Lady, Stay Dead (1981) Movie Script
The End
I'm sorry.
And continuing fine weather along the coast.
We'll be close to a high of 75 around 2 o'clock,
with those welcome sea breezes bringing relief later in the day,
with a good chance of a cool evening.
Little smog this morning, and health authorities are predicting
a below-average reading downtown.
So, another glorious summer's day coming up.
Hope you'll be making the best of it wherever you are.
Here at COA 11, we'll be doing our best to keep you informed and entertained.
So stay tuned, because on the coast, we give you the most.
John Garwood with you until mid-morning.
And lots of good music with all the news as it happens on the half hour.
We'll update the traffic situation for you after this next number.
Time right up ten minutes past six.
music
Loving from a distance, longing from afar,
Needing so to know your touch, imagining you are
Close enough to feel my need and hunger for me too.
Your eyes reveal your need for me
To love you as I will
But if we pass
You cannot even pass the time of day
Uncaring, unknowing
You'll go away
Too far away
I must bring you closer
Somehow make you care
Let me know the warmth of you
Let me take you away
You will learn to need me
As the earth meets rain
And loving from a distance
Will be gone
And within pain
Yes, well, I can make it on Friday.
I'm busy till then.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Barry, you sure about the money?
Well, that's fine.
Fine.
Oh, same as usual.
Boring.
Boring. Do you mind? I'm talking to my agent.
I'll give you love to last forever
If you'll just remain
But I've noticed, I've needed
I'll wait for you
I'll wait in vain
I must bring you closer
Somehow make you care
Let me know the warmth of you
Let me take you away
You will learn to need me
As the earth needs rain
And loving from a distance
Will be gone
And within faith.
- Louise is coming, I called it. - Oh, you got it?
Yes.
How they going out there, Pops?
- Be finished before lunch? - Yeah, looks like it.
They've got enough people. Like a bloody circus up there.
All they need to know are the elephants.
Hey, Mason, watch the noise.
They're shooting sound in there.
- Hi, George. - Hi.
- Brian, nice to see you again. - Good evening.
- Good evening. - Good evening.
- Cheers, sir. - Thank you.
- Hello, Alex. - Thanks, sir.
- George. - Good.
- I'm Brian. - Nice to meet you.
- Okay, let's get ready for a take, please.
Back to the top, please.
You can pull from the ball if you want to get it.
Yeah.
It's going great, Marie.
They'll sell a million, and you look a million dollars
through the lens as usual.
Yeah, right.
So long as we're finished by lunchtime.
How are we going for time?
There's no problem.
It's not even nine o'clock.
Places, everyone.
Final check before we shoot.
First positions, please.
Everyone quiet.
Quiet, please.
Stand by for take.
Okay, let's shoot it.
Roll sound.
Speed.
Market.
Shin-Haglo 63, take 3A.
thud
Gordon!
I want you to clean up that rubbish now.
I'm sorry.
Mow the lawns before you leave.
I mowed them yesterday, Miss Colby.
Like you asked for today's shooting.
In that case, mow them again.
That's what you get paid for.
You sure I can't go to the airport to pick up your sister?
No, thanks. I haven't seen her for a while.
She'll be expecting me.
Why do I look that tired?
No.
You had a busy morning.
I saw the trucks and the helicopter.
Anyway, I'll keep an eye on your sister.
Thanks, Billy.
Yeah, she might need something while she's here.
I'll pick her up from the airport, and I'll be back about 2:30.
No problems, miss.
You'll be on location till Wednesday.
Mm-hmm.
It's only four days filming at the farm.
Well, I'm up to the beach.
Gotta keep the wane off.
See you when I get back.
Right.
Oh, yes, I've talked to all the two mother-in-law's again.
OK, I'll clean the pool while you're gone.
Great.
Don't forget to look in on Jenny.
I won't forget.
Come on, kid.
Come on, sir.
I'm sorry.
sad music
Ah.
Oh.
-
Hello?
Yes?
What?
Mrs. Curtis, hang on. I can't hear a thing.
Gordon?
Gordon?
Gordon?
Hey, Dad, I can't hear a thing on the telephone!
Right. Now, what's all this about cosmo-cosmetics?
Dinner tomorrow night? No way.
Now, my sister's coming here. I'm going to pick her up from the airport,
and then I'm off to location.
You know that I'm not interested in those damn cosmetic salesmen and dinners!
Mrs. Curtis, do I have to spell it out? The answer's no!
Gordon!
Gordon!
There's some garbage here. Take it away with you.
And open the gate. I've got to go to the airport.
I love you.
What are you doing inside the house?
You know you're not allowed in here.
- That's okay. - And get those filthy boots outside.
Get out! - Really?
And how dare you touch anything in this room.
I wanna talk with you.
Out there, you yelled at me like I was some kid.
Get out of the house immediately.
I don't want you in the house.
Who the hell do you think--
Look at that dirt!
