1. The summer I was eight years old,
Copy !req
2. five hours disappeared from my life.
Copy !req
3. Five hours... lost.
Copy !req
4. Gone without a trace.
Copy !req
5. Last thing I remember,
I was sitting on the bench
Copy !req
6. of my little league game.
Copy !req
7. It started to rain.
Copy !req
8. What happened after that
remains a pitch black void.
Copy !req
9. Brian?
Copy !req
10. Brian?
Copy !req
11. You dork, what the heck
are you doing in there?
Copy !req
12. Hey... you're bleeding.
Copy !req
13. Whoo! It is terrible out there!
Copy !req
14. Mom!
Copy !req
15. Well, hello, sweetheart.
Copy !req
16. What happened to you?
Copy !req
17. Brian got a bloody nose
hiding in the cellar.
Copy !req
18. Whatever on earth
were you doing down there?
Copy !req
19. Are you okay, sweetheart?
Copy !req
20. Ohh, oh, you poor
little baby.
Copy !req
21. They had me cooped up all night
in that awful mail room.
Copy !req
22. I didn't even know it was
raining till I got off work.
Copy !req
23. - Hold still.
- Ow.
Copy !req
24. Didn't one of the other moms
give you a ride home?
Copy !req
25. I'm going to bed.
Copy !req
26. I hope you're happy.
Copy !req
27. I knew he'd get hurt
playing sports
Copy !req
28. out there in the field.
Copy !req
29. You know,
when I was a kid,
Copy !req
30. I wasn't exactly
a star player, either,
Copy !req
31. but at least I gave it
my all... I wasn't a quitter.
Copy !req
32. Sorry, Dad.
Copy !req
33. Good night.
Copy !req
34. I told your father that
little league thing
Copy !req
35. was a stupid idea.
Copy !req
36. Hold your nose.
Copy !req
37. Mom made me quit baseball
the very next day.
Copy !req
38. This was when
the nightmares began...
Copy !req
39. and the nose bleeds.
Copy !req
40. I wet the bed several times...
Copy !req
41. and then there were
the blackouts.
Copy !req
42. I'd feel my eyes
roll back in my head.
Copy !req
43. I'd crumple to the floor
like a dropped puppet.
Copy !req
44. The darn thing's
not even a year old yet.
Copy !req
45. Maybe it's screwed up from
all the lighting last week.
Copy !req
46. Oh, your father's going
to be overjoyed about this.
Copy !req
47. What time's Dad getting home?
Copy !req
48. Not for another hour,
at least, honey.
Copy !req
49. Mom, Deborah, come look!
Copy !req
50. It's a UFO!
Copy !req
51. Oh, please, it's just
a weather balloon or something.
Copy !req
52. No, look what it's doing to the TV.
Copy !req
53. It's flying over the house!
Copy !req
54. Let's go up on the roof.
Copy !req
55. No, wait!
Copy !req
56. Children, be careful!
Copy !req
57. That summer,
Copy !req
58. those were the two things
I'd never forget.
Copy !req
59. The cramped, stale darkness
of the crawlspace
Copy !req
60. and, equal in power
and mystery... that UFO,
Copy !req
61. out there somewhere,
traveling across the universe.
Copy !req
62. The summer I was
eight years old,
Copy !req
63. I came for the first time.
Copy !req
64. I was watching my mom
going at it with her boyfriend
Copy !req
65. of the moment, Alfred,
in my old swing set.
Copy !req
66. Alfred was all Marlboro man,
dumb as a fucking rock.
Copy !req
67. What I would, years later,
come to call "my type."
Copy !req
68. And only the most boring,
stupid things
Copy !req
69. would ever come
out of his mouth, but...
Copy !req
70. seeing him like this,
whimpering and grunting
Copy !req
71. like a helpless animal,
Copy !req
72. I couldn't take my eyes off of him.
Copy !req
73. I'd been masturbating for years,
but it wasn't
Copy !req
74. till that summer
that jizz actually
Copy !req
75. squirted out my dick
when I came.
Copy !req
76. Couldn't wait to show Coach.
Copy !req
77. Oh, maybe I should start
at the beginning.
Copy !req
78. Back in June, my mom signed me
up for Little League.
Copy !req
79. Well, it was Alfred's idea...
a way for them to fuck freely,
Copy !req
80. without the expense of a sitter.
Copy !req
81. Are you excited?
Copy !req
82. Coach Heider?
Copy !req
83. Desire sledgehammered me.
Copy !req
84. He looked like the lifeguards,
cowboys and firemen,
Copy !req
85. I'd seen in the "Playgirls"
that my mom
Copy !req
86. kept stashed under her bed.
Copy !req
87. Back then, I didn't know
what to do with my feelings.
Copy !req
88. They were like, a gift I had
to open in front of a crowd.
Copy !req
89. - Hello.
- Hello.
Copy !req
90. I'm Ellen McCormick.
Copy !req
91. And this is my son, Neil.
Copy !req
92. Hello, Neil.
Copy !req
93. Honey, don't you want to say
hello to your new coach?
Copy !req
94. Don't worry, it takes him
a while to warm up to strangers.
Copy !req
95. I quickly became
the team's star player.
Copy !req
96. Which wasn't saying much,
considering the other kids
Copy !req
97. were a bunch
of hopeless spazzes.
Copy !req
98. Our first game,
bottom of the eighth,
Copy !req
99. I whacked a triple
with bases loaded.
Copy !req
100. The crowd went fuckin' nuts.
Copy !req
101. But I didn't care about that.
Copy !req
102. All that mattered
was it made Coach proud.
Copy !req
103. After that first victory,
the coach called my mom
Copy !req
104. to tell her he was taking
the team out to a movie
Copy !req
105. to celebrate.
Copy !req
106. Hey, big guy, ready to go?
Copy !req
107. Coach?
Copy !req
108. Yeah.
Copy !req
109. Where's everybody else?
Copy !req
110. Well, it looks like it's just going to be
you and me today, bud.
Copy !req
111. Really?
Copy !req
112. Yep.
Copy !req
113. Cool.
Copy !req
114. I picked "Blood Prom."
Copy !req
115. It's an R-rated slasher flick...
Copy !req
116. tons of cool gore
and murders in it.
Copy !req
117. When this one really annoying
blonde chick
Copy !req
118. got her head chopped off,
I cheered.
Copy !req
119. After the movie,
we we picked up a pizza
Copy !req
120. and headed back to Coach's.
Copy !req
121. Coach's house was awesome!
Copy !req
122. He had a giant TV,
Copy !req
123. an Atari with Donkey Kong,
Copy !req
124. Asteroids, Frogger.
Copy !req
125. All my favorite games.
Copy !req
126. - Ohh!
- Ha, you exploded.
Copy !req
127. My turn.
Copy !req
128. Sure your mom's
not expecting you?
Copy !req
129. Ah, she works.
Copy !req
130. She's probably got a date
with Alfred afterward.
Copy !req
131. My guess is you spend
a lot of time by yourself, huh?
Copy !req
132. Yeah, but I kind of like it.
Copy !req
133. I just ride my bike
and watch TV.
Copy !req
134. It's cool.
Copy !req
135. Oh, shit.
Copy !req
136. You made me mess up!
Copy !req
137. Sorry.
Copy !req
138. Hold on.
Copy !req
139. Come here for a sec.
Copy !req
140. Oh, bring one of them
bottles of Peach Nehi.
Copy !req
141. Okay... this might seem
a little weird at first,
Copy !req
142. but I need to record
my team's voices,
Copy !req
143. especially my best players.
Copy !req
144. Okay?
Copy !req
145. Take this.
Copy !req
146. Now just speak into it using
your normal voice.
Copy !req
147. Well, what should I say?
Copy !req
148. Whatever you like.
Copy !req
149. Start with your name.
Copy !req
150. Neil.
Copy !req
151. Now take a big sip of pop...
and belch.
Copy !req
152. Uhh! Shit.
Copy !req
153. Good.
Copy !req
154. Say that again.
Copy !req
155. Shit.
Copy !req
156. Again.
Copy !req
157. Shit, shit, shit.
Copy !req
158. Keep going.
Copy !req
159. Shit.
Copy !req
160. Hell! Damn!
Copy !req
161. Now, um, look up
into the camera.
Copy !req
162. Now stick your tongue out.
Copy !req
163. Make a...
make a funny face.
Copy !req
164. Good, good.
Copy !req
165. Yeah...
yes, Neil, yes.
Copy !req
166. Yes.
Copy !req
167. Open your mouth real wide.
Copy !req
168. Neil, that's perfect.
Copy !req
169. July 2nd.
Copy !req
170. We had a 7:30 game
against Hutchinson Taco Hut.
Copy !req
171. I know you're gonna
kick their butts tonight.
Copy !req
172. You gonna knock one out
of the park for your poor,
Copy !req
173. hard-working mom?
