Stalker's Prey

Laura?

Laura?

Chloe?

- Are you sure about out here? - Yeah.

It's a big, free country.

Laura?

Kill me now.

Rest in peace.

You weren't supposed to be home until later.

Well, it's a good thing I got out early.

I can only imagine what would've happened

if I had gotten home any later.

- Nothing that already hasn't. - Get inside!

- Mrs. Wilcox... - What?

You left... you left your headlights on.

Go home, Nicholas.

Uh, yeah.

Are you happy?

You've embarrassed me for life again.

Do you have any idea how worried I was?

Still in one piece.

You were supposed to be in this house watching your sister.

Ever since you started dating him...

- Don't, don't! - Your behavior has gone

to hell.

And don't think that they didn't call me from the school

to tell me that you skipped classes again today.

- I had cramps. - You know what, Laura?

I don't want you seeing him anymore.

- What? - You're grounded

for the entire weekend.

Mom, it's my birthday.

You already said I could go out with Bre.

- Is Laura in trouble? - No.

Yes. Go to bed, Chloe.

Laura.

Laura?

Hey, babe. What's up?

Are you there yet?

Well, don't wait too long.

What do you think? She freaked.

Okay. See you soon.

- Hey. - Hey.

- Ready? - Yeah. Let's go.

Okay.

Ooh, hello, gorgeous.

Oh, my God.

I haven't seen him before.

He must be a tourist.

I don't think tourists paint boats.

You should go, talk to him.

- No. - Why not? He's hot.

I don't know. He's old.

Bre, he's not that old.

I'm gonna do it for you.

- No, Laura. Stop. - Hey, sailor-boy!

Laura!

Laura.

Say hi.

- Hello. - Hi.

I'm Bre. Laura...

- She thinks you're hot. - Laura!

Okay.

Well, me and my invisible friend

over there are gonna go now so I can die. I hate you.

You love me.

- Ah! - Ahh!

Parker, God damn it.

Have you been in the sun all day, Bre?

Um, no. I don't think so.

You must always look this hot then.

You did not just say that.

It wasn't great. I've done better.

Where's Nick?

- I thought he was with you. - Mm-mm.

Find Nick.

That'll never not be weird.

What the hell?

Surprise!

- Happy birthday, babe. - Thank you.

Is this where you were all morning?

Guilty. Parker and Bre helped me out.

Whose boat is this?

Don't worry about it.

Thank you, guys.

- You're welcome. - Absolutely.

Happy birthday.

Hey, you look beautiful today.

- Aww. You're the worst. - Yuck.

- Are you guys coming? - No.

You two have fun.

- Bye. - Just you and me now, so...

Mm-mm. Don't even think about it.

Hey, Chloe. You want to see

if your sister's coming out of her cave this morning?

- Laura's not here. - What do you mean?

I saw her leave this morning.

Where'd she go?

Ah.

- Are you okay? - Yeah. It's fine.

It's just a cut.

Hey, nice.

Who's it supposed to be?

- Hey... - I'm just kidding.

Come on. Hurry up. Let's get in the water.

Ahh!

Bre, I know she's with him.

Give me his phone number.

Then put your mother on the phone.

That's what I thought.

Okay. Go.

I'm really gonna miss you next year.

Laura, don't bring it up.

But it's gonna happen either way.

You're going across the country, and I'm not.

- We can make it work. - Come on, Nick.

I'm not delusional. It's high school.

It's not meant to last forever, and I'm okay with that.

- Are you breaking up with me? - No, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm just trying to think realistically.

- You gonna ignore it? - Can you ignore that?

Let me go get it.

- Who is it? - It's my mother.

Are you gonna pick it up?

No.

Laura?

Why don't you call Dad.

Maybe he's heard from her.

I don't want to bother your father.

He's probably busy with Jenny.

- Jessie. - Same difference.

You know, she's gonna call the Coast Guard

if you're not back soon.

Yeah. Well, they'll never be able to find us,

thanks to your brilliant navigating.

I thought being as far away from home as possible

was just where you wanted to be.

Ah, hey, no need to kick me.

What?

What's wrong? Ah!

Nick, you're such a jerk sometimes.

Don't joke about that.

It's probably just a big fish.

Wait, you're serious?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Even if it was a shark, they basically never bite people

unless they think you're a seal or something.

I see it! It's a shark! Oh, my God!

Hey, calm down, okay?

We need to get back to the boat.

Stop, stop.

Let's get back to the boat.

I see it.

Where'd it go?

- Ah! - Laura, Laura, are you okay?

It bit me.

It just grazed you.

We'll get back to the boat.

Can you swim?

Yeah.

Nick!

- Nick! - Keep going.

Nick!

Turn around!

Nick!

Nick!

No!

Grab my hand.

I got you.

It's okay. You're gonna be okay.

Laura!

Laura!

Laura! Oh, I'm her mother.

By the time I got there, he was already gone.

It's gonna be okay.

We're gonna get you to the hospital.

It'll be just fine.

Thank you.

Come on. Mr. Kane,

can I ask you a few questions about what happened today?

Uh, yeah, sure. Let me just...

Let me take this off.

This is Casey Jean Hempel reporting.

I'm here with Bruce Kane, son of Representative Richard Kane.

Tell us, Bruce, how did you come across the girl?

Uh, I mean, I just... I heard her yelling,

and, uh, I was close enough to get there in time.

She's alive today because of you.

How does it feel to be a hero?

A hero?

Oh, hey. Were you here all night?

Mommy was. Mrs. Morgan brought me this morning.

Sorry about Nick.

Did Mom tell you?

It's on every channel.

- Sailor-boy. - I'm sorry. Is this a bad time?

No. Come in.

There he is,

the man of the hour.

Hey, you're up.
