Cry_Wolf Page #5

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.

trying to play

the big balcony scene...

gets his intestines

ripped out.

[Chuckles]

Who else?

Let's not forget

the campus queen.

Her sharp wit was dulled

when she choked...

on her own severed tongue.

[Groans]

You people

are deeply unwell.

Four years in the same place

with the same people.

What do you expect?

(Randall)

Last but not least.

The good guy that fell

for the bad girl.

Died of a broken heart.

I didn't know you were

such a romantic, Randall.

I'm not.

But I do love the irony.

We'll get this out tonight,

leaving plenty of time...

for the rumors to spread.

(Ra)

Lights out.

If I get caught

in the boys' dorm again"..."

Yeah, that hasn't happened

since we hooked up, huh?

By hooking up,

you mean jerking off...

to my yearbook photo, right?

Dude, don't you want

to use an anonymous account?

Why? I'm just

forwarding it along.

With sensitivity and respect.

Owen, Tom,

I said lights out!

Hey, did you guys hear

what I said? Go to bed.

[Beeps]

[Door slamming]

Do you think anyone

will believe it?

I'm telling you,

I read the e-mail.

It's happening.

Just like it did

at that other school.

The first girl,

she was shot

in the face.

I forwarded it"..."

(boy)

To my brother.

He sent it to everyone

he knows.

He told me to get off-campus

this weekend

if I didn't wanna get gutted.

He said the second girl"..."

[students chattering]

[Cell phones ringing]

(Rich)

Owen, just the man

I want to see.

You got a minute?

Sure.

What's in the box?

Antique chess set.

Got to love eBay.

Just now

discovering the Internet?

(Rich)

So I read your e-mail.

Someone forwarded that to you?

Sure did.

Someone also sent it

to the victim's mother.

Who forwarded it

to her attorney.

He called

the Headmaster's office

this morning.

She assumes it originated

off-campus. Don't worry.

I'm not inclined

to inform her otherwise.

Why would I worry?

I glanced at your records

this afternoon.

I see your father

pulled some strings

to get you in here.

Dear old dad.

I also saw that your status

here is probationary.

So you end up

in the Headmaster's office...

you might as well

pack your bags.

Bringing the b*tch out early.

Just keeping you

on the defensive.

Speak for yourself.

[Chuckles]

The arrogance of youth.

Don't you mean

the confidence?

Actually,

I meant the ignorance.

You know, it was just for fun.

Yeah, I do.

But you've got to know

it had some real consequences.

No offense, Mr. Walker.

This is high school.

Nothing's for real.

[sighs]

[Cell phone ringing]

To buy as many properties...

Sorry. Just a second.

Sorry. Just my son.

Go ahead.

(Charles on voicemail)

Hello, this is

Charles Matthews.