Copy !req
174. So you're gonna get
a ride home with Coach, right?
Copy !req
175. - Yeah.
- Mm-mwah.
Copy !req
176. You're mine, and I love you,
and don't you ever forget it.
Copy !req
177. Boy, were you on fire tonight.
Copy !req
178. It's the best you
ever played.
Copy !req
179. Thanks, Coach.
Copy !req
180. Hey, can we play some more of
those game cartridges tonight?
Copy !req
181. Sure, we can.
Copy !req
182. But I gotta show
you something first.
Copy !req
183. Ew... I look stupid
in this one.
Copy !req
184. No.
Copy !req
185. You look perfect...
your expression.
Copy !req
186. Like you're having
a wonderful dream.
Copy !req
187. Neil...
Copy !req
188. I've been thinking
a lot about you this week.
Copy !req
189. I'm hungry.
Copy !req
190. Sure.
Copy !req
191. You want a pizza?
Copy !req
192. I might have something here
you'd like.
Copy !req
193. Whoa!
Copy !req
194. What'll it be, little buddy?
Copy !req
195. My mom never
buys these things.
Copy !req
196. She says they're a big
waste of money.
Copy !req
197. Let's eat then.
Copy !req
198. Which one do you want?
Copy !req
199. I don't know,
what are you having?
Copy !req
200. Corn pops.
Copy !req
201. Then I'll have, uh...
Copy !req
202. Cocoa Krispies.
Copy !req
203. Uhh!
Copy !req
204. Shit.
Copy !req
205. Sorry.
Copy !req
206. You do one.
Copy !req
207. Whoo, good one!
Copy !req
208. Whoo!
Copy !req
209. Here we go.
Copy !req
210. I like you, Neil.
Copy !req
211. I like you so much.
Copy !req
212. When I really,
really like someone...
Copy !req
213. there's a way I show them
how I feel.
Copy !req
214. Shh.
Copy !req
215. Angel.
Copy !req
216. There's nothing wrong with
kissing someone like this.
Copy !req
217. Don't ever let anyone
tell you that it's wrong.
Copy !req
218. It happened.
Copy !req
219. That's what I told myself.
Copy !req
220. It just happened.
Copy !req
221. And after it was over,
Copy !req
222. I looked down
at the mess on the floor.
Copy !req
223. It was like a kaleidoscope
had shattered.
Copy !req
224. And when I swallowed,
Copy !req
225. the taste of Coach's tongue
seared my mouth.
Copy !req
226. You liked it.
Copy !req
227. It's okay that you liked it.
Copy !req
228. Everything's
gonna be okay.
Copy !req
229. Do you know him
or something?
Copy !req
230. I met Wendy Peterson when I was ten.
Copy !req
231. She was 11, one grade
ahead of me in school.
Copy !req
232. What are you doing?
Copy !req
233. Damn, no razor.
Copy !req
234. You're insane.
Copy !req
235. If I wasn't queer,
we would have ended up
Copy !req
236. having sloppy teenage sex
and getting pregnant,
Copy !req
237. contributing more fucked-up,
unwanted kids to society.
Copy !req
238. But instead,
she became my soul mate.
Copy !req
239. My... one true partner in crime.
Copy !req
240. Let's kidnap him.
Copy !req
241. His mom says we're supposed
to take him home.
Copy !req
242. Wh-where are you taking me?
Copy !req
243. A house with lots
and lots of candy.
Copy !req
244. Goody.
Copy !req
245. Beware...
Copy !req
246. Beware...
Copy !req
247. Bewaaaare.
Copy !req
248. These are the eyes of
the axe murderer's victims.
Copy !req
249. Come on, Satan.
Copy !req
250. Hurry up, chicken.
Copy !req
251. Brian...
Copy !req
252. I never much cared for Halloween,
Copy !req
253. but this particular year,
I couldn't shake the feeling
Copy !req
254. that something horrible
was gonna happen.
Copy !req
255. And there was nothing
I could do to stop it.
Copy !req
256. Wait outside for me.
Copy !req
257. I'll be done in a minute.
Copy !req
258. All right, you hold him
while I go get something.
Copy !req
259. What are we gonna do?
Copy !req
260. Have some fun.
Copy !req
261. What's the matter, Satan?
Copy !req
262. What did you say, Punk?
Copy !req
263. What a loser!
Copy !req
264. Loser! loser!
Copy !req
265. Brian?
Copy !req
266. Brian?
Copy !req
267. I thought that was you.
Copy !req
268. Lie down.
Copy !req
269. Lie down, retard.
Copy !req
270. Wh-what are you doing?
Copy !req
271. Shut up... shut up,
or we'll kill you.
Copy !req
272. Point the beam over here.
Copy !req
273. Open your mouth.
Copy !req
274. I said open your mouth!
Copy !req
275. Now, keep these
in your fuckin' mouth.
Copy !req
276. And you better do
what we say,
Copy !req
277. or I'll kill you, I swear.
Copy !req
278. Now give me the matches.
Copy !req
279. Wendy, come on, give me
the damn matches!
Copy !req
280. Shine the flashlight on him.
Copy !req
281. Neil, he's gonna tattle!
Copy !req
282. Don't worry,
I know what to do.
Copy !req
283. There are things we can do
to get him on our side.
Copy !req
284. That's it.
Copy !req
285. Just lay still for a minute.
Copy !req
286. You're my
little green buddy,
Copy !req
287. and there's this cool thing
I wanna show you.
Copy !req
288. When I was little,
a man used to do this to me,
Copy !req
289. and you're really
gonna like it.
Copy !req
290. There, that's it.
Copy !req
291. That's my boy.
Copy !req
292. Wendy never looked at me
quite the same after that night.
Copy !req
293. I mean... sharing this part of myself
Copy !req
294. I'd never shown anyone else,
ever before.
Copy !req
295. And I knew we'd be bound
together... forever.
Copy !req
296. I woke up...
Copy !req
297. once again not knowing
where I was
Copy !req
298. or what had happened to me.
Copy !req
299. By the time
I made my way back,
Copy !req
300. Deborah said I'd been missing
for over an hour.
Copy !req
301. But I couldn't
remember a thing.
Copy !req
302. All I knew was that it
was somehow linked
Copy !req
303. to the other time,
Copy !req
304. the night I woke up
in the cellar.
Copy !req
305. And I also knew that,
no matter how long it took,
Copy !req
306. I had to find out what
had happened to me.
Copy !req
307. I had to find an answer
to the mystery.
Copy !req
308. When I was 15,
I overheard some kids at school
Copy !req
309. talking about a place.
Copy !req
310. A place that you could find
even in a dumb-ass hick town
Copy !req
311. like Hutchinson.
Copy !req
312. Bingo.
Copy !req
313. Here we go.
Copy !req
314. How's it going?
Copy !req
315. Okay.
Copy !req
316. I'm Charlie.
Copy !req
317. Neil.
Copy !req
318. Wanna go for a ride?
Copy !req
319. Sure.
Copy !req
320. You got cash?
Copy !req
321. I'll pay 50, no higher.
Copy !req
322. You gotta be careful
out here.
Copy !req
323. The cops patrol
this whole entire area,
Copy !req
324. and they got brains enough
to know what's up.
Copy !req
325. I'm in Hutchinson on business.
Copy !req
326. I supply snack foods
to the local markets.
Copy !req
327. Go ahead.
Copy !req
328. Take whatever you want.
Copy !req
329. Hungry, huh?
Copy !req
330. We've only got an hour.
Copy !req
331. So we better get busy.
Copy !req
332. Wait.
Copy !req
333. Let me.
Copy !req
334. Beautiful.
Copy !req
335. So, uh, what do you like to do?
Copy !req
336. Tell me what you
want me to do.
Copy !req
337. Whatever.
Copy !req
338. You like older guys, huh?
Copy !req
339. Tell me.
Copy !req
340. Yeah.
Copy !req
341. Mmm, that feels nice.
Copy !req
342. You are such a beautiful,
beautiful boy.
Copy !req
343. I'm gonna come.
Copy !req
344. I'm gonna come.
Copy !req
345. Agh!
Copy !req
346. I know what
you're thinking.
Copy !req
347. That wasn't safe.
Copy !req
348. But we're in Kansas,
thank God,
Copy !req
349. not some big city
full of diseases.
Copy !req
350. Plus...
you're only a kid.
Copy !req
351. Boo.
Copy !req
352. Maniac!
Copy !req
353. You scared me.
Copy !req
354. Thanks for meeting me.
Copy !req
355. Yeah, well,
this better be good.
Copy !req
356. My mom will kill me if she
finds out I snuck out this late.
Copy !req
357. I have something
I wanna show you.
