DELIVERY MAN
I thought everyone was gone.
CHARLIE
Some of us are working overtime.
DELIVERY MAN
Sign here, please. Can’t wait till this fucking day is over.
CHARLIE
There is one more left. Wait here, I’ll get it for you.
DELIVERY MAN
No shit. One more?
CHARLIE
Just deliver it tonight and bring me the receipt tomorrow.
DELIVERY MAN
See you later, Charlie.
CHARLIE
It’s alright, honey. I don’t mind answering the door.
Work, work, work...
CHARLIE (CONT’D)
Do you realize how late it is?
CHARLIE (CONT’D)
Enough for today.
CHARLIE
Wait, I just heard something strange coming from the conference room.
I’m gonna see if anyone’s still here.
INTERVIEWER (O.S.)
Good morning Chief Howard.
CHIEF OF POLICE (O.S.)
Good morning. Where’s Scottie?
INTERVIEWER (O.S.)
His wife had a kid last night so he couldn’t make it. I’m his
assistant, Ralph, Ralph Hinkley.
CHIEF OF POLICE
Nice meeting you, Mr. Hinkley.
CHIEF OF POLICE (CONT’D)
Ok, so I guess they explained to you how this works, right? You have
ten minutes and I can’t answer any questions about the investigation.
INTERVIEWER (O.S.)
Yes, yes. Could you put your microphone on, please?
INTERVIEWER (O.S.)
So Chief, should we be scared?
CHIEF OF POLICE
It’s a complicated situation, and we don't want to be held
responsible for causing a panic.
INTERVIEWER (O.S.)
Yes but... I've never seen anything like this.
CHIEF OF POLICE
To tell you the truth, neither have I.
INTERVIEWER (O.S.)
Do you have any leads?
CHIEF OF POLICE
We’re investigating various possibilities, but it’s too soon to jump
to any conclusions.
INTERVIEWER (O.S.)
Any suspects yet?
CHIEF OF POLICE
We have a search warrant for a
Caucasian male between 28 and 35. We know he’s been stealing the
identities of multiple employees at several local companies.
INTERVIEWER (O.S.)
What about the autopsy? Any clues there?
CHIEF OF POLICE
That’s confidential.
INTERVIEWER (O.S.)
Uhmmm... Caroline Hughes, the
girl who disappeared... Can we rule out kidnapping?
CHIEF OF POLICE
No comment.
INTERVIEWER (O.S.)
What can you tell me about that tape you received?
CHIEF OF POLICE
How do you know about that?
INTERVIEWER (O.S.)
It’s a recording of what happened at the office...
CHIEF OF POLICE
Yes.
INTERVIEWER (O.S.)
I can’t reveal my sources.
CHIEF OF POLICE
That information can't be made public under any circumstance. Is that
clear?
INTERVIEWER (O.S.)
Ok. Is there any connection between the death at the Webster Office
Building and what happened at the Davenport house?
CHIEF OF POLICE
No comment.
INTERVIEWER (O.S.)
Is the FBI going to be taking over the investigation?
CHIEF OF POLICE
No comment.
INTERVIEWER (O.S.) (CONT’D)
Does this match the profile of any known serial killers?
ASSISTANT
Chief Horward, we received another tape.
INTERVIEWER (O.S.)
Chief Howard, let me see the
tape... Please... Chief!
JOSEPH
Is this the last one?
JOSEPH
Hello darling... yes, I have the tickets... 8 o'clock, I believe, so
we can have dinner before... sure...don’t worry about it... I’ll see
you tomorrow, honey.
JOSEPH
Hello?
JOSEPH
Five still cameras XT32, three mobile cameras Pandora, transponder,
installation...
SARAH
Hi dad.
JOSEPH
Hello Sarah. How was the library?
SARAH
The same as always.
What's that?
JOSEPH
A relic I just bought from Mexico.
SARAH
Another useless $10,000 piece of junk?
JOSEPH
This is a priceless statue of Ix-tab, the Mayan goddess of suicide.
It's one-of-a-kind, there are no more left in the world.
SARAH
Yeah. (Sarcastic) And I guess it's also incredibly powerful, like the
fertility stone you bought from Africa?
