Dark Minds (2025)

[bunniefuu]

Where are you?

I thought you said we were done.

I thought you would have given

up when you saw who it was.

But then I found out you're

leaving college. Where are you?

My parents house. And David.

What have you done?

That's what needs to be done. Okay.

Why don't you just stay at your

f*cking parent's house?

This is my mom.

I saw her come, and I saw her.

I just want to believe I saw her

hurting, and I saw.

I mean, it was the least I could

do for what you were saying.

You're actually. Insane. What?

Are you doing to your back?

Um, I'm not really sure,

to be honest.

Um, I've just been having more

dreams. Um. Strange dreams.

I had one last night.

Don't just tell me about it.

Okay, so the first one.

It started with me in the house.

It was when the man broke in.

Show yourself.

Oh, God.

I was just.

I was standing there in the hallway.

I was just watching.

I couldn't move my legs.

They wouldn't move. I wanted to go.

I wanted to do something,

I wanted to.

David in the summer is as usual.

Hey, buddy. How are you doing?

It's good. Yeah. Yeah. Good, good.

Now, a glorious morning. Yeah.

I believe that turning all this

into houses, though.

Anyway, it was the first day of

your last year at college.

I know, beginning at the end. Indeed.

Anyway, if you do as good as what

you did last year, you'll get that

distinction, I think. Yeah. Yeah.

You'll be all right. I don't get it.

Anyway, you better get yourself

ready. Your busy day ahead.

You're right. I'll see you later.

Okay. Take care. Bye.

Oh. Hey. Hey. Yeah.

Haven't seen you in a while.

Huh? What do you mean?

He switched to the last movie?

Yeah, true, I guess. How you been?

I've been good. I've been great.

Good. Yeah, I've been good.

Thanks. Yeah. Um.

Hey, some of us are going to the

park later. Tonight? Yeah? Yeah.

No. Yeah, that sounds good.

Yeah, I'll be there. Yes.

There's always boys.

Yeah, I just I can't believe

it's our last. Yeah.

You do know that your last year

starts tomorrow, right? What?

What's your name?

Oh, it's an inset day today.

Meaning no college. Oh. Right.

That's why no one's here.

That makes sense.

So you just go home. Oh, really?

For me?

Yeah, yeah, I think we do that.

Thank you. I'll see you soon.

Yeah. See you tomorrow. Yes.

All right. Yes, sir. I'm Nora.

I'm here outside the Harper's

family house.

We're on Sunday night, 12:03 a.m..

An unidentified man broke into Carol

and Paul Harper's house and k*lled

them both with a kitchen knife.

None of the evidence that's been

left has given anyone any ideas

or clues as to how this was done,

but the local authorities have

said they are working really hard,

are working really hard to help

us find out who done this

atrocious and horrible attack.

Uh, as we're talking here. Huh?

Is it jolly?

Can you tell us something?

Just sit down, please. Sure. Yeah.

What's up? It's about your parents.

Yeah. Anything happened?

The police came around earlier.

They were.

There was an incident last night.

A man broke in. Your dad tried.

Your dad tried to fight him off.

But they. They. They didn't.

They didn't make it.

Show yourself.

Oh, God.

I.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha!

Where'd you get the bracelet from?

Let me call the college.

I told you, I won't be in today.

All right. No. I'm going in today.

Are you? Yeah.

I.

Is that his parents?

Yeah, I think so.

Do you have something to say?

Just say it. On.

I'm sorry about the messages

last night, I didn't know.

I just I just hope they find the

f*ck. All right. Well.

I don't blame you. Here we go.

Didn't. I. Can we talk? We are.

Why are they going on? Yeah, fine.

You know, you didn't need to come in,

right? Yeah. Well, then why did you.

It's a choice I made using my own

free will. Okay, I respect that.

But for the sake of your mental

health, I think it's probably

best to take some time off.

Usually teachers want you in college,

not out.

Listen,

you're one of our best students.

It's not like you're going to fall

behind in what you're going through

right now is. It's horrible. Shawn.

Look, I just. I don't want to.

Is everything okay at home?

