Night Train Page #2

Synopsis: Two Passengers and the conductor discover that a person has passed away on their Night Train cabin. They come across valuable diamonds on his person, that they wish to keep for themselves. So, to make it look like the man never boarded the train, they conspire to dump his body in a river that the train passes. Their scheme to get rid of the corpse escalates to the point where they have to chop up his body just to fit him into a small trunk. They then become paranoid, as they might turn on each other.

He doesn't know anything.

I was, and I usually am.

Which is... it's true.

I'm getting off at the next stop.

So, it's as if we're strangers

and we've never met.

Yeah, and it's staying that way.

Miles! Don't...

Follow me, and it's your ass

that's gonna be dumped, not him!

and I can't convince

a working-stiff conductor

to keep a fortune

for his retirement.

Oh, did I mention I suck at my job?

Maybe you should try

convincing him again.

Yeah. Well.

He's made the call by now.

How can you be so sure

what he's doing up there?

Well, what the hell else

would he be doing?

What?

You think he lied?

Huh?

And he's keeping it all for himself?

Stay here!

The only way to get in and out

is with my key.

I'll grab a wheelchair we use

for handicapped passengers.

Right, now we're talking.

We should put him

into something, though,

so that nobody sees him

floating down the river.

We've got suitcases and a trunk

in the baggage car.

Is the baggage car far from here?

At the other end of the train.

Well, we just need

to wheel him over there

without anybody

on the train noticing.

I'll lead the way,

clear a path for you two.

How are you gonna do that?

Diversion, charm.

I'm a salesman, aren't I?

It's a good game.

Too close to the edge.

If you can't attack him effectively,

leaves you weak in

your defenses. Okay?

Don't worry, I'm gonna

help you out, too.

Are you all...

...covered with traveler's insurance

on your stay here?

Well, my company, we specialize

in covering tourists such as yourself.

Here, check it out.

Travel delays...

Oh, oh, oh.

...medical expenses,

in-hospital indemnity,

we've got rental car collisions,

accidental death... happens...

and that's not supposed to be

in there.

What? Marquesas Islands?

- Marquesas...!

- Yeah, yeah, you like?

Marquesas Islands.

It's in the South Pacific, right by y'all.

Here, let me show you. It's, uh...

Yeah, you got Japan up...

And this is only one island

in the whole chain.

All of them, created by volcanoes.

Did you all see me back there,

kicking ass?

I mean, what am I doing in sales?

Check the next car.

There's an old lady sitting in there.

No worries. Okay, Miles? I'm just

gonna sweet talk her, like I did...

Don't worry, honey.

It's all under control.

You know what? In my line of work,

you got to improvise all the time.

Is that how you ended up drunk

on the train

with no idea what stop

you were getting off at?

Hey, come on.

We get delayed, we miss the bridge.

Relax! Okay?

I got it under control.

Come on!

Hold it!

The door seems to be stuck, Poochie.

Oh, good heavens.

Are we going to be stuck

in here for the rest of the journey?