Copy !req
358. Ew.
Copy !req
359. Look.
Copy !req
360. Yeah, so?
Copy !req
361. That's me.
Copy !req
362. You're such a liar.
Copy !req
363. I don't believe you.
Copy !req
364. I'll prove it.
Copy !req
365. Okay, how?
Copy !req
366. Oh, my God,
what are you...
Copy !req
367. Put that back in your pants,
exhibitionist.
Copy !req
368. Look.
Copy !req
369. No way, perv.
Copy !req
370. Look what the guy
did to me.
Copy !req
371. Are those bruises?
Copy !req
372. Fucker
gnawed on my dick
Copy !req
373. like it was a fuckin'...
candy cane.
Copy !req
374. I didn't even realize he was hurting me
till after I blew my load.
Copy !req
375. Well, you better
watch out, McCormick.
Copy !req
376. Next time someone might
chomp the whole thing off.
Copy !req
377. Seriously.
Copy !req
378. Even Hutchinson has
its share of freaks.
Copy !req
379. You trick with the wrong guy,
Copy !req
380. and I'd find pieces
of you everywhere.
Copy !req
381. Okay, "Mom."
Copy !req
382. I wish there's a movie
showing right now.
Copy !req
383. Me too.
Copy !req
384. A film about our lives.
Copy !req
385. Everything's that's
happened so far.
Copy !req
386. And the last scene would
just be us standing right here.
Copy !req
387. Just you and me.
Copy !req
388. Yeah.
Copy !req
389. I hear something.
Copy !req
390. It's the voice of God.
Copy !req
391. I hear him.
Copy !req
392. Mom!
Copy !req
393. It's about to begin.
Copy !req
394. All right, I'm coming.
Copy !req
395. Ahh. VCR on?
Copy !req
396. Checked it twice.
Copy !req
397. This is probably gonna be a little silly.
Copy !req
398. The commercial
showed this crazy old man
Copy !req
399. claiming aliens beamed him
right up out of his bathtub.
Copy !req
400. If you're going to make fun,
Copy !req
401. I'd just as soon
watch it by myself.
Copy !req
402. Shh, it's starting.
Copy !req
403. Tonight on "World Of Mystery,"
Copy !req
404. we investigate
the terrifying world of UFOs.
Copy !req
405. Is it mass hysteria
or something all too real?
Copy !req
406. They kept me prisoner
for hours!
Copy !req
407. They examined me
like I was a...
Copy !req
408. a frog in biology class.
Copy !req
409. And then they stuck a probe
in my stomach.
Copy !req
410. I still got the scar
here to prove it.
Copy !req
411. Look at that.
Copy !req
412. I always got scared
Copy !req
413. anytime I watched movies
about UFOs.
Copy !req
414. Even "E.T." scared me.
Copy !req
415. Poor thing.
Copy !req
416. She looks so homely and sad.
Copy !req
417. - Shh!
- Avalyn Frisen
Copy !req
418. lives in the tiny,
ordinary town of Inman, Kansas.
Copy !req
419. "Inman."
Copy !req
420. That's only 30 miles away.
Copy !req
421. 32 years old,
she is unmarried,
Copy !req
422. lives with her father,
Copy !req
423. and works part-time
as a secretary.
Copy !req
424. But there is something
unusual about Avalyn.
Copy !req
425. For as long
as she can remember,
Copy !req
426. things have happened to her,
things she cannot explain.
Copy !req
427. I'd heard about people
Copy !req
428. who've experienced
missing time.
Copy !req
429. Whole chunks of their lives
they couldn't account for.
Copy !req
430. Under hypnotic regression,
Copy !req
431. I learned that I had been
abducted more than 20 times.
Copy !req
432. - Oh, please!
- Quiet.
Copy !req
433. The first time was when I was 6.
Copy !req
434. I was on my way home from
a picnic with my grandparents.
Copy !req
435. It was dark, and we got lost
driving down a dirt road.
Copy !req
436. Grandpa lost control of the car,
Copy !req
437. and we went into a ditch.
Copy !req
438. There was this
blinding white light.
Copy !req
439. But the aliens weren't
interested in my grandparents.
Copy !req
440. They floated me up out of the car
Copy !req
441. using some sort
of gravitational ray.
Copy !req
442. That's it...
I've had enough.
Copy !req
443. I'm gonna get some ice cream.
Copy !req
444. - Want some?
- No, thanks.
Copy !req
445. I remember lying on a table.
Copy !req
446. It was cold,
smooth and shiny.
Copy !req
447. The aliens surrounded me.
Copy !req
448. They were bald,
with huge,
Copy !req
449. marshmallowy heads
and tiny arms.
Copy !req
450. But the worst part
was their eyes.
Copy !req
451. The only way
I can describe them is big,
Copy !req
452. black diamonds,
all liquidy and jellyish.
Copy !req
453. I can't believe
I'm finally getting out
Copy !req
454. of this fuckin' nowhere town!
Copy !req
455. You better let me know
the second you're settled.
Copy !req
456. Or else.
Copy !req
457. You better come,
or else.
Copy !req
458. New York City.
Copy !req
459. You're so lucky.
Copy !req
460. Hey, ass face.
Copy !req
461. What you gawking at?
Copy !req
462. Faggots!
Copy !req
463. Shit, just go,
go, go, go, go!
Copy !req
464. Fuck you!
Copy !req
465. Remember the guy
I told you about last week?
Copy !req
466. White Camaro?
Copy !req
467. That's him,
parked by those trees.
Copy !req
468. I've fucked every single john
in this park.
Copy !req
469. Except for White Camaro.
Copy !req
470. So it's time for you two
to get lost.
Copy !req
471. Stop scaring
my business away.
Copy !req
472. You want us to come
pick you up later?
Copy !req
473. Yeah, if you want.
Copy !req
474. I'll be done by,
like, 7:00.
Copy !req
475. We'll meet you.
Copy !req
476. Speak for yourself, Eric.
Copy !req
477. I gotta get home
and start packing.
Copy !req
478. All right,
call me tonight.
Copy !req
479. I'll see you later.
Copy !req
480. You better be careful.
Copy !req
481. Of what?
Copy !req
482. I'm serious, Eric.
Copy !req
483. You're not in Modesto anymore.
Copy !req
484. I see the way
you look at him.
Copy !req
485. He's so beautiful.
Copy !req
486. I can't help it.
Copy !req
487. He's like a god.
Copy !req
488. You don't have to tell me.
Copy !req
489. I was infatuated
with him, too, once.
Copy !req
490. But I know all Neil's secrets,
and there's shit there
Copy !req
491. you don't even want
to know about, trust me.
Copy !req
492. Once I'm gone,
you'll be all Neil has,
Copy !req
493. and you have to understand
one thing.
Copy !req
494. Where normal people
have a heart,
Copy !req
495. Neil McCormick
has a bottomless black hole.
Copy !req
496. And if you don't watch out,
Copy !req
497. you can fall in
and get lost forever.
Copy !req
498. Brian?
Copy !req
499. Brian, you home?
Copy !req
500. Yeah, Mom... in here.
Copy !req
501. No class today?
Copy !req
502. I've got English Comp
discussion group at 7:30.
Copy !req
503. Hmm... you have mail.
Copy !req
504. Looks like one
from your sister.
Copy !req
505. And one from "A. Friesen"?
Copy !req
506. I can't believe
she wrote me back.
Copy !req
507. Who?
Copy !req
508. Avalyn Friesen,
the woman on TV.
Copy !req
509. Well, she didn't
have to go dump
Copy !req
510. a whole gallon of perfume
on it, now, did she?
Copy !req
511. What does she say?
Copy !req
512. She wants me to visit her
in Inman.
Copy !req
513. Well, thanks
for the ride, Preston.
Copy !req
514. Later.
Copy !req
515. Ah, you just missed it,
sweetie.
Copy !req
516. This little old lady
just won both showcases.
Copy !req
517. Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
518. What did she get?
Copy !req
519. She got a trip to Scotland,
beautiful living room set,
Copy !req
520. a brand-new car.
Copy !req
521. I can't remember the name of it,
but it cost over 27 grand.
Copy !req
522. Are you wearing cologne?
Copy !req
523. Was work okay?
Copy !req
524. It was the pits.
Copy !req
525. God when is our ship
gonna come in, huh, baby?
Copy !req
526. Soon, Ma.
Copy !req
527. It'll be soon.
Copy !req
528. Oh, Neil, don't forget.
Copy !req
529. Tomorrow's my date.
Copy !req
530. That hot Italian.
Copy !req
531. The guy who always comes
through my checkout lane.
Copy !req
532. Well, don't worry,
'cause I'll be at work.
Copy !req
533. It's the last tournament
of the season.
Copy !req
534. Vincenzo.
Copy !req
535. Brian!
Copy !req
536. Brian, hey!
Copy !req
537. Patches! Patches, down!
Copy !req
538. Sorry, she gets a little excited.
Copy !req
539. Hi, you must be Brian...
I'm Avalyn, obviously.
