Ethan: Cass; why didn't you eat your food?
She glares at him
Ethan: I asked you a question
She spits at him. He wipes his face
Ethan: Looks like someone needs to be taught a little lesson
He unties her other hand then forces her up. She starts pulls away but he pulls her to him so she starts attaching him. Everyone is in shock as they watch. Ethan throws her to the ground then grabs her by the hair and starts dragging her. She starts screaming while grabbing his hand. He drags her to the basement door, opens it, and throws her down the stairs
Ash and Axl: Cass!
Ethan looks at them
Ethan: Quiet both of you!
Ash: She's just scared
Ethan looks at Cass whose on the floor in pain then closes the door and goes over to Ash
Ethan: She's scared huh? Are you scared Ash?
Ash: Yeah
Ethan: Why? You've been behaving since you've been here. You have nothing to worry about
Ash: You're hurting her
Ethan: She's doing this to herself. All she has to do is cooperate. Simple as that
He puts his hand on her cheek and pats it. He goes back to the basement door
Ethan: Everyone better be where they're at when I get back
He goes in the basement. Axl looks at Ash and grabs her hand. She looks at him
Axl: Did he hurt you?
She shakes her head
Axl: I can't believe that bastard took you. We were all worried. What happened?
Ash: I came over to give him a gift. He invited me to dinner so I stayed then heard something in the basement so I went down there and saw
She looks at Kristine
Ash: Her. I was there when he cut out her tongue
Axl: My god
Ash: After that, he chased me into the woods and drugged me
Axl: That son of a bitch. I'm sorry you had to go through that
He kisses her hand and leans his head on hers
Axl: We're going to get out of this
She nods and looks at Kristine
Ash: Kristine
She looks at her
Ash: He said he had other girls here; what happened to them?
She slides her finger across her neck
Axl: Oh my god, he's going to kill us
Kristine shakes her head then uses her finger to "write" on the table. They look
Ash: Obey
She keeps going
Axl: The
She keeps going
Ash: Rules
Cass lets out a blood curdling scream. Everyone looks at the door in shock. The scream gets louder. They all look at each other in panic. Ash holds Axl's hand tighter. The screams finally stop. It's a moment of silence until the door opens. Ethan comes out covered in blood. Everyone eyes get wide
Ash: Oh my god!!
Ethan: I didn't fucking kill her, relax!
Ash starts crying. He goes over to the kitchen sink and starts washing the blood off his hands. Ash keeps crying. Ethan hits the sink, turns it off, and starts walking over to her. Axl let's go of Ash's hand then glares at Ethan. Ethan stands next to Ash
Ethan: I said relax
Ash: What did you do to her? What the fuck did you do?!
He grabs her face
Ethan: Calm yourself!
Ash: You killed her; didn't you?
He unties her other hand and pulls her up
Ethan: I'll show you
He takes her inside the basement and over to the trunk. He unlocks and opens it
Ethan: See for yourself
She can hear Cass crying
Ash: Cass?
Cass sticks her head out
Cass: Ash?
Ash covers her mouth. One of Cass's eyes were gone. Cass sticks her hand out to her
Ethan: Get back in there
He grabs her head and forces her back in. He closes and locks the trunk. Cass starts banging on the trunk while yelling. He looks at Ash. She's standing there in shock but looks at him
Ethan: See? Still alive
He grabs her hand and takes her back upstairs
