Cry_Wolf Page #3

Synopsis: Nobody believes a liar - even when they're telling the truth. When a young woman is found murdered, a group of local high school students decide to further scare their classmates by spreading online rumors that a serial killer called "The Wolf" is on the loose. By describing "The Wolf's" next victims, the students' game is to see how many people they can convince - and if anyone will uncover the lie. But when the described victims actually do start turning up dead, suddenly no one knows where the lies end and the truth begins. As someone or something begins hunting the students themselves, the game turns terrifyingly real.

you're not paying attention.

I'm going to need

these articles by this Friday,

at the latest.

Now if any of you

are having a hard time...

thinking of something

to write about other than...

the most recent development

in this local tragedy...

I'd be willing

to meet with you privately.

And they only just found

that girl this morning...

because her body was dragged

through the woods by a wolf.

Yeah. Listen, the guy

blew her head off...

then let the wildlife

just go to town.

Why does it have to be

a guy?

Please.

Serial killers

are always men.

Just the ones

that get caught, baby.

Serial means

more than one, jackass.

You're not taking

your SAT book to my lake house

this weekend, are you?

Right, Owen, my dad...

The senator.

The senile drunk,

is sending a limo

to take us all...

to the lake house

on Friday.

Nobody ever stays here

on the weekends.

You in?

Yeah, sure.

I'm not going to be able

to make it, I got plans.

What?

By plans you mean

herpes, right?

Actually, by plans,

I mean I'm going...

to State tomorrow

to see the sweet Jenny Ryder.

It's Wednesday.

I know.

And I'm declaring my own

"Randall Gets Laid"

Holiday Weekend.

And I'm going to punch

Miss Ryder's v card"..."

[exclaims]

(Tom)

Nice.

Thank you.

Can I borrow your car?

Yeah, man.

Yeah, just, you know,

leave the keys

on the tire and...

don't get any blood

on the back seat.

I wouldn't dream of it.

Actually, I would like this

to be special, you know.

Like, in the middle

of the woods,

up against a tree.

You're a pig.

You're a dyke.

Die a violent death.

[Moaning]

Yeah well,

if that's your technique...

I weep for Jenny Ryder.

I bet you do.

So are we going

to play the game

before the weekend?

Not sure I want to.

Well, what else

are we going to do

around here, study?

Owen had a decent point

last night.

About us knowing each other

too well.

It's so incestuous.

So you just want to stop?

Because of the new guy.

Thank you.

Not necessarily.

Well then, what?

We'll play

with the whole school.

They're the sheep,

and we're the wolves.

I don't think they'll all fit

in the chapel.

(Dodger)

Let me ask you a question.

What's the best way

to play the game?

Lie your ass off.

Defend your honor.

Accuse your neighbor.

Exactly.

Nobody knows

who killed that girl.

So why don't we

make an accusation?

So what are you suggesting?

Let's convince them

the murderer is on campus.

And he's just getting

started.

All right.

But how do we do that?

[Tom tittering]

You guys

have no imagination.

It's like

you're playing checkers.

And I'm playing chess.

I had fun last night,

thanks for the invite.
