Falsely Accused Page #3

Well, then charge it. Mmm hmm?

Really, just figure out a way to

stay in touch with me. Please.

Okay, I will.

Shelly and I are going to spend

a lot of time together

if that's alright with you.

Uh, I don't see why not.

As long as you make sure that

she calls her Aunt.

Deal.

Okay, well, I'm pulling a

double. I got the night shift.

There's macaroni salad

in the fridge.

It's really delicious.

So help yourself.

Thank you, Ma'am. You have

a great night.

Ma'am?

(CHUCKLE)

I love you, Shell.

I love you, too.

Take the bag?

Yeah.

[ZIPPING UP BAG]

Me and my dad, we used to ride

this every Sunday.

It's one hell of a bike.

Yeah.

So, you ready?

Yea, I uh...

...I've been ready.

Okay. Well...

So, uh-- just--

hop on?

Yeah. Just hop on.

What's the matter?

Oh, um, it's just

I-- I... never...

Oh, you're a first timer?

Yeah, something like that.

Okay.

I know, I know. My parents are

super risk adenturers, but...

I make due. I make my

own decisions.

Ok, well, um, Don't be nervous.

And hang on tight.

[MOTORCYCLE STARTS]

[DRIVING FAST]

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[CORN STALKS MOVING]

[THUNDER STRIKE]

Alright. If anything happens,

we meet back at the bike.

Okay.

[POWER BREAKER OFF]

Alright. Okay.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[PULL LOCK OPEN]

[WOOD CREAKS]

Holy sh*t.

Damn.

[BODY FALL]

Wait.

Ok, Hold your breath.

UGH!

Oh, Jesus!

Okay, the sting, it should

subside soon.

Damn it.

We gotta just wrap it up,

okay?

God, this place is a hell hole.

I'll go upstairs.

Down that way,

see if I can find the bullets,

or anything, alright?

Oh, come on.

Damn it.

[GUS SNORING]

[DOOR SHAKE]

Damn it.

[METAL CRASH]

[LAMP SWITCH CLICKS]

[CAN FALLING]

[GRAB RIFLE]

[CLEARS THROAT]

I know you're in here,

you little sh*t.

That's you, ain't it, Shelly?

Come on out.

Huh? Snooping around again?

God Damn fool.

Well, you ain't getting

out this time.

Uh, uh. That's for sure.

[KICK]

OH!

UGH!

[DOOR OPEN]

[SCREEN DOOR OPEN]

[COCK RIFLE]

[GUN SHOT]

[CAR APPROACHING]

[SIREN]

Jake! He's heading

down the cornfield!

[HEAVY BREATHING]

[whispering]

Hey, hey.

I'm scared.

Jake, she's here.

[PHONE FLIP CLOSE]

Please don't leave me again.

You ain't getting out of

here this time.

God damn it.

Lanuit!

Lanuit! Eat your food!

Oh, Rocky?

Come here, pup.

Come here, boy.

Jeremy, is that you?

What?

Where the hell have you been?

Pop, I've been out. I told you

I was going out this morning.

Going out? We-- we had a

breech here tonight.

Somebody broke into the house.

Well, did you take care of it?

No, I didn't take care of it.

You come on over here.

Sit on down.

This is your mess.

Pop, I'm gonna take care of it.

Yeah, right.

God damn it!

[WIND THROUGH STALKS]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Another day, another dollar,

Rocky.

Let's go get 'em, boy.

C'mon. C'mon.

Let's go. Let's go.

[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]

[WIND]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Shelly...

Thank God you made it out.

Thank God we made it out.

That was insane!

That guy wants you dead.

He was-- he was ready to...

I know. Because they know

I'm onto them.

You've got to be careful.

Careful is not an option.

Look, I know you want answers

and I know you want them now,

but we've gotta be smart.

Look, Roy, I saw her in there.

That same girl that was there

the day my brother was killed

and she has to know something.

Who's gonna believe us?

I mean, we're just gonna say

we broke in and we saw her?

I know. I know. We need hard

evidence before we can get

a search warrant on that place.

We need to think this through.

I've got the perfect

place for that.

Okay. Let's go there. Now.

Oh my-- unbelievable.

I know.

You can see everything

from up here.

I thought we could map out our

master plan from up here.

Well, good call.

You know, I've been here for

five years and...

...I haven't made a single

friend...

until you.

We have to find her.

What?

The little girl. We have

to find her.

Did you even listen to

anything I just said?

Of course I was listening

to what you just said,

but I obviously have other

things on my mind too.

You know, It's been

a long night.

Oh, no. Don't start with me,

Roy. Not you, too.

I was just saying that maybe

we should get some sleep

so we can make better

decisions for tomorrow.

I'm sick of people telling

me what I need.

Well, maybe you shouldn't be.

Maybe you should

respect the fact that I'm

trying to help you.

Oh, please.

Shelly.

You know what? There's no

rest for the weary, Roy.

[MOTORCYCLE RUNNING]

[CAR PEEL OUT]

[TIRES SCREECH]

What do you mean you

don't know where she is?

What do you mean?

I-- I've been looking all over

for her. I don't know...

Well, she's not here.

Please find her.

[CAR DRIVING FAST]

[QUIET WIND]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

I'm doing everything I can

but nobody believes me.

It's like I'm the only sane one

and nobody gives a sh*t.

[CAR APPROACHING]

Surprised to see you.

Figured I might find you here.

Yeah, well.

Skylar would have believed you.

Yeah.

He's the only one.

You know, you should go.

Go!

I don't need you.

Or anybody else.

I can just...

you know I can figure

this out on my own.

So, that's it, then?

It's all about you.

Look, you may think that

you don't need me and--

and that's fine...

...but, what about the fact

that I need you?

Doesn't that mean anything

to you?

Of course it means something

to me.

[CRICKETS]

Uh!

Umph!

What are you doing here?

Oh, my God. Wait. No,

you need help. Hey!

Wait! Let me help you.

Wait, I wanna help you. Hey!

[LITTLE GIRL LAUGHS]

[CAR DRIVING]

Shelly!

Sheesh. I've been looking

all over for you.

I woke up and you were gone.

What happened?

The little girl. I saw her.

[ROY SCOFFS]

No, I did, Roy. Seriously.

She was right there in

front of me.

I was so close to her.

Look, the best thing we can do

right now is get you some rest.

No, I can't just leave

her out here.

She's all by herself.

You need to get in the car.

You're running on fumes, okay?

Let me take you home so you

can get some rest.

Okay.

[CAR DRIVING]

That's--

That's strange.

Aunt Beth is usually still at

work at this time.

Why don't I come in with you?

Oh...

No, you don't have to do that.

I insist.

[CAR DOOR SHUT]

[DOOR CREAK OPEN]

Aunt Beth?

Jesus, Shell! When was the

last time you were here?

The other day. With you.

Aunt Beth are you home?

Aunt Beth, where are you?

Shell!

Aunt Beth.

No!... no.

Aw, Jesus!

Please, no, no, NO, NO, NO!

Jesus.

God.

What the--

[SHELLY THROWS UP]

Jesus.

Shelly!

[SHELLY LAUGHS]

We need to get you out

of here, Okay?

No.

We gotta go.

No! Stop it, Roy.

Stop. I can't.

You can. We have to go. We

have to call the police.

No! Don't you dare!

Are you kidding? We need

to report this.

No, do you know what they'll

do to me?

If we report it this?

Who?

The cops.

Why would they do anything

to you?

[SOBBING]

No, no, please don't be dead.

Ok Shelly. You're not acting

rationally. I'm gonna call.
