The Victim Page #4

And if someone out there

has Jessica,

please just let her come home

to her family

who loves her and misses her

and is where she belongs.

Please come home, Jessica.

Reporter:

There you have it, Roger.

From the sister of Jessica Kim,

who has now been missing

almost a week.

I'm Christy Gonzales.

(TV clicks off)

That's like four girls

that have just vanished

in the last year.

I read in the paper

that the dead girl

they found in Flagstaff

was strangled.

Do you think they're all connected?

I don't know.

I don't wanna think about it.

I'm gonna go try on some of my stuff.

You lie, you cheat,

you steal.

Whatever serves your purpose.

I want you to explain to me

how you get to be where you are

and I end up living in a cabin

like a hermit...

trying to put my life back together.

Life's just a big game.

It's about who has what

and how you're gonna get it.

You can either

take life by the balls,

get what you need,

or you can be the victim.

Either way, life doesn't give a sh*t

about either one of us.

- Is that how you rationalize it?

- No.

It's just how I learned to survive.

And I'm damn good at it.

So how's that working out

for you tonight?

KYle?

I don't want to see her like that.

Yeah, all right.

( Music playing on radio )

Mary:
Maybe he's falling

in love with me.

(Annie laughs )

Sure.

Yeah, right.

It's the whole dancer thing.

Guys don't take us seriously.

Let's just blow them off, then.

Why, you have

something better to do?

Mary, I'm coming because of you.

I know, I know.

Hey, look at it this way.

We'll get some free coke.

We'll go, we'll stay for like an hour.

An hour. Okay.

I mean it this time.

I owe you one.

- You owe me like 20.

- I know.

This time, I'll actually pay you back.

- Who's your favorite b*tch?

- You are.

I think this is it.

- You think?

- Yeah.

This is it.

What would it take to make you

forget about this whole thing, huh?

What do you want?

I want you to find the grave.

We'll stay out here

all night if we have to.

And then we'll look tomorrow.

And then we'll look

tomorrow night.

And then we'll look

the next day...

- I thought this was the place!

- ...until we find the grave!

Look, it was daytime.

- Everything looks different now.

- Don't give me that!

It's a full moon.

I could read a book if I had one.

I have cash.

I have money stowed away

that nobody knows about.

Somehow that

doesn't surprise me.

What if I could

clear your record, huh?

How could you do that?

I know people.

People who could help.

The judge in your case,

the one that gave

you six years for manslaughter.

I play golf with him.

He'd work with me.

I would have

your record expunged.

No one would know

you spent a day in jail.

Think about it.

It'd be a fresh start for you.

Hell, I'll even pull some strings,

get you a cushy civilian job

on the force.

Those guys make good money.

What'd ya say?

What do I say?

Is that what you think?

I'm an idiot?!

You're a liar!

Now let's go find the grave!

We go back to the car

and we start over.

KYle?

Did you find her?

- No.

- You never will.

( Screams )

We gotta get them out of here.

Back up to the cabin.

We're gonna drive

back up to the cabin?

Got to.

My DNA is all over that place.

All that rotting wood.

It'll be impossible to clean.

We take them

back up there and what?

We kill them.

And then we torch the place.

Listen, Jim,

I understand the thing

about the girl.

That was an accident.

But now you're talking about

a double-homicide.

This could end up badly.

We can handle it.

You just gotta keep

your head in the game.

Think about what

you're asking me to do.

I don't think I can do it.

You cannot back out now.

You are in this neck-deep!

And you know it!

F***!

Drive, b*tch.

You should have taken

me up on my offer.

Could've had some money,

a job, a future.

But now you're gonna

end up a statistic.

What a waste of a life.

I told you.

You could either

take life by the balls

and get what you want

or you can play the victim.

You made the wrong choice, Kyle.

I like your bracelets.

Oh, he's gonna tell me

where the keys are.

He's gonna tell me a lot of things.

I'm gonna enjoy this.

Payback's a b*tch.

You're pathetic.

And I know why.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

You act like Mr. Big Man,

Mr. Macho,

Mr. Tough Guy,

but Mary told me the truth.

It's hard to be a tough guy

when you're only packing

four inches.

I'd keep my mouth shut

if I were you, b*tch.

(groaning )

That's old school.

That's how I interrogate a suspect.

But you--

you took it to a whole different level.

You went--

you went--

- Medieval.

- Medieval.

Yeah, that's it, like in the movie.

You went there.

And now it's my turn.

And I'm gonna do it slowly.

And I'm gonna make it hurt.

You humiliated me.

Now you're gonna pay for it.

What are you doing standing there?

Take her outside and kill her.

Come on.

Come on.

Maybe we can finish

what we started earlier.

What?

When we were partying?

Maybe we can finish that.

You'd do that?

If I could live a little longer...

and do something

I've always enjoyed.

Yeah.

I'll do it.

Yeah.

Okay '

( gasps )

We'll save that for later.

(groaning )

Ooh.

How do you like your meat, Kyle?

Rare?

Medium?

Oh, f***.

Me, I like mine well-done.

( Groaning louder)

Whoa!

No, no, no!

( Yells )

I was beginning to think

he didn't have the balls.

( Crying )

Like I said, Kyle,

life's a game.

You didn't actually think

you were going to win, did you?

( laughs )

See,

I've been winning

my whole life.

It's what I do.

Nobody beats

James Harrison.

Not you,

not anyone.

Kyle.

Are you ready?

- That wasn't so hard.

- ( screams )

- Was it?

- Get me out of this!

Bite it, bite it, bite it!

- ( Growls )

- Get it off me!

Get it off me!

Get it off!

No! Annie!

- ( Screams )

- Motherf***er!

( Screaming )

(vase smashing )

( grunting )

( screams )

( gasping and choking )

( shrieks )

MY eyes!

This is all you--

- f***ing--

- Ah!

Look at me.

Look at me.

We're gonna be okay.

We're gonna be all right.

You're gonna be okay.

This is so surreal.

It's just wrong.

Well, we got no choice.

Nothing else we can do.

Two dead cops.

We killed them.

We're never gonna find Mary's body.

Nobody's gonna believe us.

I don't wanna spend

the rest of my life

in a six-foot by eight-foot cage.

I can't believe it.

24 hours ago,

I was rolling out of bed,

just like every other day.

None of this had ever happened.

It's like another lifetime.

Annie:
I don't think Cooger

was such a bad guy.

He just got caught up

in it, like we did.

And I killed him.

He didn't deserve to die.

I saw a film once

where this guy says,

"I don't deserve to die."

And this other dude

looks at him and says,

"Deserving's got

nothing to do with it."

Then he blows his head off.

That's what I believe.

Deserving's got

nothing to do with it.

I still say if anyone deserves

to be in that hole,
