The Killing Pact Page #6

Synopsis: Hayley Udall tries to make ends meet for herself and her 14 year-old daughter while providing alimony for a horrible ex-husband. She wishes her problems with her ex could go away, and upon venting her frustrations one night, finds herself tangled up in a pact with two people (Melanie and Kevin) to "eliminate" each other's problems. It seemed innocent wishful thinking before, but as people end up dead-including Hayley's ex-husband-Hayley is trapped to fulfill the pact or risk taking the fall for murder. She tries to clear her name but the police (led by Detective Marks) is eyeing her for her ex-husband's death as well as others. Then Melanie abducts Hayley's daughter as leverage for Hayley to follow through and kill one last person. With Detective Marks trying to find the truth, Hayley must hurry to save her daughter and find a way to avoid murder.

subpoenaed his phone records,

and...

Apparently you called

him just about the time

of his murdering

your ex-husband.

I was trying to reschedule.

And you got a text from

him a couple days later,

just before he died,

saying I'm ready.

Isn't that cryptic?

- I didn't answer.

- Why not?

- He was being

investigated by the police.

I just didn't think it

was wise to be dating

somebody like that.

- I have three

dead bodies Hayley.

Do you understand that?

And when I look at what

the common connection is,

on the surface, I don't see

one, but when I look closer,

and I see the threads that

tied between all of them,

do you know where they dead end?

They dead end with you.

- I'm really sorry, Detective.

I wish that I could help you.

- Then help me.

- I think it's time that you go.

- Okay.

If you want to make

this easier on yourself

and everyone, you

know how to find me.

- Having a little

heart to heart?

- He didn't look

like the nicest guy.

- No he didn't.

So how'd things go with

the ex-wife this time.

- She knows something

she's not telling us.

I'd like to put

surveillance on her.

- Are you sure we'll

get approval for that?

'Cause you know the

department's cutting

wherever they can.

- We'll just have to

alternate shifts ourselves.

- Okay, I'm here.

- About time.

- Where is she?

Where is she?

- She's here.

- Let me see her.

- Show it to me first.

- What?

- Your weapon.

Perfect.

- Alright, can I see her please.

- Jamie, oh my.

- Hurry up, show's over.

- The show was wonderful.

- Oh thank you so much.

Have a wonderful evening.

- Thank you.

- Well, looks like

everyone's gone.

- Is her car still there?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I'm gonna go

inside and take a look.

I'll keep you posted.

- You, what are you doing here?

- Lisa, listen to me.

- Who are you?

- Your niece, Melanie, she

wants you dead, not me.

- You were here this afternoon.

I'm not here to hurt you.

I'm here to warn you.

- Just stay away from me.

- Don't worry, Lisa.

I won't let her hurt you.

- Melanie, what

is this all about?

- This is Hayley, and

she's here to kill you.

- No.

- Only, I won't let

her get away with it.

And when he police

get here, they'll see

that I was too late

save my favorite aunt

or stop her homicidal stalker.

- Melanie!

- She deserves it.

You saw it.

She's horrible,

always tearing me down

when she's the one

destroying everything.

And you, all you had

to do was your part.

Instead you just

got Jamie killed.

Don't move!

Hayley!

- Jamie.

Jamie.

Jamie.

Jamie.

- Shots fired, send backup.

Hello!

Hey, are you okay in there?

It's the police!

I'm gonna try to

break you out, okay?

Just stay back, okay?

Alright stay back, okay?

Hey, are you okay?

Huh?

- Where's my mom?

- I don't know.

- Come on!

- No!

Stop!

Stop!

Mom!

Mom!

- Stop fighting!

- Jamie!

- Mom!

Mom!

Let me go, stop!

Where's my mom?

- I told you to shut up!

- Jamie!

- Back here.

- Where is she?

- They, uh.

Backup's on the way.

- Stay back.

- Where are they?

Jamie!

Don't, don't hurt her.

- Drop it.

- What?

- Drop it.

- Slide it over here.

- Okay, let my daughter go.

- I will when I have Lisa.

I want to Hayley, but you're

the one killing Jamie.

- Please don't hurt her.

- Where's Lisa?

Oh Aunt Lisa?

Come out or I'm killing

this innocent girl.

- Alright alright, I'm here.

I'm here.

There you are.

You see Hayley, it's all

about proper motivation.

- Let Jamie go.

- No.

We can still make this work.

On your knees!

On your knees.

Now Hayley.

Kill her.

- How?

- Pick that up!

Pick that up!

Okay, drop it.

Drop it.

Pick it up.

Pick it up.

A knife would've been cleaner,

but we're way past

that now, hmm.

- What do you have to

gain from all this?

- Money, right?

Because it's always about money,

isn't Aunt Lisa.

But not for me.

For me, it's a

little bit more, hm.

For me, it's knowing that

I brought you to your end,

and I put a stop to

your greed and betrayal.

I planned it so perfectly,

but one thing always

bothered me about it all

and it was that

you wouldn't know

that I was behind it.

You wouldn't know

that you were paying

for what you did to my family,

what you did to your own family!

- This isn't gonna work.

The police, they've

already seen you.

- It'll work, okay,

just wait and see.

- You're insane.

- You're not gonna

get away with this.

Your plan has failed.

- It's fixable, I'll

just have to frame you

for the murders since

it's come to that now.

Now do it!

- Stop this.

- Don't move!

- You can't, please,

no, you can't please.

You can't, don't, don't, don't.

- Don't move.

- You're crazy.

- I prefer cunning.

- Okay, then you should do it.

Kill her yourself.

You want a job done right.

- You know what your

biggest mistake was?

Your mistake was

thinking that we were all

capable of killing like you.

- Hayley!

- We're backstage!

- Melanie.

- You took everything.

You left us with nothing.

You left me with nothing.

I was 14.

- No, no, Melanie.

- Stay away from me!

Ah!

I did it.

I did it.

I did it.

I did it, I did it,

I did it, I did...

- Oh, oh.

Are you hurt, no?

- Fine, I'm fine.

- Good, okay.

- You guys both okay?

- Everything

clear, everything good?

I'll call paramedics.

- Don't worry, we'll be

going home soon, okay.

- Hey guys.

- Hey.

- How we doin'?

Hey, do you mind

if I have a moment

with your mom in private?

- It's okay, yeah.

- Okay.

- Come on, let's get something

from the soda machine.

- I don't even like soda.

- So, how's your leg?

- Oh, there's a

little chunk missing,

but I think I'll be fine.

- How 'bout you, you as okay

as you keep saying you are?

- It depends.

- On?

- On how much trouble I'm in.

- Well, Lisa's in

stable condition

and she's been awake

here and there,

enough to corroborate

everything that happened

at the theater.

- That's good.

- Yeah, Melanie's in custody.

She's been very vocal, and

she'll probably plead insanity.

But I'm happy to inform you

that you're no longer a suspect.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

Look, I'm really sorry

about not being able

to tell you everything

that was happening.

- Hey, you were

threatened by Melanie

and you didn't have a choice.

Pretty sure the D.A.'ll

see it the same way.

You guys have been through

a lot these last few days.

It's a fresh start, huh.

- Yeah, thanks.

- It's been a long night,

you gotta be exhausted.

- Oh yeah, I'm

actually starving.

- Yeah, me too.

- Let's get some breakfast.

- Yeah, oh.

- Who is it?

- Somebody needs a

ride to the airport.

- Oh?

- No, you know what, no.

They can find somebody else.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Come on.

Let's go.
