SHERIFF STORCH (CONT'D)

It's empty.

He walks back down.

SHERIFF STORCH (CONT'D)

No sign of 'em. If they were here,

they're gone now.

Sheriff Storch makes his way through and walks back into--

39 INT. CABIN, KITCHEN - DAY 39

Jennifer follows him and watches as he inspects it closely.

His eyes fall on the box of liquor bottles.

SHERIFF STORCH:

You here alone?

JENNIFER:

Yes.

SHERIFF STORCH:

(RE:
LIQUOR)

With all this?

JENNIFER:

I wasn't going to drink it all this

weekend. I... I planned on being

here for a couple of months.

SHERIFF STORCH:

Drink some tonight?

JENNIFER:

Yes, well, they were. They forced

me to.

He moves away and walks back through the cabin.

As he does, he spots the glass shattered on the floor... and

the nearby THONG and BRA that Andy flung at her.

Takes a long hard look at them, then looks back up to

Jennifer.

JENNIFER (CONT'D)

One of them, he was up there, went

through everything.

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 35.

Sheriff Storch taps the broken glass with his thick boot.

SHERIFF STORCH:

(pointing to the glass)

They do this, too?

JENNIFER:

Please, I don't care about those

things. They shoved a gun in my

mouth...

Jennifer breaks down again as the Sheriff moves toward her.

SHERIFF STORCH:

Okay, okay Ma'am. It's okay now.

Them boys are gone. You're safe

now.

Jennifer nods to him, still shaken. Storch looks to the lock

on the back door.

He walks toward the back door and turns the dead bolt back

and forth.

SHERIFF STORCH (CONT'D)

(re:
back door)

Was this locked?

JENNIFER:

Yes. Of course.

40 EXT. CABIN - DAY 40

Sheriff Storch steps onto the porch. Jennifer follows.

Sheriff Storch looks down and sees the dead bird at his feet.

He pokes it with the barrel of his shotgun.

SHERIFF STORCH:

How long you been here?

JENNIFER:

Just a few days.

SHERIFF STORCH:

Anything strange happen before

this? You have a run in with any

of these guys?

JENNIFER:

No. Not really. I stopped for gas

and directions.

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 36.

41 INT. CABIN - DAY 41

Back inside, Sheriff Storch hooks his fingers into his belt

and continues to look around.

His eyes casually fall upon the roach sitting in the ashtray.

He picks it up and smells it.

SHERIFF STORCH:

Ma'am, is this your marijuana

cigarette?

Suddenly, Jennifer realizes that simple possession might not

go over in this small town like it does in Manhattan.

JENNIFER:

Uh... n...no. The men probably

left it.

Sheriff Storch walks over to Jennifer until he's standing

directly in front of her.

SHERIFF STORCH:

You mean to tell me that one of

these guys was wearing lipstick?

Storch holds up the roach. Jennifer notices the lipstick

smear on the rolling paper. She casts her eyes downward.

SHERIFF STORCH (CONT'D)

This ain't the big city.

Sheriff Storch stands uncomfortably close. Slowly, he walks

closer up to Jennifer's face, stares into her eyelids. Pulls

down one of them. Then the other. Then his gaze falls down

to her chest... her ample cleavage. His stare lingers a bit

too long.

JENNIFER:

Please, I swear. I didn't make it

up. I may have smoked a joint, but-

Sheriff Storch lifts his walkie-talkie to his mouth.

SHERIFF STORCH:

(into the walkie-talkie)

This is Sheriff Storch. I'm at the

Mockingbird Cabin. I gonna need

some backup.

The words out of the Sheriff's mouth seem almost surreal.

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 37.

JENNIFER:

(BECOMING FRANTIC)

Backup? What could you possibly

need back up for? I'm the victim.

Sheriff Storch holds up his hand, cutting her off.

SHERIFF STORCH:

Ma'am. You've been drinking and

smoking marijuana, and you got

enough alcohol here to put our

whole town three sheets to the

wind. You're running around in

your nighty at the crack of dawn...

You need to see this from my point

of view.

JENNIFER:

What?! They were here! They

assaulted me! You've got to

believe me!

SHERIFF STORCH:

I just want to get to the bottom of

it. You're making serious

accusations bout' boys I've know

since they was kids, and you

haven't been all together truthful

now have you?

(BEAT)

Now please, against the wall.

Angry and ashamed, Jennifer walks over and places her palms

against the wall, her legs pressed tightly together.

Sheriff Storch inches up behind her. He taps the inside of

her thigh with his shotgun.

SHERIFF STORCH (CONT'D)

Shoulder width apart, face to the

wall.

Jennifer has no choice but to comply.

He pats up and down Jennifer's side. When he gets to the

swell of her breast, he slides his hand to the front ever so

slightly. Jennifer reflexively turns--

SHERIFF STORCH (CONT'D)

Face to the wall!

Sheriff Storch puts his hand to the side of her face and puts

it to the wall. Jennifer cringes.
