I Still Know What You Did Last Summer Page #15

BIRDS:

fly up and out of the hole she's made in the roof.

Karla tries to stand and her leg gives way. She tests her knee --

KARLA:

Oww...

Karla starts hobbling. She reaches the door -- it's locked from the

other side.

There is a thick glass window set in the middle of the door.

The cranes startle again, something upsetting them. Karla spins to

look. Nothing.

CUT TO:

91INT. HOTEL/ORCHID HOUSE - NIGHT

Julie and Nancy arrive at the door. Karla pounds on the other side --

points to the lock.

KARLA:

It's locked!

Nancy sees a KEY RING by the door.

NANCY:

It's gotta be one of these.

Nancy tries the first of many keys. Something catches Julie's eye. She

moves in for a closer look. Her eyes go wide --

ORCHID HOUSE - JULIE'S POV

A powerful BOLT OF LIGHTNING cracks. Fills the room with a pulse of

bright light. BEN IS STANDING INSIDE AND HE'S HEADING STRAIGHT FOR

KARLA.

JULIE:

(terrified)

He's inside.

Karla spins. Sees him. Her terrified scream blends with the cranes,

now SHRIEKING VIOLENTLY.

KARLA:

Please! Hurry!

92INT. HOTEL/ORCHID HOUSE - NIGHT

Nancy fumbles with the keys. Drops them. Julie tries to keep calm.

JULIE:

Come on...

93INT. HOTEL/ORCHID HOUSE - NIGHT

Ben closes fast, slicing the tops off orchids as he goes. He skewers a

bud on the tip of his hook.

Karla pounds on the door.

KARLA:

(frantic)

Hurry!

Nancy fumbles for the right key but the lock is old.

JULIE:

Nancy...

NANCY:

(crying)

It's jammed!

The key is stuck.

KARLA:

(through glass)

Come on!!

She's running out of time. Julie sees a FIRE AXE encased in the glass

safety box.

JULIE:

(determined)

No way!!

Julie smashes the glass with her elbow. Grabs the axe.

JULIE:

(to Nancy)

Move!

Julie hammers the door with the axe. Wood splinters. Glass cracks.

Ben is almost on top of Karla now.

Julie swings. The axe breaks the glass, pulls the frame out. Julie

drops the axe. They grab Karla. Pull her through.

Ben swings. The hook rips Karla's shoe, but Julie and Nancy pull her

through.

Julie and Ben are face to face. Julie has the axe in her hands. She

stares him down.

JULIE:

Come on, gimme a shot --

Ben rips off his hook, eyeing Julie.

KARLA:

(shouting)

Julie, come on.

They flee. Ben tries the door, realizes it had locked behind him. He

can't fit through the circular window. He throws his shoulder against

the door. And again. And again.

The door frame starts to give --

CUT TO:

94EXT. STORM SHELTER - NIGHT

Julie, Karla, and Nancy approach the iron door to the underground

storm cellar. Julie carries the axe.

NANCY:

It's over there.

They struggle together to open the heavy door.

95INT. STORM SHELTER - NIGHT

Stairs lead down into darkness. Karla hesitates --

KARLA:

I don't know...

JULIE:

Come on, you can make it.

Julie gets in, pulling Karla in behind her. They pull the door closed

behind them.

NANCY:

There's a light somewhere.

96INT. STORM SHELTER - NIGHT

The darkness is complete. We hear MOVEMENT.

KARLA:

Julie?

JULIE:

I'm right here. Grab my hand.

NANCY:

This place has emergency power.

Just ease you way down the stairs

and I'll find the light.

JULIE:

Okay. I'm at the bottom. Karla,

just get my hand.

KARLA:

I'm holding your hand!

JULIE:

No, you're not.

KARLA:

...Nancy?

Nancy pulls the chain on an overhead bulb. The lights go on,

illuminating

THE DEAD CORPSES

of Brooks, Derrick, Olga, and Titus -- whose hand Karla is holding.

The women SCREAM!

They muddle together, trying to collect themselves.

