Since the stranger has a badge and is wearing a suit, the children assume that he is a police officer. The stranger orders Dave to enter his car, and Dave obeys, but this leads to him being sexually abused and locked inside a basement for four days, after which he manages to escape. Twenty-eight years later, the boys are grown and still live in Boston, but they are no longer close friends. Jimmy (Sean Penn) is a former convict running a neighborhood store, while Dave (Tim Robbins) is a blue-collar worker. The two are still neighbors and related by marriage. Sean (Kevin Bacon) has become a detective with the Massachusetts State Police, but several months ago his wife ran away from home for another man. Jimmy's 19-year-old daughter Katie (Emmy Rossum) is secretly dating a boy named Brendan and intends to run away with him to Las Vegas. One night Dave notices Katie dancing at a local bar, but later that night Katie is murdered, and for unknown reasons, Dave comes home with an injured hand and blood on his clothes, which his wife Celeste (Marcia Gay Harden) helps him clean. Dave claims that he fought against a mugger and killed him. Sean discovers that the pistol used to kill Katie had been used in a liquor store robbery in the 1980s by "Just Ray" Harris, the father of Katie's boyfriend Brendan. Harris, though missing, supposedly mails his family $500 every month. Meanwhile, Celeste loses her trust for Dave and tells Jimmy about Dave's bloody clothing. Jimmy and his associates persuade Dave to become drunk at a local bar near Mystic River. As they leave, Jimmy confesses that he had murdered Just Ray and dumped his body at that exact location, and that he will do the same to Dave unless Dave confesses to Katie's murder. Dave repeatedly insists that the person he murdered was a male child molester. When Jimmy doesn't believe him, Dave falsely confesses to Katie's murder, thinking that he can escape with his life. However, Jimmy kills him anyway and dumps his body. Meanwhile, Brendan confronts his younger brother Silent Ray and his brother's friend, John O'Shea, beating them up and threatening to kill them unless they admit their guilt. John O'Shea takes the gun and is about to shoot Brendan, but Sean arrives in time to stop him. The next morning, Sean tells Jimmy that the murderers are in custody and have confessed. Silent Ray and John O'Shea stole Just Ray's pistol and attempted to threaten a random car, but they accidentally fired the pistol, causing Katie to be wounded. To cover up their crime, they chased her into the park, after which Silent Ray beat her with a hockey stick and John O'Shea shot her a second time. Sean asks Jimmy whether he has seen Dave, since the police discovered the body of a known child molester and view Dave as a suspect. Jimmy realizes that murdering Dave was a mistake, but his wife disagrees with his remorse, saying that Jimmy did it with the right intention. Shortly after, Sean's wife and newborn daughter return to him. A few days later, at a parade, Sean sees Jimmy and mimics shooting him, ending the film. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mystic River (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
