Mommy Baddest - Episode 8
by Jo Watson
Present day.
Lilly can’t move.
Her feet are frozen to the basement floor.
The basement she didn’t even know existed under the living room.
The basement where her parents kept Greta a prisoner and lied about it!
Who the hell are her parents anyway?
She looks at the deranged, bloodied woman hopping toward her on one leg.
How can this woman be her mother’s twin sister?
The woman smiles at her. Is she really as dangerous as her parents say she is?
The woman gets closer, closer, closer.
Blood drips from the bone protruding from her ankle.
What do you want?
But the woman doesn’t answer.
Where the hell is her dad? What’s taking him so long?
The woman opens her arms, as if she wants Lilly to hug her. WHY?
She opens her mouth to speak.
“My baby girl,” she says.
Don’t call me that! I’m not your baby.
They lock eyes and a strange, surreal silence descends on them.
Suddenly, Lilly is snapped back to reality by the sound of a car door slamming…
Ed’s wife clutches her phone. She sits alone in a hotel room, waiting for the news she wants and NEEDS to hear:
That Ed has finally killed her twin sister.
She has waited so long for this moment.
She hopes Lilly is safe, though.
God, she wishes she was inside that basement so she could see it happen.
Watch the exact moment that Ed murders her, and her bitch sister takes her last breath.
She stares at her phone screen waiting for it to light up with the news…
Anticipation spikes in her veins.
She wants this so badly…
“Kill her, kill her, kill her,” she chants in her head.
Suddenly her phone beeps.
I think Dad’s here. I can hear a car!
Scream so he knows you’re in the basement.
Scream as loudly as you can!
I can hear his footsteps. He’s running.
Good!! At last.
Dad’s here in the basement!
Thank God!
OMG!
Help! Help!
We need to call the police right now.
Why?
What’s happening?
Oh, God.
TELL ME! What?
Things are out of control, Mom. This is crazy!!!!
Dad’s trying to tie her down to the bed and she’s fighting him.
OMG! Is this what you used to do to her? Tie her down like this?
No wonder she’s so messed up.
SHE DESERVES IT.
After what she did to me, she needs to know what it feels like to be tied down like a prisoner.
Let her rot in there for all I care.
Jesus, Mom, she’s still your sister.
Your twin!
What’s happening now?
Has your dad got the gun?
WHAT?
NO!
I’ve got the gun.
Great! Give it to your dad. Quick.
No!
He can’t shoot her!! Are you crazy!??
He must!
He has to put her out of her misery.
MOM! Are you serious??
You don’t know what she’s like.
How evil she is.
You’re talking about murder!!!
There’s got to be another way.
There isn’t.
What’s happening now?
She’s so strong.
She’s fighting Dad.
Help him tie her down to the bed.
NO!
I don’t want to be a part of this.
You ARE a part of this.
You’re the reason this whole thing happened in the first place.
Jesus. Thanks!
OMG!
This is getting so bad.
I’m calling the police. I’m sorry. I have to.
NO!
Don’t you fucking dare.
That’s not how this is meant to work.
That’s not part of the plan.
Plan?
Screw plans, Mom.
She’s fighting Dad
She’s hitting him.
Give Dad the gun!!
There’s only one bullet.
One is all it takes.
She’s calling Dad Pooh Bear.
Why is she saying that?
God she’s so sick and twisted.
That was my nickname for Dad when we were younger.
Lilly, Greta needs to be put DOWN.
GIVE DAD THE GUN.
There’s blood! Someone’s bleeding.
Who is it coming from?
DAD!
OMG. Dad’s bleeding.
They’re really fighting now.
She’s begging Dad to stop.
She says she loves him.
That bitch has always wanted what I had.
But she doesn’t love him.
Not the way I could love him.
OMG! MOM.
She’s got the chain around Dad’s neck.
GUN!
GIVE IT TO HIM! NOW.
No time.
I’m going to do it.
NO
That is not how this is meant to work.
Don’t shoot her.
Your dad is meant to do it.
The plan needs to be perfect.
I’m so scared, Mom.
I don’t know how to aim.
STOP!!
DO NOT DO IT!
Lilly?
What the fuck is going on?
Tell me!
1 minute later
OMG!
I did it.
I shot her. I shot Greta.
God help me.
I feel sick.
There’s SO much blood.
She won’t stop bleeding.
Oh, my God, she’s dying.
She says she loves me.
That she forgives me.
What have you done you stupid, stupid little girl?
???????
I told you to give the gun to your father.
I told you that.
But NO!
You just didn’t listen to me and now you’ve ruined everything!
EVERYTHING!
What are you talking about?
I just killed someone. A human being. Don’t you get it!!!?!??!
You were NOT supposed to kill her.
Your dad was supposed to kill her.
What are you talking about?
I’ve spent so long dreaming about this moment.
I wanted your father to feel the worst kind of pain and agony imaginable. Just like I have.
You’re scaring me.
I suppose the job has been done, though!
What job?
It didn’t go exactly as planned, but at least she’s dead.
MOM, what are you talking about?
Mom…
Call me Mom again. I like that. Mom.
What’s going on?
I’m freaking out, here!!!!
I just killed Greta. I just watched her die in front of me.
No, you didn’t.
Greta’s not dead.
Greta is still very much alive.
No, she’s not. I just shot her. Greta is dead.
Oh no, darling. I’m right here…
