smelled before.
It's got to be a dead body, I swear.
Well, whatever it is,
it's going to lead us straight
to what we're looking for.
Start searching.
Oh my. This cake is delicious.
Thank you. It was my mother's recipe.
She actually won
competitions with this cake.
Wow. Oh, that sounds amazing.
Yeah.
So where are y'all from?
I'm native here.
I see. Do you want another slice?
Sure. Yeah.
Yeah? Coming right up.
Richard, do you want another slice?
[Richard] Sure.
So how long have you two been married?
Richard and I have
been married for... Ugh!
Oh my goodness. Are you okay?
It's bleeding pretty bad.
Would you mind grabbing
some bandages and alcohol
from the drawer next to the fridge?
Sweetheart, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine. Where's
the first aid kit?
Can you grab me a paper towel?
Yeah, I thought I packed
it but I can't find it.
Oh, don't worry. I have one at home.
I'll be back in a few minutes, okay?
Okay. Thank you.
It's really deep.
Sorry. Let me get another one.
We searched all downstairs.
Maybe we should check upstairs now.
No. What?
If there's nothing downstairs,
there's not going to be anything upstairs.
Chicken.
You have one more time to call me that.
Okay, guys. Hush, let's go.
Alex, what are you doing?
Alex, we don't have time
to be looking at photos.
Yeah, Diane could come
back any minute now.
You guys go upstairs and
see if you can find anything.
I'll catch up.
What? You want to split up?
This is not "Scooby Doo"
and you are not Velma.
We can't do that.
Just go.
It's okay, we got this. Let's go.
That's how White people
die in scary movies.
(dramatic music)
Why are you crying?
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
Alex, what's wrong?
She's my mom.
Oh my God.
We've got to get you out of here.
Guys, you're not going to believe this.
I just found a dead baby in Diane's room.
Did you guys hear me?
Why is she crying?
I'll tell you later. We
got to get out of here.
Get out of here? There's
a whole dead baby upstairs.
Forget that baby. We've
got to get Alex help.
Oh my gosh. This is too much.
Just tell me why she's crying.
Diane is her mom.
What?
See, I told y'all this was a
bad idea. We need to get out.
I'm not going.
[Melissa] What?
Girl, you're crazy. Come on.
You guys can leave if you want,
but I'm staying here until she gets back.
I know you're hurt and confused,
but that is a terrible idea.
Let's just get your parents
so they can figure this out.
My parents?
Diane was down the street this whole time
and they never even said anything.
They're the last people I want to see.
So I'm staying.
It's not a smart idea to have somebody
who has a dead baby in the room
to stay alone with you and talk.
She probably killed that baby,
which means she'll probably kill you.
I guess that's a chance
I'm going to have to take.
(keys jingling)
Now's your chance to leave.
I'm not leaving you.
Oh, I hate you guys. I'm staying too.
(footsteps approaching)
Girls?
What the hell are you doing in my house?
Why do you have a
dead baby in your room?
What are you talking about?
Yeah, you heard her.
Why is there a dead baby in your bedroom?
I have no idea what
you're talking about.
You all need to leave now.
We're not going anywhere, Mom.
What did you just say?
That's right. I'm your daughter, Diane.
If you're not going to
explain the dead body,
then explain this.
Excuse me. What are you doing?
You have no right to touch those.
Why do you have these? Never
apart, together forever.
This can't be. Where did you get that?
I've had it forever.
Why did you leave me?
I've been dreaming about you for years.
Why would you do that when I
have done nothing wrong to you?
[Jackie] She doesn't
deserve you. That's why.
[Melissa] Are you really
not going to say anything?
She wouldn't understand.
Of course you wouldn't respond.
You have a dead baby in your room.
You shut your mouth.
I did what I had to do.
I did what was best for this little girl.
I have seen so many men die from illness
or at the hands of greedy politicians
who sent other men to fight their battles.
I lost the one man who ever truly loved me
and this greatest gift to me.
But you still had me.
Was I not enough for you?
Was I not enough to make you
forget all your past pains?
[Jackie] It still doesn't
explain the dead baby.
It was an accident.
Nothing more, nothing less.
That's it. I'm calling the police.
Don't you dare.
[Melissa] Oh God, Let her go!
Please let her go.
- Let me go!
[Jackie] Let her go.
You want me to leave now?
Alex, tell them that your mom
said it's time to go home now.
Guys, just go.
Alex, we can't just leave you.
You heard her. Get out of here.
Go leave. Just get out of here.
I'll be okay.
(Alex shouts)
Next time, there'll
be a lot more blood. Go.
(hands thudding)
Oh hey, what is with all this ruckus?
Where's Anthony?
He's in the house. Why?
Where's Alex?
She's got her. She's going to kill her.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Who has got who? What's going on?
Dad, they're talking about Diane.
She's going to kill Alex.
Mister, you've got to believe
us. She's going to get hurt.
Honey, call the police.
What are you going to do to me?
We're going to go on a trip.
Get that mommy daughter
time that we missed.