Home with. With David? No.

Look, you're a good teacher and all,

but I'm really gonna need you to

stop digging into my life.

So are you going to continue to

come in? Yeah.

Well, then you're gonna have to speak

to her. She's going to help you.

What's this? What do you mean.

You don't care?

You don't care about me.

Oh you don't.

You never cared about me until

you weren't worried about me.

You just want me to become a

danger to the f*cking class,

okay? That's not what I mean.

Hey, how you doing? All right.

All right. All right.

You should be close.

I just want to see you.

All right? Yeah. Yeah. I'm fine.

Okay. Yeah. Look.

I know you're trying to help, but.

I just want to be left alone right

now. It's a long way down, isn't it?

Yeah. Why? I'm gonna.

I mean, you seem a bit. Kind of.

Sort of unstable. And why?

Don't you get that price up front?

This is my mom's only fight for

Mother's Day. Um. Mm.

Um, look, I appreciate that.

I'm just gonna. I'm gonna go home.

Thanks for. Coming. Yeah, that's.

What I said. For you. So this.

Yeah.

Well.

It's.

Are you. Done? You're done.

Can I come in? Mhm.

I.

Can't imagine what you're going

through at the moment. Are you done?

I just want you to know that I'm

always going to be here for you.

I have to k*ll that. What then?

Sometimes bad things happen to.

My mom's a good person. She was.

She was she was, she was,

she was, she was. I had a dream.

I had a dream.

I was, I was home, I saw the k*ller.

I know that he broke in.

Was just a dream. No, no. No.

No no. Because I was there.

And I was in the house and I was

watching.

I saw the break in and I,

I was standing there and I was

watching him and I went to the,

I went to the kitchen to, uh,

to get a knife.

And when I came back, he was,

he was on top of my dad and I.

I could have, um. I didn't do.

Anything. I didn't do anything.

No. Sir. No, I didn't.

I thought, oh, my daddy died.

Then I said.

Oh.

Hello?

Mom. Mom.

Pull. Pull! Woo! Woo! Woo!

Please. What do you want?

Please leave us alone. Please!

No! No!

No! Please! No. No!

Come in.

Sean. This is Aiden.

He's one of my students.

I think this is Helen.

She's going to be your therapist.

Pleased to meet you, Aidan.

Um, so I thought it'd be best if

he spoke to someone about him.

Of course. Aiden. Take a seat.

Aiden. Mm. Take a seat. Oh.

That's great.

I'll take it from here. Thank you.

So, Aiden.

Tell me a little bit about yourself.

Yeah. What do you want to know?

What brought you here today? Um.

I think you know why I'm here. Helen.

Okay, well, I just want to hear

your side of the story.

I go into a disagreement. Okay.

What kind of disagreement?

Um, well,

I was talking to my friend Cameron.

I said that I think my parents

k*ller should die for what he did.

I didn't seem to like that very much.

Right. How did that make you feel?

Betrayed. I felt betrayed.

I'm sorry to bring this up, Aiden,

but I do need to know exactly

why Sean brought you here today.

Hey, then I can tell Nice. Not great.

No worries. I don't blame you.

You, of all people, have a right to

feel like that. I'm nice. Thanks.

What was it that you wanted to

talk about? I don't know.

I've been having these dreams.

Okay, love. What happened? Yeah.

That's obviously understandable,

though.

And what you're going through is

traumatic.

Look, Cameron, these aren't just

dreams, okay? They're.

I don't know, they're too real,

you know? It's like.

It's like I'm there and I can't

talk to anyone. No one can see me.

No one can hear me.

I'm just stuck there watching it

happen.

And then I can't do anything

about it.

It's like, I don't know, a f*cking

ghost or something, I don't know.

I mean, I understand that having

to watch that must be horrible.

But they are just dreams.

Bad dreams. But dreams. Still.

You would have done not.

I mean, what if they have something

in them? Something I can use them.

I understand you're angry and you're

looking for reason, but what you're

saying is completely ludicrous.

You're not here yourself.

But look. What if.

What if they have some sort of

information?

Will they have some sort of

information?

I'm saying we could use us.

