Driver: Then turn around.

(Husband and wife turn around and get shocked and scared. The driver has a knife stuck on
his chest and blood is oozing out from that and with that, he is hanging upside down from the
ceiling with a very mysterious smile on his face. Both husband and wife are in a great shock
and are unable to speak anything)

Driver: I told you before, you won't be able to talk to anyone after seeing my face. And I
warned you that this place is not safe. But none of you listened to me.

Husband: (in a very shocked tone) this can't be true.
Wife: (crying)

Husband: Who are you? Why are you doing this to us? Let us go please.

Driver: No. Now you must stay with me in this little house till the morning.

Wife: Till morning. After that you will let us go right?

Driver: (while laughing) Ah, innocent women. You will go to hell directly from here.

Husband: No. Don’t say this. Why are you like this? What happened to you?

Driver: Ok, let me tell you a story. When you both got out of the car. I was just sitting inside,
and I felt like someone was calling my name, so I too came out of the car. That voice became
louder and louder as I entered the jungle. And then I reached here, the door was open, so I
came in and was asking if someone was there or not. As I entered, the gate closed
automatically. I was trying to shout but there was no one around. And then I heard a voice,
and the voice said, “You will not be able to get off here”. I was not able to see anyone in the
room as it was very dark, and I didn’t have my phone with me either. And then a woman
came with a knife inserted in her chest and blood was oozing out from that wound. I too got
scared just like you did. I too pleaded with women to let me go out from here. But then she
told me “The only way you can get out of this house is when you will insert this knife in a
person’s chest. It’s the day when I will get a chance to get out of this house because I am
going to insert this knife in you.” After saying this, she killed me. And now I am going to kill
one of you and then you will kill one of your partners to get free from here. Weird, isn't it?

(Husband and wife are in great shock and are unable to utter a word)

Driver: So tell me, who would like to get killed first? Come on, tell me, I am getting
desperate to go out from here, it’s so suffocating in here.

(The couple not able to say anything)

Driver: Ahh. Ok so you guys are not telling me anything. Ok. No problem. I will decide on
my own.

(Just after saying this, the driver takes out the knife from his chest and inserts it in the
husband’s chest. Husband cries in pain and fall unconscious on the ground)

Wife: (shouts) no.