JOSEPH
People really believe in those things, Sarah, and they'll pay good
money for them.
JOSEPH (CONT'D)
Careful, Sarah. It's incredibly fragile.
SARAH
I don't know if it's incredible fragile, but what it is
incredibly ugly.
JOSEPH
Listen. Ix-tab is the goddess of suicide in the Mayan culture, and the
wife of Chamer, the god of death...
SARAH
Sure...
JOSEPH
... her body represents a partially rotting corpse with her eyes
closed...
SARAH
(While leaving)
Yeah dad, that's great. I'm gonna make myself a sandwich, you want
anything?
JOSEPH (O.S.)
...she used to whisper to the lost souls and guide them through the
underworld...
JOSEPH (O.S.) (CONT'D)
... This is the only statue of
her in the world, as of 2009 they had only found lithographs and
engravings.
SARAH
You finally did it!
JOSEPH
Look at this, Sarah. The image quality is amazing. Thank god because
they're very expensive.
SARAH
That's the price of turning your own house in a jail.
JOSEPH
Sarah, we've talked about this.
Don't make this hard for me.
SARAH
Hard? Hard is living knowingyou're under surveillance 24
hours a day.
JOSEPH
I wouldn't have installed them if I didn't think they were totally
necessary. You know I have very important documents at home and no
security measure is enough.
SARAH
And what happened to privacy? I'm guessing your clients don't care too
much about that, do they?
JOSEPH
This is business, Sarah. I enjoy it just as little as you.
SARAH
Sure. You know, I invited some friends for dinner tomorrow night. What
are they going to think when they see all these cameras?
JOSEPH
A dinner party? With whom?
SARAH
Alicia and some old friends from high school, but I haven't heard back
from any of them yet.
JOSEPH
If you explain them the situation I am sure they will understand.
SARAH
Right. They'll understand they're having lunch in San Quentin’s hall.
How many did you get?
JOSEPH
Eight. Come look.
SARAH
Hey, you didn't put one in my room, did you?
JOSEPH
Please, Sarah... The important thing is to protect the documents in
the office. By the way, that dinner party tomorrow... are your friends
trustworthy?
SARAH
Don't worry, I don't think any of them are interested in your secret
papers. They're just coming for dinner and we'll be out of here by the
time you're back, which I'm hoping will be very late.
JOSEPH
I'm going to dinner and a show with Lisa. (He's closing the windows on
his laptop) Then we have a party organized by the manager of Webster
Offices....
ALICIA (OFF)
Oye, para qué has traído la cámara. Para grabar la carretera.
ALICIA (OFF)
OSCAR, ¿me estás escuchando?
MEGAN
¿Are you here on vacation, Oscar?
OSCAR
Yes and no. I arrived this morning and I didn’t expect the city to be
so big. I’ve been driving around all day trying to find a bar I could
play in.
DANIEL
Good luck then.
MEGAN
If you play somewhere you should get us tickets, ok? It0s be great to
go out for a night of beers and live music, right Dani?
OSCAR
Done.
ALICIA (O.S)
Tuerce por la siguiente a la derecha, Oscar (Subtitulado: Take the
next turn right, Oscar)......(pointing at Megan with the Handy) so,
how you did you guys get together?
MEGAN
He picked me up at a bar. It was going great till he threw up on my
dress.
DANIEL
I know what you´re thinking, but I never drink, it was the fucking
Chinese food.
MEGAN
Yeah, I still remember the chunks of sweet and sour pork stuck to my
dress.
ALICIA (O.S.)
OK, OK, it all seems so romantic, but... will there be a wedding?
ALICIA
... MEGAN, you're going to look so good dressed in white.
MEGAN
White? Alicia, you're so stupid.
DANIEL
The light!
DANIEL
THE LIGHT!
DANIEL
The traffic light, shit! It´s Red!
OSCAR
Bueno, tampoco es para tanto.
DANIEL (OS)
Yeah, whatever, I'm still not riding with you again. We'll find our
way, MEGAN and I.
MEGAN
Daniel, enough!
ALCIA
Deja el coche en el garaje. Es por ahí.
SARAH
Hey guys, come in, come in.
Who else is coming?
ALICIA
It’s a surprise.