Well, yeah. You're gonna.

You're gonna help me, right?

I don't I don't want any part in

this.

Seriously, I have everything I

f*cking done for you.

That was f*cking stupid sh*t.

What you're asking me to do is

help you with m*rder.

He butchered my f*cking parents.

And you don't want anything to do

with it. All right. Find them.

If you find the k*ller.

What are you gonna do? Huh?

What are you gonna do?

Yeah. That's right.

Just walk away then, huh?

I hope you can. Imagine my parents.

Why doesn't love for your

parents come from.

You always said how much you hated

them. I just. Want to say one more.

f*cking. Word. Wait a moment.

Grow up. Do you want to get.

Yourself k*lled over this?

You know what? You know what?

They f*cking do it for me.

Nothing was done. They hated you.

That's why you were adopted.

Why did. You just say. To. Me? Huh?

Who the f*ck did it f*cking get?

Come on. f*cking say it!

f*ck it! Said it. Say it.

Say it! f*cking b*tch!

How are you doing?

You okay? Yeah.

I know what the f*ck, man.

You could have k*lled him.

What's going on? Talk to. Me.

You can get yourself k*lled.

If you want me to call you.

No, I've had enough.

Now you come with me.

So, Aidan, tell me a little bit about

yourself. What do you want to know?

What brought you here today? Um.

I think you know why I'm here, Helen.

Okay, well, I just want to hear

your side of the story.

I go into a disagreement. Okay?

What kind of disagreement?

Um, well,

I was talking to my friend Cameron.

I said that I think my parents

k*ller should die for what he did.

I didn't seem to like that very much.

Right? How did that make you feel?

Betrayed. I felt betrayed. Um.

What are you, uh.

What are you writing?

I'm just making notes about

conversation. Don't worry.

It's nothing that will go outside

this room. Yeah, yeah. It's fine.

I'm sorry to bring this up, Aiden,

but I do need to know exactly

why Sean brought you here today.

I mean, when.

I mean, Cameron was arguing here.

He said that my my parents hated me.

Well, how did that make you feel?

What did you just say to me?

Huh? Anger. I felt anger.

I know why I felt anger was

because the truth. He.

And he knew it was the truth.

I mean, he knew I'd spent years

coming to terms with that fact, and

he just used it against me anyway.

How did you respond? Who the f*ck?

Say it. Say f*cking that.

Appropriately. Did you hurt him?

You regret it, don't you? No.

No, I don't have regrets.

Lying to yourself is only going

to make things worse.

I don't lie either.

I just might need him for something.

What would you need him for?

He can do things I can't. Like what?

I don't know,

things I might need in the future.

What might you need in the future?

Avoiding questions isn't going to

help you. You can't help me, Helen.

How do you know if you don't try?

I know you want to help,

but I really don't want to be here.

I'm just wasting our time. And.

I'm wasting my time.

If you really feel like this

isn't working, you can go.

But please know you can always

come back. Great.

Thank you for everything.

That you didn't.

Don't go getting into any more

fights. Oh, well.

Just one more thing.

Please fix things with you and

Cameron. Why would you say that?

Why would you say that?

I was just starting to like you.

And you know what he said to me?

What you said was horrible,

and he shouldn't have done that.

But the way you acted was also wrong.

You've got to remember that you

need your friends at the moment.

You need to stick together.

The two of you. I'm sorry. Yeah.

Yeah. I'll think about it. Take care.

Aiden,

you know where I am if you need me.

Yeah.

Cameron. I'm.

I'm sorry about earlier. I know.

I'm sorry about what I said earlier.

I didn't mean I'm. I'm sorry.

I know. I forgive me.

Yes.

Why did you do that to yourself?

What is coming.

You know I have to take this.

I'll talk you out of this car.

I can't even get away with this.

I know. That you can help me.

I don't think I could bring

myself to help you with this.

Sarah. Either way.

But if you need me for anything.

Finally the presence.

Of Jesus Christ.

Is that it? You've done it now, boy.

I believe that your mother or

Mother's Day should.

Oh.

You're back.

Um, I'm not really sure,

to be honest.

