Falsely Accused (2016) Movie Script
Help!
I'll go get the doctor.
[DEEP BREATH]
I gotta go.
Oh, my God!
Oh, thank you, God.
It's your brother.
It's Skylar.
Skylar! No.
I wouldn't be surprised if
she killed her brother.
Considering.
I mean,
she looks like a killer.
NO!!!
No...
None of this is your fault.
Get these off of me.
You gotta be quiet until
your lawyer comes, okay?
- A lawyer.
- Shh...
You better lock her up for this.
She stole a gun from my house.
Skylar was found with four
bullet holes in his chest,
a mile away from where
you crashed.
You did this!
Please. Don't even start
with that.
You were there, Jake,
you know it wasn't me.
I know that you didn't kill
Skylar. I know it.
Okay, but you have to be
very quiet...
Were you drinking last night?
Screw you, Jake, you
know I was sober!
Then why were you driving so
erratically from the party?
All I know is one minute,
things were like any other
party I've been to.
Kids raging out. Loud music
and booze. Harmless shit.
I'm out on the porch. Been
out there all of two minutes
and I see this girl leaving
the party. Upset.
No, she wasn't carrying a gun.
Jesus. What. Jake?
What are you doing here?
Sorry, Shelly. I just wanted to
make sure everything was okay.
You freaked me out.
Everything's fine.
What are you doing sneaking
around out here?
I'm not sneaking around. I came
for a noise complaint and I saw
you out here on the road and I
thought something was wrong.
Oh. I'm here on standby.
I'm Skylar's D.D.
I'm not here by choice.
I'm gonna pretend I
didn't hear that.
Underage drinking is major
problem, Shelly.
Now, it's my duty to...
[NOISE]
Did you hear that?
You're not... you're not
scared, are you?
What, me? Who's scared.
Ok. Just-- you-- stay here...
Smooth. Sticking right here.
[SPRAY PAINTING]
[PARTY CHATTER]
Whoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo!
Boys, boys, boys, this right
here is my inheritance.
Wow, that is nice. Dude.
Check that out.
Take a swig of that right there.
A little bit of moonshine.
[MUMBLES AND LAUGHTER]
These are so expensive.
Put a little hair on your
chest right there.
Who's there?
I knew you were scared.
Jesus, Shelly, I told
you to wait.
Don't you listen to anyone?
Hey man. Turn 'em.
Turn 'em?
Dude, these things are awesome.
I can see clear as day
through these.
Damn right.
We're all sorts of ready for
the Chinese invasion.
[LAUGHTER]
Oh dude... Twelve O'clock.
Oh, I see em.
Yea. Got em? Got eyes?
[GUNSHOT]
Nice. Good call. Good call.
You see somethin'?
Got eyes. Got eyes for you.
Where?
MUSIC
See? Told you that it
was nothing.
Hey.
No, no, no, don't run.
Stop!
[BODY FALL]
[SCREAM]
Oh my God.
Help!
Hey man, I think I just
heard your sister.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah, I did.
You sure?
Yeah.
Shelly?
[VOMIT]
Dude, she drank way too much.
Sh... Shelly...
Get in the truck.
Shelly, are you okay?
No, I'm not okay.
Get in the truck.
We have to get out of
here right now.
Dude, she's totally off
her face, man.
If you stay here, you die.
Get in the truck.
Okay, let's just go,
let's go. Come on!
[TRUCK DOOR SLAMS]
[TRUCK STARTS]
Dude, what's going on?
I don't know, I have no clue.
Shelly, tell us what's going
on. What happened?
Dude, where are we going?
Shelly! I have no clue, man.
Shelly!
[WHIMPERING]
Oh my God.
Shell, where are we going?
Shelly. Shelly!
Where are you taking us, Shelly?
Pull over, Shelly.
Shelly!
[HITS TRUCK]
Shut up!
You need to slow down.
Where are we going?
Oh my god.
I need somewhere safe.
[HEAVY BREATHING]
[CAR SLAMS ON BRAKES]
No, please, no, no!
Where did you get the
unregistered hunting rifle?
They're Gus and
Jeremy Lambert's.
You should be questioning the
Lamberts, not her.
It's time for you to go.
Go... go...
Jake, it's time for you to go!
Go!
That's it. Go. Come on.
Right now. You go. Leave!
[DOOR OPEN]
[SOBBING] Get these off of me.
[DOOR CLOSE]
[SNIFFLE]
I can't believe that we're
burying you, Sky.
You know they all think
that I did it.
But, I would never hurt you.
It should be me in that
casket, Sky. Not you.
It should be me.
We're gonna get you home
and you're gonna
get some sleep, okay?
[SNIFFLE]
MUSIC
Jeremy, can I talk to you?
I'll catch up with you.
I know you still hold a lot
of anger towards Shelly.
And?
Have you been drinking?
What do you want?
You can't keep blaming Shelly.
Your family never quits.
Not even when we're burying
your nephew can you keep your
God damned opinions to yourself!
Jeremy,
if you forgive her, the Lord
will surely forgive you.
Is that all?

