The Killing Pact Page #3

Yeah, that's when I dropped

him off at his place.

- Where had you been?

- We went to a bar.

I don't remember the name of it.

It was on Hooper Street.

- So other people saw you there?

- Yeah.

I'm sorry, can I ask you

what this is all about?

- I can't really give

you that information

at this point, but

thanks for your time.

- You've reached

Kevin, please leave a message.

- Hey Kevin, this is Hayley.

Listen, the police

came by and they were

asking some questions.

I just wanted to make

sure that you were okay.

Call me.

Olsen.

- Sarah Olsen, you

weren't worth it anyway.

- Hi, this is Melanie.

Leave a message and

I'll call you back

as soon as I can.

- Hi Melanie, this is

Hayley from Friday night.

Can you give me a call

when you get this please?

Thank you.

Send.

What?

- We make a pact to improve

things for each of us.

No matter what it would take.

Alright, I help Kevin,

Kevin helps Hayley,

and Hayley helps me.

- Hey, I can't

talk right now Hayley.

- Kevin, hey, what's going on?

- I'm sorry.

Sarah's dead, now I

don't have a choice.

I'm so sorry.

- What?

- Kevin?

Jerry come on.

Pick up.

Please pick up.

- What?

- Okay, you're okay.

What do you want?

- I think that you might

be in danger maybe.

- Is that some kind of a threat?

No, but I really, I need

you to listen to me please.

- I still owe you a

visit for hanging up on me.

- Jerry, hey hey, where are you?

- I'm at

physical therapy, stupid.

- No.

- Oh no.

- Oh, what the hell, man.

Watch where you're going.

- Hey Jamie, I'm gonna

run a quick errand okay.

I'll be right back.

- Okay.

- Hey, this is Jeremy Udall.

After the tone, you

know what to do.

- Hey Jerry, it's me,

can you call me please?

Thank you.

- You've reached Kevin.

Please leave a message.

- Come on, come on, come on.

- Come on keys.

Come on.

- What?

- Hey, Melanie,

hi, this is Hayley.

- Why are you

calling me, Hayley?

- I saw that Kevin's

boss was murdered.

I can't get a hold of him.

- Kevin is doing what

he's supposed to be doing.

- Ho, hey hey hey.

- Can I help you?

- Hi, is Jerry Udall here?

He told me that

he would be here.

- I'm sorry,

there's nobody here.

Everything's locked

up for the night.

- Are you sure?

- Yes ma'am, I've been

here for a few hours

and haven't seen anybody.

- Okay.

- Have a good night.

- Thank you.

- Hey, it's Jerry Udall.

After the tone, you

know what to do.

- Hey, umm, mom.

- Uh huh.

- Are you sick?

- I can't get a hold of Jerry.

He's not picking up, he

wasn't at his PT appointment,

his apartment, I just.

- He's probably drunk

and passed at somewhere.

- I'm worried about him,

I mean, what if he...

- Why?

Why are you even worried?

- I don't know.

- We're better off without him.

- Okay, you know what, can

you just not say things

like that right now.

- Mom, you're acting all weird.

- I'm sorry.

- I've gotta go to school.

- Great.

Okay, it's okay.

- Mom!

- Yeah.

- Someone's at the door.

Come in.

It's for you.

- Oh, Jamie.

You better head out

to school, alright.

Go ahead.

- Bye.

- Come on in.

Please.

- This is my partner,

Detective Whitman.

- Hi.

- Great, yeah, sit down.

What is all of this about?

- It's about your

ex-husband, Jerry Udall.

He was found dead last night

in a parking lot downtown.

- Jerry is...

Dead.

- Yes ma'am.

- Can you possibly

think of anyone

that would want Jerry dead?

- No, I, I don't know.

- You two had a pretty rocky

relationship, is that right?

Domestic disturbances, ER

visits, that sort of thing.

- Yeah.

- When was the last

time you saw Jerry.

Umm.

Two weeks ago.

He came into my work.

- Wait, but didn't you

have a restraining order

against him.

- Yeah.

- So why didn't

you call the police.

- Just it's never helped before.

- So where were you last

night between eight and 10 PM.

- I was here most of the

time with my daughter.

I did go out for a little

bit to a PT clinic,

but it was just for a bit.

- Around what time

were you at the clinic.

- Ninish, nine.

- Physical therapy at 9:00,

that seems a little late.

What were you doing there?

I was looking for my ex-husband.

- Was there anyone at the

clinic that saw you last night?

- Yeah, there was

a security guard.

- Well we happened to get

some security camera footage

from the club last night.

- Do you possibly

recognize this figure here.

We think that's more than

likely Jerry's killer.

He's standing?

- Who, what?

- Well Jerry was,

he was disabled.

- If there's more that

you could tell us.

- Ms. Udall?

- Well, thank you

for your time, Ms. Udall.

- I just, I have

one more question.

What exactly were you doing

meeting Jerry last night?

- I was bringing him money.

- And he told you he was

gonna be at the clinic?

- Yeah.

- Alright, that'll

be all for now.

- Thank you.

- This isn't real.

This isn't happening.

I had to.

I didn't want to.

- Have you talked

to Melanie about it?

- She told me I

was going to prison

if I didn't hold up

my end of the pact.

- I found out Sarah was dead,

and at first I thought it

was just a coincidence.

It had to be.

Right?

But then, I dunno.

When I found out, I

was excited one moment,

then freaked out the next.

The police questioned

me yesterday.

- Yeah, they talked to me, too.

About you.

- You wanna know

the funny thing.

I found out I'm

being reconsidered

for the promotion at work.

Apparently Sarah was the

only one opposed to it.

But now, I...

Melanie kept saying that

you were relying on me.

So I kept telling myself that.

And to keep me safe too.

I had to do it.

I'm so sorry, Hayley.

These were awful, evil people.

Sarah.

Jerry.

Melanie's aunt.

But I just, I didn't know

it was gonna be this hard.

I didn't know it'd be like this.

I thought I was doing

everyone a favor.

What am I gonna do?

Hayley, what am I gonna do?

- Kevin, there's only

one thing that we can do.

We need to go to the police.

- What?

- We go to the police and

we tell them what happened.

- No, no no no no no

no no no no no no no!

No.

- Kevin, if we go to

the police alright,

they can help us.

- No no no no, I can't.

No, you don't understand,

you don't understand.

Okay Melanie, she's different.

I've never seen her

like this before.

Okay, all the time, I thought

it was just idle talk.

You don't understand.

- Kevin, if we go to the

police then they can help us.

- No, of course

you would say that,

because you haven't

done anything.

I killed a man!

- I know.

But Kevin, you can't, you

can't live like this, can you?

So here's what we're gonna do.

You and I, we're gonna

go down to the police.

I will go with you.

We will go down together,

and we will tell

them about Melanie,

and tell them about

Sarah, about Jerry,

about all of it, alright?

- No, look, I just,

- Please.

- I need time to think.

I need time to think about this.

Okay?

Alone.

Please.

- Okay, alright.

Alright.