Um, I've just been having more

dreams. Um. Strange dreams.

I had one last night.

Don't tell me about it. Ah.

I couldn't, I couldn't,

but then at the same time.

At the same time,

I didn't really want to.

I know that sounds bad,

but I didn't. I don't want to.

I don't want to help.

I felt like he deserved it.

Like I said to you, Aiden, this is a

completely normal trauma response.

The thing is, because of how

a*usive your parents were,

how your father was a part of you

wanted him probably dead because of

what you've been through as a child.

That's a fair assumption, I like it.

I mean, I kind of already came to

that point myself, for sure. Yeah.

Okay. It makes sense. Um. Yeah.

Thank you. You've been so helpful.

That's not funny, Aiden.

No, no, but it is. It really is.

After everything that happened

with them, after everything.

All the abuse. All of it.

I still want to find the man that

k*lled them. You want to hurt him?

See, that's the problem with you

therapists.

You said you don't actually care

about us. No. You get paid.

You get your job.

Your job is to talk to us.

You know, you go home at the end of

the day and you leave it all behind.

Everything's fine.

You don't have to live with it.

That's all you care about.

But you don't really care about us.

You don't care about me.

That's not true. How you doing?

You good? You know what I think?

I think the only real reason you

people exist is to stop people like

me from becoming a danger to society.

I'm not sure I understand what

you're saying. That's the problem.

Everyone doesn't see that.

The real people to be afraid of

the real dangerous ones.

Not the ones that don't talk at all.

I do not need you to sit back in

your chair. Sorry, I know that.

I don't mean to scare you.

I'm fine. As I said, I'm fine.

Yes. This is about you, not me.

You sure? Are you really sure?

You seem a bit. A bit tense, then.

This seems about you, right,

Jen? Oh, this is great.

And I'm going to be going now.

Are you going already?

Oh, I want to. Yeah.

What about Cameron? What about. Him?

Did you guys both apologise to

one another? As far as I'm aware.

Yeah. Okay. Okay, fine. Fine.

Fine. Thank you. Take care. Aiden.

You know where I am if you need me.

I think it's because of how a*usive.

Your. Parents were, how your.

Father was.

A part of you wanted him

probably dead.

Oh.

Love. You, Hayden. Okay. So.

Let's start.

With the. Short.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Oh!

Oh my God.

I got the f*cking phone.

How are you doing?

It's two in the morning.

What do you want? It's fun. Um.

Uh, but this number plate,

you just find who owns the car.

No, no, I'm not doing this.

I'm going to sleep.

But you said call you for anything.

Oh, y. Yeah, fine.

Maybe the student lounge at lunch,

right? Yeah.

I need. To. Ask.

What do you intend on doing when

you find it? I mean, like, really?

What are you gonna do?

I can't think about the pain anymore.

I don't know what I'm gonna do

with them.

I don't know if I find him,

if I find this mouse. I don't.

Want. It. I really, I.

If I find. If I find this man.

I just wanted to feel the same pain

that he put my parents through.

I just wanted to.

I wanted to hurt. I really do.

I wanted to hurt, to hope.

I don't know, I was about to say.

I know it's really bad to say,

but I'll f*cking k*ll everyone

to f*cking k*ll them.

All right. All right.

I'm going to be honest.

I don't approve anything that

you just said right now, but,

um, I couldn't imagine what it'd

be like to be in your situation.

So I am willing to help you out

if needs be. Thanks. Thanks.

Thank you. I appreciate that a lot.

How are you doing?

How you doing? Yeah. Yeah.

Well, just wondered if we could

have a talk in my office. Sure.

Yeah. Why not?

Please take a seat. Even.

You know what?

I think I'm fine standing.

That's fine. We'll stand.

And why is the woman here again,

Helen?

You know, just before I came to

see you, I was told that you

were trying to find someone. No.

No, I mean, why. Who told you that?

You know, I can't disclose that

information. Aiden. Was it Cameron?

If it was Cameron, I swear to.

God it wasn't Cameron.

And even if it was, you know,

I can't tell you that. Yeah.

