Don't Knock Twice Page #3

and driven to suicide.

Chloe helped spread that lie

and now Mary wants revenge.

Jess, so far your love

for Chloe has protected her.

-It's my fault.

-No, it's not. Don't say that.

-Hi.

-Hey! Stay away from her!

I don't want you near my baby.

-Okay. Okay.

Tira, how do I stop this?

- Jess, there is only one way

to save your daughter.

- How?

- By clearing Mary's name.

If she didn't take that boy,

then find out who did.

And if you listen hard enough,

perhaps she will guide you.

-What do you think?

Chloe?

Chloe!

That missing boy Michael..

Were there ever any other

suspects besides Mary?

- Not as I recall.

Chances are he just ran away.

- But Chloe said that

you believed her

about Mary taking Michael,

what changed your mind?

- I didn't say

I changed my mind.

We closed the case, that's all.

Jess.

- And if you listen hard enough

perhaps she will guide you.

- "Michael flowers."

- That Michael flowers,

he's not the first, is he?

What about her?

Or her? Or him?

Tell me!

What do you think

will happen to you

when people find out

what you did?

I will make sure

that everybody does.

- We're here to discuss

what happens next.

-What do you mean?

- Chloe was very upset

when detective boardman

returned her to us this morning.

He's raised

some serious concerns

about your relationship

with her.

-Just trying to protect her.

She needs me.

- She spent last night

alone on the streets.

She believes that

witches are conspiring

to feed her to a demon.

How exactly is exposing her

to this kind of nonsense

protecting her?

- Have you asked Chloe

what she wants?

-Jess, are you using again?

- No. -Then would it be alright

with you to provide a sample?

-Sure. You got a cup?

- You're showing

some aggression.

-Oh, you have no idea.

No f***ing idea.

I am just trying to protect her,

okay?

She's my daughter. She's mine.

Goddamnit!

- There will have to be

a full review

but it's only fair to warn you

that in light of what's happened

it is very likely your contact

with Chloe will be restricted.

She's a traumatized,

vulnerable young woman

who needs a stable environment.

Perhaps you should

consider counseling

for your own issues before

reapplying for custody.

- Michael flowers.

- Sorry?

- Is this detective boardman?

- What?

-Is this detective boardman?

- Yes. He's volunteered

here for years.

The kids love him.

- But 99% of the time

when something bad

does happen to a child.

- Jess, we're not finished.

- It's down to someone

they know.

-Chloe. Come on.

Sh*t.

- This way.

- Jess, I don't think

i can help her.

- Please, tira,

we don't have anyone else.

- Okay. I'll see

what I can do.

- Okay.

- Meet me back in the park.

I don't live far from there.

Thanks for coming back for me.

-Chloe!

Chloe! Chloe!

Sh*t.

Chloe?

Chloe, is that you?

- Yeah, I've got her,

she's down here.

- No, I need more time.

I need more time.

You didn't give me enough time.

I can bring you what you need.

I just need more time.

- You are trespassing.

- Come with us.

- I don't know what to do!

- Come outside. Don't resist.

-Wait. Ow, ow, ow, wait.

- Just stay with her.

I'll be back.

- You're expecting someone else?

This little reformed character

act you've got going

it's paper thin, isn't it?

Scratch the surface

and you're still

the same selfish piece of sh*t

that abandoned your kid

as soon as she got

in the way of your career.

-You don't know me.

-No. You don't understand.

You f***ed up that poor

little girl's life once.

And I am not gonna let you

f*** it up again.

Now, where did you take Chloe?

What did you do with her?

Where is she?

- She took her.

- Who?

-Mary aminov.

Ginger.

- What?

- I thought I could protect her.

But once you knock,

she doesn't stop.

She just keeps coming.

-Oh, enough!

Tell me the truth.

-You didn't tell me the truth.

You said that the kids

hounded that woman.

But it was you.

You blamed her for the killings.

You kept at her until

she couldn't take it any more.

-She killed herself.

She got what she deserved.

-Did she? Did she really?

It's usually down

to someone they know.

That's what you told me.

- So?

- So, you knew them

better than she did.

You knew Michael,

you knew all the kids.

Why were you so determined

to point the finger at Mary?

Was she an easy scapegoat?

Why were there

never any other suspects?

How did it happen?

How does something

like that happen?

Did you see him out

on the street that night?

Did you offer

to give him a ride home?

How many others have you taken?

-We'll talk again later.

-Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

What are you waiting for?

What are you waiting for?

Chloe? Chloe.

- Jess.

Jess.

This way.

Chloe?

Hello?

Wait. Wait!

Wait.

Hello?

Chloe?

Ah!

- Michael.

- Help! Help!

Get away!

No!

-Jess!

- Hi. I'm gonna get you

out of here, okay?

-It's coming.

Let's go!

- Help!

Help us!

Come on!

Run.

- No!

Come on!

- Wait!

Help me. Help me.

- Come on.

Come on, we gotta go. Come on.

-What the f***?

Jess?

Jess!

What are you doing?

Where's Jess?

I'm calling the police.

-Ben?

So, Chloe and I are home.

Um, we're safe. So, come back.

Okay. Bye. Love you.

You okay?

-Just thinking about boardman.

-He did some very bad things.

He had it coming.

- What do you mean?

What did he do?

-Your friend, Michael boardman

is the one who really took him.

He made everyone think

that it was Mary

so they wouldn't suspect him.

He got what he deserved.

-Boardman didn't take Michael.

He was a good man.

He always protected us.

- How are you?

You being taken care of?

- He's volunteered

here for years.

The kids love him.

-What are you talking about?

-I saw Michael.

Mary fed him to the demon.

Boardman was the only one

who believed us.

- And I investigated.

Thoroughly.

Everybody knows what you did.

She killed herself.

-No!

- She got what she deserved.

- And the only way

that the human slave

can be free of the demon

is if they kill themselves.

Or if they trick someone else

into replacing them

by forcing them to do something

truly, truly evil.

- Mary was the demon's slave.

She killed herself to be free.

Tira lied to me.

- It's not a baba yaga

haunting you.

-She tricked me.

- If she didn't take that boy,

then find out who did.

- She made me believe that

boardman was guilty.

Sh*t!
