Jane
I washed dishes. I cleaned my room.
Dad
Turn on the TV to the local news.
Dad
So, it’s true? He escaped?
Jane
Yes. He killed his way out of The Orange Dawn Asylum.
Jane
Two guards. A nurse. No names.
Dad
Good. My friend who works there is a doctor.
Jane
What does this have to do with anything?
Dad
He escaped on foot. He could be anywhere in the neighborhood.
Jane
The asylum is half a mile away from us.
Dad
Make sure all of the doors and windows are locked.
Jane
I’m pretty sure he’s not around here.
Dad
Listen to me! Make sure everything is locked!
Jane
Dad, I can only go but so fast.
Dad
Go as fast as you can.
Jane
The front door is locked. I’m going to do the windows.
Dad
Check the back door first.
Jane
Don’t you think this guy would have stolen a car?
Dad
He doesn’t know how. Did you check the back door?
Dad
Jane, leave my bedroom for last.
Jane
I don’t understand why you’re being so paranoid.
Dad
I want you to be safe.
Jane
You know, if this guy wanted to get away, he wouldn’t stick around the area.
Dad
Are you done checking everything?
Jane
I’m finished with the kitchen. I’m going to the living room now.
Dad
I’m getting out of work now. When I get home, I’ll let myself in.
Jane
There’s breaking news.
Jane
A sporting goods store was broken into.
Dad
He had to be looking for something.
Jane
None of their glass cabinets containing their hunting knives were broken into.
Jane
Wait. They discovered something.
Jane
A pole pruner is missing.
Jane
What’s a pole pruner?
Dad
Is the house secured?
Jane
I’m doing the living room.
Jane
What’s a pole pruner?
Jane
Please, tell me what’s going on.
Dad
You don’t need to know.
Jane
If I should be concerned, tell me.
Jane
I’m done with the living room. I’m checking the bathroom now.
Jane
Should I shut off the lights?
Dad
I’m getting in the car.
Jane
The bathroom is done. I’m checking my room now.
Dad
Let me know when you get to my room.
Jane
Did you leave my window open?
Dad
Could it have been you?
Jane
You know I hate the cold.
Dad
Don’t take the risk! Get out!
Jane
But I checked everywhere. I’m fine.
Dad
He could be in my bedroom.
Jane
The house is quiet. No one is here.
Jane
I’m going to the room.
Jane
The room is empty. I checked every door, window and closet in the house.
Dad
Okay. Look underneath my bed. You should see a heavy black box.
Dad
Pull the box out and put it on the bed.
Dad
Do you see the number panel?
Dad
Press these individual numbers. 5 2 4 7 6 5 9 0
Dad
You’ll see. You have to enter the numbers quickly and then turn the door handle to open it.
Dad
You have to do it quick.
Jane
Can’t you do it when you get here?
Dad
I’m still twenty minutes away.
Dad
You can do this, Jane.
Jane
What is all of this paper?
Dad
It’s nothing. Now I need to you pay attention, okay?
Dad
I need you to reach your hand into the back of the box. You’re going to feel a heavy object.
Jane
Dad, why do you have this?
Dad
I need you to hide in the closet.
Dad
Please don’t argue with me.
Jane
I don’t understand why I have to do this.
Dad
I promise nothing will happen to you.
Jane
What could happen to me?
Dad
It’s better if you don’t know.
Jane
Dad, if you told me what I need to know, I’ll able to get my head around this.
Dad
What I’m about to tell you is not going to be easy to hear.
Dad
Before you were born, I used to work at the asylum as a doctor.
Dad
My job was to discipline the patients. The methods were harsh.
Dad
One patient was this man. He would always get in trouble to a point where I saw him several times a day.
Dad
One day, the equipment malfunctioned. He was left disfigured.
Dad
I’m afraid he may want to get revenge.
Jane
Why did they call him The Headless?
Jane
Thank you for telling me.
Dad
I’m sorry I never told you. I won’t keep a secret from you again.
Dad
I’m speeding. I’ll be there in five minutes.
Jane
The house is really quiet.
Dad
That’s good. Keep an ear out.
Jane
I thought you wanted the house to sound occupied.
Dad
Did you turn off the TV?
Dad
It’s okay. Stay in the closet.
Jane
If the TV is on, it might scare him off.
Dad
I rather you stay put.
Jane
I’m in the living room.
Jane
I tuned the TV on. Everything is okay.
Dad
A police car is chasing me.
Dad
It’s okay. I’m going to pull over.
Jane
Isn’t it better if you lead them here?
Dad
I going to tell them what’s going on.
Jane
I won’t go anywhere.
Jane
There’s another breaking news report.
Jane
They found his clothes in a gas station.
