I Spit on Your Grave Page #9

MATTHEW:

I...I ddd...don't want to.

Johnny walks up to Matthew, angrily, and slaps him across the

face. He points to Jennifer.

JOHNNY:

What do you mean you don't want to?

(TEASING)

sh...she likes me... she kissed me.

Now shut up and prove it.

Matthew holds his fist against his face.

ANDY:

Aw, f*** it. I ain't waiting.

Andy grabs the VODKA BOTTLE. He walks over to Jennifer,

still on her knees, and positions the bottle right in front

of his crotch.

ANDY (CONT'D)

Suck it, b*tch.

Jennifer opens her mouth and moves her head toward the

bottle. As she maneuvers the bottle-neck into her mouth, her

eye catches a large shard of glass next to Andy's boot.

As soon as Andy turns around to smile at his friends,

Jennifer grabs the bottle and cracks it upside his kneecap.

Andy immediately grabs his leg and falls to the floor.

The guys start laughing as--

Jennifer leaps up from the floor and rushes over to her

purse. She quickly pulls out a canister of mace -

Before the guys even register what is happening Jennifer is

racing at Stanley --

As he brings the camera down he's met with a spray of mace.

He clutches his face, screaming in pain --

And like that - Jennifer is out the back door.

35 EXT. CABIN - DAWN 35

Jennifer leaps over the porch steps and sprints across the

backyard as the first light creeps through the trees. Within

seconds, she's in the woods.

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 31.

36 EXT. WOODS - DAWN 36

Jennifer runs for all she's worth. Every few yards, she

looks behind her, just to make sure that no one is chasing

her. The morning light now fully visible. Then, just as she

turns back around, Jennifer smacks right into something and

goes sprawling.

When her vision comes into focus she sees the side of a shiny

black boot. Next to it, the long slim barrel of a shotgun.

Jennifer looks up at the figure.

FIGURE:

Whoa, whoa, whoa there. Easy

darlin'.

The Figure extends his hand. As Jennifer reaches for it, she

sees his jacket pull away from his chest, revealing a silver

badge. She's found SHERIFF STORCH, a small town sheriff with

a small town charm that can easily be confused as smarmy.

JENNIFER:

Help me. Please!

Standing next to the Sheriff, also holding a hunting rifle,

is Earl. Earl looks over at the Sheriff.

SHERIFF STORCH:

Okay, okay, I gotcha.

The Sheriff helps Jennifer to her feet.

EARL:

I know this one. She rented the

place down on Mockingbird Trail.

JENNIFER:

I was assaulted! They broke into

the cabin! They had a gun-

Jennifer breaks down again.

SHERIFF STORCH:

Ma'am, please, you have to calm

down.

But Jennifer is hysterical, desperately holding back tears.

JENNIFER:

In my mouth! He put a gun in my

mouth! You don't understand...

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 32.

SHERIFF STORCH:

Ma'am, It's okay. I'm the Sheriff.

You need to take a deep breath and

tell me what happened.

Jennifer forces herself to take a deep breath and manages to

pull herself together.

JENNIFER:

Four men. It was four of them.

They broke into my cabin... They

assaulted me!

Earl just watches not knowing what to do.

SHERIFF STORCH:

Are you hurt? Do you need a

hospital?

Jennifer shakes her head.

SHERIFF STORCH (CONT'D)

Okay, good. That's good. Did you

get a good look at them? Can you

ID 'em?

JENNIFER:

Yes, I'd seen them before.

SHERIFF STORCH:

Around here?

JENNIFER:

At the service station right

outside of town. They work there.

SHERIFF STORCH:

(TO EARL)

John Miller no doubt.

JENNIFER:

Yes. They called him Johnny.

There was a heavy set guy too--

AND --

Sheriff Storch shakes his head and rolls his eyes.

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 33.

SHERIFF STORCH:

Sounds like them boys been up to no

good. Alright Earl. You best head

on back. Me and Miss...

JENNIFER:

Hills. Jennifer Hills.

SHERIFF STORCH:

Me and Miss Hills are gonna head on

over to the cabin and straighten

'em out.

37 BRT. CABIN - DAY 37

Sheriff Storch and Jennifer pull up to the cabin. They both

get out of the cruiser. With his double barrel shotgun in

hand, Sheriff Storch begins walking up toward the porch.

38 INT. CABIN - DAY 38

Sheriff Storch and Jennifer enter the cabin. It appears

empty.

SHERIFF STORCH:

Hello?

(BEAT)

Miller? Miller, this is the

Sheriff. if you and your boys are

still in there, you come on out

right now.

Sheriff Storch disappears into the kitchen for a second...

then back out as he makes his way over to the foot of the

stairs. He looks up the staircase.

SHERIFF STORCH (CONT'D)

Miller, if you're up there, you'll

be leaving by the window.

No answer. Sheriff Storch looks at Jennifer.

SHERIFF STORCH (CONT'D)

Stay here.

Sheriff Storch heads up the stairs. Jennifer, uncomfortable

at being left alone, backs away to the wall. Every noise,

every foot step makes her shiver.

After a few seconds, the Sheriff comes back to the top of the

stairs.
