Opening

FADE IN: EXT. CAR
A girl (MOLLY)is driving down a country road, she's listening to the radio "Zombie Zoo" is playing. She takes her eyes off the road for a second, when she looks back there's someone standing right in front of her car. Screaming, she tries to break, but it's too late. She hits the person.


She gets out and finds the body of the person she hit, lying on the road. Blood is seeping from their head. Panicking, she opens up her boot and piles the body inside and speeds away.

FADE OUT

INT. HOUSE.
A guy (JACOB)is sat with a laptop. Various noises are heard, including msn, etc.

CUT TO: EXT. HOUSE
MOLLY pulls up outside a house. Stopping for a moment to think about what she's done, she stares ahead of her, tears begin to form in her eyes. She gets out of the car and runs to the house.

CUT TO: INT. HOUSE
The girl stands in the kitchen and pours herself a glass of water. The guy from before comes through. She is visibly distressed.

JACOB
What's wrong?

MOLLY
You're into all that CSI crap, right?

JACOB
(laughing)
Yeah... Why? Killed someone?

MOLLY says nothing.

JACOB
That's where you say "Oh, no.. Nothing like that.."

MOLLY finishes the water in her glass and looks at him.

JACOB
What the fuck have you done?

MOLLY lets out a sigh.

MOLLY
It's in the car...

MOLLY begins walking to the car, with Jacob following her.

CUT TO: EXT. DRIVEWAY/STREET

JACOB
What's in the car?
...
Molly, what have you done?
...
I don't want to get caught up in anything... Anything, illegal.
...
Molly!?
...
I hate you sometimes, you know that, right?
...
I could just go back into the house, I don't have to deal with your shit.
...
Why are we even friends?
...

They get to the car, MOLLY opens the boot.

MOLLY
It's gone!

JACOB
It's gone? What's "it"? Where's it gone?!

MOLLY
The body. I hit someone with my car.

JACOB
...The body?..

(talking to himself)
The body! Of course! What else? Why wouldn't you put the body of someone you just killed into the boot of your car?

(to MOLLY)
I'm going back inside. Might be a good idea if you just left.

CUT TO: INT. HOUSE
JACOB enters the house again, stressed, he walks to the living-room, he is followed closely by MOLLY.

MOLLY
You're supposed to help me!

JACOB
HELP YOU!? Help you with what, exactly?

MOLLY
With... With the body..? You know things, you've seen the shows.

JACOB
SHOWS. TELEVISION PROGRAMS. They're not documentaries!

MOLLY
Yeah, but you know more than I do.

JACOB
Perhaps, but at this stage I'm wondering if there is anyone who doesn't! - Also, let us not forget, that boot was empty. If you did hit someone and put them in there, you didn't do a very good job of killing them!

MOLLY
They were dead. I made sure.

JACOB
What do you mean, "made sure"? Whack them over the head with a shovel before dumping them in the car?

MOLLY
No! I checked for pulse, etc. There was nothing. No breathing, nothing.

JACOB
Well, it didn't just up and walk away itself now, did it?!

CUT TO: BLACK