Look what you've done to the carpet!
You useless idiot!
Don't you dare say that!
I've waited a long time.
I've had others.
But you-- you're supposed to be different.
They were just dumb housewives.
I'm not putting up with this ridiculous act of yours.
You, you're getting out of here and you're not coming back.
All the doors are locked.
You might need these.
Right.
You want to play games, do you?
Well, you're fine.
I'm gonna get Billy Shepard on the phone and he'll come over and he'll get rid of you.
Be my guest.
And with his pain
You're right. I want to play games.
Like you did with that guy.
That guy in a suit. All nice and neat.
And a fancy helicopter. Is that it, huh? Is that it?
I'll soon make you forget him.
When you see how good I am.
Forget him.
No.
Gordon, Gordon, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it.
If it's money you want, I'll give you some.
There's only one thing I want from you.
Gordon, you're hurting me.
Gordon, I can't move.
If you let me up, I'll kiss you.
You bitch!
You little bitch. You want it rough?
I'll give it to you, rough. You want it rough?
You get it?
Oh, my God.
Oh, I'm chillin'.
Give it.
You really like it when it hurts, don't you?
Hmm?
It's better than those fancy advertising men in suits, eh?
Mongrels.
Any time that you want it good and rough,
I'm always here.
You just gotta call me.
Don't touch me!
You make me sick!
Don't say that.
- You make me sick! - Don't you say that.
- You're an animal! - You shut your filthy mouth!
You shut your filthy mouth!
Bitch! I'll fix me, girl!
I'll fix your filthy mouth!
I'll wash my poop from you!
Help!
That's you.
You can't talk to me like that.
That's your filthy mouth, huh?
Can I just show you?
You just can't talk to me like that.
Huh?
That's you.
That's you.
- Huh?
Miss Colby?
It's all right now.
Miss Colby.
Come on.
You can get up now.
I won't hurt you.
Look, see? Look.
We'll clean everything up and see, look.
It'll all be just like it was before.
You shouldn't have said those things.
The others, they didn't mind.
They didn't look, see?
See, look.
They didn't fight.
But they're not beautiful like you, Marie.
Marie.
We'll make you pretty again.
Just like you were before.
Just a few minutes, and everything will be alright.
Help, help.
What the bloody hell are you doing?
Scylla?
Come on, girl.
Scylla?
Scylla, where are you?
Come on, Scylla. Come on, girl.
Come on, Slylla
I'm going to go.
Come on.

Marie, are you there?
Marie?
Sis, I'm here.
Marie.
Marie.
Marie?
Sis?
Where are you?
Thank you.

I'll slap you.
I'm sorry.

Hello, Rocky Beach Hotel.
Hi, honey. Settled in okay?
Yes, been busy though.
Just had a funeral for the goldfish.
The goldfish?
I'll tell you about it later.
They'll make sardines for your midnight snack.
How's Marie? All packed to go and leaving us to ourselves?
I don't know. It's strange.
She wasn't here and her cases are gone.
She didn't even pick me up from the airport.
Probably left earlier than she planned.
She didn't leave a note.
No, her car's still here.
Michael, I'm worried. It's not like her.
Well, you know your little sister.
Maybe she's gone into town.
I'm sure she'll turn up any time now.
Listen, I've got to go, love.
I'll see you tonight, about midnight, okay?
Yes, see you tonight.
Bye.
Michael?
Oh?
DimaTorzok
Mr. Shepherd?
Billy?
Mr. Shepherd!
Mr. Shepherd!
- Can I help? - You gave me a fright.
Sorry. I'm Gordon Mason. I do the gardening. You're...
Mrs. Nolan, Miss Colby's sister.
I'll be looking after the house while she's away.
- Away? - She's gone up the coast...
Miss Colby's away?
She's gone up the coast to do some location work.
Maybe you'd like me to come back another time.
I can do some lawns in town.
No, do what you have to do.
Thanks, Mrs. Nolan.
Only take an hour or so.
Thank you.
Good afternoon, Bilson, Nolan and Truscott architects.
Samantha, this is Jenny Nolan. Is Michael in?
Oh, I'm afraid not, Mrs. Nolan.
He's out at the football stadium with Mr. Bilson.
I just want Michael to call me as soon as possible.
Are you still at the Rocky Beach number?
Just tell Michael to call me, please.
Yes, all right, Mrs. Nolan.
Thank you.
Bye.
Finish cutting, Mom.
Could you get some extra bags for the grass, please?
Wait there.
I'll get them.
They're in the middle cupboard.
Under the sink.
Would you like a cup of coffee?
Oh, thanks.
I'd like that.
But I'll wrap up the clippings first.
Just come in the kitchen when you're ready.
Oh, I'll have it outside, Mom.
Miss Colby didn't...
Uh, she doesn't like anyone coming in with dirty boots.
I'm not allowed in the house.
I'd like to speak to Barry Adler, Marie Colby's agent.
