Single White Female 2: The Psycho Page #5

...to sleep with your new roommate?

- Tess, please.

- I'm sorry.

I guess I'm just upset

that you're moving out.

I love having you here.

I don't want you to leave.

I so appreciate you taking me in

when I needed it the most.

Don't worry, I'm gonna pay my rent

until you find a roommate.

I'll put the ad in tomorrow.

You, me and David

could get dinner tomorrow night...

...when he gets back in town?

I'd like that.

Great. I'll tell him to meet us

here at 7.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Sh*t!

I love this dress.

- Sam Elroy sent this over.

- Have you seen Jan today?

No. A few girls said they saw her

at that bar on Third Street last night.

- Drinking away the promotion blues.

- If you see her, have her call me.

Sure.

You've reached David's cell phone.

Leave a message, I'll call you back.

Call me soon as you land.

I need to talk.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Is Holly here?

- Oh, no. Not yet.

She's supposed

to meet me here.

We're all supposed to have dinner

tonight. Kind of a farewell thing.

Come in.

It's okay. I'm not gonna bite.

Come on.

Do you want a glass of wine?

I'm gonna have a glass.

I think I'll wait for Holly. Thanks.

Okay. Make yourself at home.

She's always late,

but I guess you know that.

I'm sure you know her

better than I do.

You're right.

She is always late.

I'm surprised she didn't call

and tell you she was running late.

She might have tried.

I left my cell phone on the plane.

Maybe that's her right now.

Hello?

No, but it's fine.

If he gets there before I do,

have him call me.

I really need to talk to him.

We're still going, right?

Your farewell dinner?

I think it's a little late

for that tonight.

Tess?

I'm still here.

Just wondering how many times

you're gonna lie before I wise up.

We'll talk when you get here.

Tess?

- Was that her?

- She's stuck in traffic.

She didn't ask to talk to me?

Her phone cut out.

She'll probably call back in a bit.

You might as well

take your coat off and relax.

She's at least 45 minutes away.

- Maybe we should just reschedule.

- I suggested that...

...but she wants to do it tonight.

To you and Holly.

Thanks.

- How's the wine?

- Oh, it's very good.

- Would I know it?

- Probably not.

It's from a small vineyard

in California.

Not like the expensive wines

at your restaurant.

The wines at my restaurant

aren't that expensive.

We charge people

a lot to drink them.

That's your specialty, isn't it?

Lying, I mean.

I'm sorry.

That was rude and uncalled-for.

I guess I'm just a little bitter

Holly's moving out so soon.

I'm sure Holly wants to stay friends.

Really? She arranged

a farewell dinner.

She says she wants

to stay friends with you.

- I'm sure she means it.

- Holly lies to you, David.

She was supposed to share

her pain with me.

We were gonna protect each other.

Are you still f***ing Jan and Holly?

All right.

Are you okay?

You don't look so good.

Maybe it was the wine.

What did you do to me?

- What's going on?

- You live here?

- I do.

- Detective.

We've got the roommate here.

- Ms. Parker?

- What is it?

- You know a David Kray?

- What happened?

- Is David okay? Where is he?

- He's on his way to the hospital.

What happened, Tess?

He was hurting me.

He wouldn't stop.

What did you do to him?

This way.

She's lying.

You don't even know what she said.

She's lying about David.

He would never hurt her.

- They were in a sexual situation.

- That's bullshit.

He got rough.

She says he wouldn't stop.

She got scared for her life

and she reacted.

- What does that mean?

- She hit him with a bottle.

- Two blows to the head.

- Oh, my God.

He's alive, but he wasn't

responding when we arrived.

She's lying.

David would never do that.

Is it true you moved out

of your last apartment...

...because you found

Mr. Kray and your roommate...

...engaged in a sexual relationship?

Yes, but...

I wanna see David.

All right. Let's go.

He's suffered major trauma to the

prosencephalon section of the brain.

We've stopped the cerebral bleeding,

but he's in a comatose state.

There's been no cognitive

or motor responses of any kind.

Got here as soon as I could.

How is he?

Not good.

Exactly what does

she claim happened?

She says that when he showed up

at the apartment, he was drunk.

When she told him you were gonna

be late, he became irritated.

She opened a bottle of wine

to try and calm him down.

They started talking.

The conversation took on

sexual tones.

He said, "I know what you like

and I like it too."

She tried to fight him, but he

responded with a violent outburst.

- It's a lie. She made it up.

- She was afraid for her life.

She hit him with the wine bottle

in self-defense, then called 911.

Nothing happened.

Her injuries are consistent

with the events she describes.

They're taking DNA samples

from her now.

Yeah. Hang on.

The hospital's keeping her

tonight for observation.

We'll know more when we get

the test results back tomorrow.

Go ahead.

All right, Holly, take a breath.

I'm so sorry, Holly.

He wouldn't stop.

Cut the sh*t, Tess.

It may work on the others,

but I know you're lying.

Why are you doing this?

- He hurt me.

- Stop it, Tess.

He tried to kill me.

You're f***ing lying.

Tell them the truth. Tell them!

Tell them the goddamn truth!

Ask her what she did. Ask her

what really happened! Ask her!

What a night.

You sure you wanna go back

in there again tonight?

I'd feel weird about staying

at David's right now.

Grab some stuff, come stay

at my place for a few days.

- I'll be okay.

- You sure?

Yeah. I need some time alone.

There are things I wanna check out.

All right, your call.

Take some time off.

Jan can handle your accounts

for a while...

...assuming she still works for us.

- What do you mean?

- She didn't show up for work.

Some of the girls think

she is going to jump ship...

...look for something

at one of the big firms.

- I'll call you tomorrow.

- Do.

Night-night.

Demerol?

It's a fast-acting narcotic

in high dosage.

Showed up in the blood panel.

He was loaded with it.

Enough to knock him off his feet.

Detective, we have a problem.

She was here five minutes ago.

No one saw her leave.

Miss Parker,

this is Detective Rousch.

If you get this message, call me back

immediately. I need to talk to you.

You killed her.

She was a b*tch.

You said so yourself.

And she was coming

between us, Holly.

David too.

They could never understand

what we have.

- You killed Jan.

- She had to die.

She understood in the end.

They always understand.

My God, Tess.

- How many have you killed?

- How much pain have I taken away?

A lot.

I can help you, Holly.

- I can make the pain disappear.

- Please don't, Tess.

First your mother, then David...

...now Jan.

So much pain.

When you understand,

you'll thank me.

I don't wanna die.

I don't wanna die.

It'll be okay.

Let's go.

You remind me so much

of Elizabeth.

I knew from the moment we met...