Copy !req
540. Dad?
Copy !req
541. It's okay, Daddy.
Copy !req
542. This is the young man
I was telling you about.
Copy !req
543. Don't mind him.
Copy !req
544. He's just a little wary
of strangers.
Copy !req
545. I'm so glad you're here.
Copy !req
546. Come on.
Copy !req
547. It isn't showy,
but it's home.
Copy !req
548. Here, have a seat.
Copy !req
549. Have you eaten?
Copy !req
550. I was just in the middle of lunch,
I hope you don't mind.
Copy !req
551. No, go ahead.
Copy !req
552. I ate earlier.
Copy !req
553. So, you saw the show?
Copy !req
554. Several times.
Copy !req
555. I videotaped it.
Copy !req
556. They left some stuff out,
but they managed to get
Copy !req
557. the major points across.
Copy !req
558. I think I was taken too.
Copy !req
559. You mentioned that
in your letter.
Copy !req
560. You're at the point
I was a few years ago,
Copy !req
561. where you're just starting
to remember things.
Copy !req
562. There are many of us,
and we all have this drive
Copy !req
563. to know what happened.
Copy !req
564. So... you think that's
what happened to me?
Copy !req
565. Just from what I told you
about the missing time and...
Copy !req
566. Oh, I'm sure of it.
Copy !req
567. Feel like going on a walk?
Copy !req
568. What's that you're carrying?
Copy !req
569. It's a dream journal.
Copy !req
570. I keep a log
of all my dreams.
Copy !req
571. Whatever bits and pieces
I can recall, at least.
Copy !req
572. I... I feel like it's slowly
helping me remember.
Copy !req
573. That's a really
good idea.
Copy !req
574. Your subconscious is where
all your memories are buried.
Copy !req
575. For you and me
and people like us,
Copy !req
576. almost every single thing we do
Copy !req
577. stems from our
being abducted.
Copy !req
578. Come here, I want to show you
something they wouldn't allow
Copy !req
579. on "World of Mystery."
Copy !req
580. I've been tagged.
Copy !req
581. Part of their experiments.
Copy !req
582. Touch it.
Copy !req
583. When I was taken,
my leg was bleeding,
Copy !req
584. but I didn't remember
being cut, nothing.
Copy !req
585. Then, under hypnosis
is when I discovered
Copy !req
586. that's where they
implant the tracking device.
Copy !req
587. Now everything I do,
they know.
Copy !req
588. In fact, I wouldn't be
surprised if they were
Copy !req
589. spying on us right now.
Copy !req
590. When I was found that night,
my nose was bleeding.
Copy !req
591. The old up-the-nose trick,
so the scar can't be seen.
Copy !req
592. Don't forget to write.
Copy !req
593. Don't you forget
what I told you.
Copy !req
594. Okay.
Copy !req
595. You better come see me
soon, asshole.
Copy !req
596. Yeah, I will.
Copy !req
597. I will.
Copy !req
598. Stay out of trouble,
you two.
Copy !req
599. Bye.
Copy !req
600. I can't believe it's so late.
Copy !req
601. My mom's gonna worry.
Copy !req
602. You still live
with your mom?
Copy !req
603. My dad moved out
seven years ago.
Copy !req
604. I don't see him much.
Copy !req
605. You wanna read me
one of your dreams?
Copy !req
606. Ah, I just, you know,
Copy !req
607. scribble them out
in the middle of the night.
Copy !req
608. Sometimes I can
barely even read them.
Copy !req
609. That's okay.
Copy !req
610. This is from two nights ago.
Copy !req
611. "There's a blue light.
Copy !req
612. "I'm in my
little league uniform,
Copy !req
613. and a tall alien
is hovering over me."
Copy !req
614. "Someone else is with me.
Copy !req
615. Another boy,
also in uniform."
Copy !req
616. A Panther?"
Copy !req
617. Um, that was the name
of my baseball team.
Copy !req
618. Let's see, uh...
Copy !req
619. "The alien has
big, black eyes.
Copy !req
620. "He's touching my face."
Copy !req
621. "I want to cry out
for help, but...
Copy !req
622. "I... I can't.
Copy !req
623. I... I can't."
Copy !req
624. You're on your way
to uncovering the truth.
Copy !req
625. Think of yourself as
a detective, following clues.
Copy !req
626. Maybe concentrate on the other
boy in your dreams.
Copy !req
627. He could help you find
the answers you're looking for.
Copy !req
628. Two outs.
Copy !req
629. Third baseman Jackson up,
with Hinton on deck.
Copy !req
630. Jesus.
Copy !req
631. Check out that Jackson.
Copy !req
632. Hubba hubba.
Copy !req
633. Ew...
are you joking?
Copy !req
634. Nah, I'd fuck him for free.
Copy !req
635. Please return all foul balls
to the press box.
Copy !req
636. Thank you.
Copy !req
637. You don't think
Jackson's hot?
Copy !req
638. Dude, he's fat and bald.
Copy !req
639. Different folks,
different strokes.
Copy !req
640. My Daddy hit this.
Copy !req
641. Well, come here, come on in,
collect your prize.
Copy !req
642. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
643. One second.
Copy !req
644. All right, what'll it be,
big guy?
Copy !req
645. Cash or bubbles?
Copy !req
646. You can't decide?
Copy !req
647. All right, come on,
hold out your hand.
Copy !req
648. One, two...
Copy !req
649. Thanks!
Copy !req
650. You're welcome.
Copy !req
651. See you later.
Copy !req
652. What?
Copy !req
653. When kids do good,
you gotta reward them.
Copy !req
654. Oh, Christ,
it's Hinton...
Copy !req
655. a.k.a. "Ass of the Gods."
Copy !req
656. I am so fucking wasted!
Copy !req
657. Aah! Ohh!
Copy !req
658. Oh, shit.
Copy !req
659. Where's your mom?
Copy !req
660. Uh... she's probably out
Copy !req
661. with her new boyfriend,
Vincenzo.
Copy !req
662. Mm. Ohh.
Copy !req
663. I've got a wicked headache.
Copy !req
664. Do you have any pot?
Copy !req
665. Yeah, come on.
Copy !req
666. Here...
knock yourself out.
Copy !req
667. Uhh!
Copy !req
668. Oh, there's a porno in the VCR
if you wanna jack off.
Copy !req
669. Thanks.
Copy !req
670. You got a lighter?
Copy !req
671. Yeah... here.
Copy !req
672. You like that?
Copy !req
673. It tickles a little.
Copy !req
674. That feels good, doesn't it, Neil?
Copy !req
675. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
676. Can we put the blanket over our
heads, like we did last time?
Copy !req
677. Here we go.
Copy !req
678. Find what you were looking for?
Copy !req
679. Uh... yeah.
Copy !req
680. Thanks a lot.
Copy !req
681. Glad I could help out.
Copy !req
682. I used to write
for my school paper too,
Copy !req
683. back in the day.
Copy !req
684. Yeah, well, this will
really make a big difference
Copy !req
685. in my article.
Copy !req
686. Maybe you'll win
a Pulitzer Prize.
Copy !req
687. Maybe.
Copy !req
688. Well, you just let me know if
there's anything else you need.
Copy !req
689. Mm-hmm, th-thanks so much.
Copy !req
690. You done already?
Copy !req
691. I'm on kind of a tight deadline.
Copy !req
692. Oh, well, good luck.
Copy !req
693. That's two outs,
Garfield the batter...
Copy !req
694. Heim on deck.
Copy !req
695. Scoot your chair back a little further.
Copy !req
696. That's better.
Copy !req
697. Wait, hold on a sec...
hold on.
Copy !req
698. And at the end
of three innings,
Copy !req
699. the score is Hutchinson
First National Bank, three,
Copy !req
700. Wichita Coleman
Industries, zero.
Copy !req
701. Okay. Go on.
Copy !req
702. Where have you been?
Copy !req
703. Sorry...
I should've called.
Copy !req
704. I didn't realize the time.
Copy !req
705. Well, your dinner's
cold as ice.
Copy !req
706. That's okay.
Copy !req
707. Brian,
what's going on?
Copy !req
708. You've been acting
so strangely.
Copy !req
709. Disappearing for hours.
Copy !req
710. It's just school, Mom.
Copy !req
711. College is way different
than high school.
Copy !req
712. Did you ever
call your father back?
Copy !req
713. I've been busy.
Copy !req
714. I'll get it...
you finish your dinner.
Copy !req
715. Hello... yes...
Copy !req
716. He's eating his supper
right now.
Copy !req
717. Who is it?
Copy !req
718. It's that UFO woman.
Copy !req
719. I'll... I'll get it in the hall.
Copy !req
720. Got it.
Copy !req
721. - Brian?
- I was just gonna call you.
