INT.AN APARTMENT-NIGHT
An attractive girl in her twenties who exudes merely sex. She
had pacific ocean eyes, her hair was neatly tied in a bun,
some strands were stuck to her face because of sweat. She
wasn't that much of a fashionista but people did appreciate
her fashion sense because of her attractiveness.
She is sitting on the ground with her back rested on a
greyish-brown couch. A barely used PINK COLOURED GUITAR on
her right and a BLOODY VERNIER CALLIPER on her left.
THE GIRL
I always try to see the kindness in
people even though they hurt me
over and over again because that is
what I was taught to do.
Does that make me bighearted,
George?
From audiences' POV. George lays there without having
anything to say. He's dead. He's been stabbed so many times
that some flesh was lying near the untreated, open wound.
The girl bends over to check his heartbeat.
THE GIRL (CONT'D)
You're dead and I killed you.
Tears start falling from here eyes. She starts sobbing. Was
she really devasted for killing her boyfriend? Or was it just
all an act?
She lifts her head and looks to the right and starts playing
the Guitar, after what it looks like a command from someone.
She starts playing and also sings 'Treat her Right' by Roy
Heads.
Camera zooms on to the LOWER BOUT of the ACOUSTIC GUITAR. THE
GIRL'S name is revealed, EMMA.
FADE IN.
TITLE CARD APPEARS.
EMMA.
GEORGE
(He apparently seemed
nervous)
Seb, I think, I killed someone.
CUT TO:A YOUNG WOMAN'S APARTMENT
GEORGE
(whimpering)
I didn't kill her, you
motherfucker. She slit herself.
SEB
Suicide? She isn't suicidal, is
she?
GEORGE
How am I supposed to know?
SEB
(exaggerated)
You're her boyfriend!
GEORGE
(guilty)
I was.
SEB
What? When? Why?
GEORGE
Yeah, last 2 months when you went
to Cambodia. I-I-I-II..
SEB
Dude, what happened?
George stars at Seb, with guilt in his eyes. Camera zoom out,
through the window of the drivers' seat.
George starts to cry, Was he in love with her? Or was it his
fault? Seb is devastated he has never seen his friend like
this before. Seb drives sprightly to Aldo's apartment.
They get out off the car, hurriedly. George is sprinting with
Seb right behind his back, they reach third floor, using the
stairs. The lift is occupied.
SEB
(Questioning his whole
life, utter shock and
appalled.)
Martha?
MARTHA
(weary)
Seb, what are you--oh shit--can you
help--Seb...
Seb has no idea what is going on, but for sure he knew he was
looking at the right MARTHA. He had known Martha, his whole
life. The way she moved, her likings and dis-likings,
everything. WITHOUT a second thought, he went and grabbed her
by the waist and back-knees. But who was George CARRYING?
This thought made him drop Martha.
Seb hadn't even finished the thought. THE GIRL whom George
was carrying, was unconscious, her head was motionless
because of which it looked as though, she were dead.
All of a sudden, she turned her head to the right. Took out a
knife from nowhere, slit George's neck. And was racing
towards Martha and Seb, SHE was running. Seb, who never
thought quick on his feet, started to panic, looking utterly
at exhausted Martha.
THE GIRL was only few feet away, she didn't look unconscious
anymore, there was pure evilness in her eyes, but for WHAT?
She pulled out a knife pocket from her jeans, approaching
Seb, he grabbed THE GIRL'S wrist, and to their surprise,
Martha pulled out a TASER and tasered THE GIRL.
Seb looked at Martha waiting for an answer.
MARTHA (CONT'D)
She's my twin sister.
