INT. - Southport hospital - Julie is getting off the elevator and sees Ray.
INT. - Barrys hospital room - the four former friends are all in there talking
about what just happened.
Barry -
No, for the fortieth fucking time I couldn't see his face.
Julie -
We have no choice here okay? Somebody tried to kill you last night, we have to
go to the police.
Barry -
No he wasn't trying to kill me last night, if he wanted me dead he could've done
it, he's just fucking with us.
Helen -
Who is?
Barry -
I don't know, some guy in a slicker.
Ray -
Well that narrows it down, this being a quaint little fishing village and all.
Barry -
Since you bring it up, we all know you have a slicker.
Ray -
You are not going to throw this on me.
Helen -
Come on you guys please don't do this.
Julie -
This isn't getting us anywhere.
Ray -
Look, maybe we should just come clean.
Barry -
No. No. We made a pact and we're keep it.
Julie -
Yeah but this is insane now Barry. Look at us, this secret's killing us.
Barry -
I'm not going to the police and you're not either.
Julie -
Barry please, we could put an end to it and maybe salvage some small fraction of
a life.
Barry -
And how do we do that? Huh? There was no accident Julie it was murder, your
words remember? Murder. I say we find the fuck who's doing this and have a
little one on one.
Ray -
What, like last night Bare?
Barry jumps to a sitting position in his bed.
Barry -
Fuck you man.
Helen -
No Barry's right, whosever doing this isn't going to the police, we could find this guy, talk to him.
Barry -
How do we find him?
Helen -
Well it's got to be a friend or a family member of the guy we hit. What was his
name??
Julie -
David Egan.
Helen -
Right...David Egan.
EXT. - Hospital --- Julie, Ray and Helen are walking through the hall ready to
leave and they are discussing what they should do.
Ray -
Look I don't think we should give up on Max, it could still be him.
Julie -
Then find him Ray, prove Barry wrong, that's what you want isn't it?
Ray -
No, no, what I want is for you and me to just...
Julie -
Listen to me Ray okay, I want you to get something, there is no you and me.
Julie takes off down the stairs instead of waiting for the elevator. Ray and Helen look at each other and Helen follows Julie.
INT. - Julie's house - Julie and Helen are looking up articles about David Egan
on the Internet.
Julie -
Okay I can access the local library online, I think we can cross-reference and
pull up all we need to know.
She finds what she is looking for and types in her query.
Julie -
Egan, David.
A bunch of articles pop up on the screen.
Helen -
All these articles are about David Egan?
Julie -
Yeah or at least mention him, it should pull up anything with his name.
Julie-
Wait, July 5th two years ago, what's this?
Julie starts reading one outloud.
Julie -
Susie Willis died of drowning, she was trapped in a car after it skidded out of
control on the reefs near Dawson's beach, the driver David Egan was unharmed.
Helen -
I remember that wreck two summers ago.
Julie (still reading) -
Susie was engaged to David, they were gonna be married. Wait a second, I remember he had her name tattooed on his arm, I saw it.
Julie pops up another article.
Julie -
Survived by his mother Claire and sister Melissa Egan of Marible County.
Helen -
They live in the sticks, what do you think?
Julie -
Whadda we got to lose??
EXT. - Marible County Road --- Julie and Helen are driving to the Egan house.
Helen is reading a map.
Helen -
Turn right.
Julie -
Where??
Helen -
Back there.
They back the car up to get to the road they are looking for and turn down it.
Helen -
What exactly is the plan? I mean are we just gonna ring the doorbell and say we
killed your son and we were in the neighborhood so...
Julie -
Look I thought we would scope it out then play it by ear.
Helen -
Don't you think we should have some sort of a plan? Angela Landsbury always had
a plan.
The car stops at a mailbox that has "Egan" written is bold letters.
EXT. - The Egan's driveway --- Julie and Helen are walking towards the house.
Helen -
What if they're waiting for us? What if they recognize us? They could have a gun
and shoot us dead.
Julie -
It's been a year Helen, they could have done that already.
Helen -
Yeah, Jodi Foster tried this and a skinner of a serial killer answered the door.
They get to the house and knock on the door twice and no one answers.
Helen -
Well it was a good try.
Julie is not satisfied, she walks around the side of the house and looks in a
window.
Helen -
Adding breaking and entering to our crime spree?
A woman's image appears in a old mirror that is sitting next to the house. The
woman is Missy Egan.
Missy -
Can I help you?
Julie -
Oh, hi, our car stalled down the road and we were just wondering if maybe we
could use your phone?
