WILL
How many times do I have to say it? Yes, I see the picture. It's a body, obviously. It's a dead body.

ASHELEY
You have to understand, I love my brother. I'm scared of him too, but . . . regardless of what he has or hasn't done, I feel for him, you know.

WILL
I don't care what happens to me, really, I don't. But Asheley . . . she had nothing to do with any of this.

ASHELEY
It's not like it sounds. He had a good heart. He trusted me. And I always did the best I could to help him.

WILL
It's not her fault. None of it. Okay then. The guy in the photo. I killed him . . . but I had to. I had no choice. Why? That's complicated. That'll take a while.