You just can't learn to

[HEAVY WIND THROUGH STALKS]
Hey.
Jesus, Gus.
Just got back in town. I wasn't
expecting company.
I was just around.
You know, Shelly. You just need
something, you can just knock.
And Jeremy's not home.
He's out on the combine.
Besides, he ain't going nowhere
with nobody after that party.
Dead kids,
guns missing,
cops everywhere.
I didn't mean it like that.
Should never of happened.
What should have never
happened, Gus?
You know...
about Skyler.
So you do know his name?
He's not just some dead kid?
Yeah, I know his name.
I'm sorry.
Who's upstairs, Gus?
Nobody.
I told you...
Where are you going?
I told you Jeremy's not here.
What are you talking about?
He's not here.
What... What are you doing?
You don't just barge
into my house.
Get your hands off of me!
I'm not the, I'm not the, look,
you gotta get out--
Get your hands off!
[KICK GROIN]
[GRAB RIFLE]
You get outta here before I
put a bullet in you!
You don't scare me, Gus.
I know she's upstairs.
I saw her.
[COCKS RIFLE]
Another step and I'll put you
right where you belong.
Next to your brother.
Try me.
You are crazy.
[POLICE SIRENS]
Just like everyone says.
You are crazy.
[SIRENS CONTINUE]
[CARS APPROACH]
Well, there ya go.
I got a trespasser right here!
[RIFLE DOWN]
[YANKS HANDCUFFS]
Did you call my Aunt yet?
No answer.
Now, keep quiet
until we come get you!
I kept quiet all night.
You have to call my aunt.
[YANKS HANDCUFFS]
Can I at least get some Advil?
[LAUGHING]
You can't just put innocent
people in jail.
Innocent?
That's funny.
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, keep laughing.
Karma's a bitch.
You better get
comfortable, Shelly.
Breaking and entering.
Good one. Thanks for that.
[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]
What's her bail?
Ten percent of the bail
amount, which is...
five hundred.
Done.
You sure you wanna do that?
And you are?
Her loan shark.
Not a smart move, Buddy.
Not smart at all.
So, where do I sign?
Right there.
Let's get out of here.
Seriously,
I don't even
know who you are.
Well, you could find
out or you could
hang around here with
these morons.
[DOOR CLOSE]
[CAR APPROACH]
Nice ride.
It's uh... you know,
not exactly suited for
Wisconsin winters. But, yeah.
Yeah well, thank God
it's still summer.
So are you gonna tell me
who you really are?
I'm just some, uh,
some dude who wanted to bail a
crazy chick out of jail.
Is that so hard to believe?
Yes.
It doesn't feel so good when
people don't believe you,
now does it?
Well, for what's it worth,
I don't think you're crazy.
Who told you that I'm crazy?
Really?
Whatever, man. I don't
give a shit.
Yes, you do.
Uh, no. You're twisting things.
I'm not twisting things.
You either killed you brother
and your dad or you didn't.
Whoa. You need to get
your facts straight.
My dad died in a hunting
accident
and I don't even know what
happened to my brother yet.
So, you need to stop accusing
people that you don't even know.
I'm not accusing you.
I'm just...
You're feisty.
You think that's feisty?
Want breakfast?
[QUIET DINER]
So, are you gonna...
you gonna thank me for
bailing you out?
You know it cost me some dough.
You can't buy my trust.
Alright. Consider it a loan.
I still don't see any reason
why I should trust you.
Do you trust anyone?
Yeah...
Animals.
Oh, good.
Part monkey.
(CHUCKLES)
Okay, besides animals...
No one?
Friends, Family?
You know, I think it's my turn
to start asking questions.
Who the hell are you?
Roy.
And do you trust anyone, Roy?
Myself.
What about your parents?
My parents' sole priorities
are money and power.
What really happened the other
night at the party?
What are you, some sort
of narc they sent
to try and get information
out of me?
No.
I don't believe that.
You obviously have some
sort of agenda.
Of course I do.
Don't we all?
I don't.
Well then why are you here?
You're the only person in this
town I've never seen before.
Not once. Do you even
go to school?
Nah, I've been...
I've been kicked out a few.
You know, we are a lot alike.
You and me.
We're truth warriors.
We live in this podonk town
with a bunch of dimwits...
who don't want to
know the truth.
Trying to pin the
unknown on you.
And I know what they are trying
to say that happened,
really didn't happen.
So, screw them.
We...
can figure this out.
A huge part of me
really wants to...
...but I know that'll
never be good enough.
You know, there's been times
I've laid here for hours.
Mmm-hmm.
So this is where you
bring all the girls.
Hardly.
I haven't actually brought
anyone up here.
Wh-- What? I haven't. Seriously.
Do you think I have
anything to talk about
with the debontes in this town?
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, maybe not.
Well, this is where I, um...
I go to get away from my
parents place.
Which is often.
I can't believe I grew
up here and...
...I never even knew this
place existed.
Well, I've had a lot of alone
time on my hands.
Well, you picked a...
...a great spot to come
clear your head.
At least you can try.
It just feels like whenever I...
...clear my head, it manages
to fill...
...right back up again.
Yeah, I hear you.
Where do you go to get
away from things?
The river.
What do you think about?
Anything. Everything.
Too much.
I don't know, it's
like you said.
The more I try to clear my head,
the cloudier it becomes.
And then I get these really
intense headaches
where I can barely see straight,
and lately,
they've been happening a lot
more than normal.
I can't help but wonder if
I'd be better off...
I wonder if anyone would notice
if I just never returned.
A part of me thinks that...
all those moving particles
up there...
it's just death and
movement, like,
there's a collective
energy to it.
That right there. That's it.
It doesn't look like a bad
place to be, does it?
[Roy] No, I don't know.
To me, it's just a
bunch of uh...
...planetary weather patterns.
Sure, it's pretty, like a
snowflake, but...
...an afterlife in the sky? No.
Yeah, absolutely. It could be.
Sorry.
But...
I don't know, I've seen--
I've seen faces,
hands, whole bodies,
Dancing in the sky in
some sort of
deliberate supernatural
harmony.
Well, to me it looks like
melting marshmallows.
Makes me want a rice
krispies treat.
[LAUGHTER]
What? I love rice
krispy treats.
Alright, we really should
get going.
The more time we spend here,
the less likely we are
to find Skylar.
So, let's go find my
dad's bike.
Let's go.
Okay.
[CAR APPROACHING]
[CAR PULLING UP]
[ENGINE OFF]
[DOOR CLOSE]
That's him.
[ROY] Definitely looks like a
guy who would
keep a little girl in his attic.
[SHELLY] Yeah.
I hate to think so but I
really think it's true.
He was on the hunting
trip with my dad.
They grew up hunting together...
...and he was on the exact same
trip the day my dad was killed.
I used to go in and out of
that house with no problem.
The first time I try to go in
in a long time,
and we've got a serious issue.
Are you sure she's up there?
The same exact girl
that was there
the day my brother was shot.
It's so weird.
It's like she knows I'm the only
one who wants to help her.
Hmm...
I haven't told anyone yet
because they are all just
gonna to think that I'm crazy.
But, I know that she
knows something.
Well, in all fairness, it
does sound a little...
Yeah, I know, I know.
But, I just know that something
isn't right.
I also need to go in there to
get some more bullets.
I've got a really strong
feeling that they were the
exact same ones that were
used to kill Skyler.
[ATV PULLING UP]
Shit. It's Jeremy.
[RIFLE COCK]
I know you're here!
I don't think he's
talking to us.
What if it's the little girl?
Maybe she's been trying
to escape?
You better come out before I
have to come in a find you.
I can hear you!
[BARN DOOR CREAK OPEN]
[CAR APPROACHES]
[DISTANT CHATTER]
It's Jake.
Okay. Once he's gone, we gotta
get out of here. Okay?
Okay.
[CHATTER CONTINUES...]
Okay, go!

