In Fear Page #3

- Hit the side of the car.

- Was he wearing a mask?

I can't see anything.

I can't see anyone.

No, I don't think

he was wearing a mask.

I don't think he was.

Lucy, I need to... I need to know

what has happened, 'cause I can't...

What if it's him? What if it's him?

What if we killed...

what if we killed someone?

What if we killed someone?

He wasn't wearing the mask.

What if he's running away?

What if...

(WIPERS SQUEAK)

I'll go. If you say it, I'll go.

Right now, I'll go.

Tell me. Tell me, and I'll

drive on if you say it.

Tell me. I will drive on.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

- (SCREAMING)

- What?!

Please stop!

Hey! Hey! Hey, hey! Hey, hey! Hey!

(LUCY GASPING)

- Did you do this to me?

- No. Wait, wait, wait.

Did you do this to me?

- Did you do this to me?

- No, it's okay.

- What?

- Did you do this to me?

- He didn't do that to you.

- No, we were in the car.

Yeah, we were in the car.

We stopped.

I'm not talking about

when you knocked me over.

Talking about in that woods.

Did you drag me into that clearing,

and did you do this to me

with a knife?

- LUCY:
No. We got attacked too.

- When? When?

Just before.

They're still out there, man.

They're out there now.

- We need to go now.

- F***. Tom, get in.

Hold on. Where...

how... where are you from?

- I'm from around here.

- LUCY:
Get in the car.

I got attacked.

We need to get out of here now.

They're going to be looking for us.

We need to go now.

- We need to get out of here now.

- Okay, Tom. Tom. Tom!

- Please just get in the car.

- Do you want this to happen to you?

Do you want it to happen to her?

We need to go now.

- Tom. Tom, get in. Tom!

- I'm serious.

MAN:
Can we go?

I don't care if you take me

a mile down the road, even less.

Just get me out of here.

Drive.

We can talk about this later.

Please, can we just

get out of here now?

We need to go now.

- Can we go now?

- Tom, please.

Can we go now, please?

Listen... thank you.

I know you hit me and everything,

but if you guys hadn't come

around that corner there...

Ah, Jesus.

(MAN GROANING)

- LUCY:
You need a doctor.

- Ah, don't worry about me.

I'm sure the car

took the most of it.

(MAN GROANS)

Did you see who attacked you?

I'm not quite sure. I'll be honest.

Could be a group of guys.

They drink at the local pub.

They're not right in the head.

I mean...

I don't understand what's going on.

I'm Max, by the way.

I'm sorry, I didn't catch your names.

I'm Lucy.

- I'm Tom.

- MAX:
Tom.

(MAX GASPS)

So are you... I forgot your name.

Linda? Lucy, is it?

Lucy.

Wanna do me a favor and just

tilt the mirror down there

just over here?

Just want to check something.

Just want to check my face.

Oh, Jesus. Is it bad? Is it bad?

TOM:
No, it's not that bad.

Oh, that's even worse

than I thought it was.

That's a lot of blood.

We better get going.

There's a hotel not far from here.

- Yeah, Kilairney House Hotel.

- Kilairney House Hotel, yeah.

TOM:
We just went past the sign.

MAX:
We'll be able to get a

doctor from there or something.

Jesus, I...

I think I need to lie down.

Is that okay?

- TOM:
What?

- Is it okay if I just lie down a bit?

TOM:
Yeah. Yeah.

Do you know where we're

going, though, don't you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just go straight.

If you follow the signs...

- TOM:
Max.

- Yeah?

- There's a sign there.

- Yeah, just follow it.

So are you guys a couple, or...?

No.

Yeah, we're going to a festival.

Just stopping off.

- Where's the festival?

- Eh, not too far.

Why are you staying

in the hotel, then?

It's none of my business,

anyway. I'm sorry.

You been drinking, Tom?

No.

(MAX LAUGHS)

No wonder you didn't see me.

(LAUGHS)

I'm not giving you a hard

time, Tom. I'm just...

(GROANS)

TOM:
Uh...

hey, whoa! Hey, hey, hey!

F***ing sitting ducks here.

Go, go, go!

- Go back? Go back? Go back?

- No, go through.

- Go back?

- Go through it!

Tom, go through it!

- Go through. Don't stop.

- LUCY:
No!

- Tom!

- Don't stop. Go through it.

I know who they are.

Butchers and hunters,

the lot of them.

- (GASPS)

- (SQUEAKING)

MAX:
F***'s sake, Tom.

Just going to leave 'em there, Tom?

F***ing get rid of 'em.

I'll tell you who they are, and I

know exactly why they're after me.

- LUCY:
Why?

- Ah, bad blood.

Been going on for years.

There's this one guy...

he'll be out there right now.

He's the ringleader.

When he was a kid...

took a notion to hide in the ditch

and wait for a car to come,

and just when it was approaching,

he stepped out in front of it

just to see what would happen.

Now, the driver hardly had time to brake.

I'm sure they tried.

But to avoid hitting the kid,

they swerved off the road...

crashed the car.

Driver was killed instantly.

Have we been here?

- Huh?

- Have we been here?

Why'd you bring us back here, Tom?

This is the last place

in the world I want to be.

You've told me you knew these roads.

Why are you blaming me?

There's no blame here, Tom.

I'm just trying

to figure out what happened.

I've been lying down here in

the back, bleeding to death

after you hit me with the car.

It's not why you're bleeding.

I mean, I'm not all

there right now.

I mean, my head's

been f***ing cut open.

I got... you knocked me down.

I mean...

look, you don't

know the way, but I do.

Which way?

Go straight ahead, first right.

Yeah, right. Right, Tom.

Left. Go left.

Just keep going straight, Tom.

Left.

How the f*** did we come...?

They'll still be out there.

I thought they would have

given up by now and gone home.

They've changed the signs around.

Follow any of the signs, you'll come

back to exactly where you started.

You brought us here.

I followed your directions.

You did this.

What did you do to piss them off?

What?

You must have done something.

Something's happened.

Now, what happened?

- We haven't done anything.

- What happened?

We haven't done anything.

- Did you provoke them?

- No, we didn't provoke anyone.

Nah, something's happened.

What's happened?

Nothing f***ing happened.

What about the pub?

- What happened in the pub? Did...

- Nothing happened in the pub.

Did you say something to them?

Nothing happened in the pub,

all right? Leave it.

- Well, clearly something did.

- No, nothing happened in the pub.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Lucy, what happened in the pub?

- Someone...

- Did you say something to them?

No, I didn't say anything to them.

Nothing happened in the pub.

So what? Now, clearly

something happened.

Tell him, Tom.

Why are we having... why are we

having this conversation? Huh?

- You said something, didn't you?

- Tom, please.

Lucy, tell me what happened.

Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't.

You provoked 'em, Tom.

Tom, what happened in the pub?

Nothing happened in the pub.

Then, why don't you want Lucy

to say anything?

When it's going to be something

that's really stupid

- that you're going to be saying!

- What? I'm not saying anything...

- (YELLS)

- MAX:
Tom!
