Terry McGinnis:  Charlie was 18 , and I was _ 14 _ . My folks were breaking up and he and I were ... being angry kids . Busting windows , shoplifting ... and one day Charlie decided to prove himself to this big gang and he ... dragged me along on a heist . I did n't even know what we were doing when he climbed in the window .
Max Gibson: But you went in , too .
Terry McGinnis: Never said I was bright . Next thing I knew , the cops were shouting " Freeze " and I was doing 90 days in juvie . That was a slap on the wrist next to Charlie . He was in prison for 3 years .
Max Gibson: And that 's why you 've been running around with guilt ever since he rolled into town . You do n't owe him anything .
Terry McGinnis: He 's my friend , Max , and he 's gon na die if I do n't do something .
Max Gibson: You ca n't bring him to his senses . He has to do that himself .
Terry McGinnis: Maybe I can at least keep him alive until he does .
