Kill for Me (2013)

Hey, it's Amanda. Leave a message.
It's Natalie.
Cameron came by the bar tonight.
I thought he was gonna hurt me,
he was in my face.
He was totally out of control,
they had to kick him out.
You better deal with this.
Good morning.
Detective Ferris, Detective Howe.
Listen, maybe we could just
start with the last time
that you saw Natalie, and we'll go
through events one thing at a time.
It's me again. This can't be happening.
My car's dead. It's not starting.
I'm stuck on the side of the road, like,
I don't know, five miles from the bar.
I need you to come get me.
Why aren't you answering your phone?
Where are you?
The third factor is outcomes:
The results of these
strategies in action.
We're not just making
predictions here,
not just what we think is
going to happen,
but what are all the other
possible things that don't happen?
If we want to understand, say...
Amanda. Hold on.
Wait. Wait a minute.
If you need someone
to talk to...
I mean,
I could be that person.
You're a really
good friend, Mark.
I'll be okay.
It's just a room.
It has nothing to do
with Natalie.
I can't afford to pay
for an empty room anymore.
Can you?
Hey, I'm Zoe.
Hey. Hailey.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, you too.
Hailey.
Amanda.
Nice to meet you.
- So this is your first year?
- Yeah.
What do you
want to study?
Well, I grew up on a farm,
and I work in an animal hospital,
so I've been thinking
about vet sciences.
So this is it.
Wow.
TV room, cable, DVD player.
The fireplace works, but we
have to go easy on the wood
because the ashes can get messy.
My room.
Amanda's.
And...
This would be your room.
It's great.
# Let's not be so nice ##
Hey.
Hi.
I made you some tea.
Thanks.
It looks nice.
Yeah.
So have you had a chance
to check out campus?
Little bit. I got the basic tour
back in spring.
Well, if you want,
I can show you around.
I appreciate the offer,
but it's okay.
Look, there are
some really cool places
I'm sure that they
didn't show you.
Sure.
Great.
I heard about Klein.
That's amazing.
Who's Klein?
Maria Klein.
Uh, she's like all over the news
about that DNA databank thing.
Yeah, Amanda interned
at her office all summer,
and now she's got a big job
lined up after she graduates.
Where'd you hear
about that?
Everyone's heard about that.
Klein's a big deal.
What?
Does she know?
Know what?
Natalie was my friend.
She lived in your room.
I'm living in a dead girl's room?
She's missing.
Nobody said she was dead.
Look, I'm sorry.
Maybe we should've said something.
Forget it.
It's just a room, right?
I'm gonna go.
Yeah, um, it was nice to meet you,
and I'll see you later.
She used to make us do
the craziest things.
This one time my freshman year,
I was having a hard time.
You know, school, boys...
My parents were always away.
Natalie knew this. Anyway, so she
woke us up at the crack of dawn,
and she shoves us in the car.
She drives us to the country
and doesn't tell us
where we're going.
She booked
a whitewater rafting trip.
I was terrified.
I mean, I was afraid...
I was scared of the water,
the raft, drowning...
Fucking bitch knew it too.
But she had a way about her.
You know, it's like...
It's like that she knew
what was good for you.
So did you do it?
It was the best trip of my life.
She was one of those girls,
you know?
No matter what you
were going through,
or how shitty life was,
when she was around,
everything was okay.
I remember seeing her
in the papers and everything.
I never really paid
much attention though.
What happened?
Natalie was a waitress
at The Black Swan.
She worked one morning till 2 a.m., and
that was the last time anybody saw her.
We put up posters, talked to
people in the bar that night,
read the papers,
followed the news.
Just trying to fit
the pieces together, you know?
Sometimes I even go to that spot
where her car was found
and try to imagine
what happened.
Every scenario in my head is bad.
Hey.
Like you said, she's missing.
She could still be alive.
How've you been?
Haven't seen you in a while.
How's your new place?
Fine.
You gonna stay for dinner?
I went shopping.
I have to go.
Mom said I could have it.
If you need money, just ask.
Wait.
Take it.
Look, I just want to talk, okay?
Figure this out.
There's nothing
to talk about.
Look, I fucked up, okay?
I know that,
but we're supposed
to be together.
You said that, you remember?
I was wrong.
Now move.
Move!
Amanda, please believe me.
I had nothing to do with Natalie!
Don't make me say it again.
Hey!
Hey, you guys are leaving already?
Yeah, so excited.
Have a good weekend.
Thanks. See you later.
Pacify certain interests in the country,
Maria Klein's announcement
last week effectively killed
legislation that would have
seen the creation
of a nationwide DNA databank
for missing persons.
