CLAUDIA ASHFORD (V.O.): I sat in my car for a while to work up the nerves. I was able to catch my breath and walked to the door. My sister answered the door. She had always been the prettiest between us. We sat there, the three of us, my sister and I and some stranger, this man, her husband that I had never met, at a dinner table I had never been to, at a house that I had never been to and we ate dinner and talked about our lives. We talked about our lives like we never stopped talking to each other. It was nice. I had a warm feeling in my stomach. I felt like I belonged there. So after dinner, we all helped clean up, then we decided to watch a movie. As we were watching the movie, about halfway through the movie, she starts to have a heart attack.

Claudia stabs Dahlia and Darren each 10 times.

CLAUDIA ASHFORD (V.O.) I panicked. I didn’t know what to do. I told Darren, since he was a doctor, to do something, and he did nothing. He just laid there. Asleep. He wouldn’t move. He didn’t move.

INT. KITCHEN TABLE - EVENING

ZELLA CHADWICK: Oh wow.

OAKLEY UPTOWN: What was your childhood like?

CLAUDIA ASHFORD: Um, We were orphans...for most of it, but luckily, the system never separated us so we always had each other. Well, she had me and all of her friends. I had her and my books. Mom was in a mental hospital, or at least that’s what they told us.

MARY ASHFORDL What?

YOUNG CLAUDIA: Can I kill her? Like end her life? I don’t like her. She gets on my nerves.

MARY ASHFORD: No, sweetie. You can’t kill her. You can’t kill anyone. There are a lot of people I don’t like but I don’t think about killing them.

YOUNG CLAUDIA: But why not? I killed daddy.

MARY ASHFORD: No you didn’t. He died in a car accident.

YOUNG CLAUDIA: No, he was dead before the car wrecked.

MARY ASHFORD: What are you talking about? Are you feeling okay? Do you need to see a doctor?

YOUNG CLAUDIA: No. I feel perfect! I just don’t like people and want to kill everyone I don’t like.

DOVIE ABBOTT: mmm! Oh, my name is actually Dovie. Not Lovie. I don’t think we have introduced ourselves to you yet.

CLAUDIA ASHFORD: No, but I’ve picked up on the names from when you all call to each other...for the most part.

DOVIE ABBOTT: Let me unofficially introduce us to you. I am Dovie. The tall athletic dude is Bellamy, he’s my boyfriend. We’ve been dating for about 2 years, but I don’t think I want to be with him anymore. I think he’s cheating on me. The other guy is named Oakley. I think he has a think for Freya actually. I always see him staring at her. Then there’s Freya-

CLAUDIA ASHFORD: I know who Freya is. Sweet girl.

DOVIE ABBOTT: Yeah, she’s sweet but she thinks she’s better than everyone else and it’s very frustrating. Zella is super quiet all the time. She doesn’t talk much. She’s really sweet, she’s just not always mentally (coughing) Present. (coughing) What did you put in this, again?

CLAUDIA ASHFORD: Oh in the tea? I put honey, chamomile, and milk.

DOVIE ABBOTT: Dairy free or diary?

CLAUDIA ASHFORD: Dairy silly. Why would I put anything else.

DOVIE ABBOTT: Because I’m allergic to it. Did you forget?

CLAUDIA ASHFORD: Would you shut up? They aren’t coming to rescue you. They are sound asleep in bed.

DOVIE ABBOTT: You’re a monster!

CLAUDIA ASHFORD: I know. I prefer it that way. It makes life more fun. Do you remember when you told me I was a deaf maid, Dovie? And how I said I wasn’t a maid?

DOVIE ABBOTT: Yeah?

CLAUDIA ASHFORD: Do you believe me now? Don’t answer that.

Claudia DRAGS Dovie to the KITCHEN, GRABS a KNIFE from a DRAWER, and CUTS off Dovie's TONGUE before she can answer. Dovie SCREAMS in pain. Claudia puts TONGUE in JAR and puts it UNDER SINK in KITCHEN. Claudia puts KNIFE in SINK.

CLAUDIA ASHFORD: No. Sorry. I haven’t seen her since last night. Maybe she wen’t for a walk?

OAKLEY UPTOWN: What?

BELLAMY KNOX: Oh nothing. I was just thinking out loud about Freya...

OAKLEY UPTOWN: About Freya?

BELLAMY KNOX: Well, no. About her saying 17:00 instead of 5:00. Like, I didn’t even know she knew the time on the 24 hour clock.

OAKLEY UPTOWN: You do know the military uses the 24 hours clock, right?

BELLAMY KNOX: Is her dad in the military?

OAKLEY UPTOWN: I don’t know, maybe.

BELLAMY KNOX: How do you not know? Aren’t you like in love with her or something?

OAKLEY UPTOWN: No, I’m not in love with her.

BELLAMY KNOX: Oh my bad, you really like her then.

OAKLEY UPTOWN: I’ve already tried. She didn’t give me an answer.

BELLAMY KNOX: So try again...and this time, don’t give her an option.

EXT. THE WOODS WITH FREYA AND ZELLA - AFTERNOON

Freya and Zella are WALKING away from the house in conversation.

