Cruel Will Page #5

need to be alone with my wife.

Yes. I was... I was just leaving.

He's been comforting me, Paul.

Where have you been?

Out!

That's apparent.

So, uh, everything's going to be

all ready for tomorrow, then?

Sure, yeah.

It'll be a relief to finish it.

All right.

Is everything gonna be all right?

Yeah, thank you.

All right.

Why was he here?

I know he's trying

to move in on you.

Where have you been

going off to lately?

Some of the most

unbelievable things

have been happening to

me in the last few days,

and I needed someone

to talk to about it.

Was it worth losing

your job, Paul?

Fredrick called.

He left a message

saying that you're fired.

Hello?

Where are you?

Are you in there, Paul?

The man I love?

The man I sacrificed

The love of my father for?

Ugh!

You know it's true.

I don't have a lot of

sympathy to spare right now.

You haven't given me

any reason to.

It's like...

you've completely lost

all connection to our world.

You've been acting like a raving lunatic!

Like a...

I don't know.

Lying to me, and now this?

Oh, God!

Oh, I must have some gift

for patience.

It has been so hard

to deal with you and my loss

the last couple of days.

I just wanted to

let you know that.

Paul.

My little job on the weekends is

not gonna keep these lights on.

You have to do

something about this.

Get on the phone

and call Fredrick. Now.

You remember that dream I would

always talk about?

The one where...

the one where I was hearing

voices and seeing things?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Well...

It...

It wasn't a dream.

It's actually...

It's actually been happening.

I have been hearing

and seeing

horrible things ever

since that urn got here.

Things like what, Paul?

Adrian.

What did you say?

I know what you're trying to do!

He never liked me

after I saw what he was.

Can't you see?

He's trying to tear us apart!

Paul, please!

It's true.

He's just like he was before

we got married. You remember?

Oh, yes, Paul, but he's gone now.

He's dead and gone!

Why did you protect him

all these years? Why?

What are you talking about?

All these years

of being the b...

being the...

being the battered daughter like you were.

Beating you like he

probably beat his wife!

You don't know

what you're saying.

Don't give me that! I know how

messed up he was!

He probably touched you too,

didn't he?

My father never touched me!

Just because stuff happened

to you in those group homes

doesn't make everybody's

father like that!

What did they do to you?

I'm sorry.

Why did I even bother?

It was always my fantasy

that I would save you,

Take you away from all that.

I wish I knew

how content you were

with your father

having his way with you!

Paul, take it down a notch, man.

Lily, get over here!

Cool it, bud.

Let's face it:

You've been kind of

an oddball lately.

That's not winning you

any popularity contests!

Get the hell out of my house!

This has nothing to do with you!

The hell it does! I don't want

to see you guys fighting.

You've totally flipped.

What is going on?

Lily, are you all right?

No, not really.

Who's this?

Lily, hand it over.

No! You're crazy!

Back off!

Stop it!

Get off him now!

Relax now.

Don't move, all right?

Come on! You're making everybody

frightened! Now, just relax.

Stop it!

Do something!

Come on, mate.

Get off him, please!

Stop!

F***ing calm down, all right?

You're scaring everybody!

Aah!

Stop!

Why is this happening?

You're supposed to love me!

What are you gonna do?

I have to get rid of it.

Get rid of him?

That's all I have left of him!

How could you do this to me?

I have to do it.

What's wrong with you?

You killed this guy!

You got what you wanted.

It's all over.

Lily hates me now.

I should've kept hiding it.

Laugh it up.

Good job ruining our lives.

Shut... up!

Go around.

That's right.

Go! Go!

No!

You want me to

not call the police?

Wow, he must've really

did a number on you.

No, don't, please!

You don't have to do that!

Yes, I do!

He seems psycho to me.

Am I wrong?

Lily?

Stephan?

Oh, dude, dude, don't get up.

No, I'll be all right.

No!

No, Blake's right.

I'm sure you have a concussion.

Don't move.

I just need a little bit of ice.

Oh, god.

And a bandage.

And you let him take it?

What did you expect me to do?

Fight him for it?

Yeah, I expect you to fight.

Yo bite, you tear,

you beat the living daylights

out of anybody who dares!

I don't care who they are! If they

mean harm to family, living or not...

Eloise...

it's over for them!

Sit down, please.

Lilian,

I know he's your husband,

But the simple matter of the fact is,

he's not anymore...

Not if he's done what

you've told me he's done.

What did the police say?

Uh,

she didn't want to call the police.

Lilian, this nut job

has my brother.

It's a crime.

It's a crime to stand

idly by and do nothing!

My God, who did you marry?

Sorry!

What did you expect me to do.

I couldn't think.

But I can't just

sic the police on Paul.

I have to somehow believe

that this is salvageable,

That somewhere Paul knows

how wrong he is.

Yeah,

'cause that's the first thing psychos do.

Y-you are in shock.

You're in denial, dear.

My God.

Does he hit you?

That's what I thought.

No.

But I have to admit,

I don't recognize this Paul.

I'm sorry, Lilian,

but I'm gonna have to call the police.

No! Paul is out there somewhere,

and I'm worried.

I am worried that he is

in some sort of trouble.

Just do this for me.

This is all I have to hold onto.

There's no hope!

There's just no hope!

Lily...

just make the right decision.

I love you.

Good night.

What are you doing?

Being a human being, Gina.

Simon, don't!

What if it's an elaborate

plan by some hillbillies

to kill us and take our car?

Oh, my God, you're right.

That'd be some plan.

Hey, hillbillies,

you out there behind those bushes?

No? Maybe

behind the mountains

15 miles away?

No, I think we're good, Gina.

Hey, man.

You all right?

Hey.

You okay?

Wake up.

You all right?

Lily?

What are you doing

all the way out here?

Um, my car...

My car got away from me.

Simon, he has a weapon!

- What are you talking about? Whoa!

- Whoa, whoa!

Take it easy, man.

Come on.

What are you doing?

You trying to leave Without me?

Hey, I got money.

Here.

Here, you can take it all.

Please.

Can I just get

a ride back into town?

What's the iron for?

What?

Oh.

Protection, that's all.

Okay.

It's gonna be all right, man.

Come on. It's gonna be okay.

I'll give you a ride.

Thank you.

Here.

Take your wallet.

Hop in the car.

We're gonna give him

a lift, okay?

I can't believe you are

endangering our lives like this!

I can't believe you were

gonna leave without me.

I was scared!

Whatever.

Hey, how do you open this thing?

Just pop the handle

on the little door.

Here, I'll move the stuff for you, man.

Gina, move over.

Get in the passenger seat.

You've got to be kidding me!

Paul,

you want to help me look under the hood?
