Lake Placid: The Final Chapter Page #3

---

first it ate her husband.

It was years before

anybody found out,

but when they did,

more people started to die.

Bickerman, her sister,

a dozen others.

Can we, uh, talk

about something else?

This story is

totally freaking me out.

Sorry.

Okay, let me tell you

a really nice story.

Rick!

Jim!

(CROCODILE GROWLING)

Rick!

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Jake!

(GRUNTS)

(SCREAMING) No!

Are you okay?

Yeah. Why?

I don't know, you just

seem a little nervous.

I'm sorry.

It's just...

Being on the lake kind

of creeps me out a little.

Your mom's

the Sheriff, huh?

Yeah.

My grandpa was

a homicide detective.

Is that what

you want to do?

No way!

I don't know what

I want to do yet.

I like books.

Librarian?

I was thinking journalist.

I'm gonna get an MBA,

start a business.

I want to retire

by the time I'm 35.

Ambitious.

I mean, I know

it sounds cocky...

No, no, no,

ambition is good.

None of the guys at my school have any

drive besides get high and get laid.

ELAINE:
Chloe, do you want me

to leave the flashlight on?

I'll be right there.

I better go.

You got to go?

Yeah.

Good night, Chloe.

Good night.

Hey, you.

Hey.

For old time's sake?

What about Chloe?

She's asleep.

What if somebody sees us?

Let them watch.

(GIGGLING AND SQUEALING)

(GROANS)

Hi, ladies.

GIRL:
Ew.

(CHUCKLING)

Hey! This is not a toilet.

We're swimming here.

The whole world's a toilet. The

sooner you realize that, the better.

Perv! (SCOFFS)

GUS:
Ah, honey,

our first fight.

Bite me!

(GROWLING)

(BONES CRUNCHING)

(SCREAMING)

(VIBRATING)

(SIGHS)

This is the Sheriff.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Has anybody seen Gus?

You mean creepy

bus driver guy?

Maybe he went for a hike.

DREW:
Whoo!

BOY:
F***!

Oh, jet skis!

It's go-time, bro.

Yeah.

DREW:
Whoo-hoo!

Who wants to be

my co-pilot?

Not me. I have serious

plans to do nothing.

What about you, Chloe?

I...

I'll ride, b*tch.

I am sure you will.

Skank.

She does have

a great ass, though.

Hey, Sheriff.

What do you got?

Well, I made a loop last

night around (STUTTERS) 7:00.

The gates were closed then

and Max was still working.

Now when I came by at 8:00

this morning, wide open.

Who was the last one

to see Max last night?

Well, that was

Jake Forester.

He's one of

the local contractors.

He said that when

he drove out of here,

he saw that Max was

(STUTTERS) filling up his car.

Well, he must have

seen someone inside.

Why else would he

open the gate?

Hey, I got your call.

What's going on?

RYAN:
Max is missing and the

gate's been left open all night.

(BEEPING)

Ryan!

It's a few hours old.

The trail leads this way

towards the water. Let's go.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

(WHOOPING)

(LAUGHING) Hey!

Hey!

(SCREAMS)

(CHUCKLES) Hey!

Hey, hey, guys!

(GASPING)

(SCREAMS)

(GROANS)

Ow!

What the hell?

Max?

Chloe.

What happened to you?

No time to explain.

We gotta go.

Chloe, look!

We're inside the fence.

This is the wrong lake.

Yeah. We have to

get out of here.

Wait. I'm with

a bunch of friends.

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

ELAINE:
Oh,

there they are.

BRITTANY:
Hey, guys.

Where's Chloe?

Oh, she's gone for a walk.

Who cares?

Ooh, what happened to Joey?

He got schooled.

(FISH TRILLING)

Hey, throw me

one of those.

(GROWLING)

(GROANS)

(SCREAMING)

(ALL SCREAMING)

(GROWLING)

Open the door!

Run! Come on!

Hurry!

