Quinn walks home alone at night.
The street is dark and deserted.
She takes out her phone and swipes to "Favorites."
Quinn
Please answer. Please answer.
Anishka appears onscreen, waking up in her bed.
Anishka
Quinn? Are you okay?
Quinn
I’m sorry to call so late.
Anishka
It’s fine, but I thought you were on a date.
Quinn
I was, but I had to leave.
Quinn
Anishka, I’m scared.
Anishka
Whoa, what’s going on?
Quinn
I don’t know. Uptown somewhere.
Quinn
I don’t recognize the streets.
Anishka
Slow down. What happened?
Quinn
As soon as we sat down at the restaurant…
Quinn
Oh, god. I think he’s following me.
Quinn
I’m too scared to look.
Anishka
Just point the camera behind you.
Anishka
Keep walking, though.
Quinn
Do you see anyone behind me?
Anishka
No, just darkness.
Anishka
Where are you walking to?
Quinn
Away from the restaurant.
Anishka
Look for a street sign.
Anishka
I’m grabbing my keys.
Quinn
There it is again! I hear footsteps.
Anishka
Don’t stop walking.
Anishka
Look for a crowded place…
Anishka
A bar or something.
Quinn
There’s nothing around.
Quinn
I’m in the middle of nowhere.
Anishka
Okay, don’t panic.
Anishka
I’m walking down to my car.
Anishka
Tell me what happened at the restaurant.
Quinn
As soon as we sat down…
Quinn
He asked about Scott.
Anishka
What? I thought you met this guy on an app.
Anishka
Then how did he know about Scott?
Quinn
He must have recognized my picture.
Anishka
You were in the paper a lot after it happened.
Quinn sees Anishka getting into her car…
And putting her phone in a holder.
Quinn
So we sat down and right away he said:
Quinn
"Aren’t you the girl who killed her boyfriend?"
Anishka
I’m getting on the freeway, Quinn.
Anishka
You need to give me some cross streets.
Quinn
Something moved in the alley.
Anishka
Point the camera behind you again.
Anishka
I still don’t see anyone.
Anishka
Just keep walking.
Quinn
I thought his profile picture looked familiar.
Quinn
But it wasn’t until tonight that I remembered who he was.
Quinn
He was a friend of Scott’s. We met once.
Anishka
He’s just trying to scare you, Quinn.
Anishka
Everybody knows the accident wasn’t your fault.
Quinn
Tell that to Scott’s family.
Anishka
Scott drove you off a bridge, Quinn.
Anishka
How could that be your fault?
Quinn
Anishka, I have to tell you something.
Quinn
It’s about that night.
Anishka
We’ll talk about it after I pick you up.
Quinn
The night Scott died…
Quinn
He wasn’t driving the car.
Anishka
What do you mean?
Quinn
We were crossing the bridge…
Quinn
And suddenly, he grabbed the wheel.
Quinn
Once we were in the cold water, I swam out.
Quinn
And Scott…he just never came back up.
Anishka
Why didn’t you swim in after him?
Quinn
I’ve felt guilty ever since.
Anishka
Why didn’t you ever tell me this?
Quinn
I’m sorry, Anishka. I was scared.
Quinn
I couldn’t tell his parents the truth.
Quinn
So I said it was an accident.
Anishka
Why are you telling me this now?
Quinn
Because the guy at the restaurant—
Quinn
He grabbed my hand and he hissed in my ear:
Anishka
Quinn, listen to me.
Anishka
Don’t panic, okay?
Anishka
Don’t look behind you. Don’t stop walking.
Quinn
You’re scaring me, Anishka.
Anishka
I said don’t stop walking!
Anishka
And don’t turn around.
Quinn
I don’t know where to go!
Anishka
Look for a landmark or something.
Quinn
Um, I see a church up ahead.
Quinn
I don’t know! A white one!
Anishka
Try to get to it.
Anishka
Quinn? Quinn, why are you stopping?
Quinn’s eyes have grown huge.
Anishka
What’s wrong? What happened, Quinn?
Quinn
The footsteps are echoing.
Anishka
I said run, Quinn!
The footsteps run after her.
Anishka
Do you see a street name yet?
Quinn
Yes, Broadview. And Elm.
Anishka
I know where that is.
Anishka
Get inside the church!
Quinn desperately tries the doors of the church.
Anishka
What is it, Quinn?
Anishka
Point the camera behind you.
Quinn
I’m scared. I’m so scared.
Anishka
It’s okay, just do it.
The image from Quinn’s camera is shaky.
But the view behind her is clear:
A young man with a malevolent gaze…
Is less than a block away.
Quinn
What do you see, Anishka?
Anishka
Bang on the church door, Quinn!
Anishka
Yes. And he’s close.
Quinn slowly begins to turn.
Anishka
Don’t look! Just bang on the door!
Sobbing with fear, Quinn bangs on the door.
Quinn
Please! Please open. Please!!
Behind her, the man slowly approaches.
Suddenly, the church doors swing open.
Quinn runs inside, slamming the door behind her.
Anishka
I’m almost there, Quinn.
Anishka
Just a minute more now.
Quinn runs through the church.
The doors open behind her as she knocks over the holy wine.
She makes it to a darkened back office.
Quinn
There’s no other door.
Quinn
I can’t find the light switch.
Anishka
It’s okay, Quinn. I’m at the church.
Anishka
I’m just parking.
Quinn
No, you can’t come in through the front!
Anishka
There’s no sign of him, Quinn.
Quinn
That’s because he’s already inside!
Anishka
I’m coming in the door right now.
Anishka
The place is empty, Quinn.
Quinn
I went to the back, like you told me to.
Anishka
Okay, here I come.
Quinn trembles in fear as the screen shows Anishka’s face.
Her eyes take up the whole screen, staring intently.
Suddenly, every light turns on.
Quinn is crouching down below a large cross.
Quinn
Anishka! Is that you?
Quinn
Did you turn on the light?
Anishka
I’m not in the church.
Anishka pulls her phone away…
Revealing that she’s back in her own apartment.
Anishka
I knew about Scott, Quinn.
Anishka
I knew that you killed him…
Anishka
Because you were drunk when you drove the car off that bridge.
Quinn
No. I swear it’s not true!
Anishka
You were always drunk.
Anishka
I never believed for a second that Scott was driving.
Anishka
That’s why I told his friend to ask you out.
Quinn
Who turned on the lights, Anishka?
Anishka
That’s why I told him to follow you.
Quinn backs into a corner, eying the office door—
Waiting for the footsteps that keep growing closer.
Anishka
Because I have a secret for you, too.
Quinn
Please, Anishka. I didn’t mean to do it.
Anishka
Scott and I were in love.
Anishka
We were going to run off together.
Anishka
But then you killed him.
Quinn
It was an accident!
Anishka
You killed the man I loved.
Anishka
And now it’s your turn.
Quinn’s eyes grow wide in horror…
As the doorknob slowly turns.