Oh, Mr. Adler's gone for the weekend, Mrs. Nolan.
I'm Mrs. Curtis, Mr. Adler's associate. Could I help you?
I was wondering if Marie had a call for work this afternoon or an appointment.
Oh, I'll check for you. You're calling from out of town.
Did she leave a message for me?
No. She was working on a commercial at the villa this morning.
She works tomorrow up the coast.
Can I take a message or do you want a home number?
No, I have the number.
Thank you for your help.
Goodbye.
Thank you.
You staying by yourself, ma'am?
No, actually, my husband's joining me. He'll be here soon.
Do you come here often, Mrs. Nolan?
I mean, I've been cutting lawns around here for nearly two years,
and I didn't know Miss Colby had a sister.
I was here about two Christmases ago.
Ah.
Gee, thanks for the coffee.
I'll have to load up and be on my way, but...
I might see you again one day, Mrs. Nolan.
Mr. Mason,
do you know the old man down at the cottage?
Billy? Billy Shepherd?
Yeah. He's been here for years.
Everyone knows old Bill.
Well, I'm worried about him. I saw his dog drowned and...
Billy's dog drowned?
No.
It couldn't have been Scylla. That dog's been in water all her life.
I saw the dog washed up on the beach.
I think there's something wrong with Mr. Shepherd.
He's asleep in his cottage, and I couldn't wake him.
- You were down there? - Yes.
I really am worried.
Well, look.
You tell me where you think you saw the dog,
and then I'll go down and take a look.
It'll be dark soon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are you sure about it, Scylla?
Billy's probably gone off for one of his walks.
He goes off for hours. The old guy can walk miles and miles.
But the dog.
Maybe Mr. Shepherd was in the water, too.
He might be hurt.
Yeah, I doubt that.
Anyway, I'll check the road above the cottage on my way home.
Old Billy's around somewhere.
What about the dog?
Scylla?
I put her in the shed at the side of the place.
I covered her with a tarpaula.
Look, Mrs. Nolan, I know it's not very nice,
It's nice, the dog and all that, but everything will be all right.
See, old Billy's tough.
He'll mope around for a couple of days, and then...
he'll just go out and buy another dog.
Come on.
You don't want to be all sad and miserable when your husband arrives now, do you, eh?
?
phone rings
Thank you for calling the offices of Wilson, Nolan and Truscott Architects.
Our office hours are from 8:38...
That man you think you know...
lost him.
We did nothing.
We thought we had.
We grieved for five years.
But when he went to fight for his country, the Lord was with him.
Ich habe es nicht mehr.
Shh.
Mr. Shepherd?
Billy?
Mrs. Shepherd!
No!
Oh, my God.

Coastal Security, Dispatch Officer Aker speaking.
Hold the line, please.
No, listen! I'm at Rocky Beach!
Rocky Beach and Marie Colby's house!
My name's Mrs. Nolan.
Hello, can you hear me?
Hello!
Oh, damn you, can you hear me?
Dispatch officer Aker speaking.
May I help you?
Oh, thank God.
I'm Jenny Nolan.
I'm at the Colby house.
Hello?
Please, can you hear me?
Can you hear me, please?
Can you hear me?
Please, can you hear me?
Mrs. Nolan, it's me, Gordon Mason.
Thought you'd like some company, seeing as your husband isn't here.
No! Go away! He's in the shower!
Oh, really?
Then I'll wait here.
Sure would like to meet the man who picked you for his wife.
He's got real taste.
You've been down to see old Billy, haven't you?
Did you have a nice chat?
Old Billy wouldn't have much to say now, would he?
Bloody dog.
You don't have a telephone now, Mrs. Nolan,
so there's no one to talk to now except me.
I brought some groceries so you and I can have a nice quiet dinner together.
I even brought you some lovely flowers.
They smell real nice.
Come on, Mrs. Nolan.
Aren't you gonna talk to me?
Isn't your husband taking a long time?
Is he still in the shower?
Well...
Seeing you won't talk to me...
I'm sorry.
Off.
On.
And off.
And your telephone is off, Mrs. Nolan.
So if we just turn a few lights out,
you and I can have a nice candlelight dinner.
It's just you and me.
Candlelight.
You really like that, Mrs. Nolan.
I'm sure you're a nice time.
Don't you play games with me, woman!
You up there!
You're a fool?
I've got something very interesting for you.
Jenny Nolan!
Why don't you come downstairs and see for yourself?
Do you want to see your sister?
She's waiting for you.
I know she'd like to see you.
I'm sorry.
Come on, Jenny.
We're waiting.
It's getting cold out here.
You shouldn't keep us waiting.
Come on.
Be a good girl.
I'm waiting.
So is your sister.
Jenny?
Jenny?
We're waiting.
-Good evening.
I'm really a very nice guy.
But your sister blabbered, yelled, and screamed.
So I had to put her in the fish tank.