Let's cut the sh*t. Helen.

It was obviously Cameron.

I mean,

he's the only other person apart

from you that's going to think that.

And so, to answer your question

again, no, I'm not finding anyone.

I told. Her. I spoke to her earlier.

I told her about my dream, about

the number plate, about the car.

I asked if he could find the car.

Find the owner.

Obviously, I had no intention to

follow that information. Okay.

This is good without staff.

I mean, like I told you before,

he can do things I can't.

I know you have said,

but I am pleased.

You need to leave this to the police.

Have you not seen the news lately?

They've given up.

They've stopped searching.

They don't care.

They don't give a sh*t. Are you done?

This was a double m*rder.

They're not going to just give up.

Then why have they stopped looking?

Aiden, let me speak to them.

Let me see if I can get some

information.

What makes you think they're

going to talk to you?

They haven't even spoken to me.

Please, just let me try. And.

Call them. Okay?

If they tell you anything.

I'm fine now.

If they don't,

then leave me alone. Okay? Aiden.

Up to county. Police.

How do you get your call? Oh.

Hi there.

I wonder if you can help me.

I'm inquiring about a case.

Progress. Thank you. Hello.

You're through to case inquiries.

Do you have a case number?

Oh, no, I do have the case number.

I'll give it to you.

Um, it's 202400134. Brilliant.

Let me check this for you.

Lovely. Thank you.

So the records stay that they

could only retrieve partial DNA

prints from the dead skin cells

that fell through the gloves,

which were found on the knife.

This means we can't do anything

with the information,

but it is in our file.

So if another crime occurs and

the prints match.

We will immediately act upon it.

Okay. That's lovely. Thank you.

I'm glad I could help.

Have a good day. You too. Bye.

Aiden. What do you want? Sit down.

What are you saying to Helen?

I didn't want you getting yourself.

That doesn't matter. Okay.

If you're on my side, say that you're

on my side. Don't f*cking lie.

Doesn't matter anymore. All right.

I looked into it. I'm fine. Sit down.

Okay, look, this document has all

the info you're looking for on it.

However, I think it's better if

you don't have it.

Nothing good will come from looking

through this document. And why?

Because I want you to make a good

decision for once in your life.

I want you to end this.

This loss for revenge.

Look, you've got a decision to make.

You take this document.

You never see me again, and you

never speak to me again. We're over.

But if you leave the document,

we could just leave this in the past.

I can help. You. Don't do. This.

I promise you, nothing good will

come from this document.

Just let me help you.

Give me the. Biden.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

Oh, f*ck.

Where are. You?

I thought you said we were done.

I thought you would have given

up when you saw who it was.

But then I found out you're

leaving college. Where are you?

My parents house. And David.

And.

I'm sorry.

I could have done something.

I could have helped you. It's okay.

It's okay. Stop. Don't trust. Me.

Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom!

Mom. Just keep wanting. Me, okay?

Okay? Okay. Just just. I just.

Please. Mom. Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom!

Mom. It's okay. I'm fine.

It's okay. It's okay. Mom. Mom!

Forgive me. Oh!

Waco. Waco.

How are you doing?

How?

Are you doing? Where are you?

David? How are you doing? Why?

Why did you k*ll David?

What do you mean? Just sit here.

Just sit here. You stop me!

You f*cking back! Calm down.

Calm down! What are you doing?

Why are you still here? What?

Are you doing?

In here! Oh, come! Get off me!

Calm down. f*ck! Calm down!

Calm down! Jesus! Calm down!

Your eyes.

Are.

How are you doing?

Are you doing? What are. You doing?

You k*lled. The kid who was.

Driving. Your car. Driving your car?

I don't know what you're going

on about it. I don't know.

He's told you these lies.

I've got nothing to do with it.

I wouldn't do that. I promise you.

You must believe. Me. I. It's. Man.

I'm down. Calm down, calm down!

I am calm down, calm down! Are you?

So how have you been feeling now?

I've been okay. Thank you.

How about you? I'm fine, thank you.

I'm sorry. I really do need to.

I'm really. Sorry. Hello, Helen.