SARAH
I'll never get used to Spanish greetings.
Hey MEGAN, long time no see. You look great.
MEGAN
You too. Let me introduce you to Daniel, my boyfriend.
SARAH
Nice meeting you.
DANIEL
Nice to meet you too.
SARAH
OK, so you can leave your things here and let's go in the living room.
Feel free to make yourselves at home. Alicia, why don’t you grab us
some beers? You know where they are.
ALICIA
Marchando!
ALICIA (O.S.)
SARAAAAH, where's the juice?
SARAH
But does it upset your stomach or it's just that you never drink?
DANIEL
No, I never drink. Even if some people say I do.
SARAH
Who are you....?
OSCAR
Smile.
SARAH
Hey Oscar, what a surprise, what are you doing here?
SARAH
You brought the guitar?
OSCAR
Yes, I don’t go anywhere without her.
MEGAN
Are you gonna play something.
OSCAR
Of course. Now?
ALCIA
No, no, no, no, no…
SARAH
Yes, so exciting.
SARAH
You're finally doing your music...
OSCAR
It's not only music, it's my life.
DANIEL
It’s your life? And how do you pay rent?
OSCAR
I don’t pay rent, I don’t have a house, I’m a citizen of the world.
DANIEL
What the hell are you talking about?
OSCAR
Sorry, Mr. Wall Street capitalist, what do you want so much money for?
DANIEL
I don’t work for money, i work the citizens. I´m a police cadet.
OSCAR
You are a tool of the system.
DANIEL
At least I...
MEGAN
OK, kids. Everybody has their ideals and their ways of life. Better
than these two lazy-ass girls, still living with their parents.
SARAH
Hey, but I can't wait to leave this house...
ALICIA
What are you talking about? You live like a queen here.
SARAH
Yeah, the queen of Alcatraz.
MEGAN
Is that recording like all the time?
SARAH
Yep. 24/7.
ALICIA
That's really not cool.
OSCAR
Relax, I'll fix it.
SARAH
Leave them alone, OSCAR. Come,
Alicia, let's go get the food.
ALICIA
Was it a good surprise?
SARAH
Can’t believe it. Did you bring him from Spain.
ALICIA
No fucking way. I don’t love you that much. He was already here.
SARAH
How did you find him?
ALICIA
You remember the owner of that bar we used to go to in Madrid?
SARAH
His boss?
ALICIA
Yes, he told me he was here.
SARAH
But you didn’t even like him.
ALICIA
I brought him for you, not me.
SARAH
He’s so cute…
ALICIA
Yep, and so annoying.
SARAH
Shut up.
ALICIA
Se te nota mucho guarrilla.
SARAH
What's did you say?
ALICIA
I said, tonight is the night.
DANIEL
What are we having?
ALICIA
Chinese.
DANIEL
Please, say it´s not sweet and sour pork.
SARAH
MEGAN told me to get noodles. Why?
MEGAN
You know I take care of you, babe.
ALICIA
Sarah, don't you miss Spanish food?
SARAH
Ummm... yes. I still remember Criadillas.
SARAH
You never told me what part of the cow that was?
ALICIA
It’s not part of the cow.
OSCAR
No me jodas. Wait a second.
SARAH
Is it pork?
MEGAN
Is it part of the bull?
ALICIA
Ahá.
DANIEL
Are you shitting me?
SARAH
Bull’s… balls?
SARAH
Qué mal tocas la guitarra, mamarracho.
OSCAR
Yo también te quiero..
SARAH
¿Por qué no me das...
SARAH
...un besito?
OSCAR
Come get it...
SARAH
What did I say?
SARAH
Tú y yo...
OSCAR
…tememos asuntos pendientes.
ALICIA
Tonight is the night.
ALICIA
So I guess we're still not allowed to smoke in the house?
SARAH
Yep. You know my dad. If you wanna smoke you know where the door is.
OSCAR
Puedo grabarte fumando. Es muy sugerente.
ALICIA
OSCAR, déjame en paz un rato. ¿Por qué no grabas a Megan?
OSCAR
That's right. MEGAN, you look very well in camera.
OSCAR
You are very pretty. You have a light coming from you, you know.
MEGAN
No, I don’t know. Are all Spaniards like that?