Suddenly, there is a POUNDING on the iron door. They SCREAM.

Then, Julie remembers the axe. She motions the others to stay back --

JULIE:

All right --

The iron hatch is slowly opening. Julie gets the axe into possition --

WILL:

pokes his head through. He's clutching a piece of wood as a weapon.

WILL:

It's you guys, thank god. Is

everyone okay?

They are ecstatic to see him. They bound up the concrete stairs --

KARLA:

Help's here. Help's here.

97EXT. HOTEL WALKWAY - NIGHT

Will is already on the move toward the hotel.

WILL:

Come on. We're gonna be okay.

JULIE:

Did you get help?

Will shakes his head. He's walking woozily.

JULIE (cont'd)

What happened?

WILL:

Estes came after me with a gaffing

hook.

JULIE:

He's in it with Willis?

WILL:

I guess so.

Julie points out that his chest and stomach are covered in blood, too.

JULIE:

Your stomach, you're hurt --

Will looks down, clutches himself, and keeps moving.

WILL:

When I was coming back I saw your

slicker friend looking for you guys

down by the water.

(beat)

Let's hurry and get inside...

CUT TO:

98EXT. BEACH - NIGHT

Ray guns the boat straight up onto the beach. He leaps from the boat.

CUT TO:

99INT. HOTEL BAR - NIGHT

Will slumps down on the bar floor. He's floating in and out of

consciousness. Julie leans over him, concerned.

JULIE:

Oh, my god, you're bleeding to

death.

She looks back towards Nancy --

JULIE (cont'd)

We need a first-aid kit.

NANCY:

(already moving)

I saw one in the lobby.

Karla starts, then hesitates. Will moans, looks at her.

NANCY (cont'd)

I'll come with you.

WILL:

You'll be okay. It's over.

Karla and Nancy rush from the bar. Julie looks tenderly at Will. He

looks back at her. She pulls some hair off his forehead. He smiles

weakly.

JULIE:

Will, just hold on. We'll get you

fixed up.

CUT TO:

100INT. HOTEL LOBBY - NIGHT

Karla and Nancy go to the area near the check-in and behind the desk.

NANCY:

Look up there. I'll look over here.

Karla looks behind the desk. Nancy is searching the shelves.

CUT TO:

101INT. HOTEL BAR - NIGHT

Julie tenderly searches the area around Will's stomach. She's fussing

with the clothes, looking for the wound.

JULIE:

You've got blood everywhere, but I

can't find the wound.

Will takes her head in his hands, looks her in the eye.

WILL:

That's because it's not my blood.

The slow change in Julie as she realizes...

She starts to run. Will roughly grabs her.

WILL (cont'd)

It's time you woke up, Julie.

His voice switches to that of a familiar radio disk jockey.

WILL (cont'd)

(as Mark in the Morning)

AND START CONTEMPLATING THE ULTIMATE

MAGIC GETAWAY!

He drags her out of the bar.

CUT TO:

102INT. HOTEL LOBBY - NIGHT

Nancy sees a white metal box sitting on a shelf. She reaches for it...

It's a first aid kit.

ANOTHER HAND:

reaches over and lands on top of her hand. She jumps and sees Estes

right behind her. Karla SCREAMS.

ESTES:

Will...He's in on it. He's --

Suddenly Estes's expression changes to surprise, and

A SPEAR TIP:

appears in the front of his chest.

Nancy screams and looks over Estes's shoulder to see

BEN WILLIS:

standing there holding a spear gun.

Estes topples over on top of Nancy, pinning her underneath his dying,

convulsing body. Nancy struggles to get loose.

NANCY:

Help me.

Karla rushes to Nancy. She tugs on her arm, trying to pull her free.

The fisherman strides toward them. He raises his hook. He swings at

Karla's head.

THE HOOK CATCHES

on a beam. Karla struggle with Nancy.

KARLA:

Come on, come on.

Ben tries to free his hook hand. Karla looks up at him. He calmly puts

his foot onto Estes's back and steps down with all of his weight,

driving