[CAR DOOR SLAM]
[ENGINE SPUTTERS]
Aw, shit!
[ENGINE SPUTTERS]
Does this happen a lot?
No, not at all. Maybe the
battery's shot.
No, I doubt that. I'm
popping the hood.
[HOOD POPS OPEN]
Um, do you have a screwdriver?
No.
How about a dime?
Quick, Quick.
[DOOR SLAM]
This can't be happening...
What are you doing?
Okay.
Try it now. Try it now.

[CAR SLOW APPROACH]
[ENGINE OFF]
[CAR DOOR CLOSE]
[DOOR CREAKS AND OPENS]
Oh, Shelly! Where have you been?
They didn't call you?
Who was supposed to call me?
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable is right.
You can't just disappear
like this.
You have to stay in touch with
me at all times.
Whatever. I'm not some kid.
Really, Shell? With everything
that's going on?
Imagine me here worried sick
thinking the worst.
We have to stay in constant
contact, okay?
Okay. I get it.
Hello? Aunt Beth?
Hi, I'm Shelly's boyfriend.
Roy.
Nice-- to meet you.
(CHUCKLE)
Nice to meet you.
So, you're alright?
I tried to reach you over a
dozen times last night.
My phone ran out of battery.
Well, then charge it. Mmm hmm?
Really, just figure out a way to
stay in touch with me. Please.
Okay, I will.
Shelly and I are going to spend
a lot of time together
if that's alright with you.
Uh, I don't see why not.
As long as you make sure that
she calls her Aunt.
Deal.
Okay, well, I'm pulling a
double. I got the night shift.
There's macaroni salad
in the fridge.
It's really delicious.
So help yourself.
Thank you, Ma'am. You have
a great night.
Ma'am?
(CHUCKLE)
I love you, Shell.
I love you, too.
Take the bag?
Yeah.
[ZIPPING UP BAG]
Me and my dad, we used to ride
this every Sunday.
It's one hell of a bike.
Yeah.
So, you ready?
Yea, I uh...
...I've been ready.
Okay. Well...
So, uh-- just--
hop on?
Yeah. Just hop on.
What's the matter?
Oh, um, it's just
I-- I... never...
Oh, you're a first timer?
Yeah, something like that.
Okay.
I know, I know. My parents are
super risk adenturers, but...
I make due. I make my
own decisions.
Ok, well, um, Don't be nervous.
And hang on tight.

Okay, the sting, it should
subside soon.
Damn it.
We gotta just wrap it up,
okay?
God, this place is a hell hole.
I'll go upstairs.
Down that way,
see if I can find the bullets,
or anything, alright?
Oh, come on.

You ain't getting out of

Oh, Rocky?
Come here, pup.
Come here, boy.
Jeremy, is that you?
What?
Where the hell have you been?
Pop, I've been out. I told you
I was going out this morning.
Going out? We-- we had a
breech here tonight.
Somebody broke into the house.
Well, did you take care of it?
No, I didn't take care of it.
You come on over here.
Sit on down.
This is your mess.
Pop, I'm gonna take care of it.
Yeah, right.
God damn it!
[WIND THROUGH STALKS]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Shelly...
Thank God you made it out.
Thank God we made it out.
That was insane!
That guy wants you dead.
He was-- he was ready to...
I know. Because they know
I'm onto them.
You've got to be careful.
Careful is not an option.
Look, I know you want answers
and I know you want them now,
but we've gotta be smart.
Look, Roy, I saw her in there.
That same girl that was there
the day my brother was killed
and she has to know something.
Who's gonna believe us?
I mean, we're just gonna say
we broke in and we saw her?
I know. I know. We need hard
evidence before we can get
a search warrant on that place.
We need to think this through.
I've got the perfect
place for that.
Okay. Let's go there. Now.
Oh my-- unbelievable.
I know.
You can see everything
from up here.
I thought we could map out our
master plan from up here.
Well, good call.
You know, I've been here for
five years and...
...I haven't made a single
friend...
until you.
We have to find her.
What?
The little girl. We have
to find her.
Did you even listen to
anything I just said?
Of course I was listening
to what you just said,
but I obviously have other
things on my mind too.
You know, It's been
a long night.
Oh, no. Don't start with me,
Roy. Not you, too.
I was just saying that maybe
we should get some sleep
so we can make better
decisions for tomorrow.
I'm sick of people telling
me what I need.
Well, maybe you shouldn't be.
Maybe you should
respect the fact that I'm
trying to help you.
Oh, please.
Shelly.
You know what? There's no
rest for the weary, Roy.
[MOTORCYCLE RUNNING]
[CAR PEEL OUT]
[TIRES SCREECH]
What do you mean you
don't know where she is?
What do you mean?
I-- I've been looking all over

