- whoever--"

- Whoever?

Whoever?

Piece of sh*t.

"Whoever--

Whoever smells the--"

I can't stop

rolling down the hill!

Gale!Jennifer!

- Dewey!

- Dewey!

Dewey, where are you?

Over here, Dewey!

- Dewey!

- Gale!

Gale, behind you!

Dewey!

Are you all right?

Yeah, never been better.

Yeah, I'm all right.

Where'd he go?

- He must've rolled under the car.

- All right, stay close.

Is he back there?

- No.

- No?

He's fast.

Could've sworn I hit him.

- Are you all right?

- Yeah.

Thanks for saving me.

Ah, it's habit.

Oh, God.

What the f*** happened to you?

-Jennifer, wait a minute.

- Who gave you a place to stay?

-Who are you supposed to be protecting?

-Jennifer!

Hey!

My lawyer liked that.

Not as much as I did.

- Angelina?

- Tom was in the house.

- How'd you end up way over there?

- Oh, my God! Tom was in the house!

- Are we safe?

- Safe from who?

Wait a second!

Another picture.

Whoever it is is now taking credit

for Maureen Prescott's murder.

But we know who killed Maureen

Prescott. Billy Loomis and Stu Macher.

-I mean, they even told Sidney

how they did it.

- Yeah, but if I'm not mistaken...

you said in your book that

Sidney got it wrong once before.

She accused Cotton Weary

of murdering her mother.

And he was sent away for it.

Maybe there is a third killer.

Sidney might know something.

I told you.

I don't know where Sidney is.

And even if there was a third killer,

Sidney doesn't know about it.

That is for me to decide.

I need to talk to her, Mr. Riley.

She is a key element in this case.

I have a press conference in an hour.

I need to explain...

why there are three dead celebrities

and a bodyguard.

And a very angry mayor.

Okay, look, we all know this has

something to do with Stab 3.

But what we do not know is why

the killer keeps leaving pictures...

of Maureen Prescott

taken over 25 years ago.

And the photographs taken at the same

studio Stab 3 is shooting out of.

What does this

have to do with Sid?

Who knows more about Maureen

Prescott than her own daughter?

Well, Sid's dad couldn't help you,

and he was married to Maureen.

What's your problem?

Last night you were almost charcoal.

You gonna help us or what?

Do you wanna have this

conversation with a polygraph?

- Is that a threat, Detective?

- When it's a threat, you'll know it.

- Was that a threat?

- Boys, boys.

Why don't we compare

our gun calibres later?

- The issue is Maureen Prescott.

- Wrong. The issue is Sidney Prescott.

And either Mr Riley is going

to obstructjustice or he's going

to put me in touch with her.

So, where is she?

Hi, you've reached the machine.

You can leave a message.

Talk as long as you want.

Sid, it's me.

This is the fifth time I've called.

Please pick up.

I wanna make sure you're...

okay.

- Sid!

- Dewey!

What are you doing down here?

Actually, what was I doing up there?

-Jesus, Dewey. Are you okay?

- Oh, yeah, I'm all right.

- Is she all right?

- Hey, you know Gale.

It'd take a direct hit.

So the news said this was the precinct.

Who's this guy Kincaid?

Come here.

I told you to stay hidden.

- It's not safe for you to be here.

- The killer called me.

- What?

- Yeah, he found me.

I'm no more safe there than I am here,

and at least here I'm not alone.

Okay, come on.

- Detective Kincaid?

- Yeah.

There's someone here

who wants to help.

Oh, my God.

Sidney.

Is the man fast or what?

- Hi.

- Hi, Gale.

- I'm glad you're all right.

- Thank you.

- Sid, this is Detective Kincaid.

- Nice to finally meet you, Sidney.

- The killer called her.

- What? When?

- What did he say?

- Oh, you know, the usual small talk.

What's new? How you been?

How do you wanna die?

Sidney, do you have any idea

how he could've gotten your number?

He could have monitored her calls on a

scanner. Did you call her from the set?

- No.

- Do you have her number

stored in your memory?

- Phone memory!

- Oh. Yeah, guess I do.

- Has anyone else ever used your phone?

-Just Jennifer.

And you.

Hey, I'm the cop here.

You're in my office, Riley.

The killer leaves a photograph

after each murder, Sidney.

They were taken in Hollywood at the same

studio that they're shooting Stab 3.

Why didn't you tell me?

This is my mother, Dewey.

- Why didn't you say something?

- I was afraid they were bait.

Something to, you know,

trick you out of hiding.

Sidney, was she an actress or a model?

Because they look a lot

like publicity stills.

I, uh, don't know.

Detective, I wanna see

this place in the pictures.

- Are you sure?

- Absolutely.

- Slow it down.

- Sorry.

Watch the f***in' aliens.

I'm gonna go talk to

the studio brass about those photos.

Yeah, right.

I know where you're goin'.

- Yeah, keep an eye on Sidney.

- I know where you're goin'.

You're gonna get her some flowers

and candy, huh? Huh?

- Gimme a break.

- Yeah, gimme a call.

Just keep your eye on her.

That stairwell over there, that's

where one of the pictures was taken.

God. I can't believe

she never mentioned any of this.

- She probably just--

- Dewey!

- Sorry.

- Martha!

- Oh, my God, Sid.

- Hey, hold it right there! Hey!

- Don't shoot!

- I'm only 17.

- It's okay. We know her.

We do?

Tell me that's his ex-girlfriend,

I'll shoot myself.

- It's Martha Meeks, Randy's sister.

- Randy's sister?

- Yeah, can't you tell?

- We miss you in Woodsboro, guys.

- Martha, what are you doing here?

- There's something you guys should see.

Told ya I'd make

a movie someday. Huh?

- Oh, my God.

- Well, if you're watching this tape...

it means, as I feared, I did not

survive these killings...

here at Windsor College,

and that giving up my virginity...

to Karen Kolchakat the video store

was probably not a good idea.

- Karen Kolchak?

- Yes, Karen Kolchak.

- "Creepy Karen"?

- Shut up! She's a sweet person, okay?

We were workin'late. We were puttin'

away some videos in the porno section...

and, you know, sh*t happens.

- Open the door, Randy!

- Fifteen minutes.

- It's my room too!

- Paul,15 minutes.

I'm leaving my legacy.

Fifteen minutes, Paul!

Damn! Anyway...

the reason I'm here is to help you so

that my death will not be in vain.

That my life's work will help save some

other poor soul from getting mutilated.

If this killer does come back

and he's for real...

there are a few things

that you gotta remember.

Is this simply another sequel?

Well, if it is, same rules apply.

But here's the critical thing.

If you find yourself dealing...

with an unexpected back-story

and ap reponderance...

of exposition,

then the sequel rules do not apply.

Because you're not dealing with

the sequel. You are dealing with...

the concluding chapter

of a trilogy.

- Trilogy.

- That's right. It's

a rarity in the horror field...

but it does exist, and it is

a force to be reckoned with.

Because true trilogies are all about

going back to the beginning...

and discovering something

that wasn 't true from the get-go.
