I Still Know What You Did Last Summer Page #12

KARLA:

Julie...

JULIE:

Only he wasn't dead. He killed Barry

and Helen last July Fourth.

Tyrell begins backing away from Julie. He picks up a piece of

driftwood from the dock.

JULIE (cont'd)

I thought Ray and I killed him on the

boat, but we didn't and now he's back

to finish up the job.

Tyrell holds up the log as a weapon. He's angry and afraid --

TYRELL:

We're on an island, miles from

anywhere. I don't give a crap about

you're fisherman. There's dead bodies

pilling up everywhere and there's one

guy missing --

Will moves closer to Tyrell --

WILL:

The porter...what's his name? Old

Asbestos --

TYRELL:

Estes! That's exactly who it is. That

old guy knows something. We can sit

here and wait for him to pick us off

or we can go find him first.

Tyrell turns and heads down the dock. Will goes with him. Karla takes

a few hesitant steps after them, then turns back toward Julie, who

hasn't moved.

KARLA:

Julie, we have to do something.

Julie sees her friend caught in the middle, sees her suffering. She

reluctantly starts for Karla --

JULIE:

(sotto)

It's not him.

CUT TO:

62INT. GREYHOUND BUS - NIGHT

Standard bus folks: old people in Panama hats, buzz-cut military geeks

on holiday.

Ray sits in a seat. He's in pain and does not look good.

He pops a handful of pills into his mouth and washes them down with an

Orange Crush --

A dignified OLD LADY has been watching him --

OLD LADY:

People live healthy in Miami.

(sincere, but unsettling)

It's the future down there every day

of the week...The future.

Ray slumps back, waiting for the pills to work.

RAY:

I'll keep that in mind.

CUT TO:

63INT. HOTEL TOWER ROOM - DUSK

The door to Estes's room BANGS inward. Tyrell, Will, Karla, and Julie

charge into the room.

TYRELL:

Yo, Freak Boy --

The cluttered room is empty.

WILL:

He's not here.

Tyrell and Will begin roughly searching through Estes's possessions.

TYRELL:

We're gonna find some weird crap

in here.

In the corner there is a curtain used as a partition. Julie pulls the

curtain back and discovers

A SMALL, HEAVY CABINET

sitting in the corner. It seems to glow from inside while casting an

evil pall over the room.

Julie moves toward it and hesitates before opening the doors.

Inside -- is a small voodoo shrine. A candle has burned low before it.

Hanging before the altar is

THE LITTLE STRAW MAN

impaled on a fishhook.

JULIE:

Voodoo.

TYRELL:

I told you.

Julie looks closer. She sees her toothbrush, a hair tie, assorted

other knickknacks belonging to her friends.

TYRELL:

(to Karla)

Missing a hair tie?

Karla looks in. Tyrell snatches the straw man up.

TYRELL:

We found our guy.

THUNDER rumbles across the sky like the judgement of God.

CUT TO:

64INT. HOTEL CORRIDOR - NIGHT

Julie, Karla, Tyrell, and Will walk quickly down the corridor. They

have grabbed some of their things.

TYRELL:

We gotta find flashlights, torches,

guns if they got 'em, anything

that'll help.

Will and Tyrell eye the stairs leading down to the lobby.

TYRELL:

Wait. Maybe he's down there

collecting the body parts.

Will and Tyrell exchange a glance, an "are you man enough?" kind of

glance.

WILL:

Let's go.

65INT. HOTEL LOBBY - NIGHT

The men head into the kitchen and bar area.

WILL:

We'll only be a second, okay?

TYRELL:

Yeah, wait right here, it's the

safest place.

Karla is terrified and waits by the stairs, but something catches

Julie's eye. She walks across the lobby.

KARLA:

Julie, where are you going?

Julie keeps walking. She sees historical pictures of the hotel: work

crews during construction; the first limbo contest; fishermen standing

next to sailfish and marlin.

Near the pictures, Julie sees the globe. It's spinning slowly.

Julie hesitates, then walks toward the globe. It stops spinning. She

looks down at it.

CLOSE ON - THE GLOBE

and Julie's hand finding Brazil. We see the capital is not Rio, but

Brazilia. This is dawning on Julie when we hear --

ESTES (v.o.)

Brasilia.

She jumps out of her skin. Estes was standing right there in the

shadows.

ESTES (cont'd)

That's the capital of Brazil, not

Rio.

Karla SCREAMS.

Tyrell comes flying across the lobby past Karla. He dives on Estes,

tackling him to the floor. Will is right behind him.

WILL/ESTES/TYRELL

Let go. I got him. That's me. It's

him. We got you...

JULIE:

Leave him alone.

Tyrell holds up battered Estes --

TYRELL:

Here's youre killer --

ESTES:

No --

WILL:

We found your voodoo crap --

ESTES:

No --

They shake Estes, finally giving him a chance to speak.

ESTES (cont'd)

I found the bodies this morning...I

tried to use the radio, but he

already destroyed it.

JULIE:

Let him go. I believe him.

KARLA:

Come on, Julie. You saw his room.

ESTES:

I haven't hurt anyone...I stole

those things to help you. To

protect you.

JULIE:

He's telling the truth. He could've

easily killed me. He didn't.

(beat while

this sinks in)

Look, we didn't even answer the

radio question right...This whole

thing was a setup.

KARLA:

What do you mean?

JULIE:

Rio isn't the capital of Brazil. It

was the wrong answer. Sorry, we lose.

TYRELL:

(starting to lose it)

You've got all these theories but

where is he? Where? Where's your

fisherman killer?

JULIE:

I don't know.

TYRELL:

(losing it)

You never do...The guy at the

nightclub, the body in your room last

night. Little notes that only mean

something to you. How do we even know

you're not the one behind this --

Estes steps forward --

JULIE:

(to Tyrell)

How do we know you're not?

ESTES:

(to Julie)

I know who you're talking about. He

used to work here at the hotel.

(beat)

And I've seen him around again. Out

in the woods by the orchard.

They look at Estes...Is he telling the truth?

ESTES:

I can't remeber his name, but I

don't forget a face.

(beseeching)

I can show you...

They stare a beat --

WILL:

How do we know you're not setting

us up?

ESTES:

Where else you gonna go, son?

They look to the office, the gym...The sense of death surrounding

them.

KARLA:

I know I don't want to stay in

here.

JULIE:

We'll be better off in the open. If

we stick together, maybe we can kill

this creep for good.

TYRELL:

Show us.

They begin moving for the door.

CUT TO:

66EXT. FERRY DOCKS - NIGHT

Establish. The rain pounds a fleet of fishing boats. The boats are

securely battened down in the weather.

Ray limps past, heading for a small building at the end of the dock.

Its sign reads:
Island Ferry, Jack Paulsen -- proprieter.

CUT TO:

67INT. PAULSEN'S BOAT HOUSE - NIGHT

A gear-strewn office. Paulsen watches an episode of Party of Five.

There is a loud KNOCKING at the door.

PAULSEN:

What the...

Paulsen slowly gets up. He cracks the door open. Ray stands

silhouetted against the rain.

RAY:

I need to get to Tower Bay Island.

Paulsen senses something isn't right.

PAULSEN:

We're closed.

Ray pushes his way in --

RAY:

I need to get there, now.

Paulsen looks at him standing there drenched.

PAULSEN:

Did you happen to notice what's

going on outside?

Ray pulls out the gun and points it at Paulsen --

RAY:

I'm not looking for a weather

report, I'm looking for a boat. So

which one's yours?