By allowing jurisdictions to opt out,
well, this makes the databank
next to useless before it's even started.
Meanwhile, the families
of missing persons
continue to suffer,
and they continue to wonder
whether their loved ones
have been found and not identified.
For this reason,
Klein?
I am not supporting
this legislation.
Yeah.
Are you worried people are going
to blame you for this not going through?
My message to them,
and Mr. Shaughnessy, is this:
Do it right, or don't do it at all.
The families of missing people,
they deserve better.
Hey, that's you.
Yeah, that was like a week ago.
What did you do for her?
A lot of things.
Primarily, I watched her back,
till this happened.
One of her rivals backpedaled
on some legislation,
and I was the one
who caught it.
Next thing I knew we were
in front of the cameras.
You look good.
- legislation that was ill-conceived
and full of loopholes from the get-go.
It was never going to see
the light of day.
If I hadn't revealed it when I did,
someone else would have.
If people want to blame me
for its failure, they can go ahead.
What?
Nothing.
The questions people
should be asking are,
why were jurisdictions given
the option to opt out?
And why wasn't it mandatory for all
law-enforcement agencies to participate?
It's a major setback, but I don't intend
to let this die a quiet death.
# Tell me is this true? #
# Tell me is this true? #
# One day we'll disappear ##
Hey.
Hey.
Sorry, I thought I heard someone.
I don't hear anything.
Oh, for chrissake.
When are you gonna get it
through your thick skull?
We're done. Now get the fuck away
from me, or I'm calling the police.
I love you.
I always will. Don't you see?
Hey, get your fucking
hands off her! Get off her!
Who the fuck are you?
Come here, jerk-off. You'll find out.
Listen, bitch, this doesn't
fucking concern you...
Fuck!
Fuck you!
I can't believe I ever got
mixed up with that guy.
He was one of the last people
to ever see Natalie alive.
He was there
that night at the bar.
I know he had something
to do with it.
I can't prove it, I just...
I just know.
I told the cops, but they
couldn't do anything about it.
The guy's sick.
He's obsessed.
I don't think he's ever gonna stop.
Mm, gotta go.
Get the fuck back here!
Bitch!
No! No!
No! No!
Get off of me!
Get off me!
He has a gun.
Fuck you.
No! No!
The cops will never believe
it was self-defense.
Amanda.
Think about Natalie, okay?
The police did nothing.
We can do this.
Now help me.
Hey.
Don't worry.
No one's home.
Zoe's not home yet, so that's good.
It's over.
Never happened.
Say it.
Never happened.
Say it again.
It never happened.
Hi, um, I have some information
about a dead body.
On a farm.
Yeah, it might be that
missing girl, Natalie Ross.
Garret Jones?
You mind if we ask you
a few questions?
What's that over there?
I don't know.
- Detective!
- Excuse me.
All I can tell you is
a male between the ages of 20 and 28.
No teeth, no fingerprints.
His face is destroyed.
ID'ing this guy's gonna be a bitch.
Anything else?
My guess, it could be a mob hit.
My property's 115 acres
with access to three different roads.
Anyone can drive in there, kick open a
gate and dump whatever the hell they want.
Just because a body's
found on my property
doesn't mean I had
anything to do with it.
Oh, we got your ax.
You got someone's ax.
You got my fingerprints on it?
No. And you know how I know?
Because it's not mine.
So if you have any evidence
linking me to this crime,
I'd love to hear it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
Found a set of tire tracks
out near where
the body was found.
Now, it doesn't
match your vehicle
or anything else
on your property.
Any idea whose vehicle
those tracks belong to?
Not a clue.
A local man
was taken in for questioning today
after human remains
were found on his farm.
Police were led to believe the body
was Natalie Ross,
the girl who mysteriously disappeared
four and a half months ago.
But police confirmed the body
was an unidentified male.
The death is being treated
as a homicide.
No charges have been laid.
Holy fuck.
Hailey, we're in a lot of trouble.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
What happened?
My dad dropped by
for a little visit.
Your dad?
What?
I called the cops.
What?
Wha...? You called the cops?
Why would...?
Why would you do that?
Are you fucking crazy?
Shit!
Hailey, they can
identify the body
and trace it back to us.
Why would you do that?
Why?!
Because the son of a bitch
killed my mom.
My dad used to beat the shit
out of my mom on a daily basis.
I grew up watching her
take it and take it.
The last few years
she had nothing left.
She was just
a fucking zombie.
I woke up one morning
and she was dead.
Officially, it was a suicide,
but I know it was him.
