He looks tired and worried about his situation.He closes the door behind him and leaves his stuff on the living room. INT. KITCHEN - NIGHT Martin walks into the kitchen and opens cabinet by cabinet looking for his pills but he cannot find them. He looks confused as he finds a couple of cabinets and the cupboard open. There are dirty dishes, bread, and milk on the kitchen counter. Martin is very confused because his wife always keeps the kitchen clean. Martin breathes heavily as he tries to organize and clean up the mess but he gets frustrated. He rubs his face in confusion and frustration. INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT Martin walks out of the kitchen towards his little daughter's room and unties his tie in the hallway. He looks inside of her room from the hallway and does not see her. He then walks to his room and looks inside of it from the hallway and does not see his wife either. MARTIN Sophia? Sandra? INT. SOPHIA'S ROOM - NIGHT Martin walks into Sophia's room and looks for her inside the closet and bathroom. She is nowhere to be found. INT. SANDRA'S ROOM Martin looks for his wife everywhere in their room but does not find her either. He looks more worried than confused. It is late and they should be home. MARTIN (CONT'D) Sophia? Where are you baby? INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT Martin looks for his phone inside his pocket but it is not there. He looks scared and knows that something odd is happening. A female voice screams in the distance. Martin looks scared
2. and confused. He does not know where the screams are coming from but they become louder. Martin rushes to his daughter's room. INT. SOPHIA'S ROOM - NIGHT There is still no one in Sophia's room but he can hear the voice more clearly. It is his wife screaming and sobbing. SANDRA Why Martin? Why did you do it? INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT Sandra is nowhere to be found but Martin walks towards his room. On the way there he gets dizzy. He cannot walk straight and a piercing whistle does not let him walk. Martin grabs his head in desperation. He tries to walk to his room through the hallway and sees a ghostly figure that looks like his wife running away from him. Martin is desperate, he follows his wife to their room when he is suddenly interrupted by someone hitting the back of his head. He turns around but he doesn't see anyone. He knows what is happening. He then decides to go to Sophia's room instead. INT. SOPHIA'S ROOM - NIGHT Martin enters Sophia's room and once again, he sees nothing out of place. He looks at the mirror but he cannot see himself. He sees Rick with a smile on his face, looking at Martin from the mirror. MARTIN Not again, please! Martin covers his face with his hands and sees them covered in blood. MARTIN (CONT'D) If you did anything to them...I swear I'll kill you! Martin cries and grabs his head with both hands in desperation. RICK I didn't do anything. Anyhow, if you're going to kill me, do it! After (MORE)
3. RICK (CONT'D) all, you would be condemning yourself. Smartass. Rick bites his lip trying not to laugh. Martin hears the sharp whistle again, followed by a hard object hitting his head. He tries to cover his head and protect himself but the punches are getting harder and harder. He looks down protecting his face and tries to reach the body that is hitting him, but he can't feel anything solid around him. There is nothing there. MARTIN Go away! Leave me alone! Martin screams until Rick finally stops. Martin looks down at his hands and sees them still covered in blood. On the floor lies Sophia's body, surrounded by a puddle of blood and Sandra holding her head. SANDRA Why Martin? Why did you do it? Sandra screams and cries holding her daughter's head. Martin looks at the scene in front of him completely paralyzed. MARTIN No, he did it! I'm so sorry! Martin keeps crying looking at his wife and his daughter's body. MARTIN (CONT'D) He's going to pay for what he did baby. I promise! Martin wipes off his tears while Sandra keeps crying. He tries to calm himself down and runs to the kitchen to get a knife. INT. KITCHEN - NIGHT Martin looks for a knife in the kitchen to kill Rick but there is no knives. Not even one. He tries to look for his pills once again. He still thinks that if he takes them it everything will go away but he can't find them. There are blood stains all over the floor that were not there before. He walks out of the kitchen towards his room.
4. INT. MARTIN'S ROOM - NIGHT There are more and more bloodstains on the floor and a bloody handprint on his bedroom's door. Martin walks inside his room and sees another body. His wife, Sandra. Her head is completely covered in blood and it keeps coming out of the wound. MARTIN Sandra? No, please. Make it stop! Martin shakes his head and cries. MARTIN (CONT'D) God, help me! He screams and grabs his head with his hands. He falls on his knees looking at his wife's body. He holds her hand and kisses her bloody forehead crying desperately. Martin sees a knife next to his wife's daughter and grabs it without hesitation. He gets up and tries to recover. He is ready to kill Rick. MARTIN (CONT'D) (CONT'D) Where are you? You're a dead man! I know you're here. Martin looks around his room but doesn't see him. He then turns around to face him. RICK They're dead now and nothing is going to bring them back dude. Not even your precious pills. MARTIN Well...the police won't believe what happened so I need to make justice myself. RICK They won't believe you because you're a crazy man and because you're fingerprints are on the knife. Rick has a look of satisfaction on his face pointing at the knife. Martin looks at him. There is nothing but hatred on his face. Martin points the knife at Rick.
5. RICK (CONT'D) What are you gonna do with that? MARTIN You will not bother me again. Ever again! Martin punches Rick in the face and stabs him in the stomach. Rick looks down at his wound and then looks at Martin with tears in his eyes. He is shocked for what just happened. RICK What have you done? Rick puts pressure on his wound and tries to take the knife away from Martin with the other hand. Martin pushes him away and punches him in the face again.Rick falls down and Martin keeps punching his face non-stop but Rick is able to grab the knife and stab Martin's arm. Martin screams in pain and takes the knife from Rick. He gets up with the knife in his hand. RICK (CONT'D) Stop, please! Rick begs Martin for mercy. He covers his stomach but Martin kneels down and stabs him one last time, right in the middle of his chest. Martin waits for him to lose consciousness but Rick smiles instead. RICK (CONT'D) (CONT'D) I won. Rick looks at Martin's body gushing out blood from his chest, arm, and stomach. Rick smiles at him. Martin looks down and sees his shirt completely covered in blood. He finally realizes what happened and lets go of the knife. Rick slowly fades away while Martin falls to the ground. A voice in his head keeps repeats the same thing until he passes out. RICK (CONT'D) (CONT'D) You killed yourself...you killed yourself.
