Mr. Monk goes to Silent Hill--Chapter four

by weirdDAR

(Monk and Sharona are now walking down a long strip, where it appears

to be a farmer's land. The two approach a tunnel.)

Sharona:

You're not going in there, are you?

Monk:

Of course I am. Why wouldn't I?

Sharona:

It's dark.

Monk:

I have a flashlight.

(Monk pulls out the flashlight and crawls in the tunnel. Monk is

investigating the area, when the limping shadow creeps up behind him.)

Sharona: (From outside)

Adrian, look out!

(Monk turns around and notices the figure.)

Monk:

Oh my God!

(The shadow figure pushes Monk agaisnt the wall.)

Sharona:

(In more tears)

ADRIAN!

(Monk reaches in his pocket and pulls out a gun.

He points the gun at the figure and shoots it twice.

The figure falls down and dies.

Monk picks up a tiny, handheld radio and walks out of the tunnel.)

Sharona:

(In shock)

You had a gun?

Monk:

Well, yeah.

Sharona:

When did you want to inform me you had a gun?

Monk:

I was going to tell you when the time was right.

Sharona:

And the time was right when you had to shoot some weird, myserious

figure?

Monk:

Of course.

(They walk in the direction they came.)

Sharona:

What's that radio for?

Monk:

I don't know. It's weird. When the figure appeared, the radio made a

really loud noise. Then...when it died, the noise stopped.

Sharona:

That could come in handy if we meet anymore on the way back to the car.

Monk:

What? We're not going back now.

Sharona:

(Stops)

Adrian. You're nuts. You're fucking nuts if you think I'm going to

continue sticking around in this place.

Monk:

You said an hour.

Sharona:

I lied.

(Walks down the road where they came from the graveyard. A huge brick

wall is now built, blocking the exit.)

Sharona:

When did they build this? We were just here.

Monk:

It's impossible.

Sharona:

Damn straight it's impossible.

(Turns to Monk)

Adrian...I want out. I want to go home, climb into bed, and go to sleep.

Monk:

I'd be all for that...but the exit is clearly blocked off.

Sharona:

This wall can't go on forever, we can go around it.

Monk:

That, too, is possible, but if this wall was built within a matter of

minutes, what makes you think there aren't any more...past this one?

(Long silence.)

Sharona:

One hour. Then we'll try to go around.

Monk:

Thank you.

(They walk in the oppisite direction.

After a few minutes of walking, the radio begins to make a loud

noise again.)

Sharona:

Adrian. The radio.

(Monk pulls out his gun, and cocks it.)

Monk:

Try to be quiet.

(In silence, other than the radio, Monk and Sharona are looking around.

Nothing, but fog and a van.)

Monk:

(whispers to Sharona)

I think it's under the van.

Sharona:

Well...?

Monk:

(whispering)

Back away from the van.

(They back up, as far away as possible. Monk aims the gun towards

the gas tank and shoots. The van explodes.)

Sharona:

What are you? Crazy?

Monk:

A little bit.

(An inflammed figure screams as it rises from the fire.)

Sharona:

Shoot it.

(Monk aims the gun at the figure, but stands still.)

Sharona:

Shoot it.

Monk:

Shhh.

(The figure falls over into the flames and dies.)

Sharona:

Why didn't you shoot it when I said shoot it?

Monk:

I don't want to waste any bullets.

Sharona:

Waste any bullets? How many do you have?

Monk: (Thinks, and mumbles to self)

Uh...seven.

Sharona:

Seven? Seven bullets?

Monk:

Yeah, it had ten...but I used three. See, you subtract--

Sharona:

I know subtraction! How could you only bring 10 bullets?

Monk:

It's all I had.

Sharona:

Where'd you get a gun anyway?

MEANWHILE...AT THAT EXACT MOMENT.

(Lt. Disher walks in his office, and sits at his desk.

He sighs and opens the desk drawer.

Silence)

Disher:

Where's my gun?

BACK TO THE CURRENT SCENE.

Monk:

I found it.

Sharona:

Let's just hurry up...I want to go as quickly as possible.

Monk:

Really? Because I was thinking of staying at a hotel...

(Sharona stops)

It's a joke. Remember? Jokes?

Sharona:

Not funny.

Monk:

Since we're on the subject of this town...notice anything odd about it?

(Sharona looks around.)

Sharona:

Plenty of things...which one are you thinking about?

Monk:

No one's around.

Sharona:

It's 10:30 at night. Who would be around? Plus...don't forget those

monsters.

Monk:

Yes, but when I blew up the van...still, no one. You'd think

someone would of woken up...or come outside, just for a minute.

Sharona:

Yeah, that is weird...

(She looks at her watch.)

Adrian...you have fourty-five minutes.

Monk:

Fourty-six.

(She takes another look at her watch.)

Sharona:

Same diffrence.