[Officer] What'd you say her name was?
Diane Wilkins.
[Officer] Diane Wilkins,
who runs the arcade?
You know her?
[Officer] Oh yes. She's got a history.
Well, that's just great.
And you let her open
an arcade for children?
(dramatic music)
You got to stop crying.
I'm not going to hurt you anymore, okay?
Everything was just all a mistake.
Was I a mistake?
No, no. All the mistakes
that were made were made by me.
So that explains my little brother.
I told you that was a mistake.
What happened, Diane?
(dramatic music)
Dirty, dirty, dirty baby.
Dirty baby, take a bath.
I forgot something.
Mommy will be right back.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(Diane panting)
Oh no! No, no, no, no.
(Diane crying)
He just laid there in the water
like some of the soldiers
I had to put to rest.
I could never forgive myself.
Now I see why you left.
Was that man in the photo with you my dad?
No.
Your dad died of cancer
before you were even born.
The man in that photo was the
father of your little brother.
I was just too young and too
screwed up to take care of you.
You're so beautiful.
I don't want to hear anymore.
You have no idea what I had to go through
because you couldn't get it right.
I don't want to go with you
anymore. Let me out the car.
What was I supposed to do?
I don't know. Let me out of the car.
I can't leave you out here.
Yes, you can. I know my way around here.
I'll be fine. Just let me out.
Alex, please.
Shut up. I don't want to hear anymore.
Please don't.
(siren blares)
(dramatic music)
Diane, we know you're
there with the child.
Please exit the vehicle, hands up,
and leave the child in the car.
You should listen to that.
Mrs. Wilkins, please
step out of the vehicle
with your hands up now.
(car door thuds)
I just want to remind you
that everything I did for you
was because I love you.
And if I could do it all over
again, you would be mine.
I love you.
You can have me, but don't hurt her, okay?
She did nothing wrong.
She'll be fine. Just
get on the ground now.
(dramatic music)
(birds chirping)
(gentle music)
[Anthony] How'd you do?
All right. Einstein.
(Alex giggles)
How are you holding up?
I mean, it's not easy, but
my mom put me in therapy,
and once or twice a month,
I get to visit Diane.
It's hard seeing her like that.
But we're slowly rebuilding
our relationship.
That's good. Like my dad
always says, one day at a time.
[Alex] That summer was
truly one to remember
as we all learned valuable lessons
that changed the course
of our lives forever.
I now realize the closure
that I received is not
granted to everyone.
And even though it
brought pain to my heart,
I'd do it again.
Your mama is so dumb,
she thought "The Exorcist"
was a workout video.
[All] Oh!
And your mama is so old,
she was a waitress at the Last Supper.
[All] Oh!
(gentle music)
What you want?
You're pretty funny.
Obviously.
I was just wondering.
Wondering what?
I was wondering if you'd
be down to ride bikes
and get ice cream sometime.
Ice cream? No, I'm vegetarian.
Oh, okay. Well.
Man, I'm kidding. I'd be down.
What about your moron friends?
Oh, those guys? I dropped them.
I don't need to be around anyone
who don't know a cute
girl when they see one.
(gentle music)
[Alex] So here's to
the mysteries of life.
The obstacles that lay before us
and a lifetime of self-discovery.
(dramatic music)
(upbeat music)
That one summer night
Oh
That one summer night, hey
That one summer night
I survived
That one summer night
I survived
I survived
I survived that one summer night
One summer night
When I think about the
things I've been through
Have to look to the sky and thank you
You brought me far
When it was hard, you were there
Never let me down (Never failed)
Never faded, held me close
That one summer night
I survived that one summer night
I survived that one summer night
I survived
I survived that one summer night
I survived (One summer night)
Yo, La Cienega, baby.
Hurry up and get back to this movie, man.
Give me some hip to hip, snuggle me down.
[La Cienega] You know
what's slowing you down?
That yard work.
Why you keep treating
about the yard work?
I'm going to get it fixed, baby.
I'm going to work it out.
Actually, it's a design.
It's a little mohawk shag design.
It's not halfway done like you think.
It's a shag mohawk lawn.
[La Cienega] I think
you're trying to be funny
because you said you ain't like
what you see there last night,
and I don't really like that.
My niece was supposed to
mow the lawn, all right?
I gave her some money,
she only did a halfway job, and she left.
It's not my fault.
[La Cienega] It's not your fault
that you gave responsibility
to a little girl
for a big man job?
Okay, baby. I'm just
trying to get to the yams.
I survived, yeah
That one summer night
One summer
That one summer night
Yeah, that one summer night
One summer night
One summer night
I survived that one summer night
I survived
One summer night
I survived that one summer night
I survived
That one summer night
Yeah, one summer night
That one summer night
Yeah
Made one time
That one summer night
Yeah
That one summer night
That one summer night
One summer night
That one summer night
Yeah
That one summer night
I'm still in love
That one summer night
One summer night
I survived that one summer night
I survived
I survived that one summer night
I survived
