Knives out| Marta x oc

Harlan's plan

Previously on the last chapter

Harlan: "Listen. If what you said is true I am gone, there's no saving me, we have six minutes. There is one last thing I need to do in this world, and only you both can help me do it. But you need to trust me and do everything Isay."

William: "What do you have in mind."

Marta: "Yeah. What do you want to do?"

Harlan: "Get you out both of this. Think of your mom. Think about your company William and your dead parent- please trust me, we have to make this look ironclad like it can't have been both of your faults. You. Both. Can't.Have done this."

Marta: "My mom...?"

William: "My parents?"

Back to the present

Harlan: "Get up."

There's a knock on the door.

Joni: "Harlan? Marta? William? Everything alright?"

Harlan Marta, and William stand. She's dazed, deer in the headlights, William's worried he's lost in his thoughts. but Harlan's focused and sharp. He turns them away from the door.

Harlan: "Stand here, keep your back to me, don't say a word."

Harlan opens the door. While he gets rid of Joni we stick with Marta and William, who stands stock still, tears running down her face while William was still as a statue and felt numb, eyes wild - what does she do?

Harlan: "Joni."

Joni: "I - hi - I heard something, Is everything ok?"

Harlan: "Oh yes we just, I just knocked over the go board, sorry about that."

Joni: "Everything's alright?"

Harlan: "Yes yes all fine, go to bed Joni."

Joni: "Ok. And maybe we can talk tomorrow about the, uh, the thing with"

Harlan: "Yes. Tomorrow."

Joni: "Love you, Night."

Harlan: "Night night."

Harlan shuts the door. Looks at the knife still sticking in the desk. Then takes Marta's and William's shoulders, looks in their eyes.

Harlan: "Your mom is still undocumented, if this is your fault she'll be found out and at best deported, your family will be broken."

A new kind of fear in Marta's eyes.

Marta: "Oh god"

Harlan: " And William you're probably get questioned and put in jail for helping the murderer."

Harlan: "But we're not going to let that happen. I have a plan, it's not going to be easy but you have to do exactly what I tell you. Will you do this Marta William? This last thing. For me, and for your family and for yourself Will you. Please."

Both were terrified. But they nod.

NIGHT OF THE PARTY

Walt smoking and Jacob.

Harlan: "Go downstairs as noisily as you can, say goodbye loudly."

Marta: "Walt! Me and William leaving!"

Marta and William exit quickly, down to both of their car.