Well, she's not here.
Please find her.
[CAR DRIVING FAST]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]
I'm doing everything I can
but nobody believes me.
It's like I'm the only sane one
and nobody gives a shit.
[CAR APPROACHING]
Surprised to see you.
Figured I might find you here.
Yeah, well.
Skylar would have believed you.
Yeah.
He's the only one.
You know, you should go.
Go!
I don't need you.
Or anybody else.
I can just...
you know I can figure
this out on my own.
So, that's it, then?
It's all about you.
Look, you may think that
you don't need me and--
and that's fine...
...but, what about the fact
that I need you?
Doesn't that mean anything
to you?
Of course it means something
to me.
[CRICKETS]
Uh!
Umph!
What are you doing here?
Oh, my God. Wait. No,
you need help. Hey!
Wait! Let me help you.
Wait, I wanna help you. Hey!
[LITTLE GIRL LAUGHS]
[CAR DRIVING]
Shelly!
Sheesh. I've been looking
all over for you.
I woke up and you were gone.
What happened?
The little girl. I saw her.
[ROY SCOFFS]
No, I did, Roy. Seriously.
She was right there in
front of me.
I was so close to her.
Look, the best thing we can do
right now is get you some rest.
No, I can't just leave
her out here.
She's all by herself.
You need to get in the car.
You're running on fumes, okay?
Let me take you home so you
can get some rest.
Okay.
[CAR DRIVING]
That's--
That's strange.
Aunt Beth is usually still at
work at this time.
Why don't I come in with you?
Oh...
No, you don't have to do that.
I insist.
[CAR DOOR SHUT]
[DOOR CREAK OPEN]
Aunt Beth?
Jesus, Shell! When was the
last time you were here?
The other day. With you.
Aunt Beth are you home?
Aunt Beth, where are you?
Shell!
Aunt Beth.
No!... no.
Aw, Jesus!
Please, no, no, NO, NO, NO!
Jesus.
God.
What the--
[SHELLY THROWS UP]
Jesus.
Shelly!
[SHELLY LAUGHS]
We need to get you out
of here, Okay?
No.
We gotta go.
No! Stop it, Roy.
Stop. I can't.
You can. We have to go. We
have to call the police.
No! Don't you dare!
Are you kidding? We need
to report this.
No, do you know what they'll
do to me?
If we report it this?
Who?
The cops.
Why would they do anything
to you?
[SOBBING]
No, no, please don't be dead.
Ok Shelly. You're not acting
rationally. I'm gonna call.
I'm going to call.
No, do you want them to
lock me up forever?
No.
Well, then we can't call.
That's exactly what they do.
That's exactly what they
want and I know it.
Ok... ok just--
just relax.
No, no, no, no.
Do not tell me to relax. Okay?
We have to sort this out.
We have to figure something out.
Oh, God.
Uh, we have to cover this up.
We have to cover this up.
Shelly, what? No!
Yes. Roy, this is the only way.
This is the
ONLYway, okay?
Okay. No.
This is--
You don't know these people.
Do you want them to lock me up?
This is crazy. I can't.
I can't do that.
Roy, we are both in too deep.
And you know it. Okay?
Why do you think Jake was at
Gus's house that night?
They're all in on this.
They killed my entire family.

I'm really sorry about what
happened with your brother.
We're all praying for you.
Thank you.
I'm looking for Beth.
She hasn't been at work
the last couple nights...
...and she hasn't called
or nothing. Is she here?
Um, actually, I was just
upstairs and I didn't see her.
So, I don't think she's here.
So... Shelly...

Everything's fine.
You want me to have her give
you a call when she gets home?
Yeah.

He's not here. You should
know that.
Jake.
Surprise.
What? Are you stalking me now?
Dream on. Come on I have to take
you in for questioning.
The hell you do.
I'm out on bail. And I've
done nothing.
That's questionable.
What? Are you going to
arrest me?
Shelly, Beth's missing.
What are you talking about?
You don't seem very
upset by that.
I don't believe you.
Are you gonna come with me
by choice,
or is this gonna be by force?
MUSIC
[CRICKETS]
I told you. I haven't been
home in almost a week.
I find that hard to believe.
The thing is...
we spoke to Beth's coworker,
Samantha Hillard.
And she said she saw you at the
house just two days ago.
Acting strange.
I've been with Roy Gainey since
he bailed me out.
And if you don't believe me,
you can just ask him.
That's kind of impossible,
Shelly.
Considering Roy Gainey is in the
ICU down at St. Mark's.
Shot in cold blood at his
own home.
Farmhand found him
this afternoon
hanging to his life by a thread.
But, I'm guessing that is not
a surprise to you.
[whimpering]
I have to get out of here.
Not so fast.
Jake, we both know how
this works.
You can't keep me here...
...unless you have proof
that I belong here,
which we both know--
Your paranoia and lack
of cooperation
could be considered evidence
enough by a judge and jury.
Oh, well "could" is not really
gonna cut it.
Where's Beth, Shelly?
I really don't know.
You do know.
And as soon as I figure it out,
I'm going to have you tried as
an adult and thrown in prison
for the rest of your life.
- I don't know!
I don't know where she is!
I don't know!
I don't know.
And I need to get out of
here now.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Roy!
We expected you to show up.
Sir, I'm--
I know who you are.
Is Roy okay?
Don't talk. Just listen.
Before you came around, Roy
was doing just fine,
minding his own business.
And now all of a sudden this?
And don't think we don't know
about you...
...because we are well aware.
I'm--
I'm sorry.
Save it. He doesn't want
to see you.
Things just aren't well.
I don't know.
What?
We haven't lost yet.
It's just far from here.
You're not making any sense.
What part of "he doesn't want to
see you" don't you understand?
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[WATER RIPPLES]
It's not your fault.
Hey.
They did this. Not you.
You're following me.
Wait! Where are your parents?
I don't have parents.
No, please wait. Let me
help you.
There you go. You need anything?
Uh, no, thank you. That's fine.
- Local authorities
are still searching for ten
year old Geneva resident,
Ariel Baxter.
Ariel was reported missing
from her home
in Geneva last
December.
Authorities are asking that
if you have any tips,
to call the number on
the screen.
Back to you, Steve.
Nurse! Nurse.
What can I do for you?
Could you rewind that for me?
Oh, no, the hospital doesn't
have DVR.
Damn it.
I'm sorry. It's a pretty nice
place, but it's not the Marriot.
You got to unhook me.
No, I'm gonna call your parents.
They wanted to stay--
Do not call them!
Look, I'm an adult and you
will not call them.
We got something.