You're so alike, you sisters.
Are you gonna blabber and yell, Mrs. Nolan?
I'll be taking your picture just like the others
See you'll have to smile
Jenny Jenny
Hey!
I...
You bitch! You fucking little bitch!
I'm gonna get you! I am really gonna get you!
I am gonna get you!
Now whistle, you bastard!
I'm sorry.
Ah!
Help!
-
Oh!
I'm sorry.
Oh, my God.
No!
What the hell's happening here?
Mrs. Nolan, you rang the station.
Who was it?
He's out there.
Mrs. Nolan, what's up?
No wonder we couldn't get through.
Okay, Pops, check the bank out, will you?
Mason's asleep. He killed my sister in Old Philly.
Pops! Pops, come here.
He's mad. He killed my sister.
You're at the front and around the side.
I'll hold things from here.
And Pops, use this if you have to.
Yeah, just give me 40 seconds, Clyde.
I better radio in for backup.
Right.
All right.
This is
Get down!
Pops!
Are you okay?
Pops!
Can you hear me?
Pops!
Collings!
It'd be a lot easier if you just give up.
You won't get the woman out of the house.
And you can't stay in there all night.
Just put your hands in the air.
And we can't forget Mrs. Nolan.
You still there, Jenny?
What about my partner?
Is he all right, Mason?
Is that what's okay?
Well, that depends which way you look at him.
To tell you the truth,
whichever way you look at him,
He doesn't look too good at all.
He's kind of...
Well, he's kind of all over the place.
Ugh!
Oh, God.
The sick bastard. Two can play that game.
Jesus, are you a dumb bastard? You don't know that maniac!
All we gotta do is stay put.
There'll be a car along in 40 minutes to check on us.
Haven't radioed in since I advised him we're coming out here.
Tom Akers will put two and two together and come up with a missing car
and two officers unaccounted for.
Just relax, Mrs. Nolan.
Mason won't come in here.
He knows about this.
Just relax.
Everything will be all right.
All you do is talk.
For Christ's sake, do something, you fuckwit!
Do something!
Perfectly safe here.
Mason knows that.
So don't complicate things.
Cigarette, Mrs. Nolan.
Bastards, dastard, and petrol!
Got your thinking, hasn't it, colleagues?
Put your shoes on.
You're gonna run like you've never run before.
I'm not going out there. I'm not that stupid.
Just do as you told.
You didn't see what he did to Marie and old Billy.
We wouldn't stand a chance out there.
You don't know Mason.
I know a lot about Mason.
A lot about other women and their irate husbands.
They wouldn't lay charges.
The bastard's never gone this far before.
She was only a kid, 24 years old.
Who did she ever hurt?
You don't live in a place like this,
miles from anywhere, do the things she did.
You don't know a darn thing about, Marie.
I've been patrolling this area for nine years.
Something like this was bound to happen.
Mason made sure of that.
I'm gonna count slowly to 30.
You hear that, Collings?
It's 30 seconds. That's all.
If you and that smart-ass woman
aren't out front with your hands in the air,
I'm gonna fry you.
So, you both got 30 seconds.
Put 'em on.
I'll check the balcony.
Now, I'm gonna take you downstairs.
And when you get there, I want you to run along the cliff top
towards the highway.
He won't see you in the dark.
- What about you? - Don't worry about me.
Just do as you don't.
Are you gonna be a good girl?
- Yes. - Right.
When you follow me, stay close and keep low.
Okay.
Let's go.
Thirty seconds are up, folks.
You better come out now.
It's the end of the count.
Out you go.
Wait.
Okay, Collins!
You're both gonna burn in hell!
Mason!
I wanna talk a deal!
You don't have to hurt the woman!
No deals!
No talks!
No nothing!
It's too late, Collins!
It's too late!
You're gonna run like hell.
What?
You're getting out of here.
I'm not running anywhere.
You're gonna run like hell.
I'm not going.
You sure are.
No, I'm not.
Go! Go!
Go!
Oh, Jesus!
Oh, Jesus!
Oh, no!
Cops!
You bastard, Mason!
Kill you, you monger!
Come on, Collins! Come on!
Collins, don't! No!
Don't be a bloody fool!
That's what he wants you to do!
Mason! Get out of there!
I'm gonna kill you, you animal!
You've just killed an old man!
Do you feel good?
I'm gonna kill you!
Come on! Come on!
No! He's baiting you!
He's baiting you!
You go first.
I'll hold him off in two minutes, and then I'll join you.
- You got that? - Yes.
Here we go.
Go.
Go!
Why?
Why?
Why?
Get out of here!
Why?
He's my sister!
Go!
Go!
Oh, my God.
I'm sorry.
Now you're gone, you animal!
It's not an old man now, Mason!
You mongrel!
Drown! Drown!
You know how to come up?
Drown, you animals! Drown!
This one's for the cops and murdering mongrels!
Dead!