And then he moved on to me.
I was lucky this time,
because he was sober.
And he's gonna get to drinking again
like he always does,
and he's gonna think
about what I tried to do to him
and it's gonna
screw in his brain,
and he's gonna come back
and he's gonna kill me.
There's a way
that we can fix everything.
We solve both of our problems.
We kill him.
What?
We can pin it on my dad so the cops
think my dad killed Cameron.
Okay? There's no trail
leading back to us.
I can't listen to this.
Look at what he did!
I killed for you,
now you kill for me.
You're sick.
# If I cut you with these scissors #
# And make it go away #
Can I stay here with you?
Of course.
What's going on?
# My timid hand shakes and waves #
# Oh, I notice things #
What happened?
# I wouldn't have days ago #
# The mind is hard to know ##
Well, what are we talking
about here? Trouble at school?
No.
Pregnant?
No.
Hmm. Are we talking
about something illegal?
Yes.
I got myself
involved in something
and I don't know how
to get myself out.
What are the chances
you get caught?
I don't... I don't know.
It's a little difficult
to give you advice.
All right, let me ask you this.
Have you learned from this mistake?
Yes. Yes, absolutely.
Show me one person out there
who hasn't done something illegal.
I suppose if it were me,
I'd do what I had to do
to get out of it
without getting caught,
and then I would never do it again.
We're just human beings.
You know, we make mistakes.
But we can learn from them.
We don't always need the law,
because we have
our guilt and our conscience,
and sometimes
that's more than enough.
It'll be okay.
Why are you doing this?
Why are you doing this?
I'm so glad that you called.
There's something
that I have to tell you.
Hello?
Mark?
I think you should come home.
We need to talk.
What the fuck did you do?
Well, I think that's pretty obvious.
You didn't really
leave me much of a choice.
You're fucking out of your mind.
Oh, you're fucking crazy.
Holy shit. Where is he?
Calm down, he's fine.
Who you calling?
You calling the police?
Okay.
But remember
that I still have the ax,
and it has
your fingerprints all over it.
Officer, it's wasn't me.
Why would I kill him?
I mean, it's her ex-boyfriend.
I guess they got in a fight
and when he wasn't looking
she put an ax
in the back of his head.
Pop!
You fucking bitch!
Do it!
Aah!
Do it!
I don't wanna hurt Mark,
so don't make me hurt Mark.
Fuck, Amanda,
you're free.
I just want the same thing.
Help me and we both
get what we want.
I can't kill your dad.
It's Mark or my dad.
You're going to kill somebody.
He'll be at the bar
till they kick him out.
Give me that.
How do you know
that's enough?
Internet.
Apparently it's sweet.
It doesn't taste that bad.
Put that under the sink.
Who the fuck is that?
It's just someone turning around.
Happens all the time.
Okay, printer works,
lots of ink. We're set.
This is where Natalie worked.
Like clockwork.
She's not gonna go.
That's exactly what you'll do.
Only you're gonna
get in that truck.
I'm a murderer who can
no longer live with myself.
I'm a murderer who can
no longer live with myself.
That's what the note
should say.
Keep it short and sweet.
Print it off his computer,
get his fingerprints on it,
and after you're done, wipe everything down.
Don't touch anything.
Hey. Hey!
Remember, he's a crafty
son of a bitch. He's fucking smart.
You have to stay one step
ahead of him the entire time.
Look,
we can do this.
Okay, this is a good thing
that we're doing.
It may not seem like it now.
# You might've been
right I might've been wrong for you #
# A fallen angel's what you are #
# A fallen angel's what you are #
# You get around
You travel far #
What can I get you?
Um, can I get a beer, please?
Yeah, you bet.
# You played the game
Just like you said #
# Let me try to ease your scars #
# A fallen angel's what you are ##
Okay, so I sign here?
Great.
I didn't know
you were in tonight.
Uh, ahem, I switched with Marie.
I'll need you to get Mrs. Newlander
some Meloxicam, the 8-milligram tablets.
She's out in the waiting room.
They're not doing too good,
are they?
Excuse me. Can I get
a tequila sunrise, please?
Yup. You bet.
You want one?
On me.
No, thanks,
I'm not really a big fan
of those sweet
and fruity cocktails.
Aw, come on.
Can't knock it till you try it.
You might change your mind.
What's your name?
Aren't you a little young
to be honing in on me?
I'm older than I look.
No, you're not.
What are you drinking?
Doesn't have a name.
Just like you.
What's in it?
Half glass beer,
quarter glass whiskey,
quarter glass 7-Up.
That's a cocktail.
No, it ain't.
