looks like I'm now the next target.

- What?

- You? Why you?

Do you think this wasn't a message?

- Roman Bridger?

- What?

Mr Bridger,

you didn't tell us...

you spoke with Sarah Darling

before she was murdered.

Uh, spoke with her, uh, when?

The guard said she was here

for a meeting with you.

- What meeting? I don't--

- We talked with her roommate too.

Says you called Sarah,

told her to come down to the studio.

- Roommate answered the phone.

Says it was you.

- Wait a minute. No, no.

I-I never called her.

I never told her to go anywhere.

Roommate says she knows

your voice, Mr Bridger.

Well, she wasn't speaking with me! God!

Look, I did not call Sarah Darling.

- Sarah Darling said you did.

- Someone's trying to ruin my movie.

Someone wants to kill

my movie!

All right, we'll talk about

your movie down at the station.

- All right.

- This is the scene

where you come with us.

Dewey,Jennifer--

Wait a minute.

She wasn't talking with me

on the phone. I'm coming!

I'll call him in. Battery. Mr Riley,

do you have a cell phone I can borrow?

Yeah.

- Thank you.

- God. Roman.

Remind me not

to sleep with him again.

Come here, Cherokee.

California Women's Crisis Counseling.

My name is Laura. How can I help you?

Oh, Laura.

I do have a crisis.

Okay, well, whatever it is,

you can tell me.

Oh, my God.

I've killed someone, Laura.

- Are you sure ?

- Uh-huh, I'm sure.

I killed someone, I know it!

Oh, my God.

- Well, then, um--

- I did.

Then the people you need to call

are the police.

No, I need to call you!

Just you.

I'm sorry, your-your voice--

Don't you wanna know

how you can help, Laura?

Are you listening to me?

Huh?

- Who is this?

- It's Mother, Laura.

Now, be a good girl

and turn on the news.

Do as Mother tells you!

You're not my mother. How did you

get this number? Who is this?

You know your mother's voice

when you hear it!

Now, turn on the news!

And with a second cast member

murdered, Stab 3...

has been officially shut down,

prompting those involved...

to hope and pray that

these killings maybe over.

Just one question.

Do you think it's over, Sidney?

Do you?

The sky was dark this morning

Not a bird in a tree

Is this a wrap party

or is this a wrap party?

Scene 34.

"Maureen's Murder Flashback."

- I never liked that scene.

- That's 'cause you weren't in it.

Scenes 40 through 47.

- "The Prescott House Flashbacks."

- Tom, stop it.

You're scaring me.

Two people are dead.

Scaring you?

Give the sweet,

young ingenue act a rest.

- You're drunk.

- I'm coping.

I bet she fought and clawed

for that Sidney part.

I bet she stepped on any poor girl

that got in her way.

- So you asked her out and she said no?

- That has nothing to do with it.

Right.

Come on, Dewey.

Scene 50.

"Dewey Saves the Day."

She's so focused on success

that she never thinks...

about who she's hurting

to get it.

And you saved her life, like,

how many times?

Gale wants the whole world

to love her.

One person's never enough.

She's a dreamer.

-No, she's a narcissistic, psycho b*tch.

-No, she's not.

She's got a good heart.

She does.

She just hides it away because

she thinks people see that as weak.

This is a good picture of you.

You look just like her.

God, Dewey.

You make it sound like

you're still in love with her.

And I left out the part

that she's cruel...

and selfish,

obsessive and annoying.

We have one Gale Weathers here.

We don't need two.

Hey, Dewdrop,

got your girlfriend out here.

Look who I found slinkin'

around the yard. The nightly news.

I wasn't slinking.

I was walking.

You were eaves dropping

at the bedroom window.

Yeah, a bedroom that

you seemed awfully at home in.

All right, let's talk.

Come on.

- What's this about, Gale?

- Did you know they released Roman?

Sarah's call didn't come

from his cell phone.

- Where did it come from then?

- A cloned cell phone. It's untraceable.

Well, thanks for the update, Gale.

Why don't you just go back home?

Dewey, wait a minute.

Just wait one second.

How old do you think

Maureen Prescott is in this picture?

- Nineteen, twenty.

- That's what I thought,

so I checked it out.

I cannot find any information about

her at this age. I mean, nothing.

She lived in Woodsboro her whole life.

Someone there must know something.

Almost her whole life.

Two years before...

she met Sidney's father,

she left Woodsboro.

No one has any idea

where she went or what she did.

I mean, it's-it's like she fell into

a black hole, Dewey! She vanished!

- So?

- So?

Why is the killer

leaving pictures of-of Maureen?

And why these pictures at-at--

at that point in her life?

I don't know! If I thought

like a homicidal maniac...

then I'd know how

a homicidal maniac thinks.

What?

-Jennifer.

-Jennifer?

Look at the buildings.

The second story. There and there.

It's the same!

It's the same street 28 years ago.

Oh, my God. Maureen Prescott was

at the back lot at Sunrise Studios!

- Oh, my God.

- I gotta make some calls.

Steven Stone

Protection Services.

Stone, where are you?

I'm just checking

your tin can, Dewdrop.

Well, come back inside

and stay with Jennifer.

Something's happened.

I have to go to the police.

Is that an order, Dewdrop? 'Cause

Steven Stone doesn't work for you.

Get back in the house, Stone.

Would I call you if it wasn 't important?

- What are you doing in there anyway?

- Me?

I'm just checking to make sure

there's no killer in here...

waitin' to off you

like he did your little sister.

What did you say?

I can't believe you said that.

That makes me...

angry!

F***er!

Gotta call Kincaid.

Dewey, where is everybody?

- Oh, God.

-Jennifer?

Angelina?

Tom?

Oh, my God!

What happened?

Don't do that.

I'm overreacting.

Dewdrop?

- Stone?

- Oh, my God!

Oh, God, Stone!

Oh, God!

- Dewey, is he dead?

- Yeah.

Everyone back inside!

It's all right.

Don't panic.

Okay, outside. Everyone,

stay together and try to remain calm.

A phone!

- It's not mine.

- It's not mine.

Sh*t!

It's the fax.

"Interior, Jennifer's house. Living

room, night." It's a script page.

- W-W-What's it say?

- "With the bodyguard stabbed to death,

the five stand trapped.

- He's rewriting the movie.

- As the killer waits outside...

suddenly the fax machine

sends news of their fates."

It's a trick!

Everybody, outside!

- Outside where he can

pick us off one by one?

- Shut up!

"The killer prepares to grant

mercy to only one of them."

Don't you get it? The killer says he's

outside because he wants us here inside.

- Which one is it?

- Come on!

"Who will survive? Is it Jennifer?

Tom? Angelina? Dewey? Gale?

- The killer will give mercy to--"

- Everyone outside!

He grants mercy to who?

I wanna know what happens!

- I wanna know what happens!

- Wait for the f***ing movie!

- I've gotta know! I'm goin' back in!

- No.

All right, everyone, back.

Stay together.

- What's it say?

- "And the...

killer will give mercy to...
