STANLEY:

Well the sooner we find Matthew...

ANDY:

Yeah, that's right. The sooner we

find Matthew what?

ANDY:

Ain't it obvious? We drag that homo

back to the sheriff, he's a dead

man.

STANLEY:

So what? Better him than me.

ANDY:

(ANGRILY)

You kept the tape! We're all

getting heat for your stupidity!

(BEAT)

Now let's just split up and get

this over with.

They both separate. Stanley heads around into the woods,

Andy heads the other way.

77 EXT. HENDERSONVILLE RIVER, WOODS - DAY 77

We're with Stanley as he walks further into the woods, his

eyes scan in all directions... but there is nothing there.

78 EXT. HENDERSONVILLE RIVER, WATERLINE - DAY 78

We're with Andy as he walks the waterline.

ANDY:

Matthew?!

Then, Andy notices an uneven ripple in the water. He thinks

nothing of it... until it happens again.

This catches his eye. Slowly he makes his way over. The

water has calmed now, but still, Andy has a sense that

something is not right.

ANDY (CONT'D)

Matthew!

As he gets close to the water - he now sees his reflection...

He squints his eyes trying to get a better look at what is

beneath the surface --

WHOOSH! SOMETHING runs right behind his back - the entire

reflection caught in the water --

Andy spins around - as he staggers into the water - no one is

there... nothing.

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 74A.

just the calm breeze through the trees -- but then a small

outcrop of bushes rustle as if something just moved through.

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 75.

Andy calms - then makes his way over with purpose-

ANDY (CONT'D)

Only making it worse for yourself,

Matt.

Andy picks up his pace as he nears the tree line - right

where he saw the movement.

Out of the corner of his eye, he sees another branch swinging

unnaturally. He races over--

CLOSER:
He can actually hear breathing - it's getting louder-

ANDY (CONT'D)

Matthew?-

STANLEY JUMPS OUT--

STANLEY:

Boo!

ANDY:

Jesus! You bastard!

Stanley laughs so hard he starts to cough -- Just as they're

about to continue on - the sound of a harmonica breaks

through. The same eerie tune.

ANDY (CONT'D)

What the--?

STANLEY:

Prick's playing your song.

He looks at Stanley.

ANDY:

The hell with the Sheriff, I'm

gonna kill him myself... MATTHEW!!

79 EXT. WOODS - DAY 79

Andy and Stanley run through the woods, trying to find the

source of the sound.

ANDY:

You're ass is grass Matthew!!

Branches and leaves fly by as Andy barrels through the

foliage. Stanley tries to keep up, but it's no use.

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 76.

The SOUND changes direction - they look off to see SOMEONE

flash through the trees.

ANDY (CONT'D)

There he is. That way!

STANLEY:

Matthew! You're a dead man!

They race off after the sound.

80 EXT. WOODS - DAY 80

They continue on - Stanley doesn't look too good.

ANDY:

Don't you pass out on me. I ain't

dragging your ass back.

Suddenly, the tune stops. Andy stops in his tracks, trying

to figure out which way to proceed. Suddenly, Stanley hears

another sound. Crying.

STANLEY:

Hear that?

They're off again. About fifty yards away, hidden behind the

trees, is the SHACK. Something slips around the side of the

structure. Stanley immediately spots what he thinks is

Matthew.

STANLEY (CONT'D)

Matthew!

ANDY:

He's in there all right.

STANLEY:

Good, cause he's coming out in pieces.

Andy races ahead leaving Stanley trying to catch his breath

behind him.

81 INT. DILAPIDATED HOUSE - DAY 81

Andy enters. The shack appears as we first saw it, only now

there are remnants of recent life.

ANDY:

Matthew! Where the f*** are you!

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 77.

Under the table is a pile of filthy old clothes. It almost

looks like... a makeshift pillow.

He picks up a moldy tin can which once contained some

preserved meal. He tosses it to the ground.

82 EXT. DILAPIDATED HOUSE - DAY 82

Stanley waddles out the back of the shack. He stops. About

twenty yards away and sees JENNIFER leaning against a tree.

STANLEY:

Why you little b*tch...

Stanley races over - Just as Stanley gets close - SNAP!! A

hidden BEAR TRAP clamps down on Stanley's leg - the pain is

intense as he screams out - He staggers backwards and falls

to the ground in agony

STANLEY (CONT'D)

Oh, God! Oh, my f***ing God!

ON ANDY:
As he exits the Shack to see Stanley on the ground

writhing in pain.

STANLEY (CONT'D)

Please! Andy! My f***ing leg!

Andy races over to assist him. As he offers Stanley his

hand, he notices Stanley's eyes catching a glimpse of someone

behind him. But as soon as he turns, the wooden BAT, the one

from the fishing hole, catches him flush across the face!

He's down and before Stanley knows it she cracks him in the

back of the head.
