ANOTHER ANGLE:
WE SEE WHAT THEY SEE: the bloody hatchet left

on Brenda's pillow.

ANGLE on BILL and ALICE: (as before). Their faces are serious.

ALICE:

(continuing)

What the f*** is going on here?

CUT TO:

103 EXT. JACK'S CABIN - NIGHT

The rain slants down as BILL and ALICE make their way towards

Jack's cabin. They go to the door. BILL knocks.

BILL:

Jack?

ALICE:

Marcie?

BILL:

Hey, guys!

BILL opens the door to the cabin.

CUT TO:

104 INT. JACK'S CABIN - NIGHT

The door opens at us. We see the silhouetted figures of BILL

and ALICE. BILL flips on the light switch.

The cabin is empty. Jack's backpack lies on the bed, the

contents neatly laid out.

CUT TO:

105 INT. CAMP BATHROOM - NIGHT

It is dark inside. The door slams open at us as BILL and ALICE

make their way inside.

ALICE:

Marcie? Brenda? Jack?

BILL walks slowly towards the row of toilets and showers.

ALICE:

(continuing)

I think we should call the police, Bill.

BILL, who was just about to open one of the toilet stalls, nods

and turns back to ALICE.

BILL:

Okay.

They exit. There is a beat... and then a slickered shape

passes between us and the night sky light which comes through

the windows. The shape is dragging something.

CUT TO:

106 EXT. OFFICE CABIN - NIGHT

ALICE and BILL are on the porch of one of the cabins. To the

left of the door is a small sign that reads: "Office." BILL

tries the door, but cannot open it.

BILL:

Sucker's locked. Who's got the key?

ALICE ignores the question, bends down beside the cabin and

comes up with a short 2x4. She crosses to the door and smashes

through one of the window panes. She puts her arm through the

broken glass, unlocks the door and enters. BILL follows.

The CAMERA continues to watch them from outside the cabin.

They turn on a light and cross to a phone on Steve Christy's

desk. BILL picks up the receiver, listens, clicks the switch

on the desk set several times.

BILL:

(continuing)

It's dead. Try the pay phone.

ALICE:

Do you have a dime? A quarter?

BILL:

No. There must be some in the desk

somewhere.

They fumble through the desk to find some change. BILL finds

some in the postage drawer. He then crosses over to a pay

phone mounted on the wall. The CAMERA moves to the cornice of

the building where the phone line exits. It follows the link

up the side of the cabin to the junction where the power and

phone lines come in from the pole. Here we see a dangling

phone cable which has been recently cut.

OVER, we hear the sound of a quarter dropping in the dead

telephone.

ALICE (V.O.)

Hello? Hello? This damn thing's dead,

too.

CUT TO:

107 EXT. PARKING LOT - NIGHT

BILL and ALICE comes out into the rain, heading for the camper

van. They hop in.

CUT TO:

108 EXT. VAN/PARKING LOT - NIGHT

BILL slides behind the wheel. The keys are in the ignition.

ALICE hops in on the passenger side.

BILL turns over the engine. It grinds away but does not catch.

From an ANGLE behind the outside mirror, we hear the engine

fail to catch. We look in the mirror and see someone standing

in the distance, watching.

BILL gets out of the driver's side. Slams the door. The

CAMERA TRUCKS with him as he opens the door to the engine.

ALICE joins him as he shines his light on the engine.

ALICE:

What's the matter with it?

BILL:

Wet. I don't know.

He tries a few more times.

ALICE:

Why don't we run? Just run now?

BILL:

It's over twenty miles to the

crossroads. Steve'll be back in an

hour. Things will straighten out then.

We'll take his Jeep and get help.

He goes to her and cradles her face in his hands.

BILL:

(continuing)

Don't worry. There is probably some

really stupid explanation for all this.

When the sun comes up tomorrow, you'll

smile.

(pause)

Promise.

ALICE nods.

CUT TO:

109 EXT. CAMP ENTRANCE - NIGHT

In the FG we see a camp sign. In the BG we see a figure

running towards us.

The figure reaches our vantage point and is revealed as STEVE

CHRISTY. Just as he's about to make the turn into the

driveway, he looks up and smiles. He stops and catches his

breath as the other person catches him in the light of a

flashlight.

STEVE:

Hi. What are you doing out in this mess?

He shields his eyes from the light.

CUT TO:

110 EXT. LAKE - NIGHT

From across the lake, the lights from the camp twinkle through

the rain drops.

CUT TO:

111 EXT. GENERATOR SHED - NIGHT

The CAMERA as PROWLER moves to the shed. The noise of the

generator grows louder as the door is opened.

CUT TO:

112 INT. BIG MEETING ROOM - NIGHT

BILL sits on the chair, a rifle across his lap. In the BG,

ALICE sits on the couch, dozing. On the coffee table in front

of her is a large machete.
