MERCY

Caroline calls Mercy and says you need to check this website, you need to check that website, you need to check out this and that website because there is some dirt on you, they are saying you have a sex tape! A sex tape! Pan to Caroline, hover above and her beautiful red lips lined with a dark pencil. It is snowing and Caroline and Mercy's favorite bar has just burned down. She is sad. She has been crying and her mascara has run because it does not matter the mascara her eyes are too watery, she shouldn't wear mascara in the first place. Caroline says in the mirror, yes, into her black sleek phone, yes, a sex tape, Caroline says, yes, a sex tape, that is what they are saying Mercy, do you have a sex tape, do you have one did you ever make one and with who who did you make a sex tape with?

Mercy says I don't know.

Mercy says I don't remember.

Mercy says I remember oh my god Patrick. Patrick. Patrick sold this tape.

The newspapers found out a week before that her father was ill. They have not stopped calling. They have not stopped showing up. There are lawyers now. Mercy says to Caroline, we have so many lawyers now, these people won't stop. Patrick told them that Jessica was sick, she says and now this. This sex tape.

You can retaliate. You know that you can, right, Mercy, Caroline says. You can fight this. I don't know where it is yet, it was released in the night so you know that there are about a thousand copies in the world now you know that right.
