Cruel Summer Page #4

Synopsis: Danny (Richard Pawulski), a teenager with autism, escapes the inner city for the beautiful countryside as part of his Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme. Little does he know, that bitter Nicholas (Danny Miller) is hunting him, stemming from a lie created by the enamoured and envious Julia (Natalie Martins) and Calvin (Reece Douglas). As the three close in on Danny, Nicholas' behaviour becomes increasingly erratic and violent, and Julia and Calvin must decide whether to go through with Nicholas' deadly plan.

People have been telling

me that you f***ed her.

(Danny chuckles)

What're you f***ing laughing at?

- I wouldn't do that,

Lisa's my friend.

- Yeah, so you keep saying.

What kind of a friend, though?

Ah, where are you going?

I ain't finished talking

to you yet.

- Yeah what,

you got some big plans

we're interrupting or something?

- Yeah, Lisa coming over

tonight, is she?

- No.

- No.

But I bet you'd like it

if she did, wouldn't ya?

Eh?

- [Danny] It's a common cobra.

- Really?

- The wedged hole there

provides excellent protection

in high cross-winds.

The aluminum poles are

incredibly resilient

to harsh conditions.

Do you have one?

- The f*** do I want one of

these for?

I'm a city boy.

- Do you fish?

- [Calvin] Old people fish,

mate.

- Not always.

- Danny, stop f***ing about over

there.

Come here a minute, I want to

talk to you.

You're into your, um, your

clubs and that, aren't ya?

You know, boy scouts or

whatever.

- No, boys brigade.

- Yeah aren't you always

hanging around

with kids half your age?

- Yeah, f***ing hell, what is

that about?

It's time you started

hanging around

with people your own age, son.

I'll tell you what, you can

be in our club if you want.

- I don't know.

- [Julia] Oh yeah, come

on, it'll be a laugh!

- Yeah.

All you gotta do is

pass the initiation.

- Okay.

- Oh, that was easy.

But it comes in three parts.

The first part is nice and easy.

Gotta down that in one.

- I don't know, my parents would

be mad.

- [Nick] Oh f*** off, Dan,

your parents aren't gonna

find out all the way out here,

are they?

Main part of our code,

init, Cal?

- What?

- [Nick] You know, we don't

grass on people, do we?

- Nah, never.

- Go on, show us you're

a man, down it in one.

Oi, don't waste it, I said down

it in one!

That's it.

That's it, go on.

Go on.

Go on!

Go on.

That's it.

Good lad.

All the way, all the way,

all the way.

There we go, see?

Not so bad, was it?

- No.

No.

- Now, what's next?

Cal?

- What?

- What's next?

- I don't know.

- F***ing hell, are you

getting involved or what?

- He has to strip.

- Yeah, good idea.

Did you hear that, Dan?

You've gotta strip.

- No.

I don't want to.

- What do you mean you don't

want to?

You want to be in our club,

don't you?

We all had to do it, didn't we,

didn't we?

- Yeah, no, no, yeah.

- Sorry do you think you have

some sort of a choice in this?

(slap)

(Danny groans)

You shag my girlfriend, you

sure as hell can get naked.

Now get naked!

- Nick--

- [Nick] F*** off, now do it.

Good lad.

(chuckles)

Come on!

(chuckles)

And the rest.

- Please, no.

- Listen.

I'm gonna give you three

seconds,

then you're gonna

get slapped again.

Three.

- [Calvin] Nick, this

is going too far, man.

- Told you he was a p*ssy,

didn't I?

- But he might have a point,

Nicholas, look at him.

- Not you as well.

Hey, looks like you got

a f***ing fan club here.

I tell you what, dry your

f***ing eyes, you lard ass.

We'll skip to the last part.

- What last part?

- He's gotta take our

Julia here,

in your little tent

and f*** her.

- You what?

- Yeah, you heard.

- F*** off.

I'm not f***ing a spastic,

are you off your head?

- Well, you don't usually

mind who you shag,

as long as they've got a

f***ing pulse.