You animal!
You maggot!
The bastard.
Miss Is Golan. Miss Is Officer Collins.
You can come out now.
It's all over.
Miss Is Golan. Come out now.
It's a safety command.
Miss Is Golan.
Miss Is Officer Collins.
Are you in there?
Mrs. Gawlin, show yourself.
I'm here. Here.
Help me.
Well, if it isn't, the pretty lady herself.
I'll kill myself.
You've made this very, very messy.
And I don't like that!
-
Marie?
Marie?
I don't want to hurt you.
Marie?
Marie?
My-- that place, special--
oh.
No.
No, Marie.
No.
No.
No.
No, no, no, Marie.
No.

Check the car.
Kill him. Kill him. Kill him.

Yes.
How they going out there, Pops?
- Be finished before lunch? - Yeah, looks like it.
They've got enough people. Like a bloody circus up there.

- Okay, let's get ready for a take, please.
Back to the top, please.
You can pull from the ball if you want to get it.
Yeah.
It's going great, Marie.
They'll sell a million, and you look a million dollars
through the lens as usual.
Yeah, right.
So long as we're finished by lunchtime.
How are we going for time?
There's no problem.
It's not even nine o'clock.
Places, everyone.
Final check before we shoot.
First positions, please.
Everyone quiet.
Quiet, please.
Stand by for take.
Okay, let's shoot it.

Gordon!
I want you to clean up that rubbish now.
I'm sorry.
Mow the lawns before you leave.
I mowed them yesterday, Miss Colby.
Like you asked for today's shooting.
In that case, mow them again.
That's what you get paid for.
You sure I can't go to the airport to pick up your sister?
No, thanks. I haven't seen her for a while.
She'll be expecting me.
Why do I look that tired?
No.
You had a busy morning.
I saw the trucks and the helicopter.
Anyway, I'll keep an eye on your sister.
Thanks, Billy.
Yeah, she might need something while she's here.
I'll pick her up from the airport, and I'll be back about 2:30.
No problems, miss.
You'll be on location till Wednesday.
Mm-hmm.
It's only four days filming at the farm.
Well, I'm up to the beach.
Gotta keep the wane off.
See you when I get back.
Right.
Oh, yes, I've talked to all the two mother-in-law's again.
OK, I'll clean the pool while you're gone.
Great.
Don't forget to look in on Jenny.
I won't forget.
Come on, kid.
Come on, sir.
I'm sorry.

Ah.
Oh.

Hello?
Yes?
What?
Mrs. Curtis, hang on. I can't hear a thing.
Gordon?
Gordon?
Gordon?
Hey, Dad, I can't hear a thing on the telephone!
Right. Now, what's all this about cosmo-cosmetics?
Dinner tomorrow night? No way.
Now, my sister's coming here. I'm going to pick her up from the airport,
and then I'm off to location.
You know that I'm not interested in those damn cosmetic salesmen and dinners!
Mrs. Curtis, do I have to spell it out? The answer's no!
Gordon!
Gordon!
There's some garbage here. Take it away with you.
And open the gate. I've got to go to the airport.
I love you.
What are you doing inside the house?
You know you're not allowed in here.
- That's okay. - And get those filthy boots outside.
Get out! - Really?
And how dare you touch anything in this room.
I wanna talk with you.
Out there, you yelled at me like I was some kid.
Get out of the house immediately.
I don't want you in the house.
Who the hell do you think--
Look at that dirt!
Look what you've done to the carpet!
You useless idiot!
Don't you dare say that!
I've waited a long time.
I've had others.
But you-- you're supposed to be different.
They were just dumb housewives.
I'm not putting up with this ridiculous act of yours.
You, you're getting out of here and you're not coming back.
All the doors are locked.
You might need these.
Right.
You want to play games, do you?
Well, you're fine.
I'm gonna get Billy Shepard on the phone and he'll come over and he'll get rid of you.
Be my guest.
And with his pain
You're right. I want to play games.
Like you did with that guy.
That guy in a suit. All nice and neat.
And a fancy helicopter. Is that it, huh? Is that it?
I'll soon make you forget him.
When you see how good I am.
Forget him.
No.
Gordon, Gordon, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it.
If it's money you want, I'll give you some.
There's only one thing I want from you.
Gordon, you're hurting me.
Gordon, I can't move.
If you let me up, I'll kiss you.
You bitch!
You little bitch. You want it rough?
I'll give it to you, rough. You want it rough?
You get it?
Oh, my God.
Oh, I'm chillin'.
Give it.
You really like it when it hurts, don't you?
Hmm?
It's better than those fancy advertising men in suits, eh?
Mongrels.
Any time that you want it good and rough,
I'm always here.
You just gotta call me.
Don't touch me!
You make me sick!
Don't say that.
- You make me sick! - Don't you say that.
- You're an animal! - You shut your filthy mouth!
You shut your filthy mouth!
