Chloe, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door. Last week's story showed us how silence can hide a secret. This week, the silence is a countdown. No, I'm not kidding. I'm serious. Go to the window in the living room. The one by the couch. Can you see the porch? Is he still there? Okay. Okay. Now, walk away from the door. Go to the back of the house.
The master bedroom. And lock the door. DO IT. What do you mean, ‘it’s just Mark’? It is never ‘just Mark.’ You have to listen to me. I know you think he's harmless. I know he seems… sad. That's the point. That's the whole act. No, I'm not overreacting. There are things… things I found out. After you two broke up. Things he said to me.
I can't tell you right now, there isn't TIME. You just have to trust me. For once in your life, can you please just trust me without a thousand questions? He's knocking again? Louder? Okay… okay, don't answer. He'll go away. He has to. Why are you walking back to the door? Chloe, NO. Stop. I am five minutes away. FIVE. I'm running every red light.
Can you just give me five minutes? Hide in the bathroom. The closet. ANYWHERE. Just get away from the door. What was that sound? That little click. The deadbolt. You didn't. Chloe, you didn't open the door. Tell me you didn't. I can hear him. I can hear his voice. Oh my god. Put me on speaker. RIGHT NOW. Chloe? Can you hear me? Mark, you get the HELL away from her.
No... Chloe, what's happening? Why did you drop the phone? TALK TO ME. I hear... shuffling. A thud. What was that thud? CHLOE! Please… just say something. Anything.
