Dark Horse

SCENE ONE

FADE IN:

INTERIOR: OLD TRAILER HOUSE

Night. A single lightbulb in a lamp with no shade. No curtains at the filthy window. A rusty old iron bed frame. Stained mattress with no sheets.

Erin sits on the bed, huddled against the headboard, frightened, naked. She is chained to the bed by one wrist. Her hair is a mess. Mascara rings her eyes. Her lower lip is split and bloody.

She is very aware of the camera and the director of the scene. She tries to cover as much of herself as she can. She is crying softly, trying to hide her face.

DIRECTOR

Look at the camera, bitch. Say your line.

She shakes her head, still hiding.

DIRECTOR

Say it! You want me to make you?

She shakes her head and looks at the camera.

ERIN

Help me.
