PARKING LOT – DAY]
Roy and Max walk toward their car, tension heavy in the air.
Roy:
But with just a name… we won't be able to find her.
Max:
We can. If she really died, we can search for a girl with that name and age — through her death certificate.
Roy:
You're counting on her death record?
Max (nods):
Yeah.
They get into the car. Max grabs his phone and contacts their investigation team.
Max (on phone):
I need a full death record for a girl named Libby Holland. Estimated age at death: 24.
Cause of death: accident.
Get me everything you can.
Roy:
This won't be easy.
Max:
No… might take a day. He said he only had her name.
Roy (staring ahead):
Let's see.
(beat)
Feels like we're getting close.
Max (nods):
Yeah.

🕯️ [CUT TO: INT. JAIL CELL – NIGHT]
Nick sits alone in his cell, back against the wall. A dim bulb flickers above. He stares at an old, wrinkled family photo in his hands.
Nick (softly, with a twisted smile):
Now it's your turn, Riya.
Be ready.
He's coming for you… for my revenge.
He runs a thumb across the photo — his mother, sister, and young Ronald.
FLASHBACK – Two Days Earlier | Jail Visitor Room
A fit, sharp-looking man walks into the prison visitation area. It's Ronald, calm but intense. Nick looks surprised as he picks up the receiver.
Nick:
So… you want me to lie?
Ronald:
Yes. They'll come to you for questioning in two days. You know what to say.
Nick (frowns):
I didn't even know you had a girlfriend.
Ronald (coldly):
Just do as I say.
And as a gift... I promise the next one will be Riya.
Nick (shocked):
Riya?
Ronald:
I can't let her walk free after putting a fake robbery allegation on you… just because you didn't break up with her when she asked.
Nick:
Still… can't you spare her?
Ronald (leans in, voice low and sharp):
How can you still love a girl who was with you only for your money?
The moment she found someone richer — she left you.
Nick (quiet):
Even then... don't kill her.
Ronald (cold smirk):
From your side? Fine. I won't kill her.
But I won't leave her in one piece either.
Nick (pleading):
Please, Ronald. Spare her.
Ronald (pulls back, already standing):
Just do what I said.
Ronald walks out without another word. Nick sits frozen, fists clenched.