We've just received information

that the boy whose parents you

were asking about, Aiden Harper.

He's m*rder*d his foster father.

What if he's. Done?

What needs to be done? Okay.

Why don't you stay at your.

f*cking. Parents house?

How's my mum? I saw. Her. Come and.

I saw her. I saw her bleeding.

I saw her hurting, and I saw that.

Now is the least I could do for her.

You're insane.

You're actually insane. f*cking God!

Oh, you always were my best friend,

weren't you?

Guys, come on, come on, come on.

Cameron, can I use the shower,

please? Yes. Fine. Thank you. Yeah.

What?

Are you doing? it. Yeah.

I'm one once you're ready.

Can we go to your parents house,

please? Why? Um.

You see, when I went there looking

for you, I went into your parents,

and, um, I found something.

What did you find? Um.

You're you're not going to believe

me if I told you so. Just show me.

Yeah. Yeah, that's. That's the plan.

Any clues?

That's what we should have.

We're probably going to have to go

around the back of your parents

house when we get there. The police.

Are probably. All over there.

Yeah, it's a good idea, actually.

It shoots on this guy. Cool.

Oh, wait. I've got something. So I.

Couldn't go grab. It. Just look.

Come on. Don't you forget that night.

I just forgot my phone so I can.

But I left it on charge when I

got in. Mm. Good.

So there you see.

This.

Hello. Are you done? Why am my house.

Making sure you do the right thing.

Which is? Turning yourself in.

For. What are you doing? No.

There's something I need to tell you.

And I don't care.

I don't know, I wouldn't.

The whole house is surrounded by

police.

The only way out of this is to

talk to me Calmly. Calmly.

Calmly. Why you. Why you.

Why you? Why are you here?

I was coming to bring you here.

If he was to find you. You were.

Supposed. To be helping. Me.

I still am.

How is any of this helping?

How is any of this f*cking helping?

At the third appointment.

You asked me to contact the police,

which I did.

I told me there was no evidence found

on the knife. So they stopped the.

They stopped the search.

What was that?

What's that got to do with anything?

It means that once you k*lled David.

They found the prints at the scene,

and they matched the knife used

to k*ll your parents.

What are you saying, Helen?

I'm saying from this evidence,

we now know that you stole your

foster father's car. Call.

You drive it to your parents

house and you broke in.

You took a knife from the kitchen,

and you.

You slit your father's throat.

You then proceeded up the stairs and

stabbed your mother in the stomach.

All this was for revenge for how

they treated you as a child.

But once you got your revenge,

your mind tried to hide in it from

you. And it nearly succeeded.

But your continuous anger led you

to having these dreams aid in

those dreams that you were having.

Just dreams. They weren't dreams.

You told me that they were just

dreams. Memories. No no. No.

I trusted you, Cameron.

Trusted you. Cameron. Sorry.

I'm sorry. Ethan. I had to.

Go.

Are you happy. Now?

Dad, did you really.

Have to k*ll David?

The only person that really

loved you. Mum loved me.

Oh, wait. You can open the door.

We both know that's not true.

Aiden, please open the door.

Why don't you open the door?

All right. Ah.

So you do remember. I'm sorry.

I think you've said enough tears over

us. I'm sorry. Stop being a big baby.

You knew what you were doing.

I didn't open the door.

What's done is done.

If there's one thing I taught you,

it's that if you commit to something,

you commit 100% to it. I don't. Want.

To. You said you would avenge us.

All you've done is k*ll an innocent

man who tried to be a better

father than I was. I do this.

You've k*lled your foster dad.

You've lost all your friends.

No one cares about you.

You're going to be in.

You're going to be in jail for

the rest of your life. No. Yeah.

You did this all to yourself.

So how about you finish what you

started? Come on.

It'll all be over soon. It.

Won't hurt. Right?

Look at me, son. Breathe in.

I'm not talking about any more.

Open up the door. And in.

Breathe out. Are you done? Open up!

Yeah. It'll be over soon. Oh. Are.

Now. And I.

Want to see.

Your. So?

It only.

Ends with me.

Are. You. With me. Well.
