Our Little Secret - Part 3
by Rammy Park
Oh my god.
Kat I’m so sorry…
This can’t be happening.
Kat, she’s gone.
I don’t understand…
Where did they find her?
In the woods.
What woods?
I don’t know…
They’re saying a spot right by Jesse’s house…
Yeah - you can see the house in the background.
Oh my god Lynne is freaking out.
This is awful.
Jesse…
He said…
He was in the woods.
What?!
You didn’t mention that!!
When did he say that??
That’s where he was this morning…
When he texted me.
When everyone was already looking for him?
Oh god…
We fought about it…
I mean…
I asked why he was in the woods of all places…
And he like…kind of snapped at me about it.
Like it wasn’t an important part of the story.
Kat. You have to tell the police.
Right away. Right now.
No. I don’t believe…
It can’t be!
But it is, Kat.
And, you can’t see it, because you love him.
But this has been the truth all along.
No.
I have such a strong voice inside of me…
Saying, no – it’s impossible. It just can’t be.
You’re wrong about him Kat.
I’m sorry but you are.
And now he’s killed someone.
He’s dangerous.
And he’s on the loose!
You have to do something.
You have to come clean.
How could I not notice something like this?
That my boyfriend is a killer??
Is that seriously even possible?
I don’t understand…
I think I’m going to be sick…
Kat. I know this is a lot to handle.
But now I’m worried you’re in danger, too.
He would never -
He WOULD.
He already did.
Em he’s texting me…
He’s asking where I am.
DO NOT RESPOND.
DO NOT TELL HIM WHERE YOU ARE!!
He won’t stop texting me!
Em I’m scared.
You need to go to the police. Now.
Tell them everything.
Clear up last night.
Tell them about the woods.
Will you stay on the phone with me?
Of course
Come clean about everything NOW and it’s all going to be ok
Oh god oh god he won’t stop texting
he keeps asking where are you where are you
Stay strong, Kat!
Don’t respond!
I’m here for you.
Oh god, what have I done.
Are you holding up ok?
Besides all the reporters?
(I keep telling them to back tf off, btw.)
Thanks.
Thanks for everything this week, Em.
I don’t know what I would’ve done without you.
You’re a true friend.
I’m really proud of you Kat.
You were so strong and you did the right thing.
It still feels wrong.
I don’t know.
Everything just feels upside down.
Like I don’t even know myself anymore.
Well you’re basically a local hero.
That’s the worst part.
I couldn’t feel further from it…
You helped put a dangerous person in jail.
It’s still hard to think of Jesse that way…
Dangerous.
But he was.
He is.
I guess…
You know I can’t stop thinking about Lynne.
I keep seeing her in my dreams.
Oh my god I know.
I cried so hard at the video of her at the funeral.
She could barely stand.
I was really awful to her.
Espeically when she first reached out to me.
I said some really awful things about her being a terrible mom.
You should just call her and see how she’s doing.
Apologize.
I’m sure she’ll appreciate it.
That easy?
That easy.
I’m really glad you’re back in my life again, Em
Me too. ☺
Now go call Lynne.
Bury your demons.
Kat calls Lynne.
Lynne it’s Katherine.
I haven’t seen you since the funeral…
I just wanted to see how you were doing.
Katherine. So thoughtful. Thank you.
Life is very different than it was just a week ago.
Upside down.
Yeah…
I know exactly what you mean.
Lynne…I wanted to apologize.
I was so awful to you.
When you first reached out to me after Jenny went missing….
I can’t help thinking I should’ve listened to you from the very start.
And if I had…maybe Jenny would be…I don’t know…alive.
Don’t think that way Katherine.
I’ve had some time to think about all the ways it could’ve been different, too…
And it’s a waste of time.
A waste of precious life.
Enough life has been wasted.
Don’t go and waste yours, too.
Are you going to stay in town, you think?
I’m not sure yet.
The house feels so empty and quiet.
Just a week ago it was so noisy.
I can’t imagine what that must be like.
I don’t think I could stay in a house with memories like that.
Perhaps.
But a house is a house.
And a few bloodstains on a door don't ruin a place.
Is that a famous saying or something?
What do you mean?
What you just said…
A few bloodstains on a door don’t ruin a place…?
I don’t believe so…
You’ve been so considerate Katherine.
Thank you so much for checking in on me.
It’s Kat.
And no…
Hold on.
Why would you mention bloodstains??
Jesse told the police he saw bloodstains...
But I thought he was lying?
I have no idea what you’re talking about.
How would you know about the bloodstains?
How do YOU know about the bloodstains?!
That’s my question to you, Kat.
How do YOU know about the bloodstains??
You and Jesse together…creating this story.
It’s an awful thing to put me through - don’t you think?
Oh my god.
I can’t believe what I’ve done.
Jesse was telling the truth.
Oh my god oh my god oh my god.
It’s too late for all that dear.
Too late for Jesse.
No.
He’ll be tried as an adult.
No, no, no, no, no!
He’ll be gone for a very, very long time.
This can’t be happening.
I’ll go to the police. Tell them the truth.
You? Tell the truth? Again? Please.
All your flip flopping…
You’re lucky you’re not in there with him right now.
If you hadn’t turned on Jesse, and helped me frame him…
I would’ve made sure they locked you up too.
I can’t let you get away with this.
But you already have.
I should’ve believed him.
I should’ve believed myself!!!
I knew something wasn’t right…
Jesse would never…
It doesn’t matter.
The cops think he would and did.
Oh god what have I done??!
You’ve helped make everything right.
The police have their man.
I have my house.
And now…
We have our own little secret.