Bitch! I'll fix me, girl!
I'll fix your filthy mouth!
I'll wash my poop from you!
Help!
That's you.
You can't talk to me like that.
That's your filthy mouth, huh?
Can I just show you?
You just can't talk to me like that.
Huh?
That's you.
That's you.
- Huh?
Miss Colby?
It's all right now.
Miss Colby.
Come on.
You can get up now.
I won't hurt you.
Look, see? Look.
We'll clean everything up and see, look.
It'll all be just like it was before.
You shouldn't have said those things.
The others, they didn't mind.
They didn't look, see?
See, look.
They didn't fight.
But they're not beautiful like you, Marie.
Marie.
We'll make you pretty again.
Just like you were before.
Just a few minutes, and everything will be alright.
Help, help.
What the bloody hell are you doing?
Scylla?
Come on, girl.
Scylla?
Scylla, where are you?
Come on, Scylla. Come on, girl.
Come on, Slylla
I'm going to go.
Come on.

Marie, are you there?
Marie?
Sis, I'm here.
Marie.
Marie.
Marie?
Sis?
Where are you?
Thank you.

I'll slap you.
I'm sorry.

Hello, Rocky Beach Hotel.
Hi, honey. Settled in okay?
Yes, been busy though.
Just had a funeral for the goldfish.
The goldfish?
I'll tell you about it later.
They'll make sardines for your midnight snack.
How's Marie? All packed to go and leaving us to ourselves?
I don't know. It's strange.
She wasn't here and her cases are gone.
She didn't even pick me up from the airport.
Probably left earlier than she planned.
She didn't leave a note.
No, her car's still here.
Michael, I'm worried. It's not like her.
Well, you know your little sister.
Maybe she's gone into town.
I'm sure she'll turn up any time now.
Listen, I've got to go, love.
I'll see you tonight, about midnight, okay?
Yes, see you tonight.
Bye.
Michael?
Oh?
DimaTorzok
Mr. Shepherd?
Billy?
Mr. Shepherd!
Mr. Shepherd!
- Can I help? - You gave me a fright.
Sorry. I'm Gordon Mason. I do the gardening. You're...
Mrs. Nolan, Miss Colby's sister.
I'll be looking after the house while she's away.
- Away? - She's gone up the coast...
Miss Colby's away?
She's gone up the coast to do some location work.
Maybe you'd like me to come back another time.
I can do some lawns in town.
No, do what you have to do.
Thanks, Mrs. Nolan.
Only take an hour or so.
Thank you.
Good afternoon, Bilson, Nolan and Truscott architects.
Samantha, this is Jenny Nolan. Is Michael in?
Oh, I'm afraid not, Mrs. Nolan.
He's out at the football stadium with Mr. Bilson.
I just want Michael to call me as soon as possible.
Are you still at the Rocky Beach number?
Just tell Michael to call me, please.
Yes, all right, Mrs. Nolan.
Thank you.
Bye.
Finish cutting, Mom.
Could you get some extra bags for the grass, please?
Wait there.
I'll get them.
They're in the middle cupboard.
Under the sink.
Would you like a cup of coffee?
Oh, thanks.
I'd like that.
But I'll wrap up the clippings first.
Just come in the kitchen when you're ready.
Oh, I'll have it outside, Mom.
Miss Colby didn't...
Uh, she doesn't like anyone coming in with dirty boots.
I'm not allowed in the house.
I'd like to speak to Barry Adler, Marie Colby's agent.
Oh, Mr. Adler's gone for the weekend, Mrs. Nolan.
I'm Mrs. Curtis, Mr. Adler's associate. Could I help you?
I was wondering if Marie had a call for work this afternoon or an appointment.
Oh, I'll check for you. You're calling from out of town.
Did she leave a message for me?
No. She was working on a commercial at the villa this morning.
She works tomorrow up the coast.
Can I take a message or do you want a home number?
No, I have the number.
Thank you for your help.
Goodbye.
Thank you.
You staying by yourself, ma'am?
No, actually, my husband's joining me. He'll be here soon.
Do you come here often, Mrs. Nolan?
I mean, I've been cutting lawns around here for nearly two years,
and I didn't know Miss Colby had a sister.
I was here about two Christmases ago.
Ah.
Gee, thanks for the coffee.
I'll have to load up and be on my way, but...
I might see you again one day, Mrs. Nolan.
Mr. Mason,
do you know the old man down at the cottage?
Billy? Billy Shepherd?
Yeah. He's been here for years.
Everyone knows old Bill.
Well, I'm worried about him. I saw his dog drowned and...
Billy's dog drowned?
No.
It couldn't have been Scylla. That dog's been in water all her life.
I saw the dog washed up on the beach.
I think there's something wrong with Mr. Shepherd.
He's asleep in his cottage, and I couldn't wake him.
- You were down there? - Yes.
I really am worried.
Well, look.