INT. - The Egan house ---
Missy -
Phone's over there.
Julie -
Oh thanks. Jody, will you call triple A?
Helen -
You got it, Angela.
Helen turns to go to the telephone and her face walks into a black fishing
slicker and she screams. Julie just laughs to not look suspicious. Helen
composes herself and goes to the phone.
Missy -
My name's Missy Egan. Are you girls from Mirable?
Julie -
No, Southport.
Missy -
Oh I went to Southport High.
Julie -
Yeah I knew you looked familiar, what year?
Missy -
Ah class of '88.
Julie -
Your name, Egan, it sounds very familiar, do you have a brother or something?
Missy -
I did but he was younger than me, David, younger.
Julie -
What class was he?
Missy -
Ah '92 but he's dead, he died last July.
Julie -
I'm so sorry.
Missy -
Thanks.
Julie -
Do you ah, do you live alone?
Missy -
Yeah, ah well my daddy died a long time ago and my mama she's in a home you know
in Aurora because she didn't take, take too well to what happened with David.
Things just haven't been the same since he died.
A long pause and then Helen walks over after her phone call.
Helen -
They're on their way.
Missy -
I could make you guys a cup of tea while you're waiting.
Helen -
Thanks.
Julie -
Yeah thanks, that's nice of you.
Missy smiles and walks into the kitchen. Helen and Julie are looking at pictures
of David and Missy in happier times.
Helen -
You know I think I remember David, he had a friend right? what was his name?
Missy (from the kitchen) -
Who?
Helen -
Didn't he hang out with this guy, I mean they were really close, god what was
his name.
Missy -
Oh, I don't know, I didn't know too many of David's friends
Helen -
Oh
Missy -
But there, there was one guy, one guy, he stopped by not too long after David's
death and and he came to pay his respects.
Julie -
Really??
Missy -
Oh, yeah he was a really nice guy, he was cute and smart. And well we were sweet
on each other for about two minutes, but it didn't work out you know. He never
really said it but I think it hurt him to be around me.
Helen -
Where is this old friend now?
Missy -
Oh I don't know.
Helen -
Do you remember his name?
Missy -
Billy.
Helen -
Did he have a last name?
Missy is looking up remembering her time with Billy Blue.
Missy -
Blue...Billy Blue
Julie -
Well you know what? We should probably wait back at the car.
Missy -
No don't be ridiculous, why don't... ah stay.
Julie -
No, I don't want to miss triple A.
Helen -
We appreciate the phone.
The begin to leave, Missy yells as they are leaving...
Missy -
Anytime you know, I don't get too many knocks on my door nowadays.
EXT.- Julie's Car --- They have just left Missy's house and Julie is upset.
Helen -
You okay?
Julie -
I wigged out I'm sorry. But being in his house and seeing his sister. God do you
see what we've done?
Helen -
It was an accident.
Julie -
Helen we killed a man and then ruined the lives of everyone he knew.
Helen -
I don't think we're that powerful Julie, You're giving us way too much credit.
Missy runs up along side of the car and pounds on the window making Julie and
Helen jump.
Missy -
Hey! You forgot your cigarettes.
Julie -
Thank you.
Missy -
Well I see you got this car started didn't ya?
Julie -
Yeah damndest thing, it started right up.
Missy -
Funny how that happens.
Julie drives away as Missy is still talking leaving Missy with a sinister look
on her face.
EXT. - Helen's house --- Julie and Helen are in the car still, Julie is dropping
Helen off.
Helen -
So what now?
Julie -
Now we try and locate this Billy Blue.
Helen -
Maybe he wanted to die.
Julie -
What?
Helen -
David Egan. His girlfriend was killed on that same road July 4th one year
earlier,. Maybe he blamed himself, maybe he was sitting in the road waiting for
us to hit him.
Julie -
Yeah if that'll help you sleep at night.
Helen -
What happened between us? We used to be best friends.
Julie -
We used to be a lot of things.
Helen -
I miss you.
No response from Julie. Helen sees that the feeling isn't mutual.
Helen -
Yeah. Well.
She gets out of the car and Julie drives away without saying a word.
INT. - Helen's house - Helen walks into the living room and sees her father
sitting watching TV.
Helen -
Hey Dad.
Her father is too wrapped up in the ball game to notice his daughter. She walks
into the kitchen and pours a glass of diet coke while the killer is sneaking in
the front door and working his way up the stairs. Helen finishes her drink and
goes up to her bedroom just in time to miss seeing who just went up before her.
