Wild Things Page #7

Tom Baxter takes her by the arm as Ray CROSSES the room to open

the door. Bryce Hunter walks out with then.

Gloria takes a seat closer to Kelly. When she speaks, she is

very calm and quiet.

GLORIA:

How are you, Kelly? Would you like to

take a break for a minute?

KELLY:

(shaking her head)

I just want to get it over with. My

mom's making me do this. I just want to

forget it.

GLORIA:

I know you do.

She waits as Ray sets up a camera on a tripod.

GLORIA (CCNT'D)

We'd like to videotape the statement if

that's all right with you.

Kelly shrugs.

GLORIA (CONT'D)

I know this is not pleasant, Kelly. But

these are serious charges and we need to

know everything that happened between

you and Mr. Lombardo.

(beat)

Are you ready?

Kelly nods.

CLOSE ON VIDEO MONITOR - KELLY'S STATEMENT

KELLY:

He started rubbing my shoulders. Said

must be sore after washing cars. I...

let him I mean he's a nice guy.

(beat)

I don't know... It was so fast. I

closed my eyes. I remember his hands

moved to my breasts. I mean just for a

second it was nice... I forgot whore I

was. I mean he's so gorgeous...

PULL BACK to REVEAL...

INT. STATION HOUSE - DAY

Ray, Gloria and Bryce Hunter stand at one end of the long

conference table, watching the playback of Kelly's tape.

BACK TO VIDEOTAPE

KELLY:

The next thing... his hand was in my

shorts... you know, from behind. His

fingers... his fingers...

GLORIA (O.S.)

Take your time.

KELLY:

They were in me. Both places... you

know.

GLORIA (O.S.)

I understand.

KELLY:

He said something like, "Do you want it

dirty7" or something.

(beat)

I tried to turn away, but he pushed me

to the floor.

GLORIA (O.S.)

Was there penetration? Did he put

himself inside you?

KELLY:

Yes. I said stop. I screamed. I mean

that's how it sounded in my head. He

hurt me...

GLORIA (O.S.)

(as Kelly breaks into

tears)

That's okay, Kelly. You're doing fine.

(beat)

But I have to ask you something here.

When you say it hurt. Was this the

first time a man was inside you?

KELLY:

No. I've done it a couple of times, I

mean with guys I dated. But this

hurt... like, he was built... you

know...

GLORIA (O.S.)

He was large?

Kelly nods, starts to break down again, then holds it off.

GLORIA (O.S., CONT'D)

Did you try to fight him?

KELLY:

I... he had my wrists pinned behind me.

I remember my hands were cold.'

GLORIA (O.S.)

Then what?

KELLY:

He kept saying, "Let it happen, let it

happen." Then he just stopped.

GLORIA (O.S.)

You mean he withdrew...

KELLY:

Not at first. He was still inside but

he wasn't moving or anything... He said

we had this secret. And that now he'd

be able to help me... because we were

close... Something like that. I don't

know. It's hard to remember, exactly.

GLORIA (O.S.)

Try, Kelly.

KELLY:

I know one thing he said. It was

when... when he took himself out and was

standing up.

(beat)

He said, "Don't worry, I didn't come."

I can't forget that. He said, "No

little girl can ever make me come."

The tape is paused -- FREEZES on Kelly's face ON SCREEN.

BACK TO RAY, GLORIA & HUNTER

HUNTER:

"No little girl can ever make me come."

Jesus. Too bad. We might have some

physical evidence.

Ray and Gloria stare at the screen.

GLORIA:

I don't know. It feels wrong.

Ray and Hunter look at her.

HUNTER:

Why?

GLORIA:

I think she's acting. I think she set

it up to be alone with him because she

wanted him to come on to her.

(beat)

I think maybe she's upset that he

didn't...

RAY:

Or maybe she thought that was what she

wanted and she got a little more than

she bargained for...

HUNTER:

The line I get on this guy, is that he's

done half the women in Blue Bay.

GLORIA:

That doesn't make him a child rapist.

(beat)

There's something else. This girl's had

some problems. Wrecked a couple of her

mom's cars. Ran away...

HUNTER:

Where's this coming from?

GLORIA:

I worked Juvenile in Dade County for

three years. We had a missing persons

on Kelly Van Ryan for two weeks... Maybe

a year ago... The family kept it out of

the papers.