Copy !req
722. I found a photo of the boy.
Copy !req
723. The one from my dreams.
Copy !req
724. That's amazing.
Copy !req
725. What are you doing
right now?
Copy !req
726. Uh, n-nothing.
Copy !req
727. There's something
I need to show you.
Copy !req
728. Something important...
can you come out here?
Copy !req
729. Sure...
Copy !req
730. Hi, honey...
how was work?
Copy !req
731. Fuck you.
Copy !req
732. I am so fuckin' sick
Copy !req
733. of this stinky little
butt crack of a town!
Copy !req
734. Patches, shh, quiet!
Copy !req
735. You'll wake Daddy.
Copy !req
736. Brian, thanks for coming.
Copy !req
737. No problem.
Copy !req
738. I stole this from
Copy !req
739. the Hutchinson
Chamber of Commerce.
Copy !req
740. That's him...
the boy from my dreams.
Copy !req
741. Look at his face.
Copy !req
742. It's almost like you can
tell he knows something.
Copy !req
743. What are you doing?
Copy !req
744. "N. McCormick."
Copy !req
745. You can start looking for him
first thing tomorrow morning.
Copy !req
746. Maybe he still
lives in Hutchinson.
Copy !req
747. Meanwhile, I have
to show you something
Copy !req
748. only you will understand.
Copy !req
749. I've fucked every single guy
Copy !req
750. and his ugly uncle
in this Podunk town.
Copy !req
751. Twice.
Copy !req
752. You want one?
Copy !req
753. One of us has to drive.
Copy !req
754. I got a postcard from Wendy.
Copy !req
755. I think she's mad at me because
I owe her, like, three letters.
Copy !req
756. Yeah, her last P.S. is...
Copy !req
757. "Tell Fuckface to write me."
Copy !req
758. So you wanna hear
what she says?
Copy !req
759. "Hey, ass, so New York
is insane and crazy
Copy !req
760. in the best possible way."
Copy !req
761. Pardon me.
Copy !req
762. Can we help you?
Copy !req
763. I was wondering if I might
buy you boys a drink.
Copy !req
764. Fuck off.
Copy !req
765. You heard me, fag.
Copy !req
766. Fuck... off.
Copy !req
767. Stuck up little pricks.
Copy !req
768. Harsh.
Copy !req
769. Wasn't he kind of your type?
Copy !req
770. Hate it when they look like
Tarzan and sound like Jane.
Copy !req
771. Let's get
out of this shithole.
Copy !req
772. But we just got here.
Copy !req
773. Patches.
Copy !req
774. Patches!
Copy !req
775. Patches, get away from there!
Copy !req
776. Farmers have been finding
mutilated cattle like this
Copy !req
777. around here for years.
Copy !req
778. I told "World of Mystery,"
Copy !req
779. but they conveniently
edited it out.
Copy !req
780. Daddy says it's just a bunch
of Satan worshippers
Copy !req
781. going around
chopping up cows.
Copy !req
782. Ha!
Copy !req
783. Come here...
let me see your hand.
Copy !req
784. Feel that?
Copy !req
785. Its sex organs.
Copy !req
786. They're gone.
Copy !req
787. The aliens, they
experiment on cattle
Copy !req
788. because the poor things
are so defenseless.
Copy !req
789. Us, on the other hand,
they can't kill us,
Copy !req
790. so they just leave behind
the hidden memories
Copy !req
791. of what they've done.
Copy !req
792. Which, in a way,
is almost worse.
Copy !req
793. Notice anything else
strange?
Copy !req
794. There's no blood.
Copy !req
795. They took that, too.
Copy !req
796. Brian?
Copy !req
797. Oh, my God, Brian!
Copy !req
798. Brian!
Copy !req
799. Here we go.
Copy !req
800. Oh, my God,
Brian!
Copy !req
801. Tell him you like it.
Copy !req
802. Brian! Oh!
Copy !req
803. Brian, are you okay?
Copy !req
804. Oh, God... Brian.
Copy !req
805. Brian...
Copy !req
806. Neil, what are you doing?
Copy !req
807. Come on.
Copy !req
808. It's 2:30 in the morning.
Copy !req
809. You called me your fuckin'...
Copy !req
810. angel.
Copy !req
811. So you're sure Wendy's gonna
meet you at the station?
Copy !req
812. I don't want you getting lost
in that crazy city.
Copy !req
813. Ma, you don't
have to worry, okay?
Copy !req
814. Call me collect
the minute you arrive.
Copy !req
815. - All right.
- Promise me.
Copy !req
816. - Okay.
- Promise me, Neil.
Copy !req
817. Okay.
Copy !req
818. We should've at least
gotten you a decent hair cut.
Copy !req
819. I gotta take a piss.
Copy !req
820. Preston.
Copy !req
821. We'll be right back.
Copy !req
822. Fuck, man.
Copy !req
823. - What's the matter?
- I don't know, man.
Copy !req
824. Fucking dick itches like
a motherfucking... fuck!
Copy !req
825. Well, what do you want me
to do about it?
Copy !req
826. Just look down there.
Copy !req
827. Preston, come on,
help me out here.
Copy !req
828. What the fuck's wrong with me?
Copy !req
829. Dude...
Copy !req
830. you've got crabs.
Copy !req
831. I mean, it's no big, man.
Copy !req
832. You just go to the drug store,
get this stuff called Rid.
Copy !req
833. You better be playing safe.
Copy !req
834. I stay in control.
Copy !req
835. Honey, your bus
is boarding.
Copy !req
836. All right.
Copy !req
837. My baby.
Copy !req
838. You're all grown up.
Copy !req
839. You gonna be careful?
Copy !req
840. Yeah, I will.
Copy !req
841. You're mine and I love you...
don't you ever forget it.
Copy !req
842. Come on, I'll buy you
a Dairy Queen.
Copy !req
843. So what are you gonna do
now that Neil's gone?
Copy !req
844. Kill myself, I guess.
Copy !req
845. Eric, that is not funny.
Copy !req
846. Well, I start Hutchinson
Community College next week.
Copy !req
847. Really?
That's so wonderful.
Copy !req
848. Pathetic is more like it.
Copy !req
849. Well, you know you
are always welcome
Copy !req
850. to come over to the house,
even without Neil around.
Copy !req
851. Thanks, Mrs. M.
Copy !req
852. I may just take you
up on that.
Copy !req
853. You'd better.
Copy !req
854. Who the hell is that?
Copy !req
855. Incognito Boy Scout?
Copy !req
856. Can I help you?
Copy !req
857. Is this your house?
Copy !req
858. Yes.
Copy !req
859. I'm really sorry to bother you,
Copy !req
860. but I got your address
out of the phone book.
Copy !req
861. I've spent
the whole afternoon
Copy !req
862. checking every McCormick
in Hutchinson,
Copy !req
863. and you're the last one
on my list.
Copy !req
864. Anyways, I don't mean
to babble...
Copy !req
865. What do you want?
Copy !req
866. I'm looking
for an N. McCormick.
Copy !req
867. Are you F.B.I?
Copy !req
868. Sorry, honey,
Copy !req
869. but it looks like
you are shit outta luck.
Copy !req
870. You mean there's no
N. McCormick living here?
Copy !req
871. I mean we just
put him on a bus
Copy !req
872. headed for New York City.
Copy !req
873. I'm Neil's friend Eric,
and this is his mom.
Copy !req
874. "Neil"?
Copy !req
875. His name is Neil?
Copy !req
876. Yeah.
Copy !req
877. I'm Brian.
Copy !req
878. Brian Lackey.
Copy !req
879. So you still haven't written.
Copy !req
880. Big surprise.
Copy !req
881. But Wendy says you're doing
okay, which is cool.
Copy !req
882. I've been wanting to tell you
about this strange guy
Copy !req
883. I met 3 weeks ago.
Copy !req
884. No, we're not fucking.
Copy !req
885. Get your mind
out of the gutter, perv.
Copy !req
886. He's not even gay,
I don't think.
Copy !req
887. In fact, his vibe
is kind of weirdly asexual.
Copy !req
888. His name is Brian Lackey.
Copy !req
889. He lives in Little River and,
like yours truly,
Copy !req
890. attends Hutchinson Loser
Community College.
Copy !req
891. So anyways,
the day you left,
Copy !req
892. your mom and I found him
literally on your doorstep,
Copy !req
893. looking for you.
Copy !req
894. He says you and him played
Little League together,
Copy !req
895. like 10 years ago.
Copy !req
896. He was the worst player
on the team,
Copy !req
897. blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah.
Copy !req
898. He's full of questions
about you.
Copy !req
899. But, of course,
I haven't told him much,
Copy !req
900. I.e. About
your "line of work."
Copy !req
901. I did say you were
queer like me,
Copy !req
902. only because I figured
you wouldn't care.
Copy !req
903. But now, are you ready
for the good part?
