INT. KITCHEN - NIGHT

Mumbling to himself, Caesar walks out of the kitchen, heading

for the bedroom.

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

Violet reaches out and touches the wall, as if she were

touching Corky.

VIOLET:

Corky, I have to tell you something

...

INT. EMPTY APARTMENT - NIGHT

Corky turns to the wall.

CORKY:

I know, Violet. I know.

Her fingers gently touch the wall as we travel up and over,

where we see they are actually touching the wall in the exact

same place.

CORKY:

It's why I'm still here.

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

Suddenly, Violet hears Caesar.

CAESAR (V.O.)

Violet?

As he opens the door, she slams down the phone.

INT. EMPTY APARTMENT - NIGHT

The line cuts off.

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

Fear and panic paralyze Violet as Caesar drops everything,

grabbing for his gun.

CAESAR:

Who was that?

He levels the gun at her.

CAESAR:

Who the f*** was that?

She stands and be rushes at her, grabbing her by the throat.

CAESAR:

Was that Mickey? Did you call Mickey?

Did you?!

She shakes her head and he throws her on the bed. The gun

aimed at her, he picks up the phone and --

Hits the redial.

INT. EMPTY APARTMENT - NIGHT

Unsure of what happened, Corky hears the phone ring and

answers it on reflex.

Listening, she waits.

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

Caesar listens, waiting as long as he can.

CAESAR:

Mickey? Is that you?

INT. EMPTY APARTMENT - NIGHT

Corky hangs up, jumping away from the wall.

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

Caesar hits the redial again.

INT. EMPTY APARTMENT - NIGHT

Panicking, Corkydoesn't answer it, but as it rings very loud

in the empty apartment, she realizes her mistake.

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

Turning slowly toward the wall, Caesar hears the phone ringing

in the empty apartment.

INT. EMPTY APARTMENT - NIGHT

Corky rips the plug out of the wall.

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

The line goes dead.

CAESAR:

Who is that? Who is over there?!

Tell me!

She tries to get away, but he grabs her and slaps her to the

ground.

INT. EMPTY APARTMENT

Corky hears Violet scream and that does it. Gun in hand,

she flies at the door.

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

The door to the empty apartment slams shut and Caesar, hearing

it, starts to run --

But Violet reaches out, catching his ankle, sending him

crashing to the dresser.

VIOLET:

Run! Just run!

INT HALL - NIGHT

The door to Caesar's apartment is locked. Corky falls to

one knee, whipping two lock picks from her earlobe.

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

Caesar raises the gun to pistol-whip Violet and she screams.

INT. HALL - NIGHT

Working the lock, Corky hears Violet's scream cut off.

She feels the tumblers click, and rotates the cylinder.

A shadow stirs under the crack of the door as she hears

something that sounds like footsteps. Corky freezes.

Corky presses down low against the door beneath the peephole.

She can almost feel Caesar beyond the door, but grits her

teeth and turns the doorknob.

INT. APARTMENT - NIGHT

The door cracks open and Corky slips in, gun-first. As she

moves into the room, we see Caesar behind her.

He puts his gun to her head.

CAESAR:

Drop the f***ing gun or die!

Corky hesitates.

CAESAR:

Drop it!

She does.

CAESAR:

Turn around.

Rising from her crouch, she turns and he recognizes her.

CAESAR:

You!? Holy f***ing Christ! You

gotta be kidding me!

He starts to laugh when she strikes --

Knocking the gun, she punches him, slamming him back against

the door as --

She twists, diving, grabbing her gun, just as --

He steps and kicks her full in the face.

INT. CLOSET - NIGHT

Still unconscious, Corky's head jerks, reacting to the kick.

We see the dried blood caked to her check where his kick

split the skin. She is again swimming toward consciousness.

We hear water splash, her face flinching as we move closer,

the sounds and voices echoing.

CESAR (V.O.)

Wake up! Come on, you f***ing dyke!

We hear Caesar slapping her.

CAESAR (V.O.)

Wake up!

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

Corky's face is dripping with water as her eyes slowly blink

open.

Coming into focus is Caesar, standing over her with an empty

glass in one hand.

CAESAR:

Good.

Except for the gag, she is bound as we have seen her bound

in the closet.

Caesar yanks out his gun and puts it to her head.

CAESAR:

I know everything now so I don't

want to hear any "I don't know"

bullshit, you understand?
