Down’s Revenge

High school student Leo likes to bully David, who has Down’s Syndrome.  Kim stops him and then invites David to join her friends for a night of bowling. Apparently there’s only one bowling alley in town because Leo and his friends are there.  Shortly after this David’s grandmother dies and David is left on his own. The only person keeping an eye out for him is his neighbor Sara, who has a crush on him. 

Although David has never done anything bad to anyone, Leo says they can’t let him get away with it because he’s screwing everything up. So they kidnap him and throw him in the trunk of a stolen car.  Kim sees the kidnapping and gives chase on her bicycle. Surprisingly she makes good time and catches them on a dirt road near a canal. They’re soaking wet and there is no sign of David. Leo says he’ll murder her and her family is she ever tells anyone she saw them kidnap him.  

Three years later, Leo is the president of a business he inherited after his father died. He’s lost touch with his friends, but runs into Chang who is working at a convenience store.  An incident results in Kim, a detective who just got an assignment in town, being dispatched to investigate. She hasn’t said anything about the kidnapping, but tells Chang she intends to investigate and gather evidence.  Change calls Leo who says there was no evidence three years ago and there’s no evidence now. He’s forgotten there is literally a car in the canal with David’s body in it.  Lucky for them Kim isn’t that good a detective and can’t put it together.

Later when David’s ghost starts harassing Leo, he decides to get rid of the car and body.  So he blows up the car.  Oh poor, sweet, deluded, idiot Leo. He has no idea how ghosts work.

Before David is a ghost is a total bummer, and then after he’s dead, it’s confusing how Kim was able to make detective in less than three years.

Ridiculous dialogue

I blew up the car last night. No body, no ghost.
