The Murder That Woke Everyone Up (Part 1)

## Summary

What starts as a YouTube video going viral, soon leads to problems for the townspeople of Jackson, Mississippi, when the video is *now* online. Mae Mobley Leefolt is dropped off at her house and tries to survive the night after catching a glimpse of her ex-maid/caretaker's severed head in the hot tub as a prelude to her own bloody demise.

## Synopsis

The killing spree all started when a video of two adults, Elizabeth and Raleigh Leefolt are making out in a car. The video begins to go viral as Elizabeth watches in shame from her computer.

At another house, a car pulls up with two people inside, the Leefolts' now 13-year-old daughter, Mae Mobley and their African American ex-caretaker/maid Aibileen Clark. Mae Mobley reveals that it was her who published the clip, with Aibileen's help. She makes an advance towards her but she assures Aibiledn that she only needed her tech savvy. Mae Mobley goes inside and changes into her bathing suit. She receives a snapchat of herself changing into the bathing suit from behind. She reacts nervously until she receives a text from Aibileen's phone asking her how it feels to be the star of the show. At this point, she realizes that her webcam was turned on and recoding her. She turns it off only to receive another text from Aibileen's phone, asking if she is on thin ice. She yells at Aibileen, who is still no where to be seen, threatening Aibileen with her dog. Aibileen still doesn't come out and she goes outside for brief moment, only to receive another snapchat of her walking outside. She receives another message, telling her that maybe she will get more views than her mom's video. Mae Mobley says maybe it will and tells Aibileen to get a clue. She gets into the hot tub and receives more messages from Aibileen's phone that seem like she is about to join her. The final text says **"Heads up."** and Aibileen's severed head is thrown into the water. Mae Mobley screams and jumps out of the hot tub and runs away. While hiding behind the nearest tree, she tries to dial 911 but uses *Siri*, due to her wet fingers. *Siri* messes up her request by accidentally calling Pottery Barn. While attempting to get back into her house, all the doors are locked. A figure is seen in the reflection of the third door and slashes Mae Mobley in the back with a hunting knife. A horrified Mae Mobley attempts to flee but trips and falls and begins to crawl away. The killer grabs her from behind and lifts her up. Mae Mobley begs for her life but has her throat slit and her dead body is tossed into the pool. After killing her, the killer finds a volleyball and places it where the dummy's severed head is placed. The killer flees the scene.

Mae Mobley's corpse is discovered by her mother in the morning and she screams in horror. Later that morning, a neighbor peeked over the Leefolts' fence and tweeted that Mae Mobley's throat has been sliced ear to ear.

Later that day, cops and Forensic Techs work the scene. The town’s medical examiner looks over Mae Mobley’s body, now lying poolside. “What do we got, coroner?” the sheriff asks. “She died of blood loss from multiple stab wounds. Body temp and rigor indicate it was between 10 pm and 2 am Monday night. Her back was slashed and throat slit.” the coroner responds. Near the hot tub, a CSI tech notices that the water is still bubbling. The cover is now half-closed. The Tech notices a round object wedged in the water. The curious Tech leans closer into the hot tub and reaches for the mysterious object. Just as the Tech’s fingers grabs the object. It reveals to be a volleyball ("Aibileen's" severed head was removed last night by the real Aibileen).

At the middle school, the students learn that Raleigh is missing and is suspected in Mae Mobley's murder. In an effort to renew their former classmate's honor, a girl invites her friends to the party she is throwing as a memorial for Mae Mobley.

At the girl's party, everyone is drinking alcohol and partying. The girl is now the new queen bee since Mae Mobley is dead. The girl's friend's boyfriend admits that he and Mae Mobley slept together, but that was a one night stand.

At the end of Part 1, Aibileen is revealed to have secret video of Mae Mobley dancing on her computer.
