Final Girl

---

Hello.

Hello.

My name is William.

Did they tell you what happened?

My Mom and Daddy died.

That's right.

Does that bother you?

People die all the time.

That's a good way to look at it.

Do you know what that is?

Can you do it?

Wonderful.

Veronica.

Can you remember the

first house you ever lived in?

Close your eyes.

I want you to take me there.

Can you picture the

outside of the house?

Picture going to the front door.

How many steps is it from

there to your bedroom?

Stay there for me.

How many steps is it from

your bed to your bathroom?

Okay.

Keep your eyes closed.

Are you standing in your

bathroom right now?

What do you see?

Toothbrush.

- What color is it?

- Green.

- Anything else?

- Toothpaste with baking soda peroxide whitening.

And?

A mirror, a hairbrush, floss, a

blue towel and a yellow bath mat.

That's enough.

You can open your eyes now.

How did I do?

Well, you were perfect.

Veronica, would you

like to come with me?

Where?

To a place where I would teach you things.

You like learning things, don't you?

What kind of things?

I would be training you

for a very important job.

What kind of job?

That kind most people can't handle.

You have to be

very special to do it.

How did you get your job?

- Well, I volunteered.

- Why?

Because a very bad man

killed my wife

and my daughter.

Can I have ice cream?

You can have

all you can eat.

12 Years Later

Keep standing there.

You need to know what it's like

to not be able to feel your feet.

You will be chasing these boys

through the woods

in the middle of the night

with no shoes on.

Cold and wet.

You must avoid the water.

If you get into

a fight in the water,

doesn't matter how tough you are.

Why can't I just shoot them?

You want to shoot them?

Yeah.

It seems easier.

Yeah, okay.

Shoot me.

I'm not going to shoot you.

Come on, shoot me.

Are you scared?

I don't want to kill you.

Then wound me.

That's an order.

You see, the problem with guns are

you run out of bullets.

- Whoa!

- What are you gonna do?

I got all this.

What do you got ?

You know what a gun

is without bullets?

It's just a paper weight.

Come on.

No, I'm good.

It's 8 miles back to the car.

If you run,

you might it back before dark.

- Who's that girl?

- Ah. It's the new waitress.

Her name is Gwen.

She's not bad.

And a blonde.

What's his obsession with blondes?

It's just his type.

What'd I missed?

As human beings,

we are free.

Free to love, to hate,

to fight.

To kill.

This freedom is found in

every living person on this planet.

There is no one person

more powerful than the other.

Only the one with the

most will is the strongest.

Height, weight, physical appearance.

None of these things matter.

The only thing that matters

is your mind.

The question then becomes.

Are you the type of person who

can summon their power at will?

This is a ranger choke hold.

You will lose consciousness in 20 seconds.

Defend yourself.

Defend yourself!

What did you do wrong?

Didn't-Didn't defended myself.

No. Once that happens,

it's too late to defend yourself.

Stand up.

Move.

Now.

Choke me.

- How hard?

- As hard as you can.

Once you get a hold of me,

do not let go, not for a second,

until you feel the life

leave my body.

Go.

Harder.

William?

William?

Hey hey hey.

William!

Oh.

Thank god.

That was perfect.

These boys know how to fight.

And they know how to kill.

They will be bigger than you.

They will outnumber you.

They will be armed.

They will know the terrain

and you will not.

You must to smarter than them.

And faster.

And when the moment comes,

you must not hesitate.

I want you to look them

in the eyes, Veronica.

Make your face

the last thing they see.

16 and a half.

Yeah!

Are you ready?

For what?

The time of your life.

Let's go.

So, who is it going to be?

Brown sweater at the

corner of the bar.

Hello.

- How are you doing?

- I'm well, are you?

I'm alright. Could you show me

where the restroom is?

- You like it rough?

- You have no idea.

- Not bad.

- Not bad?

You need to get some

control over yourself.

- What did I end up on the...

- On the floor?

You followed my girlfriend here

into the bathroom.

You tried to kiss her

and she fought you off.

And you fell.

Sorry.

Nooo!

My head hurts.

Can I take an aspirin or something?

No.

Can I lay down next to you?

You have your own bed.

I know but I'm cold.

There.

- Is that better?

- Much.

We can't do this.

- But, you're my trainer.

- That's right.

So train me.

Don't you find me attractive?

Who wouldn't?

So?

No.

Fine.

What's that?

It's my own little chaos cocktail.

It's 1 part sodium pentothal.

Truth serum.

What else?

1 part DMT.

Dimethyltryptamine.

Very good.

Isn't that the sh*t that makes

LSD look like kool-aid?

What will this do to me?

You will come face to face

with your greatest deepest fears.

- I'm not afraid of anything.

- Oh really?

That would make you...

not human.

And um.

- I think you're ...

- Okay. Okay. Okay.

- Oh yeah.

- Okay. Okay.

Well look.

You are human.

- How long does it last?

- This dose, about an hour.

But it will feel more

like a day to you.

In about half hour, you are going to

start to feel superhuman.

Is this for my protection

or yours?

My.

You will see the truth.

William?

Ever since I met you

I knew this day would come.

What are you talking about?

You failed, Veronica.

What?

You will not make it.

All these years, all the money,

resources spent

wasted.

What can I do?

Nothing.

It's too late.

- No. Please William, don't do this.

- I have no choice.

Just let me go!

I wish I could.

Good bye, Veronica.

But I love you.

Where did you go?

A man was attacking me.

You shot him and then ...

I was here

on the table.

Then I woke up.

I failed the program.

- Then...

- Then what?

And then you killed me.

Would you really?

If you had to?

You know the answer.

Don't make me say it.

I gave this to you for 2 reasons.

What are they?

To know how scared

I am of you?

No.

You have to remain sharp and focused

at all times under any condition.

You have to know

how to fight

when you are tired, cold,

hot, sleep deprived

and hallucinating.

You are now ready

for the final test, Veronica.

I wanted you to know how it would feel if your

opponent has had this cocktail and you hadn't.

When am I ever going to be

facing someone who is on this sh*t?

How many?

How many what?

How many girls have they killed?

Maybe a dozen.

And another local girl, Gwen Thomas,

went missing a few days ago.

One of them has a girlfriend.

Why does that surprise you?

They just don't seem to like women.

They don't like anybody, really.

They're incapable of empathy.

But they can fake it.

A girlfriend is a perfect cover.

I think she smelled it on them?

- Love is also base on deception.

- Yeah.

Tells her he loves her and buys

her lunch every once in a while.

It's different with her.

The other girls are just trophies.
