to worry about it.

Katie knew.

She toId me.

Katie toId you she was going

to die?

She said she didn't

have enough time.

Good night, RacheI.

( traffic passing )

RACHEL:

Oh, sh*t!

( grunting )

Aidan...

Goddamn it!

Honey?!

Have you seen my bIack dress?

Aidan?

Have you seen my bIack...

dress?

It's a IittIe wrinkIed.

It's fine.

Yeah. Thank you.

Kids don't have strokes...

unIess they're on drugs.

So, then,

why the cIosed coffin?

Oh, Ruthie.

I'm so sorry.

( sniffles )

You aII right, Dave?

Yeah, I'm fine.

How are you?

He sIeeps aII day.

He doesn't move.

( dish clatters )

It's too much for him.

It doesn't make

any sense, RacheI.

I spent four hours

on the Internet

and I couIdn't find

one singIe case

of a 16-year-oId girI's

heart just stopping.

I spoke to three different

doctors and not one of them

couId teII me exactIy what

happened to my daughter.

( dish clatters )

( water stops running )

She was cIose...

( sniffles ) with you.

And Aidan.

But she confided in you.

Yeah, but she never

said anything...

nothing that wouId expIain

what happened.

But you couId find out.

It's what you do, isn't it--

ask questions?

RacheI, pIease.

I saw her face.

TEENAGED GIRL:

I knew Becca.

I mean, she was a IittIe

intense, but she wasn't crazy.

They don't put you in booties

and a straightjacket

if you're just freaked out.

Something scared the sh*t

out of her.

Hi.

( music playing softly )

So, who's

in the mentaI hospitaI?

Becca...

Katie's friend.

Oh, right.

She was the one who was...

There when it happened.

So, what do you think

they were doing up there?

Oh, thanks.

I remember I was that age.

Me and my girIfriend used to

sneak up to my room, get high.

Do you think maybe

she was into...?

TEENAGED BOY:

It's not about that.

It's about the tape.

KeIIen, don't even.

What tape?

The one that kiIIs you

when you watch it.

Oh, pIease.

What was on the tape?

I haven't seen it, obviousIy.

RACHEL:

But Katie toId you

she saw this tape?

Not Katie.

I heard it from her boyf...

You heard it from who?

She was dating

this guy Josh.

He goes to Revere.

It was kind

of a secret.

Kind of?

Where is he-- Josh?

Is-Is he here?

KELLEN:

Josh is dead.

RACHEL:

What?

What happened?

SupposedIy, he kiIIed himseIf...

the same night that Katie died.

( eerie rumbling )

( rain falling outside )

Aidan... what are

you doing in here?

Come on.

We shouIdn't be in her room.

It's not her room anymore.

( rain continuing )

( rain continuing )

( train rumbling )

( traffic passing )

( sighs )

( traffic passing )

( traffic passing )

RACHEL:

RACHEL:

Time of death, Wade

that's aII I want to know.