Copy !req
904. He thinks that when
you and him were little,
Copy !req
905. you were both abducted
and examined by space aliens.
Copy !req
906. How brilliant is that?
Copy !req
907. But he was completely serious
when he told me this.
Copy !req
908. Like you should've seen
the look in his eyes.
Copy !req
909. So, what's the story, dude?
Copy !req
910. Were you abducted by a UFO
or what?
Copy !req
911. P.S., are your crabs
gone yet?
Copy !req
912. Brian?
Copy !req
913. Yeah?
Copy !req
914. You have a visitor.
Copy !req
915. Hi, Brian.
Copy !req
916. I was just in the neighborhood,
and I thought I'd stop by
Copy !req
917. and see
how you're doing.
Copy !req
918. I'll be in the front room
if you need me.
Copy !req
919. Thanks, Mom.
Copy !req
920. Didn't care for that film.
Copy !req
921. That, I didn't see.
Copy !req
922. Your mom doesn't like me
very much.
Copy !req
923. She thinks I'm trying
to steal you away.
Copy !req
924. Any luck in your search
for "N. McCormick"?
Copy !req
925. I met his mom
and his best friend,
Copy !req
926. but he's in New York
right now.
Copy !req
927. New York, really?
Copy !req
928. Here, sit down.
Copy !req
929. Had any more of those dreams?
Copy !req
930. Yeah.
Copy !req
931. But they seem to be
slowly evolving.
Copy !req
932. Maybe it's just because I've
been spending a lot of time
Copy !req
933. with Eric, Neil's friend.
Copy !req
934. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
935. But it's becoming clearer
and clearer that he...
Copy !req
936. Neil, that is, is a key figure
in all this.
Copy !req
937. Like he was there with me
the night it all happened.
Copy !req
938. Uhh! Agh! Ah...
Copy !req
939. - It's okay.
- I can't, I can't.
Copy !req
940. Don't, no.
Copy !req
941. I... I can't.
Copy !req
942. It's okay.
Copy !req
943. No... no, don't.
Copy !req
944. It'll feel good.
Copy !req
945. Don't!
Copy !req
946. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
947. You better go.
Copy !req
948. Please?
Copy !req
949. I'm sorry, Brian.
Copy !req
950. I pay 120...
not a cent more.
Copy !req
951. Okay.
Copy !req
952. Shall we?
Copy !req
953. Fuck me.
Copy !req
954. Fuck me up the ass with
your hot, teenaged cock!
Copy !req
955. Wait!
Copy !req
956. What the fuck
are you doing?
Copy !req
957. Okay, whatever.
Copy !req
958. I'll put it on for you.
Copy !req
959. There.
Copy !req
960. Well, come on, stud,
we're on the clock here.
Copy !req
961. We're not in Kansas anymore, Neil.
Copy !req
962. You have got to be so careful.
Copy !req
963. I know.
Copy !req
964. Don't "I know" me,
Neil McCormick.
Copy !req
965. This is New York City.
Copy !req
966. You do the wrong thing with
the wrong person, and you die.
Copy !req
967. Period... end of story.
Copy !req
968. Just promise me
you'll be safe.
Copy !req
969. Okay.
Copy !req
970. Here.
Copy !req
971. Stop it, you bastard!
Copy !req
972. No... no, no, don't!
Copy !req
973. Are these the only kinds
of movies you watch?
Copy !req
974. Why?
You don't like it?
Copy !req
975. No, it's cool.
Copy !req
976. So, uh, has Neil
gotten back to you yet?
Copy !req
977. Let me explain the Universe
of Neil McCormick.
Copy !req
978. He's like a planet...
Saturn, say.
Copy !req
979. And we're all like
little moons orbiting around.
Copy !req
980. Now, do planets
write letters?
Copy !req
981. But I do know that he'll be
in Hutchinson for Christmas.
Copy !req
982. What?
Copy !req
983. His mom told me that
she sent him a ticket
Copy !req
984. to fly home for
Baby Jesus's Birthday.
Copy !req
985. So I'll introduce you then.
Copy !req
986. Brian?
Copy !req
987. Yeah.
Copy !req
988. Thought you two might
like a little study break.
Copy !req
989. Thanks, Mrs. Lackey.
Copy !req
990. Thanks, Mom.
Copy !req
991. It's 11:30.
Copy !req
992. Hey, if it's Avalyn...
Copy !req
993. tell her I'm not here.
Copy !req
994. Hello?
Copy !req
995. No, I'm sorry, Avalyn,
he's out with his friends.
Copy !req
996. No problem.
Copy !req
997. I thought you
kinda liked her.
Copy !req
998. I just... I don't know.
Copy !req
999. I think I just need a little
space from her right now.
Copy !req
1000. Well, I always thought
she was a freak anyway.
Copy !req
1001. So I'm off to bed.
Copy !req
1002. Good night, boys.
Copy !req
1003. Hello.
Copy !req
1004. Oh, I'm, uh, I'm Zeke.
Copy !req
1005. From L.A.
Copy !req
1006. Neil.
Copy !req
1007. Hmm...
Copy !req
1008. Neil, uh...
Copy !req
1009. So hat are you doing
in New York City?
Copy !req
1010. Oh, that's a...
that's a Vermeer.
Copy !req
1011. Well... it's sort of a Vermeer.
Copy !req
1012. You're exquisite.
Copy !req
1013. I guess it's my turn, huh?
Copy !req
1014. Hope, uh, these don't
frighten you too much.
Copy !req
1015. They, uh...
Copy !req
1016. have a habit of popping up
Copy !req
1017. in the most
inopportune places.
Copy !req
1018. Oh, I know.
Copy !req
1019. Don't be worried.
Copy !req
1020. This is gonna be the safest
encounter you ever had.
Copy !req
1021. If you could
just rub my back.
Copy !req
1022. Really, I need...
to be touched.
Copy !req
1023. Ohh, ho, ho... yes.
Copy !req
1024. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Copy !req
1025. Oh, make me happy.
Copy !req
1026. Make me happy,
make me happy...
Copy !req
1027. Ohh... yes, yes,
yes, yes,
Copy !req
1028. yes, yes, yes,
yes, yes.
Copy !req
1029. Ohh... ohh...
Copy !req
1030. Ohh, make me happy.
Copy !req
1031. Ohh, yes.
Copy !req
1032. You were 100% safe,
right?
Copy !req
1033. Yeah.
Copy !req
1034. I told you,
I just jerked off.
Copy !req
1035. He watched from
across the room.
Copy !req
1036. It's the first time in my life
I'm bothered by it.
Copy !req
1037. Maybe you should
try and find
Copy !req
1038. some other, safer
way to make money.
Copy !req
1039. You know,
like everyone else.
Copy !req
1040. Yeah, maybe.
Copy !req
1041. You're the only one I ever told.
Copy !req
1042. I know.
Copy !req
1043. I never told Eric...
or told my mom.
Copy !req
1044. And some people might
think it's fucked up
Copy !req
1045. or terrible
or whatever, but...
Copy !req
1046. what happened that summer...
is a huge part of me.
Copy !req
1047. No one ever made me feel
that way, before or since.
Copy !req
1048. Like I... I was special,
you know?
Copy !req
1049. Neil...
you were eight years old.
Copy !req
1050. Yeah, but he
really loved me.
Copy !req
1051. I mean, yeah, there were
other kids sometimes, but...
Copy !req
1052. I was... his prize.
Copy !req
1053. I was his one true love.
Copy !req
1054. Happy birthday.
Copy !req
1055. You didn't have
to get me anything.
Copy !req
1056. It's just a little something
I picked out.
Copy !req
1057. Wow.
Copy !req
1058. Cool.
Copy !req
1059. I thought it'd go great
with your hair color.
Copy !req
1060. It's so cool.
Copy !req
1061. Thanks.
Copy !req
1062. Whoa, whoa...
Copy !req
1063. You all right?
Copy !req
1064. I'm drunk.
Copy !req
1065. I've never been drunk
in my life.
Copy !req
1066. I'm corrupting you.
Copy !req
1067. At last.
Copy !req
1068. Hey... that's pretty good.
Copy !req
1069. Yeah, sure.
Copy !req
1070. No, really.
Copy !req
1071. You have definite artistic
talent, my boy.
Copy !req
1072. Hmm...
Copy !req
1073. What?
Copy !req
1074. That's an interesting touch.
Copy !req
1075. So, what's the deep meaning
behind the baseball cleats?
Copy !req
1076. I have no idea.
Copy !req
1077. Boo.
Copy !req
1078. How was work?
Copy !req
1079. Fuckin' boring.
Copy !req
1080. You need a hand?
Copy !req
1081. Sure.
Copy !req
1082. So... I've got news for you.
Copy !req
1083. Uh, hey, me too.
Copy !req
1084. Okay, you first.
Copy !req
1085. Look what my mom
sent me today.
