Across the Hall Page #4

As long as he doesn't see me,

they should be all right.

I'm gonna call Julian.

- Terry, just forget

about Julian for once

and listen to me.

Terry.

- June.

- Terry.

- June.

- Sh*t!

F*** me.

- June.

Sh*t, June.

- Hi.

- Hey.

- You all right?.

- Yeah.

- What?.

- I do love him.

- Yeah.

So do l.

- He just---

he can be so sure, you know?.

About everything.

I'm not like that.

I just---

I wanted to make sure

that it was my love

that I was feeling.

You know?.

Not---not just his love.

- It's all right.

- Yeah.

Mmm.

I do love him.

- I know.

- Hotel Riverview.

No.

No, ma'am,

I can assure you,

we haven't had

any gunfire here tonight.

Have a good night.

We're still getting

noise complaints.

Son of a whore!

Riverview.

- Hmm.

- Uh, soup?.

- I want to make him pay for it.

- Holy sh*t.

June?.

June.

She's not moving.

- Don't touch her.

- Let me help her,

all right?.

- Not like this.

Not like this.

No, man.

- You've lost

your f***ing mind, Terry.

June!

Terry!

Does it look

as if I lost my mind?.

I'm gonna let you go now,

all right?.

I'm gonna let you go.

You've got to listen to me.

Listen to me.

You gonna listen?.

- Hello?.

Is everything okay?.

- Answer her.

Answer her.

- Yeah.

Yeah, hold on.

- You tell her

everything's fine.

Wipe that off.

- Is everything okay?.

- Yeah, it's fine.

Everything's fine.

- I thought I heard---

- Everything's fine.

- But---

- Please, we don't need

anything right now.

Everything's---

It's all right.

- Who was it?.

- It was just the maid.

We're f***ed.

- We're not f***ed.

- We are f***ed, Terry.

We're trapped in here, man.

- I got everything planned,

Jules.

I know what I'm doing.

- F***.

You know what you're doing?.

That's bullshit.

See, this is what

you always do.

You see a straight road,

and you walk it crooked.

- I walked straight over here.

- What did you think

was gonna happen, huh?.

How did you think

this was gonna end?.

- You knew I had to come here.

- What did I know?.

- You knew about him.

- Terry---

- Don't.

Don't do that to me, man.

Tell me the truth.

Tell me how long

you've known about him.

- 91 1, what's your emergency?.

- How did it happen?.

- You don't

have to know that, Jules.

It's better if you don't.

She tried to tell me

it wasn't him, but...

I found them here together.

- So, what, then you just---

you shot her?.

- No.

I don't know, man, she was---

It was fast, you know?.

She was here

and then, uh...

it just happened,

you know?.

That's why

I needed your help.

- I can't, man.

Terry, I can't.

I can't do this, man.

Look at this, like,

look at this place.

Even if---

They'll find her.

They'll know.

- Yeah, who do you think

they're gonna suspect, huh?.

- Him?.

- Think about it.

He was here with her all night.

- Yeah.

- Must've been

all over this place.

And they---

and they...

must've slept together, right?.

- I don't know, Terry.

I mean, I guess so.

- So they'll know it was him.

- I can't, man.

I cannot frame

an innocent man.

- Wait, innocent?.

You tell me

how he's innocent.

- Okay, I didn't mean---

- You know what?.

He's the one

who did this, Jules.

He's the reason she's dead.

- Okay, Terry, Terry, I know,

all right?.

But you can't---

- Look, I need you

for this, man.

- What are you doing?.

- I need you to help

make him pay for it.

- Terry, come on, man,

what are you doing?.

- We're in this

together now, man.

- What do you want

me to do, Terry?.

- What you came here for, Jules.

- You want me to kill him?.

- You know everything

he took from me, man.

He's the only one

who can prove anything, right?.

It's the only way,

believe me.

- I believe you, Terry.

- We could walk

out of here, Jules.

We can make it look

like it was him all along.

Come on, man,

pull the trigger.

Pull the trigger.

Pull the trigger.

- Terry, I can't do this.

Hold the f***ing gun

against his head,

and you pull

the f***ing trigger.

- Terry, I can't f***ing---

- Get it over with, man.

Do it for me.

Pull the trigger.

Julian.

- Terry, I'm not gonna

f***ing kill the guy.

- Come on, Julian.

- This is not my fault.

- Get it over with,

Julian.

- I'm not gonna kill

this guy, Terry.

You f***ing

did this, Terry.

You killed her.

And nothing

that we do to him

is gonna

bring her back.

- I know, man.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Never should have called.

Never should have---

Never should have

called you down here.

Never should have

let you see me like this.

I just wanted

to get her back...

wanted things

like they were.

- Yeah, Terry, so did l.

So did l.

- Sh*t, man.

- Listen, man.

We're gonna, uh...

We're gonna

figure this out, man.

What if this

was an accident?.

You know, that's what

we could tell them.

That you came here,

and you didn't mean to do it.

You found her here.

You just

lost your head.

Made a big mistake.

- What do I say about you?.

- What about me?.

- I mean...

don't we have to get

our stories straight?.

Right?.

When they find out

you were here---

- Terry. Terry. Terry.

They cannot know

that I was here.

I think it's better

for both of us

if they knew

that this was an accident.

- Yeah.

Yep.

I'll tell them, man.

I'll tell them.

I'll tell them

it was me.

I'll tell them

I stole your gun,

I came down here

on my own, l---

He never got

a look at you.

- No, he didn't, that's right.

Hey.

Hey.

Are you sure about this?.

- I'm the only reason you're

even a part of this, man.

The least I can do, right?.

- Terry, what are

you doing, man?.

Terry,

what are you doing?.

- Look at you, man.

We've got to clean you up.

- Sh*t.

- Clean up the room.

- Yeah.

- Make sure they don't...

find fingerprints on anything.

There's a room,

a-a janitor's closet.

It's down the hall.

- Terry.

Come on, man, l---

I can't let

anybody see me, you know?.

For this to work.

- Right.

- Hey, Terry?.

Terry.

- I know, man.

I know.

- Terry.

- June.

June.

June.

Sh*t.

June.

Jules, it's me.

I've been trying

I couldn't

find you at home.

You got me worried.

Listen, man,

I know you've been

having a bad night, and...

whatever it is,

we can work it out.

I just don't want you

to end up hurting somebody.

- Terry?.

F***.

- Come on, Julian.

- Oh, my God.

- I got everything planned,
