Who is this?
Clock
I am Clock.

Do I know you?
Clock

Emily
Who is this?
Clock
4:48
Emily
Is that supposed to mean something?
Clock
4:44
Emily
Would you stop texting me, please!
Clock
4:42
Emily
If this is you Johnny, it’s a stupid prank and I don’t get it.
Clock
This is no prank.
Clock
This is not Johnny.
Clock
I am Clock.
Emily
What do you want?
Clock
4:30
Emily
Is that supposed to be something of a count down?
Clock
Yes.
Emily
To what?
Clock
Your death.
Clock
4:20
Emily
This isn’t funny.
Clock
4:16
Emily
I’ll call the police.
Clock
The actions you committed have caused the expiration of your life to come sooner.
Emily
What actions?
Clock
The actions of the night of November 18.
Emily
How do you know about that?
Clock
4:04
Emily
I asked you a question!
Clock
4:00
Emily
I don’t believe anything that you’re saying.
Clock
You are currently walking southbound on Main Street.
Emily
Are you following me?
Clock
If you do not change your actions, you will die.
Emily
You’re just trying to scare me.
Clock
If you stop walking and look to your left, a red car will pass by almost hitting a stray dog.
Emily
You can’t predict something like that.
Clock
Look now.
Emily
How did you know that was going to happen?
Clock
3:40
Emily
Who are you?
Clock
I would not concern myself with who I am but rather what you must do.
Emily
What do I have to do?
Clock
That night. What you did. Do you remember?
Emily
Yes. My friends and I snuck into a department store and took some items.
Clock
You left the back door unlocked. This caused a deranged man to get possession of a kitchen knife that will be used on your friend.
Emily
Who?
Clock
Ronda.
Emily
How do I stop it from happening?
Clock
3:20
Emily
How do I stop it?
Clock

Emily
Are you saying I have 3 minutes left?
Clock
Yes.

I’m running to her house now!

Please, don’t do this!

Clock

I’m inside with her! Now what?

You have to keep her safe.
Emily
How?

Stop it from happening.

And how do I do that?

Emily
Where?
Clock
Outside.
Emily
The cops will get him. I can hear the sirens.
Clock
They won’t come in time.
Emily
What do you mean?
Clock
He’s going to get inside.
Emily
What?
Clock
2:00
Emily
I heard the door break open! Tell me what to do!
Clock
Keep your body pressed against the door and use your feet to push against the sink.
Emily
Why?
Clock
He will not be strong enough to get in.
Emily
Are you sure?
Clock
1:48
Emily
I hear him coming up the steps!
Clock
Do as I said.
Emily
Okay!
Clock
1:40
Emily
I’m against the door. He’s trying to push it open.
Clock
Use all of your force.
Emily
He’s yelling at us to open the door.
Clock
Don’t do it.
Emily
He’s so strong.
Clock
The police will be there in one minute and forty-two seconds.
Emily
I can’t do it!
Clock
You have to.
Emily
Is he going to leave?
Clock
1:20
Emily
Is that when he’ll leave?
Clock
1:26
Emily
He’s kicking the door and it’s slightly opening!
Clock
It’s almost over.

He’s gone.
Emily
You’re right. He left.
Clock

Emily
Is it over?
Clock

Emily
Hello?
Clock
You survived the attack. Congratulations.
Emily
It’s over?
Clock
Your friend will live to see another day.
Emily
Thank you for helping us.
Clock
You’re the one who made up for her actions.
Emily
I swear I’m never going to do anything like that again.
Clock
You won’t.
Emily
How do I even explain this to Ronda?
Clock
You won’t need to.
Emily
She’s asking me questions.
Clock
I will speak to her soon. Right now, enjoy this moment.
Emily
I don’t know who you are but I am grateful.
Emily
Now what?
Clock
It is time.
Emily
For what?
Clock
0:46
Emily
What is that for?
Clock
Step out the bathroom.
Emily
What is that count down for?
Clock
0:38
Emily
Isn’t it over?
Clock
You have to trust yourself. Everything you’ve done was perfect.
Emily
I don’t understand.
Clock
No one does.
Emily
I can hear the cops pulling in.
Clock
They cannot save your destiny. Only you can.
Emily
Tell me why do I have to do anything more.
Clock
Something as simple as the opening of a door can lead to the most significant changes in our lives and in the lives of others.
Emily
You want me to step out?
Clock
And be sure to shut the bathroom door behind you.
Emily
Okay. Hold on.

Ronda, is that you?
Emily
Yes. I’m behind the bathroom door.
Emily
That man appeared out of nowhere and killed Emily!
Emily
He’s trying to get into the bathroom.
Emily
The cops are inside the house.
Emily
I heard the window break. I think the man escaped.
Clock
Ronda, I need you to know something.
Emily
What?
Clock
He will return for you.
Emily
When?
Clock

Emily
What does that mean?
Clock
Ronda, I need you to type “bye bye”.
Emily
The cops are calling out to me.
Clock
Ronda, type “bye bye”.
Emily