OSCAR
Your lips are very sensual.
DANIEL
If you don't stop I'm going to make you eat that camera, pendejo.
OSCAR
I don’t understand you, gringo.
DANIEL
I’m gonna make you eat your fucking camera, comprendo?
MEGAN
Daniel. He's just messing around.
ALICIA
(a bit frightened)
What was that?
SARAH
Don't worry. It's probably just
the breakers.
SARAH (CONT'D)
I'll fix it. You wanna come with me, OSCAR?
OSCAR
Sure. After you.
MEGAN
The lights
SARAH
I’m gonna get the lights. I’ll be back in a sec.
OSCAR
Don’t take too long
MEGAN (O.S)
About time!
OSCAR
SARAH, how can you own a gun?
SARAH
It’s my dad’s. I hate those things, they scare me.
OSCAR
That makes sense, with your dad and the whole security thing. Is it
annoying?
SARAH
Like you wouldn’t believe.
OSCAR
Yeah, well... (abriendo la vitrina y dejando la pistola dentro). I’d
keep it under seven locks.
SARAH
Leave that alone and keep singing…
OSCAR
Where was I?... Oh, yeah. But this is the berst part of the song.
MEGAN
Fuck, that was weak.
ALICIA
It's alright, it's my cell phone. I'll take it outside so I can have a
smoke. See you in a bit.
DANIEL
See you.
MEGAN
Look, Danny, they have a Wii. Wanna play?
ALICIA
Si, con los del instituto...
ALICIA (CONT'D)
Joder tía, no sabes las ganas que tenía de fumarme un piti........ No,
en la casa no me dejan fumar... ya, es como una cárcel, entre las
cámaras y esto.... ¡Ah!, que no te he contado lo de las cámaras, vas a
flipar...
DANIEL
Seriously, MEGAN. I can't stand that guy.
MEGAN
Where do I plug this thing in? There are too many wires.
DANIEL
"It's not just music, it's my life". Who the fuck does he think he is?
Fucking Enrique Iglesias?
MEGAN
Please, Daniel, leave it alone.
Help me with this.
MEGAN
Oh, shit! The cameras go right into the TV. That's crazy!
DANIEL
I would have done the same.
DANIEL
If a guy like OSCAR is in my house I'd have Dobermans.
MEGAN
C'mon, leave it alone. You can be so annoying.
DANIEL
Annoying? That fucking communist bum is talking shit about our country
and I'm the annoying one?
MEGAN
Talking shit? He’s entitled to his opinion.
DANIEL
Of course, you’re on his side. Like with the handycam...
MEGAN
On his side? (Exploding) What are you like... five years old? Daniel,
don't fuck up the night.
SARAH
Wait, wait… You’re going too fast… OK?
OSCAR
Come on... Sarah...
SARAH
Let’s take it slow. Besides, look at that.
OSCAR
Joder, ¿here too? I don’t have anything left to cover them with.
MEGAN
Daniel, have you seen my purse?
DANIEL
No. Did you leave it in the car?
SARAH
Wait, stop. Did you hear that?
OSCAR
Hear what?I can't hear anything.
ALICIA
... total, una hora en el aeropuerto, mi tía Harriet con rejas en la
ventanas y el padre de Sarah con las cámaras. Lo de estos americanos
con la seguridad es increíble.
SARAH
That was a scream. Someone just screamed downstairs.
OSCAR
I'm sure it was nothing...
SARAH
Well let's at least go check it out.
OSCAR
C'mon Sarah...
MEGAN
Put her in the couch, Daniel.
SARAH
But... what the fuck is going on?
MEGAN
Sarah, this girl was locked in the trunk of the car.
SARAH
What? That's not possible.
MEGAN
Shit, yes. I went to get my bag and when I opened the trunk she was
there. I almost had a heart attack.
SARAH
Is she alive?
DANIEL
I think so.
DANIEL
Son of a bitch...
OSCAR
¿Qué pasa, a qué viene tanto jaleo?
OSCAR
¿Qué cojones estás haciendo, gilipollas?
DANIEL
Son of a bitch. Start explaining who this girl is.
OSCAR
What girl? ¿De qué coño estás hablando? What girl?
