The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations Page #2

know what I'm talking about.

No, I... I...

Yeah. Of course.

I just hadn't thought

about Rebecca in a long time,

that's all.

You want a drink?

It's clean.

So...

What are you doing here?

Lonnie didn't kill my sister.

- And how do you know that?

- Well...

Because I found this diary

when I was helping my parents move.

Rebecca wrote about you a lot, Sam.

About how much she loved you.

Do you remember when

Lonnie tried to convince

the jury during the trial

that, you know, they were...

having a relationship?

- Do you remember?

- Yeah, I remember.

It was true, Sam.

Rebecca was cheating on you.

I know this hurts.

Look. May 18th, 1998.

"Someone has been following me.

"It's definitely not Sam.

"He doesn't know about Lonnie,

but I have to tell him.

"I feel so guilty.

I don't know what to do."

I took this diary to the cops.

They say it's...

it's not sufficient evidence

to reopen the case.

- Well, if that's what they say...

- And then,

I talked to your friend.

Detective Glenn?

Sam...

he told me that you have a way

of knowing things

that nobody else knows?

That... That you can...

see into crime.

Sam, I want to hire you.

I have $5,000 in cash.

Okay?

Here.

- I can't, Elizabeth.

- Why?

- It's complicated. I'm sorry.

- Complicated.

But...

the guy that killed Rebecca got away.

And Lonnie Flennons, an innocent man,

a man she loved,

is going to die.

I wish I could help.

I do. I...

I'm sorry.

Sam...

Okay.

Elizabeth.

You forgot this.

Keep it.

She would have wanted you to have it.

So, um...

Tell me about this dead girl.

Did you love her?

Rebecca Brown,

first girl I ever fell for.

You never thought about

jumping back before?

Thought about it

a hundred times. I just...

But you'd know better.

Sam, this is serious sh*t.

There's two big rules.

You never jump back

to alter your own past.

And you never jump unsupervised.

What if I just go back

and nobody sees me?

If I...

If I do exactly as you

taught me and just observe?

Come on, man.

Let's be honest with ourselves.

Do you really think

that you can go back

and watch your girlfriend get murdered,

- and not intervene?

- I've seen dozens of people

killed right before my eyes,

and I haven't lifted a finger.

Well, this is different, Sam.

You've seen for yourself

what happens if you...

if you break these rules.

Your sister dies in a fire.

You jump back, thinking

you can save her.

And you do.

But what you didn't expect

was that your parents

were gonna die instead.

You try to save one life. You kill two.

How many times you gotta

jump back before you know the rules?

want to do it any more.

Exactly. You know,

you nearly fried your brain.