- Yeah, f*** you, Nick.

- Now Nick, just chill out.

- [Nick] Are you on this

retard's side now as well, eh?

- I was just saying.

- Just, you're just saying.

Just saying, what are ya saying?

F*** all, that's what.

Now, where was I?

Oh, yeah.

You've gotta take Julia here

into your tent and f*** her.

- [Danny] Uh, no.

- If you can shag Lisa,

you can sure as hell shag Julia,

yeah?

Yeah?

- Please, please.

(Nick laughs)

- You lot, I'm only joking!

F***ing hell, here,

you f***ing lard arse,

take your clothes and go and

get changed, go on, f*** off.

Pair of pussies.

Come on.

(dark atmospheric music)

Gotta have the right

tools to do the job, bro.

- What?

- The job, ending that

little pedo over there.

- [Calvin] No, he ain't no

pedophile.

- You what?

You actually defending

this little mong again?

- No, I just don't think

he did what you said.

- You what?

- All that sh*t about Lisa.

Is that the real reason

we're here?

You think that kid, that kid

f***ed her?

- Look, we're not lying, Cal.

He might seem harmless

to you, but he ain't.

That's how he gets away with it!

- You've been in this from

the beginning, Calvin.

We need ya.

- What the f*** do you need

me for?

- Man up!

Imagine what would happen

to your little sister

if people like us weren't

around--

- Don't bring my sister into

this--

- Yeah, you're getting mad,

are ya?

Yeah, get mad.

You're so convinced

he's innocent,

why didn't you stop me smacking

him, eh?

- F*** this.

- Where do you think

you're going?

- You're f***ing mad,

that kid's done f***-all!

- Yeah, well good luck

finding your own way back,

you f***ing prick.

What, do you want to go

after him, do ya, eh?

- No, of course I don't.

- So are you with me?

- Yeah, of course I am.

- Right, give me that.

Here, here.

(grunts)

(Danny screams)

Come on!

- Please.

Please.

Please.

(Nick grunts)

(thunder rumbles)

- Grab him.

(faint heartbeat)

(high-pitched tone)

Sorry about that, Danny mate.

You okay?

(dark atmospheric music)

Think you've learned your

listen now, haven't ya?

- Yes.

Can I go home now?

- Yeah.

Go on, then.

Let's get you home.

(Danny groans)

You alright?

You got it?

That's a nasty look, that.

(thud)

(Danny groans)

(thuds)

(grunts)

(thuds)

(grunts)

Get up.

I know you f***ed her and

that's all that matters.

Go and stick that in him.

(tense atmospheric music)

Julia, you started this

whole thing,

you're gonna have to finish it.

What are you doing?

- I'm thinking.

- You're thinking,

thinking about what?

- Look, it's different

when he's just lying there!

- Just do it.

F***ing do it!

Go on.

(Danny groans)

(distant groans)

(distant screams)

(Danny screams)

Yes, yes!

(Danny grunts and moans)

(dark atmospheric music)

Time to put you out of your

misery, Danny.

- No.

- It won't hurt a bit.

- What the f*** have you done?

- Calvin.

Nice of you to finally join us,

mate.

Come here, I won't hurt ya.

Now finish him.

Go on.

Think of your little sister.

- F*** off.

- Hm?

Her little hands on his

big cock.

- F*** off, he's had enough!

Enough!

- Listen, if we don't

f***ing finish him now,

he's gonna grass us all up!

- I didn't touch him.

- You didn't touch him.

Listen to me, you're as big a

part of this as we are, mate!

- I am not a murderer

and he is not a pedo.

This has got way out of hand!

- Yeah, well f*** you!

Just 'cause I got a bit of balls

to do something about it, eh?

- Yeah.

- Nick, shut up.

- Killing an innocent kid's

really needed, ain't it?

- Innocent?

Innocent!

- Yeah.

He f***ed your ex and you can't

handle it!

- Yeah?

(thud)

(grunts)

- Get off him, Nick!