DANIEL
This girl! Who is she and what was she doing in your trunk,
motherfucker.
OSCAR
¿Pero quién coño es esta? ¿Estás de coña?
DANIEL
Look at these bruises. Speak!
ALICIA
Mónica, espera un segundo.
SARAH
You have to calm down, Daniel... Please.
MEGAN
Enough, Daniel... You're gonna kill him.
DANIEL
Kill him? What do you think he was going to do to that girl?
SARAH
Shit... We've gotta call the cops.
MEGAN
She's waking up.
SARAH
Hey... Are you OK? What’s your name?
SARAH (CONT'D)
Relax. Shhhh... calm down, you're safe now.
MEGAN
You know her?
SARAH
No...
DANIEL
Give her some room. She doesn't even know where she is. Who knows what
that son of a bitch did to her?
DANIEL (CONT'D)
Where the fuck...?
OSCAR
Ahí os quedáis, tarados de mierda.
DANIEL
He's leaving!
MEGAN
Wait, Daniel!
SARAH
What's your name?
MEGAN
Is she deaf?
SARAH
I think so.
MEGAN
Great. Now how is she gonna tell us what happened to her?
SARAH
Wait. I'll get something to write on.
DANIEL
I couldn't catch him, he's gone.
Are you alright?
MEGAN
She's deaf.
SARAH
Here. Can you write your name?
DANIEL
If she's deaf... how can she understand Sarah?
SARAH
She can probably read lips. Her name is Caroline.
DANIEL
Do you know where he went? When did he kidnap you? Why did he bring
you here?
SARAH
Enough, Daniel. Give her some room to breathe. She's scared.
MEGAN
Let's call the police. This is too much.
SARAH
Actually, she does look familiar.
DANIEL
She didn't go to school with you, did she?
SARAH
No, I would remember having a deaf classmate. We have to clean those
wounds. You wanna come with me?
DANIEL
Where are you going?
SARAH
The bathroom upstairs. There should be a first aid kit. We'll be
alright, don't worry.
MEGAN
Daniel, I can't find my cell phone.
DANIEL
Are you sure?
MEGAN
Yes. It was in my bag.
DANIEL
Maybe you dropped it in the car. Don't worry, we'll use mine.
MEGAN
I can´t believe this. I swear it was in my purse when I walked in.
DANIEL
Shit, I can't find mine either. I don't think I took it out of my
jacket.
MEGAN
Hey... didn't Alicia walk out to take a call?
SARAH
Don't worry. You're safe with us.
SARAH (CONT'D)
You know, it would be easier if you just take a shower before I clean
those cuts.
SARAH (CONT'D)
I'll be right outside, OK?
SARAH
I remember! You work for my father at the Webster Offices.
MEGAN (O.S.)
Sarah! Sarah!
SARAH
MEGAN, what's wrong?
MEGAN
Come, hurry.
SARAH
What happened?
MEGAN
We... we don't know... she was floating in the pool.
DANIEL
She's not breathing...
SARAH
Alicia... no... please... Alicia! Call an ambulance!
MEGAN
We can't find our phones.
SARAH
What?
SARAH (CONT'D)
Don't stop. I'm getting my phone.
SARAH
The land line doesn't work.
DANIEL
That's not possible. What about your cell phone?
SARAH
I can't find it anywhere.
MEGAN
Shit, shit, shit. What do we do now?
DANIEL
OSCAR is fucking with us. This is all his fault.
SARAH
Why did you stop?
DANIEL
Stop, Sarah. It's over.
SARAH
No. She's got to breathe. She has to live.
MEGAN
Hey, guys...
MEGAN (CONT'D)
Alicia's phone. There, in that puddle.
SARAH
Does it work?
DANIEL
No, but it's the only phone we have. Do you have anything to dry it?
SARAH
There's a blow dryer in my room.
DANIEL
Stay here. I'm gonna try to fix it.
MEGAN
This can't be happening.
DANIEL
Come on, come on...
MEGAN
Did you hear that?
SARAH
Hear what?
MEGAN
A phone ringing.
SARAH
I didn't hear anything.
MEGAN
Well I did. Daniel fixed it
SARAH
I'll go check, wait here...
DANIEL
Yes?
