Twisted Nerve Page #2

Synopsis: Martin is a troubled young man. With a mother who insists on treating him like a child, a stepfather who can't wait to see the back of him, and a brother with Down's Syndrome shut away in an institution, is it any wonder he retreats into an alternate personality - that of six-year-old Georgie? It is Georgie who befriends Susan Harper, but friendship soon turns into obsession. When Susan begins to distance herself, something inside Georgie snaps and he embarks on a killing spree, with Susan as the next target.

This?

Well... he'll have

fun with this.

But you could have

paid for it.

I was going to.

Cow of a store detective

never game me a chance!

Honest, Mummy.

Oh, Darling, is

that a spot?

Hmm?

Oh, you've got such

a lovely skin.

Must take care of it.

Yup...

I do.

I wish you wouldn't

go down there.

Disturbs you.

Does it?

Ghastly place!

You put 'im there.

It hasn't done his bladder

much good, I can tell you that.

- That's cruel, Marty!

- It's the truth.

- He's happier there!

- Is he?

Of course he is!

Anyway, I had your future

to think about.

Oh, I know...

Pete would have been

a bit of a handicap...

in the marriage stakes,

wouldn't he?

You might never have made it.

Oh, stop it, Martin!

Don't worry, Mum...

it's our secret.

I'll never tell the

old bastard.

Stop it, I say!

- Your father...

- That's not my father!

Mine's six feet under in

Putney... chasing worms!

And from what I

remember of 'im...

they'll be enjoying

his company.

Martin, I sometimes wonder...

whether you feel anything

for anybody.

'Cept you, Mummy.

Ok... all yours.

Yes... you're right.

Have you got the time?

Yes, ten-past nine.

Oh, goodness...

I am late.

Ere... got any change, mate?

And the best of British

luck to you too!

- See you, bye.

- Yes, see you this evening.

Come along, all inside.

Hold tight.

He, he, he.

Here we are...

how 'bout this?

'The Tower of London'?

Get off! That's

history, innit?!

Well, that's blood-thirsty enough.

Even for you, Johnny.

Any girls in it?

Well there's Lady Jane Grey.

She gets the chopper.

I'd rather 'ave Lady

Chatterley.

Mmm, I bet you would!

But you take this...

you'll like it, I promise you.

Thank you.

- There you are.

- Thanks.

- See ya!

- Goodbye, doll!

Bye.

Yes, please?

Hello.

Georgie!

Hello!

What are you doing here?

What's this for?

The duck.

But I told you... that

was a present.

A... present for you.

For me?

Oh, thank you, Georgie!

Thank you, very much!

But how did you find me?

Followed you.

Where from?

Your home.

But if you were there,

why didn't I see you?

There was a black man

with you.

Oh, Shashie.

He's a 'P.G.'

A 'Paying Guest', he

lives with us.

Does he take you

to the cinema?

He hasn't yet...

he might.

Georgie could take you!

Oh... well...

that's very sweet of

you, Georgie, but I can't.

Honestly, I have

to work at night.

Here?

At home... for my exams.

I want to be a

teacher, Georgie.

Oh.

Look, you can't

go around like that...

Here, let me.

Take these, Miss Harper.

Look...

I don't know whether you're

dressing or undressing your friend...

but I do wish you wouldn't

do it in the public library!

Sorry, Georgie.

Leo Marks

Leopold Samuel "Leo" Marks, MBE (24 September 1920 – 15 January 2001) was an English cryptographer during the Second World War. He headed the codes office supporting resistance agents in occupied Europe for the secret Special Operations Executive organisation. After the war, Marks became a playwright and screenwriter, writing scripts that frequently utilised his war-time cryptographic experiences. He wrote the script for Peeping Tom, the controversial film directed by Michael Powell which had a disastrous effect on Powell's career, but has subsequently been described by Martin Scorsese as a masterpiece. In 1998, towards the end of his life, Marks published a personal history of his experiences during the war, Between Silk and Cyanide, which was critical of the leadership of SOE. more…