You tell me where you think you saw the dog,
and then I'll go down and take a look.
It'll be dark soon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are you sure about it, Scylla?
Billy's probably gone off for one of his walks.
He goes off for hours. The old guy can walk miles and miles.
But the dog.
Maybe Mr. Shepherd was in the water, too.
He might be hurt.
Yeah, I doubt that.
Anyway, I'll check the road above the cottage on my way home.
Old Billy's around somewhere.
What about the dog?
Scylla?
I put her in the shed at the side of the place.
I covered her with a tarpaula.
Look, Mrs. Nolan, I know it's not very nice,
It's nice, the dog and all that, but everything will be all right.
See, old Billy's tough.
He'll mope around for a couple of days, and then...
he'll just go out and buy another dog.
Come on.
You don't want to be all sad and miserable when your husband arrives now, do you, eh?
?
phone rings
Thank you for calling the offices of Wilson, Nolan and Truscott Architects.
Our office hours are from 8:38...
That man you think you know...
lost him.
We did nothing.
We thought we had.
We grieved for five years.
But when he went to fight for his country, the Lord was with him.
Ich habe es nicht mehr.
Shh.
Mr. Shepherd?
Billy?
Mrs. Shepherd!
No!
Oh, my God.
- -
Coastal Security, Dispatch Officer Aker speaking.
Hold the line, please.
No, listen! I'm at Rocky Beach!
Rocky Beach and Marie Colby's house!
My name's Mrs. Nolan.
Hello, can you hear me?
Hello!
Oh, damn you, can you hear me?
Dispatch officer Aker speaking.
May I help you?
Oh, thank God.
I'm Jenny Nolan.
I'm at the Colby house.
Hello?
Please, can you hear me?
Can you hear me, please?
Can you hear me?
Please, can you hear me?
Mrs. Nolan, it's me, Gordon Mason.
Thought you'd like some company, seeing as your husband isn't here.
No! Go away! He's in the shower!
Oh, really?
Then I'll wait here.
Sure would like to meet the man who picked you for his wife.
He's got real taste.
You've been down to see old Billy, haven't you?
Did you have a nice chat?
Old Billy wouldn't have much to say now, would he?
Bloody dog.
You don't have a telephone now, Mrs. Nolan,
so there's no one to talk to now except me.
I brought some groceries so you and I can have a nice quiet dinner together.
I even brought you some lovely flowers.
They smell real nice.
Come on, Mrs. Nolan.
Aren't you gonna talk to me?
Isn't your husband taking a long time?
Is he still in the shower?
Well...
Seeing you won't talk to me...
I'm sorry.
Off.
On.
And off.
And your telephone is off, Mrs. Nolan.
So if we just turn a few lights out,
you and I can have a nice candlelight dinner.
It's just you and me.
Candlelight.
You really like that, Mrs. Nolan.
I'm sure you're a nice time.
Don't you play games with me, woman!
You up there!
You're a fool?
I've got something very interesting for you.
Jenny Nolan!
Why don't you come downstairs and see for yourself?
Do you want to see your sister?
She's waiting for you.
I know she'd like to see you.
I'm sorry.
Come on, Jenny.
We're waiting.
It's getting cold out here.
You shouldn't keep us waiting.
Come on.
Be a good girl.
I'm waiting.
So is your sister.
Jenny?
Jenny?
We're waiting.
-Good evening.
I'm really a very nice guy.
But your sister blabbered, yelled, and screamed.
So I had to put her in the fish tank.
You're so alike, you sisters.
Are you gonna blabber and yell, Mrs. Nolan?
I'll be taking your picture just like the others
See you'll have to smile
Jenny Jenny
Hey!
I...
You bitch! You fucking little bitch!
I'm gonna get you! I am really gonna get you!
I am gonna get you!
Now whistle, you bastard!
I'm sorry.
Ah!
Help!
-
Oh!
I'm sorry.
Oh, my God.
No!
What the hell's happening here?
Mrs. Nolan, you rang the station.
Who was it?
He's out there.
Mrs. Nolan, what's up?
No wonder we couldn't get through.
Okay, Pops, check the bank out, will you?
Mason's asleep. He killed my sister in Old Philly.
Pops! Pops, come here.
He's mad. He killed my sister.
You're at the front and around the side.
I'll hold things from here.
And Pops, use this if you have to.
Yeah, just give me 40 seconds, Clyde.
I better radio in for backup.
Right.
All right.
This is
Get down!
Pops!
Are you okay?
Pops!
Can you hear me?
Pops!
Collings!
It'd be a lot easier if you just give up.
You won't get the woman out of the house.
And you can't stay in there all night.
Just put your hands in the air.
And we can't forget Mrs. Nolan.
You still there, Jenny?
What about my partner?
Is he all right, Mason?
Is that what's okay?
Well, that depends which way you look at him.
To tell you the truth,
whichever way you look at him,
He doesn't look too good at all.
He's kind of...
