Scream 2 Page #7

SIDNEY:

It's starting all over again.

DEREK:

Lemme take you home.

SIDNEY:

I'll get my jacket.

Sidney, indifferent, moves through the open front door, back inside the house.

Her face and mind detached from what's going on. Derek remains on the porch, watching the

spectacle. Slowly, the door behind him closes.

INT. DELTA ZETA LIVING ROOM - SANE

Sid moves through the living room, she grabs her coat when the phone RINGS. She looks at it

suspiciously...knowingly...she reaches for it.

SIDNEY:

Hello?

MAN'S VOICE

Hello Sidney?

The VOICE. Low and haunting. Sidney closes her eyes. When she opens them tears are immediate

But still, she refuses to crack.

SIDNEY:

Who are you?

MAN'S VOICE

Soon, Sidney, soon.

SIDNEY:

What do you want?

MAN'S VOICE

To see every ounce of blood drain from your body.

The Voice has never sounded more evil...more seductive. Sidney doesn't flinch.

She holds steady.

SIDNEY:

Then come and get me.

And with that Sidney hangs up the phone, SLAMMING it down. Silence. And then...

MAN'S VOICE

My pleasure.

The Voice comes from inside the room...behind her. Sidney spins around and finds herself

staring at the...

GHOST MASKED FIGURE

But not the one from the movie theater. The one from Sidney's nightmare long ago. It stands

in the foyer archway, staring at her.

A sustained moment. A stand off. Sidney doesn't move. But then the killer withdraws his

trademark. A long, steel hunting knife...blood stained.

SIDNEY BOLTS:

as the GHOST LEAPS at her. She SCREAMS, dodging him,

ON THE PORCH:

Derek hears her SCREAM. He turns to the front door. He finds it locked. He starts to BEAT on it.

DEREK:

Sid? Sid?

IN THE LIVING ROOM

Sid just dodges the Ghost, just missing the knife's blade. She bolts through the living room,

to the front door. Derek beats on it from outside.

IN THE FOYER:

SIDNEY:

Derek. He's in the house. Help...me...

She struggles with the door, there are too many locks, the Ghost is already upon her. She

looks to the stairs, thinks better of it...flies through the dining room.

INT. FRONT PORCH - SANE

Derek is going nuts trying to get into the house. He moves along the porch to the windows,

looking through. He watches as the Ghost Figure chases her into the kitchen. Derek looks

about the porch. He rears his foot back and kicks in the window.

INT. KITCHEN - SAME

Sid moves through the kitchen to the back door. She struggles with the lock as the Ghost is

right behind her. She barely makes it out the back door...

EXT. BACK YARD - SAME

A large, fenced in yard. Lots of big oak trees. Sid flies down the back porch and into the

yard. She moves across it, passed trees and shrubs. She spots a closed fence door in the back

of the yard. She looks behind her to find...

NOTHING:

She scans the yard, the Ghost Figure has completely disappeared. She moves behind a big tree,

hiding behind it. Sid stops, catches her breath, then peers from behind the tree. The yard is

completely empty. She goes for the fence door, slowly moving around the tree.

BUMP! A noise in the darkness. She spins around, still making her way around the tree, moving

backwards, walking right into a FIGURE. She SCREAMS, spinning around, finding herself face to

face with...

CICI'S BODY

hanging, dangling, hung from the tree, her stomach a ripped, bloody mess. Sidney SCREAMS IN

UNFORGETTABLE HORROR. She steps back, falling right into the arms of...

DEWEY:

She turns, SCREAMING.

DEWEY:

It's okay. It's okay. It's just me.

He takes her into his arms, comforting her, as she holds on for dear life.

EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS - MORNING

The early sun casts light upon an otherwise dark and joyless morning as the blood stained

campus slowly comes to life.

EXT. CAMPUS SECURITY STATION - MORNING

The local campus security office has been converted into a media event. News trucks, cameras

and REPORTERS stand guard outside while inside...

INT. CAMPUS SECURITY STATION - MORNING

The place is packed. No longer just a campus security office. The place has been converted to

the local police station as well as FBI headquarters. UNIFORMS and SUITS swarm the place.

In a back section of the room, Sheriff Hartley and Captain Tyler are in a huge discussion

with Dean Fisher. Tempers are heated. Its been a sleepless night for all.

CAPTAIN TYLER:

We don't know if it's random. We haven't been able to connect the victims.

SHERIFF:

The first two were stabbed without thought. The sorority girl was gutted with

autopsy precision.

DEAN FISHER:

Christ! Just do something. I will not have a repeat of Gainesville. Not on my campus..

Dewey listens to this exchange, slowly stepping forward.

DEWEY:

Sidney Prescott, sir.

They both turn to him.

DEWEY (cont'd)

She's the connection.

CAPTAIN TYLER:

We know that, son.

DEWEY:

The killer was trying to get to her. That sorority girl was a distraction.

CAPTAIN TYLER:

We're aware of that.

Sheriff Hartley steps forward.

DEWEY:

The killer is obviously repeating Woodsboro. I can fill you in on what I know.

Dewey is not a welcome participant. Eyes roll. Captain Tyler pulls Dewey aside.

CAPTAIN TYLER:

Look, son. I know you've lived through this, but we got it under control. Why don't you

have some coffee?

Just then, Gale Weathers appears being ushered in by TWO UNIFORMS. Dean Fisher greets her

with smiles The FBI and local police fawn over her.

SHERIFF:

Thank you, Miss Weathers for coming in.

GALE:

Of course, what can I do?

Captain Tyler gives Dewey a patronizing pat on the back, sending him off.

CAPTAIN TYLER:

We were hoping you could help with the killer's profile.

Dewey's face couldn't be more burned.

INT. CAMPUS SECURITY STATION - MORNING - MINUTES LATER

A chalk board in front of them. Three names are written on it under the

label "Victims" --MAUREEN EVANS, PHIL STEVENS, CICI TAYLOR.

Gale is at the chalk board

GALE:

Maureen Evans--Maureen Prescott. Sidney Prescott's mother. The first victim in the

Woodsboro Murders. Phil Stevens-- Stephen Orth--the first kid to be murdered.

Ten to one--Cici is not the third victim's real name.

SHERIFF:

It's Cassandra.

GALE:

Nickname Cassie or--Casey. The third victim in Woodsboro. She was hung from a tree and gutted.

The room goes quiet. Dewey watches from the back of the room. His eyes burning holes into Gale.

CAPTAIN TYLER:

Jesus...

GALE:

This is a complete copycat. Your killer is even going in sequence.

Captain Tyler sits up.

CAPTAIN TYLER:

Who was the next victim in Woodsboro?

GALE:

In the book or in the movie?

DEAN FISHER:

Let's try reality.

GALE:

Mr. Himbry--the principal was the next victim. However, in the movie version, Tatum Riley

was killed next. Dramatic license.

SHERIFF:

Jesus Christ. Captain Tyler flies out of his seat and into action.

CAPTAIN TYLER:

(to his men) Find me every variation of Himbry and what was the other name...

DEWEY:

Tatum Riley.

Dewey speaks up. His voice soft but heard. The entire room stares at him, knowingly. Gale's

eyes find his. He looks away.

CAPTAIN TYLER:

Both on campus and the surrounding community. I want names ASAP.