I'm so sorry, Shelly.
You don't have to say
anything, Roy.
I do.
You were right, Shelly.
I saw the girl on the news.
She's here.
They must be keeping her here
because of the murders.
I know.
I know.
[WIND THROUGH CORN STALKS]
Ok, small footprints. Anything?
[sigh]
There's nothing.
Damn it.
I really wish that girl said
something to you
while you were in the house.
She's scared shitless.
She's seen what those animals
can do. I don't blame her.
Wait...
- Roy.
- Huh?
Did you hear that?
Hear what?
That.
It's just the wind.
It's the sound of a little
girl's voice.
We gotta go find it. Come on.
Mr. and Mrs. Gainey.
This girl should not be out
on the loose.
Putting all of our kids
in danger.
I promise you, Ma'am. We are
working diligently on this.
We couldn't do anything until
we had--
Blood on your hands?
Our best officers are out
there searching...
...and it's a small town.
When our son ran away from his
last school in Milwaukee,
we had a tracking app put
on his phone.
He is with her.

Time is running out.
I'm going back in there tonight
with my dad's Glock .45.
Shelly, I'm doing this with you.
No, you're not.
I don't want anything else
to happen to you.
- Mmmm. Too late.
[RIFLE COCKS]
Drop it.
Drop it!
[GUN FALLS]
You two think you can keep
snooping around my property
and get away with it?
You think you can keep on
murdering people
and get away with it?
Well hey, now.
There's only one murderer here
and it ain't me.
Oh, Shit.
Shell, Shell, Shell.
You really are a piece of work.
Coming around here with all
this crap.
You really should be thrown
in the loony bin.
Just like your mom.
Come on, take it easy with her.
We are just trying to
figure out--
You should really stay
out of this.
[THUD]
Stop.
Just don't, okay?
What exactly are you two
planning on doing
in my house tonight anyway?
I know she's in there,
and I know you killed
my brother.
You've really lost it, Shell.
[LAUGHTER]
Enough with the "Shelly's
crazy" bullshit.
My Dad? My Aunt? Skylar?
How could you do all these
horrendous things?
You wanted to destroy me?
Get a grip!
A grip...
A fucking grip...
Really, Jeremy?
Look who's talking.
I'd say I've handled everything
pretty damn well,
considering I risked everything
to cover up the truth for you
and you then you just choose
to cut me off
like I met nothing to you.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Your boy doesn't know.
[LAUGHTER]
Pretty boy didn't know.
She murdered her father.
Pushed him off the tree stand.
Drove her own mom into the
crazy house.
That's not true.
See? She's convinced herself
that none of it ever happened.
The girl is completely
delusional.
Maybe I should have never said
I saw your dad fall.
I just thought it was the only
way I could save us.
Guess I was wrong.
What are you gonna do, Shell?
You don't move until I tell
you to, pretty boy.
Is any of this true, Shelly?
You just don't understand the
rich family history we share.
Shelly will always come
back to me.
Won't you, Shell?
But let's get one thing
straight. Once and for all.
You're a cold blooded killer.
You hear me, Shell?
Hey!
Hey.
Watch out!
[GUNSHOT]
I-- I told you all.

I'll go get the doctor.
[DEEP BREATH]
I gotta go.
Oh, my God!
Oh, thank you, God.
It's your brother.
It's Skylar.
Skylar! No.
I wouldn't be surprised if
she killed her brother.
Considering.
I mean,
she looks like a killer.
NO!!!
No...
None of this is your fault.
Get these off of me.
You gotta be quiet until
your lawyer comes, okay?
- A lawyer.
- Shh...
You better lock her up for this.
She stole a gun from my house.
Skylar was found with four
bullet holes in his chest,
a mile away from where
you crashed.
You did this!
Please. Don't even start
with that.
You were there, Jake,
you know it wasn't me.
I know that you didn't kill
Skylar. I know it.
Okay, but you have to be
very quiet...
Were you drinking last night?
Screw you, Jake, you
know I was sober!
Then why were you driving so
erratically from the party?
All I know is one minute,
things were like any other
party I've been to.
Kids raging out. Loud music
and booze. Harmless shit.
I'm out on the porch. Been
out there all of two minutes
and I see this girl leaving
the party. Upset.
No, she wasn't carrying a gun.
Jesus. What. Jake?
What are you doing here?
Sorry, Shelly. I just wanted to
make sure everything was okay.
You freaked me out.
Everything's fine.
What are you doing sneaking
around out here?
I'm not sneaking around. I came
for a noise complaint and I saw
you out here on the road and I
thought something was wrong.
Oh. I'm here on standby.
I'm Skylar's D.D.
I'm not here by choice.
I'm gonna pretend I
didn't hear that.
Underage drinking is major
problem, Shelly.
Now, it's my duty to...
[NOISE]
Did you hear that?
You're not... you're not
scared, are you?
What, me? Who's scared.
Ok. Just-- you-- stay here...
Smooth. Sticking right here.

[MUMBLES AND LAUGHTER]
These are so expensive.
Put a little hair on your
chest right there.
Who's there?
I knew you were scared.
Jesus, Shelly, I told
you to wait.
Don't you listen to anyone?
Hey man. Turn 'em.
Turn 'em?
Dude, these things are awesome.
I can see clear as day
through these.
Damn right.
We're all sorts of ready for

Jeremy, can I talk to you?
I'll catch up with you.
I know you still hold a lot

Have you been drinking?
What do you want?
You can't keep blaming Shelly.
Your family never quits.
Not even when we're burying

I was just around.

He's out on the combine.
Besides, he ain't going nowhere

Should never of happened.

happened, Gus?
You know...
about Skyler.
So you do know his name?
He's not just some dead kid?
Yeah, I know his name.
I'm sorry.
Who's upstairs, Gus?
Nobody.
I told you...
Where are you going?
I told you Jeremy's not here.
What are you talking about?
He's not here.

