Murder in the Dark Page #3

SOLO:
What are you doing?

SIMONE:
I don't want it!

I came-- I came all

the way down here.

I came all the way,

and you don't care.

SOLO:
For what?

What are you talking

about, I don't care?

SIMONE:
Because I wanted

to see you, you a**hole!

SOLO:
What?

Me?

I'm an a**hole?

You're the one that's

going to other people.

SIMONE:
Get away from me.

SOLO:
How is this my fault?

SIMONE:
I don't

wanna talk with you.

I don't wanna see you again.

SOLO (SARCASTICALLY): This is

my fault, yes, this is my fault.

[scream]

Help me, somebody, please!

Help!

Jess!

Help me!

Jessica!

No!

Simone.

Simone.

Don't touch her!

Last night, you saw her?

Last night, they were

both really upset.

They were arguing.

Ajay, I'm gonna get the car.

I'll pull it up,

and we need to pack.

Why don't you get

everybody's things together?

I'm gonna go with Matthew.

You guys go too.

I'll see you down there.

Ajay, get everything together.

Matthew, wait.

[thunder rumbling]

Maybe she tripped.

That did not look

like an accident to me.

I didn't see the--

That did not look accidental.

How the hell was

she draped over--

Don't you think it's a little

strange that this happened?

Yes, I think it's

a little strange.

Even if something did happen,

right now, we want everyone

to think that was an accident.

I don't need you

to be patronizing.

OK, well, I'm sorry.

I don't need you

to be patronizing.

We should take her down.

Leave us alone.

[sobbing]

Solo, man, we gotta go.

Hey, hey.

Man, we gotta go.

They're bringing up the car.

We'll get you

inside, get you dry.

We'll get some help.

We'll bring someone back here.

We gotta get outta here, OK?

I got her.

[grunting]

[thunder]

[engine turning over]

Let's see.

Maybe it's this thing.

Just give me a minute here.

You're joking.

No, no, no.

Just stop it.

What I need you to do

is open the glove box

and see if there's

an owner's manual.

Do you need a hand?

Need a hand?

I got it.

Watch her.

I'll be right back.

I'll get my stuff.

OK, press on it.

[engine turning over]

Lilly.

Come here.

Listen to me.

I need you to go

up there, tell them

I can't get the car started.

I don't know

whether it's broken.

I don't know what's

wrong with it.

Listen to me, maybe by the

time you get back here,

it's working.

Let me just work on it,

but we cannot waste time.

They're expecting us back there.

Do you know anything

about cars, Matthew?

I know enough.

Go.

[shutter click]

Why are you still here?

I thought you wanted me to

wait here till you got back.

I'll go to the van, OK?

You OK to wait here

while we pull the van up?

I'll be fine.

It's-- it's not

even turning over.

It's not even making

the click sound.

We may have to just

walk out of here,

but that's a long ass walk.

I can't get the

car started, Ajay.

Where's Lily?

I sent her up to--

I just sent her up.

She's up.

Did you-- she told

you to come here?

No, I didn't see her.

I don't think I even saw one

car the whole way up here.

Why aren't you guys at the van?

Kevin.

Why aren't you at the van?

Where's Lilly?

Where's Lily?

Lily?

Lily went with you.

Matthew, you said

Lily went up here.

I sent Lily up to get you.

Let's get in the van, let's

get the hell outta here, OK?

The van doesn't run.

We gotta all get--

What do you mean

the van doesn't run?

The van won't start.

Do you know anything about cars?

Not very much.

What's wrong with it?

It won't start.

We need to all get together

and decide what to do.

In the hall, for a moment--

I can hike it,

I'll get some help.

It'll take me about a day.

I can find a farm.

I'll find someone and come back.

But I don't think

you should go.

We don't have a car.

We need a car.

I should be back

here by tonight.

I think that's a great idea.

All right, all right.

All right.

Taylor, let's go.

Matthew, can I just have

a second with Taylor?

I just want to say goodbye, OK?

Say goodbye.

Can I have a

second, please, Dad?

Really?

Taylor.

Really.

You got 30 seconds.

I'm right around the corner.

Do you really have to go?

I want you to come with me.

What?

We have to get outta here, OK?

Go get some help for the others,

but we have to get outta here.

Please don't go.

Taylor, I don't trust

these people, OK?

But my dad's here.

I--

Come with me now.

I can't go with you.

Please don't go.

Look, if you're going to

stay here, you be safe, OK?

Don't trust anyone,

not even your dad, OK?

I want you to hold

onto my camera for now.

Hey, I promise I'll be back.

OK.

OK.

Please come back.

Please don't leave me.

MATTHEW:
Taylor.

I didn't see her until

I was already up there.

She did not fall--

I didn't hear--

You weren't listening

to music or anything.

I didn't hear anything.

I didn't hear anything.

OK, let's keep moving.

Let's take a look

from up there.

She should have been right here.

So maybe she fell

down, you know?

Maybe she fell down.

Jess!

You guys!

Oh my god!

Oh my god!

Hey, hey, hey.

What's going on?

What's going on?

I just saw-- I saw

a man in a mask!

What's going on?

Talk to me.

He was looking at me!

Shh.

I thought everybody was gone.

Don't look at it.

Just keep going.

Oh. [muttering]

What is that?

It's probably just from an

animal or something, OK?

Here.

Go.

Yeah.

We're just gonna find

everybody, and we're gonna go.

Don't look at that.

[screaming]

Oh, god.

Is she dead?

Oh, man.

[shouting]

[sobbing]

Lily.

Lily.

Lily.

Help me get her down.

Help-- help me get her down.

This was no accident.

We should take her

to where Simone is.

Lay her down gently.

Lily was--

She didn't want to tell you.

There's a--

What?

Wait, Kevin took a--

There's a gash on her side.

He took a picture of Simone?

Go check her body.

I was in there for two hours.

I did not see a single thing.

Oh, Lord.

How could we not have seen this?

'Cause we weren't looking.

But why would they--

who would do this?

Organ harvesting.

It's for the black market.

What the hell.

Luca.

Come here.

What?

Matthew, he's--

Matthew's what?

I don't trust him.

I didn't know that he

was taking a picture.

Ajay, that is a sophisticated

surgical procedure in there.

That is no hack job.

Somebody knows

what they're doing.

It's a little strange

that all of us are doctors,

or-- or you are a surgeon,

and now, all of a sudden, this

is happening?

There's obviously someone

else here because none of us

did that.

Well, whoever strung Lily

up is absolutely nuts.

Maybe it was Kevin.

That's probably it.

He was so anxious

to go and get help.

It's not him.

He was going to get help.

Oh, I don't know about that.

He came--

After I left him,

I saw this thing.

It was right after.

What did you see?

It was a person with

a mask on their face.

This place is so big, there

could be anyone anywhere.

She's got a really

vivid imagination.

It's Kevin.

It's not him.

I think it's one of us.

What?

No, she's just afraid.

Taylor, don't talk like that.
