"Querdia, you might want to talk to this freshman. He's the one that's been shooting his mouth off about Logan's mom."
"Hope you don't mind telling that story one more time."
"You paged." Logan says as he comes into the classroom.
"Seems Hart here has something to show us. Spill." she tells him.
Logan listens to the kid talk about his movie.
"Don't care. Point." she snarls.
"We were editing and noticed something." he says as he starts the tape.
"Did you see it?"
"Rewind, play it frame by frame."
"Thee check right side of the bridge."
"Holy..." Eli breaths. They all see something fall into the water.
"The video is time stamped at exactly 4:37pm, the time that..."
"This footage better never see the light of day."
"Don't worry, baby. He knows if that happens his last movie will be a snuff film and he'll star in it."
