and walks away.

walks in. His name is DETECTIVE MATTHEWS. He is wearing a
suit and tie and also has black hair.
He is carrying a cardboard box. He walks over to the table
and slams the box down. Things are heard in the box as he
slams it down.
DETECTIVE MATTHEWS
Hello Denver Max. How are you
feeling today?
Denver looks at him.
DENVER
I'm doing spectacular. How about
yourself?
Denver smiles at him.
DETECTIVE MATTHEWS
This is not the time to be a smart
ass Denver.
DENVER
Who's being a smart ass... Sir?
Detective Matthews reaches over at him and slaps him in the
face. Denver tilts over a little.
DETECTIVE MATTHEWS
Lets get a few things straight.
Denver sits back up.
DETECTIVE MATTHEWS
You will not be a smart ass in my
presence. You will answer all
questions i ask you and you will do
exactly what i tell you. Do you
understand what i am saying?
DENVER
Of course i do sir.
Denver smiles at him. Detective Matthews reaches his hand in
the box. He pulls out and bunch of folders and slams them
down in front of Denver. Pictures of dead bodies are seen
slipping out of the folders.
DETECTIVE MATTHEWS
Do you know who these people are?
DENVER
Yes sir.
DETECTIVE MATTHEWS
Who are they Denver Max?
DENVER
That girl right there...
Denver points with his head at a picture of a girl. She is
lying on the ground with blood all around her.
DENVER
I met her on a road. She was
walking in the street alone. So i
offered her a ride. She kindly got
in and i took her to my Cabin.
DETECTIVE MATTHEWS
Where is the Cabin?
DENVER
May i finish my story?
DETECTIVE MATTHEWS
You answer all questions i ask you.
Denver smiles.
DENVER
Now i gave her a ride to my Cabin.
I tied her up outside of my Cabin.
Oh she was begging for her life.
Like a little pussy. "Please let me
go, do this, do that, i won't tell
anyone." I told her when i was done
with her i would let her go.

BLACK SCREEN
DENVER (V.O.)
Inside every throat hole, inside
every person's body, there is a
heart. A human heart that can do
extraordinary things. It the cause
for your emotions, your feelings.
And easily that heart can be
broken. My name is Denver Max and i
eat heart attacks.
A slight pause. Breathing is heard. A black man's voice is
then heard. His name is PAT
PAT (V.O.)
Are you gonna make it out alive?
INT. PRISON CELL
Denver opens his eyes. Pat is in a prison cell across from
him. He is standing at the bars.
DENVER
What?
PAT
Are you going to make it out of
here?
Denver looks at Pat.
DENVER
No.
PAT
Do you wanna bust outta here man?
Denver looks over at Pat.
DENVER
Do you want me to cut open your
throat and pull everything i see
out until you have nothing left
inside you. No i didn't think so.
So for your own good i would shut
the fuck up.
Pat stands up furious.
PAT
Boy you don't talk to me like that.
Do you fuckin know who i am?
Denver looks up at Pat.
DENVER
Do you 'fucking' know who i am?
Pat clenches his fists.
DENVER
Sit the fuck down before i have to
kill you.
Denver holds his hand in the light and revels very large
finger nails.
PAT
You don't scare me.
Pat goes to swing at Denver. Denver grabs his arm and throws
him in the floor. Denver then stands up and stabs his finger
nail in his throat. Pat's eyes get big and Denver starts to
pull out his spinal cord.
CUT TO BLACK
CUT TO:
INT. DETECTIVE MATTHEWS CAR - EVENING
Matthews drives slowly along a dirt road looking around.
Suddenly someone runs by in the woods. He stops his car and
gets out of it.
EXT. OUTSIDE MATTHEWS CAR
The sun goes down suddenly and Matthew reaches in his car to
take out a flashlight. He turns it on and shines it in the
woods.
He then takes out his gun which was clipped to his belt. He
points it in the air and starts walking slowly into the
woods.
EXT. WOODS
He slowly walks in the woods flashing his flashlight all
around. Nothing is seen and in fact nothing is heard. There
is no sound at all. No animals or anything.
Matthews hand is shaking causing the light to move all
around.
He then stops and shines the light around. He then looks at
the ground. Footsteps are seen. He gets on his knees and
looks at the footsteps.
He touches the wet dirt. He then moves it around in his
fingers. He then looks in the sky and gets back up. He wipes
the dirt on his pants and continues to walk.
His flashlight is shined on the ground and he is following
the footsteps.
After about a mile of walking Matthews comes across a
cornfield. He shines his light down the cornfield and a cabin
is seen. At the very end of the cornfield sits a small cabin.
Smoke seems to be coming out of it.