Ten percent of the bail
amount, which is...
five hundred.
Done.
You sure you wanna do that?
And you are?
Her loan shark.
Not a smart move, Buddy.
Not smart at all.
So, where do I sign?

Let's get out of here.
Seriously,
I don't even

Nice ride.
It's uh... you know,
not exactly suited for
Wisconsin winters. But, yeah.
Yeah well, thank God
it's still summer.
So are you gonna tell me
who you really are?
I'm just some, uh,
some dude who wanted to bail a
crazy chick out of jail.
Is that so hard to believe?
Yes.
It doesn't feel so good when
people don't believe you,
now does it?
Well, for what's it worth,
I don't think you're crazy.
Who told you that I'm crazy?
Really?
Whatever, man. I don't
give a shit.
Yes, you do.
Uh, no. You're twisting things.
I'm not twisting things.
You either killed you brother
and your dad or you didn't.
Whoa. You need to get
your facts straight.
My dad died in a hunting
accident
and I don't even know what
happened to my brother yet.
So, you need to stop accusing
people that you don't even know.
I'm not accusing you.
I'm just...
You're feisty.
You think that's feisty?
Want breakfast?
[QUIET DINER]
So, are you gonna...
you gonna thank me for
bailing you out?
You know it cost me some dough.
You can't buy my trust.
Alright. Consider it a loan.
I still don't see any reason
why I should trust you.
Do you trust anyone?
Yeah...
Animals.
Oh, good.
Part monkey.
(CHUCKLES)
Okay, besides animals...
No one?
Friends, Family?
You know, I think it's my turn
to start asking questions.
Who the hell are you?
Roy.
And do you trust anyone, Roy?
Myself.
What about your parents?
My parents' sole priorities
are money and power.
What really happened the other
night at the party?
What are you, some sort
of narc they sent
to try and get information
out of me?
No.
I don't believe that.
You obviously have some
sort of agenda.
Of course I do.
Don't we all?
I don't.
Well then why are you here?
You're the only person in this
town I've never seen before.
Not once. Do you even
go to school?
Nah, I've been...
I've been kicked out a few.
You know, we are a lot alike.
You and me.
We're truth warriors.
We live in this podonk town
with a bunch of dimwits...
who don't want to
know the truth.
Trying to pin the
unknown on you.
And I know what they are trying
to say that happened,
really didn't happen.
So, screw them.
We...
can figure this out.
A huge part of me
really wants to...
...but I know that'll
never be good enough.
You know, there's been times
I've laid here for hours.
Mmm-hmm.
So this is where you
bring all the girls.
Hardly.
I haven't actually brought
anyone up here.
Wh-- What? I haven't. Seriously.
Do you think I have
anything to talk about
with the debontes in this town?
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, maybe not.
Well, this is where I, um...
I go to get away from my
parents place.
Which is often.
I can't believe I grew
up here and...
...I never even knew this
place existed.
Well, I've had a lot of alone
time on my hands.
Well, you picked a...
...a great spot to come
clear your head.
At least you can try.
It just feels like whenever I...
...clear my head, it manages
to fill...
...right back up again.
Yeah, I hear you.
Where do you go to get
away from things?
The river.
What do you think about?
Anything. Everything.
Too much.
I don't know, it's
like you said.
The more I try to clear my head,
the cloudier it becomes.
And then I get these really
intense headaches
where I can barely see straight,
and lately,
they've been happening a lot
more than normal.
I can't help but wonder if
I'd be better off...
I wonder if anyone would notice
if I just never returned.
A part of me thinks that...
all those moving particles
up there...
it's just death and
movement, like,
there's a collective
energy to it.
That right there. That's it.
It doesn't look like a bad
place to be, does it?
[Roy] No, I don't know.
To me, it's just a
bunch of uh...
...planetary weather patterns.
Sure, it's pretty, like a
snowflake, but...
...an afterlife in the sky? No.
Yeah, absolutely. It could be.
Sorry.
But...
I don't know, I've seen--
I've seen faces,
hands, whole bodies,
Dancing in the sky in
some sort of
deliberate supernatural
harmony.
Well, to me it looks like
melting marshmallows.
Makes me want a rice
krispies treat.
[LAUGHTER]
What? I love rice
krispy treats.
Alright, we really should
get going.
The more time we spend here,
the less likely we are
to find Skylar.
So, let's go find my
dad's bike.
Let's go.
Okay.
[CAR APPROACHING]
[CAR PULLING UP]
[ENGINE OFF]
[DOOR CLOSE]
That's him.
[ROY] Definitely looks like a
guy who would
keep a little girl in his attic.
[SHELLY] Yeah.
I hate to think so but I
really think it's true.
He was on the hunting
trip with my dad.
They grew up hunting together...
...and he was on the exact same
trip the day my dad was killed.
I used to go in and out of
that house with no problem.
The first time I try to go in
in a long time,
and we've got a serious issue.
Are you sure she's up there?
The same exact girl
that was there
the day my brother was shot.
It's so weird.
It's like she knows I'm the only
one who wants to help her.
Hmm...
I haven't told anyone yet
because they are all just
gonna to think that I'm crazy.
But, I know that she
knows something.
Well, in all fairness, it
does sound a little...
Yeah, I know, I know.
But, I just know that something
isn't right.
I also need to go in there to
get some more bullets.
I've got a really strong
feeling that they were the
exact same ones that were
used to kill Skyler.
[ATV PULLING UP]
Shit. It's Jeremy.
[RIFLE COCK]
I know you're here!
I don't think he's
talking to us.
What if it's the little girl?
Maybe she's been trying
to escape?
You better come out before I
have to come in a find you.
I can hear you!

stay in touch with me. Please.
Okay, I will.
Shelly and I are going to spend

if that's alright with you.
Uh, I don't see why not.
As long as you make sure that
she calls her Aunt.
Deal.

Yeah. Just hop on.
What's the matter?
Oh, um, it's just

Oh, you're a first timer?

