Cry_Wolf Page #4

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.

Who said I invited you?

I thought Tom said.

Relax, I'm kidding.

I wanted to apologize, too.

I didn't mean to piss

on you guys with that bit

about the tells.

Sure, you were just trying

to impress me.

What makes you say that?

Well, I just...

Relax, I'm kidding.

So, I had an idea

on how to convince

the rest of the school...

there's a murderer on campus.

I'm listening.

What if this

isn't a random murder,

but a serial killer.

You already lost me.

Let's just say

someone forwarded us

an e-mail.

About not one,

but a series of murders

that happened before.

Go on.

And the first victim died

in identical fashion

to our townie.

So it's happening again.

Why else would the police

be investigating Westlake?

They're not.

Telling the student body.

It would be our duty

to warn them.

Meet me in the library.

We're going to create

a killer.

(Dodger)

He needs a name.

The Wolf?

That works.

Okay. What else does every

good mass murderer have?

Something that he wears.

Something

that covers his face

but anyone can buy.

Pantyhose?

What? Is he robbing a bank?

My old roommate,

he used to go hunting.

He had one of those

neon ski masks.

Orange doesn't exactly

inspire fear.

Come on, it's the new black.

Okay.

There are plenty of

deer hunters around here.

Give him a camo jacket, too.

What's his weapon

of choice?

Well, the girl was shot.

Yeah, but a knife

would be scarier.

Don't get me wrong,

I love

the phallic imagery...

but serial killers

rarely change their M.O.

But don't you see?

This is his pattern.

Remember this is not

the first time

our boy has struck.

Of course, he goes

from campus to campus.

Following the exact

same plan.

The first death

is always a townie.

Which is just a warning shot.

Before he attacks

the school.

And the massacre begins.

On the full moon.

That's this weekend, right?

It's Halloween.

It's so obvious.

It's perfect.

So who were

the original victims?

So the first person killed

was obviously the town slut...

shot in the face

while lost in the woods.

Okay. Who's next?

What if the Wolf

waited for his prey

in the back seat of a car?

(Randall)

What if you were

any more cliche?

Like you can do better.

Dark hair, brown eyes.

Killed while

looking in the mirror.

A victim of

her own narcissism.

That means conceited.

Anyone else?

Self-mutilating de-virginizer,

eviscerated in the chapel.

No, it should be special

for him.

Lock up the misogynist pig

and let him bleed to death.

Right after castrating him.

Very slowly.

Can the Wolf do

microscopic surgery?

[Randall laughing

sarcastically]

[Laughs]

Laugh it up, drama boy.

You're next.