(BONES CRUNCHING)

(SCREAMING)

(GIRLS SCREAMING)

(CROCODILE ROARING)

(CROCODILE GROWLING)

Max!

(GROWLING IN DISTANCE)

Hey, you're not gonna

want to see this.

Oh.

It's not him.

RYAN:
Thank God.

That's gonna be

a lot of paperwork.

You're a sick f***,

you know that, Loflin?

(GRUNTING)

It's not the weirdest thing I've

ever seen, but it's on the list.

TERESA:
What is it?

It's the spinal column

of another croc.

They really are

eating each other.

No, the little one

crawled up the big one's ass.

We knew that putting up the fence

would limit their food supply,

but we didn't think

it would get this bad.

They must have

run out of deer.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Gotta find Max.

(PANTING)

(SCREAMS)

Oh, Elaine,

thank God you're okay.

I can't find Tina. I

don't know where she is.

What the hell just happened?

CHLOE:
We're at the wrong

lake. Understatement.

Does anyone have their cell?

DREW:
Everything I had

is back at the camp.

Me, too.

This is crazy!

This is crazy!

We have to get

back to the gate.

It'll be faster to go back to

the camp, get the bus from there.

Back to the camp

they just tore apart?

I got away from

them once already.

No! Absolutely not!

ELAINE:
I'm not

going back there.

Fine, then we follow

the fence, head south.

Wait, there's a fence?

Can we climb it?

The fence is electrified and

it surrounds the entire lake.

There are only,

what, three gates?

Two, north and south.

I'll get us back to the gate.

Whoa!

That ain't great.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

(RINGING)

CHLOE:
How many do you

think are out here?

When we started work on the

fence, we'd barely see any.

Maybe one every three weeks.

Recently, a lot.

If this is some kind of nature

preserve crap, how did we end up here?

The gate was left open.

Our parents have got to be

looking for us already.

They'll find us.

Before we walk

another mile.

What is it?

Does anyone else smell that?

Someone's cooking.

Last night, I opened the gate because

I heard someone inside the fence.

Poachers maybe.

Poachers have guns.

A gun sounds good to me

right about now.

You okay?

Hey, we should go.

Hello?

Who's there?

(GROWLING)

(ROARS)

(SCREAMS)

(SCREAMING)

(YELPS)

(CROCODILE GROWLING)

Chloe!

Chloe!

(SCREAMING)

(WHIMPERING)

(CROCODILE GROWLING)

Chloe!

Chloe!

Chloe!

(CHLOE SCREAMING)

(GROWLING)

(GRUNTING)

(SCREAMS)

(GRUNTS)

(ROARS)

(CROCODILE GROANING)

(BONE CRACKS)

(CROCODILE GROANS)

Chloe.

You okay?

Yeah.

I'm okay.

Hang on. I'll get you out of there.

We gotta cut the power

on the fence.

Uh, bad idea.

Unless you want to use the entire

population of Lake Placid as bait.

She's right.

Without the voltage

running through the fence,

it's not gonna hold up long

to something that big.

We cut the power. The kids can climb

out. Then we can put it back on.

Yeah? Well, the kids

won't know the power's off.

There's no way they'd

climb over the fence.

I'm with the Lieutenant

on this one.

I've seen what happens when these

things go all psycho reptile.

We need more

eyes out here.

And guns.

What's the name of that

bartender friend of yours?

Seth.

You ever go

hunting with him?

Yeah, sure.

He even shoots decent.

For a dude.

Deputy Glass.

GLASS:
Copy, Sheriff.

Get Seth and Sharkey

on the horn,

tell them that crocodile

season has officially opened.

You got it, Sheriff.

I'm all over it.

(SOBBING)

(VOMITING)

(SOBBING)

(GAGGING)

Drew. I need your help.

Chloe needs you.

Yeah. Brittany

needs her head.

Snap out of it, bro.

I need your help.

(WHIMPERING)

Nermal, tie up the back of the

boat. We need first aid here.
