Dorothy Mills Page #3

I'm taking her with me.

Aah!

You b*tch! B*tch!

All right, Dorothy, calm down.

Oh, hey, it's the f***ing sheriff!

I asked you not to intervene.

Well, next time, I'll tie her up.

My head.

Well, you were kind of asking for it.

Dorothy?

I'm not Dorothy.

I'm Kurt.

Well, nice to meet you, Kurt.

I'm Jane.

Tell me what I can do to help you.

I always take the pain for her.

For Dorothy.

I take the pain so she doesn't get hurt.

She wouldn't handle it.

That's very brave of you.

Yeah, well, I'm getting

a bit bored with it now.

And I don't want to go to jail.

If Dorothy goes to jail,

we'll all go, won't we?

Yes.

But you have to help me.

Were you there at the Kearsleys'?

- Did you see the baby?

- No, no.

I can't talk. Duncan won't let me.

- Who's Duncan?

- Duncan's the boss.

Where is he? Can I talk to him?

Trust me, you don't want

anything to do with him.

You, especially. He'd kill you.

Tell Duncan that I want to speak to...

Come back here, bastard!

Bastard! Shut it!

Hold her down for me.

Dorothy.

No.

I killed the baby, didn't I?

Tell me. Tell me, please.

- Dorothy?

- What are you doing? No.

- I promise...

- Stop it.

- I promise it won't hurt.

- Stop it!

We should take her home.

I gave her a tranquilizer.

She'll sleep until tomorrow morning.

I'll be here before she wakes up.

You were very impressive back there.

Thanks.

But you should've got

that ferry this morning.

You know, people

are getting nervous around here.

You're unsettling them.

I'm unsettling them?

You've had time to gather

your material, you know?

You can write

your report now, can't you?

Well, maybe there's more

at stake than just a report.

Look, I've a small boat.

I could easily take you to the mainland.

I can't leave without Dorothy.

Well, the next ferry isn't for three days.

Well, then, I'll just have to wait for it.

See you later.

Jakey.

Hey, gorgeous.

Want to party?

Dorothy, you shouldn't be out here...

Shut up.

You drive.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

You really think

I was gonna let a pinhead like you

jerk off inside me?

You're a funny boy, Jakey, aren't you?

Can't resist.

I'm desperate,

but I'm not that desperate.

You twisted slut. I'll f***ing kill you!

You slag!

You f***ing dirt box!

Hello?

Dr. Norton?

Yes, it's me. Who's speaking?

Dorothy tried to kill herself.

Who is this?

Dorothy needs you. Come quickly.

Dorothy!

Why, you must be freezing.

I'm not Dorothy. I'm Kurt.

What happened, Kurt?

When you put Dorothy to bed,

Mary took over

and escaped out the window.

What did she do?

The usual tricks.

She got arsed with some bloke,

and then vanished

when things got out of hand.

Dorothy was so close

to throwing herself off that cliff.

If I hadn't been there to save her...

Good man, Kurt.

Dorothy will be very proud of you.

Oh, sweetheart, I'm here.

It's all right now.

I'm taking you home.

What sort of drug did you give her?

I'm not dead?

I'm not dead!

No, no, you're not dead.

But I saw the cliff.

I remember the cliff.

I fell off the cliff. I saw the waves.

Shh. You're safe now. It's okay.

No, but I'm a freak.

Nobody can help a freak!

You're not a freak, Dorothy, okay?

I've done horrible things

I don't even remember.

I'm so ashamed.

I'm so ashamed.

Listen, Dorothy. Listen carefully to me.

The things that are happening inside of you

are not your fault.

These blackouts that you have,

they're caused

by different characters

that you've created in your mind.

And when you're scared,

just like now,

your... your mind sends out

a character to protect you.

But I don't remember anything.

No, but it's because...

it's because you...

- Dorothy.

- No.

It's because...

you disappear when that happens.

Dorothy...

they're inside of you.

No. No.

Dorothy, they're trying to keep you

- from killing yourself.

- It isn't true.

Dorothy, it was one of these characters

that hurt this baby, Dorothy, not you.

You mustn't be afraid of them.

Listen, you must try

to relate to them.

Get your hand off me.

Didn't I already tell you to piss off?

Duncan, is that you?

Did you hurt the baby?

Do you think I hurt the baby?

- Why did you do it?

- How can I do anything?

I'm just a character.

Why did you do it?

Payback.

Just a little bit of payback.

What could a baby

have done against you?

You think you're

so f***ing smart, don't you?

You don't know anything.

Why don't you take a look

at Dorothy's latest drawing?

She did it just for you!

Isn't that sweet little David,

floating and dead

like a rotten old fish?

Mommy, Mommy, the water is so cold.

- Stop it.

- I don't want to die.

Stop it. Stop it!

Don't shout at me, Mommy.

I'm drowning. Help me.

Help me. Why did you leave me?

Don't let me drown.

Mommy, help me.

Why did you leave me?

Don't let me drown.

Please, the water is so cold.

The water is so cold.

I don't want to die.

Please forgive me.

It was my fault.

I thought it was safe.

Please forgive me.

Who is the boy in this photograph?

That's my grandson.

He's the boy that drove me into the lake,

him and two other kids.

Oh, no. It couldn't be him.

He's dead this ten years.

He was good on the guitar.

What was his name?

Duncan.

How did he die?

Such a stupid thing.

They crashed their car into the lake.

They?

Duncan and his two young friends,

Mary and Kurt.

No, that's impossible.

I saw them in the car in front of me.

I've seen them in the square.

If you don't believe me,

check the records.

You must have told her

about your son.

You're the only one

I've mentioned it to.

And I didn't even

tell you how he died.

You've obviously been going

through too much strain.

Look, you're exhausted,

and your imagination's

beginning to play tricks on you.

Tricks?

You don't have the slightest idea.

These characters

inside of her head are dead.

They're dead!

And these kids that drove me

into the lake, they're dead, too.

And they're the ones

that are turning poor Dorothy

into a f***ing ventriloquist!

One time she's Mimi,

then she's Kurt,

then she's Duncan, then she's Mary.

I've heard them

all speak through her,

and there's not a f***ing thing

she can do about it.

How can you believe that?

You're the psychiatrist, for f***'s sake.

Colin, some evil sh*t is going on.

I swear, she feels people's pain.

I mean, I even heard

my own dead son speak.

Jane. Jane, Jane, Jane.

Shh.

Hush.

Jane, you have

to get away from here.

I'm gonna take you

to the mainland tomorrow...

- No.

- No, listen.

I don't like the way people are acting.

I don't think you're safe here.

What is their real problem

with Dorothy?

What are they so f***ing scared of?

It's old stuff, okay? Local stuff.

It's like you've lifted a stone

and exposed something.

I can't believe it's Dorothy.

Here.

These'll help you

get through the night.

You can sleep here.

I'll wake you

first thing in the morning.

Trust me.

We'll make decisions in the morning.