A cocktail has two or more
ingredients in it,
and one of them
has to be a spirit.
A whiskey's a spirit,
so that, my friend,
is a cocktail.
Yeah?
What are you, cocktail police?
# You had it all
You never broke your back #
It's not bad. For a cocktail.
# You had your stuff
You put it in a box #
For the lady.
Try it.
# You cried to the moon
To the sky #
# Was my happiness my sacrifice? #
Well?
# After you happened #
Do I know you?
# All #
# Lost #
# The object was no cost #
# Fell #
# Down #
# After you happened #
# All #
# Lost #
# The object was no cost #
# The object was no cost ##
You can still change your mind.
If Mo shows any signs of distress,
give her another painkiller.
Okay.
Are you sure you're okay?
I'm fine.
# I am the one #
# Who's disappeared #
# This one's for forgiveness #
# So they say #
# I'm that one #
# I am the one #
# Has no name #
# I have no name #
Is that your daughter?
Yeah. That's Hailey.
She's pretty.
# Who has disappeared #
She is that, all right.
She gets her good looks
from her mama.
I can see some of you in her.
# Who has disappeared ##
Where is she now?
She moved away.
She doesn't come around here
much anymore
except when she, uh,
needs to steal something
for money.
# Every night #
# It's the same #
The kid's pretty messed up.
# I wait for you ##
What do you mean?
She hurts herself.
Cuts.
Bruises.
I don't know why.
One time she threw herself
down a flight of stairs.
The poor kid looked like
she was in a car wreck.
Her and her mom
didn't really get along.
There was a lot
of friction there so...
Maybe that's when it started.
When her mom died...
When she died...
She committed suicide.
She poisoned herself,
which is a horrible way to go.
I've never told anyone.
There was something about it
that just wasn't right.
You can tell me.
She left a suicide note,
and it blamed me for
basically everything.
The thing was printed
off the computer.
I was married to that
woman for 16 years
and I never once saw her
use that computer.
Sometimes I think about
starting over again.
Um...
Finding a new woman
to share my life with,
have another kid.
Try and do it right this time.
We never do get a second chance
to fix the big fuck-ups
in our lives, do we?
No. No, we don't.
So, what's this fruity
concoction of yours, huh?
Does that have a name?
We're through.
Do you understand me?
It's over.
I want details.
I want every single detail.
Don't leave anything out.
I don't know where else
they would've come from.
But they, uh,
popped up and started...
They started grabbing me
and I, um...
I don't know. I don't even know
if it was a man or a woman.
I was wondering if
you could do me a favor.
I've tried calling my dad
and there's no answer.
I'm stuck at school
and I can't make it there.
Is there any way you can check
on him since you live so close?
Uh, yeah, I could do that.
Great. Is there any way you could
go today? I'm getting kind of worried.
Sure, I'll head there now.
Thanks.
- Hello?
- Hailey, hi.
It's Mrs. Farnsworth.
I went over to check on your dad
and I knocked on the door
but there was no answer.
The door was locked
so I just looked around
but I didn't see anything.
I mean, his truck
was in the driveway,
maybe he's gone hunting.
Hey.
Is everything okay?
Hailey?
Drive.
Get out.
Mm-mm. We're gonna go
for a little ride.
Get out of my car!
What do you want?
Look at me.
Drive.
Drive!
This is fucking crazy.
Shh!
Where is he?
I don't know.
That's fucking bullshit!
Maybe he crawled off
and died somewhere.
Wait. Don't drink.
I have to tell you something.
About your daughter.
You know my daughter?
Yeah.
What are we gonna do?
You do what you came here to do.
You carry out your plan.
Did you get it?
Good.
How do you know she'll come?
I know my daughter.
What are you gonna do?
The girl needs help.
I'm gonna see she gets it.
Now get the fuck out of here
and never come back.
Go!
Amanda!
Get in the hole.
Go on.
Get in there! Get in there!
Get in the fucking hole!
Get in the fucking hole!
Look what you made me do.
Shh.
Shh.
We're free.
Amanda?
Natalie.
Who's that?
That's his daughter.
He told me his family was dead.
Said he wanted to start a new one.
Come on.
Let's go.
911. What's your emergency?
We need an ambulance.
I found her.
Natalie Ross.
I found her.
What's the address?
We're at the end
of Little Mountain Road.
I don't know the number.
The police have been here before.
Last month they found a body
in the woods.
I was involved in that.
I knew him.
His name was Cameron McClure.
I helped bury him.
Ma'am?
Ma'am, are you still there?
Yes, I'm here.
I'm not going anywhere.