ZELLA CHADWICK: Freya, how do you know the 24 hour clock? Are you an army brat?

FREYA HAWTHORNE: Kind of...but my mom and I never traveled with my father when he was in the air force. He wasn’t around much because of that but she didn’t want to take me away from my friends. And for the time, I didn’t learn it because of my father. I learned it because I got bored one day and decided to pure curiosity. So phone time over to clock to learn it. learn it out of I switched my the 24 hour

ZELLA CHADWICK: Oh. wow. I’m sorry.

FREYA HAWTHORNE: It’s okay. It helped me become who I am today and I like who I am today.

ZELLA CHADWICK: Yeah. Me too...um...Hey, can I tell you something that I saw this morning?

FREYA HAWTHORNE: Of course, what’s up? Is it about Dovie?

ZELLA CHADWICK: I don’t know. Maybe. I saw Dia putting dirty cloths in the washer...

FREYA HAWTHORNE: Dirty clothes?

ZELLA CHADWICK: No, like blood and literal dirt covered clothing...like the shovel and boots from yesterday.

FREYA HAWTHORNE: Maybe its from yesterday when she was digging her garden? She doesn’t really seem like the kind to murder. She’s...odd for sure, but murder? I don’t know.

ZELLA CHADWICK: I don’t know. We shouldn’t rule it out. It’s just strange to me that we saw the boots and the shovel and then I saw the clothes and now Dovie is gone. It just all seems to kinda add up in a weird scary way. Do you think yelling for her would be do any good?

FREYA HAWTHORNE: It can’t do any harm.

ZELLA CHADWICK: Yeah...

FREYA HAWTHORNE: DOVIE!!...DOVIE! ...DOVIE?

ZELLA CHADWICK: DOVIE! ...DOVIE ...WHERE ARE YOU?

EXT. THE WOODS WITH BELLAMY AND OAKLEY - AFTERNOON

OAKLEY UPTOWN: Is that...

BELLAMY KNOX: Zella and freya yelling for Dovie? I think it is. So when are you going to make a move on her?

OAKLEY UPTOWN: On who?

BELLAMY KNOX: On Freya, dude. We just talked about this.

OAKLEY UPTOWN: Shouldn’t we be looking for Dovie? Not talking about mine and freya’s relationship?

BELLAMY KNOX: Fine. DOVIE, BABY, WHERE’D YOU GO? COME BACK SO WE CAN GO HOME AND OAKLEY CAN GET HIS DICK WET.

OAKLEY UPTOWN: Bellamy!

BELLAMY KNOX: What? It’s true. It’s what you want.

OAKLEY UPTOWN: No. It’s not actually...not entirely anyway. I actually like her.

BELLAMY KNOX: I know. That’s your problem. You care too much.

OAKLEY UPTOWN: Maybe that’s your problem is you don’t care enough. DOVIE? WHERE ARE YOU?

BELLAMY KNOX: Oh hey, whats this?

They STOP at the BURIAL grave SITE.

OAKLEY UPTOWN: It looks like a burial site. Maybe someone was burying an animal or something.

BELLAMY KNOX: Or maybe animals just ate all the grass in this area and made it look like a burial site on accident.

OAKLEY UPTOWN: I don’t know but let’s keep going. I’ve got bad vibes right here.

BELLAMY KNOX: I wonder if she’s inside...

ZELLA CHADWICK (to Freya): Should we tell them about what I discovered?

FREYA HAWTHORNE: We can.

Zella nods.

FREYA HAWTHORNE (CONT'D): Okay so earlier, Zella told me that she saw Dia putting dirty, bloody clothing in the washer.

BELLAMY KNOX: It was probably from her digging up a garden yesterday.

OAKLEY UPTOWN: I don’t recall.

INT. ENTRYWAY - EVENING

Claudia is LISTENING to their CONVERSATION through the FRONT DOOR.

EXT. THE CABIN / HOUSE - EVENING

ZELLA CHADWICK: It’s just strange coincidence to me how we can’t find Dovie and how she was putting clothes covered in blood and dirt in the washer...without evidence of her planting a garden.

OAKLEY UPTOWN: I think you’re being paranoid. She’s probably fine and just went home. She probably got sick of Dia and her phone and thinking Bellamy was cheating on her.

ZELLA CHADWICK: Yeah. Maybe.

FREYA HAWTHORNE: Nervous? Why are you nervous?

OAKLEY UPTOWN: Because you make me nervous.

FREYA HAWTHORNE: I make you nervous? Since when?

OAKLEY UPTOWN: Well, always. Bellamy and I were talking earlier and he thinks-

FREYA HAWTHORNE: ...He thinks what?

He leans in to kiss her.

FREYA HAWTHORNE (CONT’D): Oh.

OAKLEY UPTOWN: I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have. Bellamy just-

She leans in and kisses him.

FREYA HAWTHORNE: It’s okay...but this won’t work. I’m not right for you in that way and we both know it. I’m meant to be your best friend...nothing more.

She pats his leg then goes back into the living room.
