Scene V //Rose is continually haunted by Evangeline for a month in a half. Slowly, ever so slowly, she slips into madness. Telling no one of her evil deed she becomes paranoid.// [The scene opens with Rose home alone listening to the radio.] News Reporter: "....and there were no survivors. We have some breaking news. The body of 17 year old Evangeline Young was found today near a hiking trail. The teenage girl has been missing for a little over a month. Two of her friends; Carla Johnson and Holly Williams, were the ones who found the body. The two girls had this to say:" Carla: "We were just walking along on the trail talking about what we were going to do during my visit here when we saw a white sheet. I don't know why we had to look at it, but we did, and what we saw...." [Carla starts crying] Holly: "Rose looked so terrible. It was terrifying seeing her like that. I just want that image to go away. We all loved her. Hopefully she's at peace now." News Reporter: "We all hope that she is. The police are currently investigating her death. An autopsy revealed that the cause of death was blunt force trauma to the back of the head. They have found fingerprints on her body but have not been able to find any suspects. This is Hank Sanford for Eyewitness News." Rose: "Oh my god! They've found my prints! I'm gonna be caught. Oh god, please have mercy on me!" [Rose runs into the kitchen and grabs a sharp object. The light turns off to transition to next part of the scene. Two agents are standing next to Rose's front door.] Agent Stevens [knocking on door]: "Agent Stevens and Agent Tyler FBI. We're here to ask you a few questions about Evangeline Young." [The agents wait a few seconds for an answer but no answer comes.] Agent Tyler: "Please Miss Sarandon we just need to ask a few questions." [The agents wait another few seconds. Stevens tries the door knob and the door opens. They walk in to find Rose's dead body with a note in her hand.] Stevens: "Oh my god. Its a suicide note. It reads: 'I killed my friend. She was one of the most important people in my life and I killed her over jealousy. I hope everyone will forgive me. I have taken my life as punishment and repayment for everyone else's loss. Goodbye everybody. ' " Tyler: "What a mess. Poor girls. Well, call in an ambulance. We need to transport the body." [Scene ends and the narrator steps forward.] //A lesson must be learned from all of this. Hate and jealousy lead to unhappy endings. Evangeline was killed out of jealousy. Rose died of remorse. Two lives. One fate.//
