Wasn't very good at it.

I'm surprised you remember me.

I do remember you.

I also remember the way

we treated you back then.

You were shy, and I was a real jerk,

and I'm sorry.

I wanted to say I'm sorry.

What are you talking about?

That was so long ago.

I don't remember what you could've done.

Let's not dredge up all that stuff.

Sherry, go in the house.

However we made you feel,

it was wrong.

I mean, we were wrong.

Go on.

I have a family now.

I haven't been that ugly little girl

in quite some time.

You were never ugly.

Why did you come here?

David, help!

It was just kids.

I know how kids are.

It didn't mean anything.

Listen, I didn't mean to come here...

Winnie, are you all right?

I'm fine, Ben.

Everything's okay.

I'm sorry if I made you feel bad.

I didn't want to hurt you again.

I'm going to go.

Thank you.

Are you sure?

Thanks.

Sh*t!

Help!

Help!

Nelson, stop it!

Nelson, stop, stop!

- Stop it!

- Where's Billy Mahoney? Where is he?

There is no Billy.

It's just the two of us.

We're all alone.

Let it go.

Where the hell have you guys been?

- She freaked. We stayed with her.

- How you doing?

I'm fine.

Fine for somebody who keeps running into

her father who's been dead for 20 years.

Death is beautiful?

What a bunch of crap.

How you doing, Nelson?

You okay?

'Cause I'd like to thank you

for the nightmare.

Hey, you guys were all so eager

to jump on my coattails.

Well, welcome aboard.

You withheld information.

That's lying.

Oh. I'm sorry you're so upset.

You think you're the only one

who risked something?

I always felt there was something

unnatural about this.

- You didn't risk a goddamn thing!

- Screw yourself!

This is not going to help.

We're in this together.

No, we're not.

- Wait.

- Isn't she strong? So independent.

When I get into trouble,

I don't drag everybody down with me.

Drag everybody? Come on!

What happened to you? You got caught

with your videotapes down?

And you swore at a little girl

on a playground. Oh!

And now you're having bad dreams

about your daddy. I'm really sorry.

You don't know anything about me.

You never have.

But Dave does, doesn't he?

Come on, they're your sins!

Live with them.

I do.

Do you want to see death?

Take a good look.

It is beautiful.

You've already hurt yourself.

You want to hurt her, too?

Do you?

Help him find Billy Mahoney.

- How will that help?

- Goddamn it! Just help him find Billy.

Don't leave him alone.

Why do we want to find Billy Mahoney?

Because...

young Dr. Dave thinks he's solved

our karmic problems.

Atonement, gentlemen.

Atonement?

Wait a goddamn minute.

Jesus, you're always

running away from me.

Why don't you talk to me?