Well, he's kind of all over the place.
Ugh!
Oh, God.
The sick bastard. Two can play that game.
Jesus, are you a dumb bastard? You don't know that maniac!
All we gotta do is stay put.
There'll be a car along in 40 minutes to check on us.
Haven't radioed in since I advised him we're coming out here.
Tom Akers will put two and two together and come up with a missing car
and two officers unaccounted for.
Just relax, Mrs. Nolan.
Mason won't come in here.
He knows about this.
Just relax.
Everything will be all right.
All you do is talk.
For Christ's sake, do something, you fuckwit!
Do something!
Perfectly safe here.
Mason knows that.
So don't complicate things.
Cigarette, Mrs. Nolan.
Bastards, dastard, and petrol!
Got your thinking, hasn't it, colleagues?
Put your shoes on.
You're gonna run like you've never run before.
I'm not going out there. I'm not that stupid.
Just do as you told.
You didn't see what he did to Marie and old Billy.
We wouldn't stand a chance out there.
You don't know Mason.
I know a lot about Mason.
A lot about other women and their irate husbands.
They wouldn't lay charges.
The bastard's never gone this far before.
She was only a kid, 24 years old.
Who did she ever hurt?
You don't live in a place like this,
miles from anywhere, do the things she did.
You don't know a darn thing about, Marie.
I've been patrolling this area for nine years.
Something like this was bound to happen.
Mason made sure of that.
I'm gonna count slowly to 30.
You hear that, Collings?
It's 30 seconds. That's all.
If you and that smart-ass woman
aren't out front with your hands in the air,
I'm gonna fry you.
So, you both got 30 seconds.
Put 'em on.
I'll check the balcony.
Now, I'm gonna take you downstairs.
And when you get there, I want you to run along the cliff top
towards the highway.
He won't see you in the dark.
- What about you? - Don't worry about me.
Just do as you don't.
Are you gonna be a good girl?
- Yes. - Right.
When you follow me, stay close and keep low.
Okay.
Let's go.
Thirty seconds are up, folks.
You better come out now.
It's the end of the count.
Out you go.
Wait.
Okay, Collins!
You're both gonna burn in hell!
Mason!
I wanna talk a deal!
You don't have to hurt the woman!
No deals!
No talks!
No nothing!
It's too late, Collins!
It's too late!
You're gonna run like hell.
What?
You're getting out of here.
I'm not running anywhere.
You're gonna run like hell.
I'm not going.
You sure are.
No, I'm not.
Go! Go!
Go!
Oh, Jesus!
Oh, Jesus!
Oh, no!
Cops!
You bastard, Mason!
Kill you, you monger!
Come on, Collins! Come on!
Collins, don't! No!
Don't be a bloody fool!
That's what he wants you to do!
Mason! Get out of there!
I'm gonna kill you, you animal!
You've just killed an old man!
Do you feel good?
I'm gonna kill you!
Come on! Come on!
No! He's baiting you!
He's baiting you!
You go first.
I'll hold him off in two minutes, and then I'll join you.
- You got that? - Yes.
Here we go.
Go.
Go!
Why?
Why?
Why?
Get out of here!
Why?
He's my sister!
Go!
Go!
Oh, my God.
I'm sorry.
Now you're gone, you animal!
It's not an old man now, Mason!
You mongrel!
Drown! Drown!
You know how to come up?
Drown, you animals! Drown!
This one's for the cops and murdering mongrels!
Dead!
You animal!
You maggot!
The bastard.
Miss Is Golan. Miss Is Officer Collins.
You can come out now.
It's all over.
Miss Is Golan. Come out now.
It's a safety command.
Miss Is Golan.
Miss Is Officer Collins.
Are you in there?
Mrs. Gawlin, show yourself.
I'm here. Here.
Help me.
Well, if it isn't, the pretty lady herself.
I'll kill myself.
You've made this very, very messy.
And I don't like that!
-
Marie?
Marie?
I don't want to hurt you.
Marie?
Marie?
My-- that place, special--
oh.
No.
No, Marie.
No.
No.
No.
No, no, no, Marie.
No.
- -
Check the car.
Kill him. Kill him. Kill him.
I'm sorry.
Loving from a distance, longing from afar
Needing so to know your touch, imagining you are
Close enough to feel my need and hunger for me too
Your eyes reveal your need for me
To love you as I wish
But if we pass
You cannot even pass the time of day
Uncaring, unknowing
You go away
Too far away
I must bring you closer
Somehow make you care
Let me know the warmth of you
Let me take you away
You will learn to meet me
As the end meets frame
And loving from a distance
Will be gone and within pain
I'll give you love to last forever
If you'll just remain
But I'll notice I need it
I'll wait for you
I wait in vain
I must bring you closer
Somehow make you care
Let me know the warmth of you
Let me take you away
You will learn to need me
As the earth beats rain
And loving from a distance
Will be gone
And within pain