Oh, Jesus!
Okay, the sting, it should
subside soon.
Damn it.
We gotta just wrap it up,
okay?
God, this place is a hell hole.
I'll go upstairs.
Down that way,
see if I can find the bullets,
or anything, alright?
Oh, come on.

Please don't leave me again.
You ain't getting out of

Lanuit!
Lanuit! Eat your food!
Oh, Rocky?
Come here, pup.
Come here, boy.
Jeremy, is that you?
What?
Where the hell have you been?
Pop, I've been out. I told you
I was going out this morning.
Going out? We-- we had a
breech here tonight.
Somebody broke into the house.
Well, did you take care of it?
No, I didn't take care of it.
You come on over here.
Sit on down.
This is your mess.
Pop, I'm gonna take care of it.
Yeah, right.
God damn it!
[WIND THROUGH STALKS]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Shelly...
Thank God you made it out.
Thank God we made it out.
That was insane!
That guy wants you dead.
He was-- he was ready to...
I know. Because they know
I'm onto them.
You've got to be careful.
Careful is not an option.
Look, I know you want answers
and I know you want them now,
but we've gotta be smart.
Look, Roy, I saw her in there.
That same girl that was there
the day my brother was killed
and she has to know something.
Who's gonna believe us?
I mean, we're just gonna say
we broke in and we saw her?
I know. I know. We need hard
evidence before we can get
a search warrant on that place.
We need to think this through.
I've got the perfect
place for that.
Okay. Let's go there. Now.
Oh my-- unbelievable.
I know.
You can see everything
from up here.
I thought we could map out our
master plan from up here.
Well, good call.
You know, I've been here for
five years and...
...I haven't made a single
friend...
until you.
We have to find her.
What?
The little girl. We have
to find her.
Did you even listen to
anything I just said?
Of course I was listening
to what you just said,
but I obviously have other
things on my mind too.
You know, It's been
a long night.
Oh, no. Don't start with me,
Roy. Not you, too.
I was just saying that maybe
we should get some sleep
so we can make better
decisions for tomorrow.
I'm sick of people telling
me what I need.
Well, maybe you shouldn't be.
Maybe you should
respect the fact that I'm
trying to help you.
Oh, please.
Shelly.
You know what? There's no
rest for the weary, Roy.
[MOTORCYCLE RUNNING]
[CAR PEEL OUT]
[TIRES SCREECH]
What do you mean you
don't know where she is?
What do you mean?
I-- I've been looking all over

Well, she's not here.
Please find her.
[CAR DRIVING FAST]
[QUIET WIND]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
I'm doing everything I can
but nobody believes me.
It's like I'm the only sane one
and nobody gives a shit.
[CAR APPROACHING]
Surprised to see you.
Figured I might find you here.
Yeah, well.
Skylar would have believed you.
Yeah.
He's the only one.
You know, you should go.
Go!
I don't need you.
Or anybody else.
I can just...
you know I can figure
this out on my own.
So, that's it, then?
It's all about you.
Look, you may think that
you don't need me and--
and that's fine...
...but, what about the fact
that I need you?
Doesn't that mean anything
to you?
Of course it means something
to me.
[CRICKETS]
Uh!
Umph!
What are you doing here?
Oh, my God. Wait. No,
you need help. Hey!
Wait! Let me help you.
Wait, I wanna help you. Hey!
[LITTLE GIRL LAUGHS]
[CAR DRIVING]
Shelly!
Sheesh. I've been looking
all over for you.
I woke up and you were gone.
What happened?
The little girl. I saw her.
[ROY SCOFFS]
No, I did, Roy. Seriously.
She was right there in
front of me.
I was so close to her.
Look, the best thing we can do
right now is get you some rest.
No, I can't just leave
her out here.
She's all by herself.
You need to get in the car.
You're running on fumes, okay?
Let me take you home so you
can get some rest.
Okay.
[CAR DRIVING]
That's--
That's strange.
Aunt Beth is usually still at
work at this time.
Why don't I come in with you?
Oh...
No, you don't have to do that.
I insist.
[CAR DOOR SHUT]
[DOOR CREAK OPEN]
Aunt Beth?
Jesus, Shell! When was the
last time you were here?
The other day. With you.
Aunt Beth are you home?
Aunt Beth, where are you?
Shell!
Aunt Beth.
No!... no.
Aw, Jesus!
Please, no, no, NO, NO, NO!
Jesus.
God.
What the--
[SHELLY THROWS UP]
Jesus.
Shelly!
[SHELLY LAUGHS]
We need to get you out
of here, Okay?
No.
We gotta go.
No! Stop it, Roy.
Stop. I can't.
You can. We have to go. We
have to call the police.
No! Don't you dare!
Are you kidding? We need
to report this.
No, do you know what they'll
do to me?
If we report it this?
Who?
The cops.
Why would they do anything
to you?
[SOBBING]
No, no, please don't be dead.
Ok Shelly. You're not acting
rationally. I'm gonna call.
I'm going to call.
No, do you want them to
lock me up forever?
No.
Well, then we can't call.
That's exactly what they do.
That's exactly what they
want and I know it.
Ok... ok just--
just relax.
No, no, no, no.
Do not tell me to relax. Okay?
We have to sort this out.
We have to figure something out.
Oh, God.
Uh, we have to cover this up.
We have to cover this up.
Shelly, what? No!
Yes. Roy, this is the only way.
This is the
ONLYway, okay?
Okay. No.
This is--
You don't know these people.
Do you want them to lock me up?
This is crazy. I can't.
I can't do that.
Roy, we are both in too deep.
And you know it. Okay?
Why do you think Jake was at
Gus's house that night?
They're all in on this.
They killed my entire family.

Hi.
I'm really sorry about what
happened with your brother.
We're all praying for you.
Thank you.
I'm looking for Beth.
She hasn't been at work
the last couple nights...
...and she hasn't called
or nothing. Is she here?
Um, actually, I was just
upstairs and I didn't see her.
So, I don't think she's here.
So... Shelly...
What's going on?
Everything's fine.
You want me to have her give
you a call when she gets home?
Yeah.