Copy !req
1086. She wants me to come home
for Christmas.
Copy !req
1087. Uhh!
Copy !req
1088. Your mom is the coolest.
Copy !req
1089. Like mine would ever
do that for me.
Copy !req
1090. I know, it's weird.
Copy !req
1091. It's like I hate Hutchinson
more than anything but...
Copy !req
1092. I'm kind of looking forward
to going back...
Copy !req
1093. like, just for a short visit.
Copy !req
1094. Plus, you get to see Eric.
Copy !req
1095. Yeah.
Copy !req
1096. So what's your news?
Copy !req
1097. I think I found you a job.
Copy !req
1098. A what?
Copy !req
1099. I was talking to this friend
at work, Rachel, about you.
Copy !req
1100. And it's only minimum wage at
a stupid sandwich place, but...
Copy !req
1101. What?
Copy !req
1102. You're not into it...
whatever.
Copy !req
1103. It's cool.
Copy !req
1104. No, no, tell me more about it.
Copy !req
1105. Really?
Copy !req
1106. Yeah, really, I wanna
hear more about it.
Copy !req
1107. - You do?
- Yeah!
Copy !req
1108. You sure you're
gonna be okay?
Copy !req
1109. I'm just glad
my mom's working late.
Copy !req
1110. Thanks for everything.
Copy !req
1111. This has been...
the best birthday ever.
Copy !req
1112. You're welcome.
Copy !req
1113. Oh, shit.
Copy !req
1114. Who's that?
Copy !req
1115. It's my Dad.
Copy !req
1116. Dad?
Copy !req
1117. Son... I caught you.
Copy !req
1118. Your Mother said she didn't know
whether you'd be home or not.
Copy !req
1119. Happy Birthday.
Copy !req
1120. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
1121. I'm not allowed to wish
my only son a happy birthday?
Copy !req
1122. Dad, I haven't seen you
for, what, two years?
Copy !req
1123. Well, maybe if you returned
my calls once in a while...
Copy !req
1124. Maybe I don't want to return
your phone calls, Dad.
Copy !req
1125. Maybe I just want you
to leave me alone.
Copy !req
1126. Brian, don't be like this.
Copy !req
1127. I drove all this way, I...
Copy !req
1128. I just wanted to see
how you're doing.
Copy !req
1129. Well, let me tell you
what I want to know.
Copy !req
1130. Something happened to me
when I was little.
Copy !req
1131. Do you know
what I'm talking about?
Copy !req
1132. What happened to me
that night I woke up
Copy !req
1133. bleeding in the cellar?
Copy !req
1134. Where were you that night?
Copy !req
1135. God, I can tell
you don't even remember!
Copy !req
1136. You're drunk!
Copy !req
1137. Quit avoiding the subject!
Copy !req
1138. I was bleeding,
I kept passing out!
Copy !req
1139. I wet my fucking bed,
and you never asked why!
Copy !req
1140. And what about that Halloween
when I blacked out again?
Copy !req
1141. Something happened to me
both those nights!
Copy !req
1142. What do you know about it?
Copy !req
1143. Tell me!
Copy !req
1144. I'm sorry, Brian, I...
Copy !req
1145. I can't help you.
Copy !req
1146. Welcome to Subz,
may I help you?
Copy !req
1147. Brian?
Copy !req
1148. Deborah!
Copy !req
1149. Redecorating?
Copy !req
1150. Sort of, yeah.
Copy !req
1151. So how ya been, Bri?
Copy !req
1152. Good...
how's Berkeley?
Copy !req
1153. Now, hold on, you two.
Copy !req
1154. Why don't we continue
this conversation
Copy !req
1155. in the front room over
the peanut-butter peach pie
Copy !req
1156. I baked for this occasion?
Copy !req
1157. Good to see you,
little brother.
Copy !req
1158. You too.
Copy !req
1159. Need a lift?
Copy !req
1160. Sure.
Copy !req
1161. Where we going?
Copy !req
1162. My place...
don't worry, I'll pay.
Copy !req
1163. It's Christmas Eve tomorrow.
Copy !req
1164. No more talking.
Copy !req
1165. Where are we?
Copy !req
1166. Brighton Beach.
Copy !req
1167. Bedroom's this way.
Copy !req
1168. Do it.
Copy !req
1169. Again.
Copy !req
1170. Strip.
Copy !req
1171. Open wide and suck it,
slut.
Copy !req
1172. What are you
waiting for, slut?
Copy !req
1173. Suck it!
Copy !req
1174. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
1175. You like that,
don't you, slut?
Copy !req
1176. Take it deep.
Copy !req
1177. Yeah.
Copy !req
1178. Moan for me.
Copy !req
1179. Wait, wait.
Copy !req
1180. Get up!
Copy !req
1181. Slut knows
what's coming next.
Copy !req
1182. I'm gonna give the slut
just what he's begging for.
Copy !req
1183. Wait, wait, wait, there's
some things I don't do.
Copy !req
1184. Wait, wait,
I gotta take a piss.
Copy !req
1185. Hold on,
I'll be right back.
Copy !req
1186. Uhh! Agh!
Copy !req
1187. You're getting fucked, slut,
whether you like it or not!
Copy !req
1188. Slut!
Copy !req
1189. Slut! Slut! Slut!
Copy !req
1190. Slut! Slut!
Slut!
Copy !req
1191. God, you love it!
Copy !req
1192. Take that cock
all the way up there.
Copy !req
1193. Take it, slut.
Copy !req
1194. Yeah! Yeah!
Copy !req
1195. Are you ready?
Copy !req
1196. Here it comes.
You ready?
Copy !req
1197. You ready?
Ready?
Copy !req
1198. Aah! Aah!
Copy !req
1199. Aaaah!
Copy !req
1200. Ohh... ohh...
Copy !req
1201. Mom.
Copy !req
1202. Today is the day.
Copy !req
1203. Brian, now where
are you off to?
Copy !req
1204. I'm going out with Eric.
Copy !req
1205. You don't want to stay and talk
with your sister a while?
Copy !req
1206. I'll be back soon.
Copy !req
1207. Well, don't be late,
young man.
Copy !req
1208. Christmas Eve dinner's
at 6:00, sharp.
Copy !req
1209. Okay.
Copy !req
1210. Here we are.
Copy !req
1211. Do I look okay?
Copy !req
1212. Okay's a relative term.
Copy !req
1213. I'm kidding...
you look fine.
Copy !req
1214. Excited?
Copy !req
1215. Yes.
Copy !req
1216. And nervous.
Copy !req
1217. Don't worry, I'm sure you guys
will hit it off great.
Copy !req
1218. I hope you're right.
Copy !req
1219. Ellen?
Copy !req
1220. Oh, hey, Eric.
Copy !req
1221. Hey, Mrs. M...
Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1222. You remember Brian.
Copy !req
1223. Yeah,
of course I do.
Copy !req
1224. - Hey, Brian.
- Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1225. So where's
the man of the hour?
Copy !req
1226. Well, I was gonna call you.
Copy !req
1227. Why?
What happened?
Copy !req
1228. There's, uh,
been an accident.
Copy !req
1229. Neil, he, uh,
he got mugged
Copy !req
1230. on the way to the airport.
Copy !req
1231. Is he okay?
Copy !req
1232. He's gonna be fine.
Copy !req
1233. He's asleep in his room.
Copy !req
1234. Well, maybe we should
come back tomorrow.
Copy !req
1235. Maybe.
Copy !req
1236. Or you stay if you'd like,
have some cookies,
Copy !req
1237. and we'll see if he's...
Copy !req
1238. Oh, honey, you're up.
Copy !req
1239. What the fuck you
staring at, Preston?
Copy !req
1240. Brian says that you both
were in Little League together.
Copy !req
1241. Hmm.
Copy !req
1242. So how long has it been since
you two last saw each other?
Copy !req
1243. Ten years...
Copy !req
1244. five months and...
seven days.
Copy !req
1245. Well, you must have a lot
of catching up to do.
Copy !req
1246. Turn right off Main
by the fairgrounds.
Copy !req
1247. So what the fuck happened?
Copy !req
1248. It's a long story...
I'll tell you later.
Copy !req
1249. Just drive for now.
Copy !req
1250. It's nice to see New York
hasn't hardened you
Copy !req
1251. one bit, McCormick.
Copy !req
1252. So you're the legendary Brian.
Copy !req
1253. We have a lot in common,
don't we?
Copy !req
1254. I think so.
Copy !req
1255. Make a left
at the next stop sign.
Copy !req
1256. This starting to look familiar?
Copy !req
1257. Pick us up in a half hour.
Copy !req
1258. Okay.
Copy !req
1259. You ready?
Copy !req
1260. Blue.
Copy !req
1261. No one's home...
let's go around back.