DANIEL (CONT'D)
...Hello...?
SARAH
Daniel! Does it work? Daniel?
SARAH (CONT'D)
Daniel...? What the hell...?
MEGAN
Noooo! Daniel... Daniel!
SARAH
MEGAN! Holy Shit! Daniel! What
did you do?
SARAH (CONT'D)
He's still alive, MEGAN.
MEGAN
Daniel. We have to do something. Oh my god... We have to do something!
SARAH
We can't do anything here. We have to take him inside. Help me move
him.
MEGAN
Don't move him. He could have internal bleeding or something.
SARAH
Fuck, help me. We're not safe out here.
MEGAN
Safe? From who?
SARAH
I don't know. Something is going on and it's better if we stay inside.
MEGAN
I'm not leaving him.
SARAH
Then help me get him inside!
SARAH
We have to hide, MEGAN.
MEGAN
He's really bad.
SARAH
MEGAN! There's someone in the house.
MEGAN
Daniel... my darling...don't do this to me...
SARAH
MEGAN...
MEGAN
Daniel... I'll stay here till he's better.
SARAH
MEGAN... Daniel is... Daniel is gone... We need to hide.
MEGAN
I'll stay here till he comes back.
SARAH
MEGAN, let's go!
SARAH
Caroline! Wow... you scared the hell out of me. I forgot you were
here.
SARAH
Don’t worry. It’s to protect us. There’s someone in the house.
SARAH (CONT’D)
Right, you can’t hear the alarm.
SARAH (CONT’D)
The alarm is off.
SARAH (CONT’D)
No! Wait... we'll be safe here, Caroline.
SARAH (CONT’D)
I can’t understand you.
SARAH (CONT’D)
Ok, you, me, what else?
SARAH (CONT’D)
They’re... dead. And I... I left MEGAN by herself... she... she didn’t
want to hide...
MEGAN (O.S.)
Sarah....
SARAH
MEGAN!
SARAH (CONT’D)
I have to open it. It’s MEGAN!
SARAH (CONT’D)
It’s not MEGAN...
MEGAN (O.S.)
S-a-r-a-h...
SARAH
GOD! What the hell is going on?
MEGAN!
SARAH (CONT’D)
What are you trying to say?!
SARAH (CONT’D)
Shit, I forgot the fucking bullets.
SARAH (CONT’D)
I don’t have the bullets, CAROLINE. They’re in my dad’s office.
SARAH (CONT’D)
The doorbell rang.
SARAH (CONT’D)
It’s the cops! They must’ve come ‘cause of the alarm.
SARAH (CONT’D)
Caroline, it’s our opportunity to get out of here. If we stay in the
bathroom they won’t know we're here.
SARAH (CONT’D)
Caroline... you’re coming with me. I’m not leaving you alone. I give
you my word, alright?
SARAH
Let's go. This way.
SARAH
Shit...
SARAH (CONT'D)
Wait... (She is cut off)
SARAH
Son of a bitch.
STRANGE VOICES (O.S)
... Stop... Go get Caroline...
SARAH
Caroline... no.
SARAH
Fuck...
SARAH
Son of a bitch!
SARAH (CONT'D)
Shit, shit, shit...
SARAH (CONT'D)
Come on, fuck, come on...
OSCAR
Fuck, Fuck, Shit Fuck! How could this be happening to me?
OSCAR (CONT'D)
Fuuuuck! aaargh... Goddamit!
STRANGE VOICES (V.O.)
... come back... come back to... Sarah....
SARAH
Those voices... OSCAR...
SARAH
Come on, shit... work!
SARAH (CONT'D)
No... noooo... nooooo....
STRANGE VOICES (O.S.)
Come with me, Sarah...
SARAH
Nooo... I don't wanna hear you... NOOOO...
STRANGE VOICES (O.S.)

SARAH
Dad... why... This can't behappening...
SARAH (CONT'D)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry...
CHIEF OF POLICE (O.S.)
You're still here?
INTERVIEWER (O.S.)
I’ve been waiting over an hour.
CHIEF OF POLICE
The interview is over. Get out of here.
INTERVIEWER (O.S.)
(With a strange voice)
No, this is just the beginning...