Jake.
Surprise.
What? Are you stalking me now?
Dream on. Come on I have to take
you in for questioning.
The hell you do.
I'm out on bail. And I've
done nothing.
That's questionable.
What? Are you going to
arrest me?
Shelly, Beth's missing.
What are you talking about?
You don't seem very
upset by that.
I don't believe you.
Are you gonna come with me
by choice,
or is this gonna be by force?
MUSIC
[CRICKETS]
I told you. I haven't been
home in almost a week.
I find that hard to believe.
The thing is...
we spoke to Beth's coworker,
Samantha Hillard.
And she said she saw you at the
house just two days ago.
Acting strange.
I've been with Roy Gainey since
he bailed me out.
And if you don't believe me,
you can just ask him.
That's kind of impossible,
Shelly.
Considering Roy Gainey is in the
ICU down at St. Mark's.
Shot in cold blood at his
own home.
Farmhand found him
this afternoon
hanging to his life by a thread.
But, I'm guessing that is not
a surprise to you.
[whimpering]
I have to get out of here.
Not so fast.
Jake, we both know how
this works.
You can't keep me here...
...unless you have proof
that I belong here,
which we both know--
Your paranoia and lack
of cooperation
could be considered evidence
enough by a judge and jury.
Oh, well "could" is not really
gonna cut it.
Where's Beth, Shelly?
I really don't know.
You do know.
And as soon as I figure it out,
I'm going to have you tried as
an adult and thrown in prison
for the rest of your life.
- I don't know!
I don't know where she is!
I don't know!
I don't know.
And I need to get out of
here now.

We expected you to show up.
Sir, I'm--
I know who you are.
Is Roy okay?
Don't talk. Just listen.
Before you came around, Roy
was doing just fine,
minding his own business.
And now all of a sudden this?
And don't think we don't know
about you...
...because we are well aware.
I'm--
I'm sorry.
Save it. He doesn't want
to see you.
Things just aren't well.
I don't know.
What?
We haven't lost yet.
It's just far from here.
You're not making any sense.
What part of "he doesn't want to
see you" don't you understand?
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[WATER RIPPLES]
It's not your fault.
Hey.
They did this. Not you.
You're following me.
Wait! Where are your parents?
I don't have parents.
No, please wait. Let me
help you.
There you go. You need anything?
Uh, no, thank you. That's fine.
- Local authorities
are still searching for ten
year old Geneva resident,
Ariel Baxter.
Ariel was reported missing
from her home
in Geneva last
December.
Authorities are asking that
if you have any tips,
to call the number on
the screen.
Back to you, Steve.
Nurse! Nurse.
What can I do for you?
Could you rewind that for me?
Oh, no, the hospital doesn't
have DVR.
Damn it.
I'm sorry. It's a pretty nice
place, but it's not the Marriot.
You got to unhook me.
No, I'm gonna call your parents.
They wanted to stay--
Do not call them!
Look, I'm an adult and you
will not call them.
We got something.

[ENGINE STARTING]
Roy!

[ENGINES OFF]
I'm so sorry, Shelly.
You don't have to say
anything, Roy.
I do.
You were right, Shelly.
I saw the girl on the news.
She's here.
They must be keeping her here
because of the murders.
I know.
I know.
[WIND THROUGH CORN STALKS]
Ok, small footprints. Anything?
[sigh]
There's nothing.
Damn it.
I really wish that girl said
something to you
while you were in the house.
She's scared shitless.
She's seen what those animals
can do. I don't blame her.
Wait...
- Roy.
- Huh?
Did you hear that?
Hear what?
That.
It's just the wind.
It's the sound of a little
girl's voice.
We gotta go find it. Come on.
Mr. and Mrs. Gainey.
This girl should not be out
on the loose.
Putting all of our kids
in danger.
I promise you, Ma'am. We are
working diligently on this.
We couldn't do anything until
we had--
Blood on your hands?
Our best officers are out
there searching...
...and it's a small town.
When our son ran away from his
last school in Milwaukee,
we had a tracking app put
on his phone.
He is with her.

I'm going back in there tonight
with my dad's Glock .45.
Shelly, I'm doing this with you.
No, you're not.
I don't want anything else
to happen to you.
- Mmmm. Too late.
[RIFLE COCKS]
Drop it.
Drop it!
[GUN FALLS]
You two think you can keep
snooping around my property
and get away with it?
You think you can keep on
murdering people
and get away with it?
Well hey, now.
There's only one murderer here
and it ain't me.
Oh, Shit.
Shell, Shell, Shell.
You really are a piece of work.
Coming around here with all
this crap.
You really should be thrown
in the loony bin.
Just like your mom.
Come on, take it easy with her.
We are just trying to
figure out--
You should really stay
out of this.
[THUD]
Stop.
Just don't, okay?
What exactly are you two
planning on doing
in my house tonight anyway?
I know she's in there,
and I know you killed
my brother.
You've really lost it, Shell.
[LAUGHTER]
Enough with the "Shelly's
crazy" bullshit.
My Dad? My Aunt? Skylar?
How could you do all these
horrendous things?
You wanted to destroy me?
Get a grip!
A grip...
A fucking grip...
Really, Jeremy?
Look who's talking.
I'd say I've handled everything
pretty damn well,
considering I risked everything
to cover up the truth for you
and you then you just choose
to cut me off
like I met nothing to you.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Your boy doesn't know.
[LAUGHTER]
Pretty boy didn't know.
She murdered her father.
Pushed him off the tree stand.
Drove her own mom into the
crazy house.
That's not true.
See? She's convinced herself
that none of it ever happened.
The girl is completely
delusional.
Maybe I should have never said
I saw your dad fall.
I just thought it was the only
way I could save us.
Guess I was wrong.
What are you gonna do, Shell?
You don't move until I tell
you to, pretty boy.
Is any of this true, Shelly?
You just don't understand the
rich family history we share.
Shelly will always come
back to me.
Won't you, Shell?
But let's get one thing
straight. Once and for all.
You're a cold blooded killer.
You hear me, Shell?
Hey!
Hey.
Watch out!