Copy !req
1262. We have to get in.
Copy !req
1263. I know a way, here.
Copy !req
1264. Voila.
Copy !req
1265. You were the best player
on the team, weren't you?
Copy !req
1266. Yeah, that's what
he always told me.
Copy !req
1267. He-help.
Copy !req
1268. This was his bedroom.
Copy !req
1269. Ah, at least the ceiling's
still the same.
Copy !req
1270. I used to get lost for hours
staring up at all the patterns.
Copy !req
1271. Whirls and speckly,
sparkly things.
Copy !req
1272. Come on.
Copy !req
1273. Oh, man, what's up
with these people?
Copy !req
1274. He used to keep
these things stocked.
Copy !req
1275. Well, this is it, right?
Copy !req
1276. So, why now?
Copy !req
1277. Why... why did you
search me out?
Copy !req
1278. I'm tired of it.
Copy !req
1279. I want to dream about
something else for a change.
Copy !req
1280. "Away in a manger."
Copy !req
1281. You know, it took till
I actually laid eyes
Copy !req
1282. on you today
to remember you.
Copy !req
1283. When Eric
wrote me about you, I...
Copy !req
1284. I could only get the vaguest,
Copy !req
1285. hazy picture in my head.
Copy !req
1286. Like a staticky TV.
Copy !req
1287. Same here.
Copy !req
1288. But seeing you here
in this room...
Copy !req
1289. I feel like he's
watching us right now.
Copy !req
1290. I have no idea
what happened to him.
Copy !req
1291. After that summer,
he just disappeared.
Copy !req
1292. I don't even know
if he's alive or what.
Copy !req
1293. Maybe it's his ghost
that's watching us.
Copy !req
1294. Tell me everything you can.
Copy !req
1295. I was his favorite.
Copy !req
1296. Out of everyone, he picked me.
Copy !req
1297. I know that sounds
kind of weird, but...
Copy !req
1298. when it first started
happening...
Copy !req
1299. I felt honored.
Copy !req
1300. Go on.
Copy !req
1301. I don't know, well,
this is where the big TV was,
Copy !req
1302. all the cool video games.
Copy !req
1303. That's the kitchen.
Copy !req
1304. Our first time happened there.
Copy !req
1305. It lasted that whole summer.
Copy !req
1306. Just me and him.
Copy !req
1307. I saw him one other time.
Copy !req
1308. On Halloween,
a couple years later.
Copy !req
1309. I was lost.
Copy !req
1310. He said my name.
Copy !req
1311. Brian?
Copy !req
1312. Brian?
Copy !req
1313. I thought that was you.
Copy !req
1314. The game had just started.
Copy !req
1315. I was sitting on the bench,
as always.
Copy !req
1316. It started to rain.
Copy !req
1317. Sprinkles at first,
then a downpour.
Copy !req
1318. The ump called the game.
Copy !req
1319. And no one came
to pick you up.
Copy !req
1320. My mom was working
and my Dad...
Copy !req
1321. Who knows?
Copy !req
1322. Everyone else drove off
with their parents.
Copy !req
1323. I was left there all alone.
Copy !req
1324. And you were in the dugout
with me, and you said...
Copy !req
1325. We'll take you home.
Copy !req
1326. And we got into Coach's
station wagon, remember?
Copy !req
1327. He brought us here.
Copy !req
1328. It's all right, Brian.
Copy !req
1329. We're just going to have
a little bit of fun.
Copy !req
1330. And he didn't want you in the bedroom,
Copy !req
1331. because that
was just for us.
Copy !req
1332. So it all happened here,
in this room.
Copy !req
1333. Keep going.
Copy !req
1334. Don't stop until you've
told me everything.
Copy !req
1335. Well, any time there
was another boy involved,
Copy !req
1336. it was always the same.
Copy !req
1337. Coach used me as a prop
to pull you in.
Copy !req
1338. He'd take off my clothes,
and it was up to me
Copy !req
1339. to make it seem like fun,
Copy !req
1340. like this was a really
cool game we were playing.
Copy !req
1341. Go ahead,
show him, Neil.
Copy !req
1342. All right,
here are the rules.
Copy !req
1343. First I kiss you,
then you kiss me back,
Copy !req
1344. and then it's his turn.
Copy !req
1345. Are you ready?
Copy !req
1346. Here we go.
Copy !req
1347. My God.
Copy !req
1348. You want me to stop?
Copy !req
1349. So I put my tongue
in your mouth,
Copy !req
1350. just getting it
all wet and shiny.
Copy !req
1351. And then it was his turn.
Copy !req
1352. Watching his big lips
sucking your face,
Copy !req
1353. I remember thinking,
"Ah, he's going to swallow
Copy !req
1354. his head whole."
Copy !req
1355. So, um...
Copy !req
1356. we took off your clothes...
Copy !req
1357. and you made this...
Copy !req
1358. whimpering puppy sound
Coach always loved.
Copy !req
1359. Coach and me
had this thing...
Copy !req
1360. where he'd
open up his mouth and...
Copy !req
1361. wrap it around
my dick and balls
Copy !req
1362. and everything all at once.
Copy !req
1363. He did that to me and...
Copy !req
1364. then I tried to do it to you,
but I couldn't
Copy !req
1365. 'cause my mouth
was too small.
Copy !req
1366. And then...
Copy !req
1367. he went down on you.
Copy !req
1368. For what seemed like
a really long time.
Copy !req
1369. Your eyes were closed mostly,
but every now and then
Copy !req
1370. they'd flutter open,
and...
Copy !req
1371. just have this glassy,
faraway look.
Copy !req
1372. And then I leaned in
and whispered...
Copy !req
1373. It's fun, right?
Copy !req
1374. Tell him you think it's fun.
Copy !req
1375. We're almost finished, you...
Copy !req
1376. You gonna be able to...
Copy !req
1377. Yeah.
Copy !req
1378. Then we played
the $5 game...
Copy !req
1379. when Coach would ask me
to do things,
Copy !req
1380. crazy sex things, and...
Copy !req
1381. if I could do them,
he'd give me a $5 bill.
Copy !req
1382. It's okay...
go ahead, Neil.
Copy !req
1383. He made us fist him.
Copy !req
1384. You know what that is?
Copy !req
1385. I went first,
of course.
Copy !req
1386. And on that night,
the $5 was mine...
Copy !req
1387. if I could... ram
my little fist up his ass
Copy !req
1388. and wring it all the way
to the elbow.
Copy !req
1389. And God damn it,
I did it.
Copy !req
1390. I'll never forget how it felt.
Copy !req
1391. It felt like his whole body
was trying to suck me into it.
Copy !req
1392. Devour me.
Copy !req
1393. And then I did it too.
Copy !req
1394. And then, uh, we drove
you back to Little River
Copy !req
1395. and left you
in your driveway.
Copy !req
1396. The End.
Copy !req
1397. And my nose was bleeding.
Copy !req
1398. How did that happen?
Copy !req
1399. When it was over, and we
were getting you dressed...
Copy !req
1400. your face looked like
you'd been erased.
Copy !req
1401. Like you were
just empty inside.
Copy !req
1402. And you just fell
face first on the floor... bam.
Copy !req
1403. And when we pulled you up,
your nose was bleeding.
Copy !req
1404. Like... like this?
Copy !req
1405. Like this?
Copy !req
1406. Shh, shh, shh.
Stop, stop, stop.
Copy !req
1407. Stop, stop, stop.
Shh, shh, shh.
Copy !req
1408. Shh...
Copy !req
1409. What are you doing?
Copy !req
1410. Nobody's even home.
Copy !req
1411. No, someone's there.
Copy !req
1412. Shh... shh, shh.
Copy !req
1413. Look, I see them too.
Copy !req
1414. Children, what's going on?
Copy !req
1415. I think that someone's in there.
Copy !req
1416. Shh, shh, shh.
Copy !req
1417. And as we sat there
Copy !req
1418. listening to the carolers,
Copy !req
1419. I wanted to tell Brian
it was over now
Copy !req
1420. and everything would be okay.
Copy !req
1421. But that was a lie.
Copy !req
1422. Plus, I couldn't speak anyway.
Copy !req
1423. I wish there was some way for us
to go back and undo the past.
Copy !req
1424. But there wasn't.
Copy !req
1425. There was nothing
we could do.
Copy !req
1426. So I just stayed silent...
Copy !req
1427. and trying to telepathically
communicate
Copy !req
1428. how sorry I was
about what had happened.
Copy !req
1429. And I thought of
all the grief and sadness
Copy !req
1430. and fucked-up suffering
in the world, and...
Copy !req
1431. it made me want to escape.
Copy !req
1432. I wished with all my heart
that we could just
Copy !req
1433. leave this world behind...
Copy !req
1434. rise like two angels
in the night and magically...
Copy !req
1435. disappear.
Copy !req