She gets to her room but no one is there. She changes into her night clothes and
looks at the crown that she will have to give back the next day. Suddenly a hand
is moving towards her and touches her on the arm, she jumps and turns around,
it's Elsa.
Elsa -
Hey is the washed up, dried out, has-been having a moment?
Helen -
What do you want?
Elsa -
We're doing inventory at the store tomorrow and I need you there by ten.
Helen sits on her bed brushing her hair.
Helen -
I can't, I'm in the parade tomorrow.
Elsa -
Well dad put me in charge of the store and I want you there by ten.
Helen -
The outgoing queen has to ride in the parade prior to the pageant, it's
tradition, there's nothing I can do about it.
Elsa -
You and your hair, it's so pathetic.
Helen -
You can leave now.
Elsa -
So very pathetic...
she says while shutting the door. Helen gets in bed and shuts the lights out.
INT. - Helen's bedroom --- Helen is just waking up. She feels her crown on her
head and begins to take it off, bunches of her hair come off with it. She starts
to freak out and runs to the mirror and sees the word "SOON" written in bold
letters on it and she screams loudly and smashes the mirror.
INT. - Julie's house --- Julie picks up a ringing telephone.
Julie -
Hello?
short pause.
Julie -
Oh my god.
She runs out of the house and jumps in her car and takes off. In the car she
hears a noise coming from the back seat, there is nothing there, she stops the
car and opens the trunk and sees the rotting corpse of Max being eaten by crabs,
he is wearing Barry's jacket. She screams and slams the trunk thinking what to do and then takes off running.
INT. - Helen's bedroom --- Barry is comforting Helen after her hellish ordeal.
Julie runs in the room.
EXT. - Julie's car --- Barry, Helen and Julie are walking towards the car.
Barry -
Are you sure he was dead?
Julie -
Don't ask me that again, he was dead okay? I saw him with these... with these
crabs.
Julie passes the keys to Barry.
Julie -
You do it.
Barry opens the trunk and sees that it is empty and very clean looking. Julie is
upset.
Julie -
No don't, don't even, he was there god dammit and he was wearing your jacket
Barry.
Barry -
Where'd he go? Did the crabs carry him away?
Julie -
I swear to god.
Helen -
I believe you Julie.
Julie -
He took the body, he came and he took the body.
Barry -
Why would he do that?
Julie -
I don't know Barry okay? Why would he try to run you over? Why'd he make
coleslaw in Helen's head? He's fucking with us.
Barry -
Come on Julie let's go back to the house?
Julie -
Where's your jacket Barry? Don't you see? He's got us now, okay this is exactly
what he wants, we can't go to the police, not now, he's made sure of that. He's
just out there and he's watching us and waiting.
She turns and looks around and starts screaming...
Julie -
What are you waiting for huh? What are you waiting for????
EXT. - Helens house --- The three are walking towards the house and Ray is
walking towards them.
Julie -
What are you doing here?
Ray -
I've been looking everywhere for you guys.
Barry -
You're gonna die.
Barry walks up and punches Ray in the face with his fist which is still in a
cast.
Julie -
Hey, hey stop it.
Ray -
What are you doing?
Julie -
Stop it.
Ray -
I didn't do anything.
Barry -
You're fucking lying. He's lying.
Julie -
Leave him alone Barry, get a grip.
Barry -
No wake up Julie, he's behind this. How many fucked up fishermen are out there?
Ray -
Look, he's after me too. I got a letter.
Barry -
Oh you got a letter? I got run over. Helen gets her hair chopped off. Julie gets
a body in a trunk and you get a letter?? That's balanced?
Ray -
What body? What are you talking about?
Barry -
Drop the act. You killed Max, you took my jacket.
Ray -
Max is dead?
Barry -
What is it with you Ray? You were dogging us from the start weren't you? Always
wanting to be our friend, always wanting to be one of us but you were too
fucking jealous to handle it
Ray -
Fuck you!
Julie -
Stop it! Look, we have to stick together alright? We have to help each other.
Barry -
Okay so if it's not fisherboy here then who is it and how do we find him?
Julie -
We think his name is Billy Blue.
Ray -
How do you know that?
Helen -
Missy, said there was a friend named Billy Blue.
Julie -
Who probably went to school with David Egan so according to sis that would make
him class of '92.
Helen -
Elsa was class of '92. Maybe there's something in her yearbook.
INT. - Helen's bedroom --- They are all looking through the yearbook at David
Egan's picture.
Ray -
So that's him huh? Hard to believe that's the guy.
Barry -
Yeah his face isn't splattered all over the road dumbass. Maybe Blue's not his
real name.
Julie -
That's right, he could have easily lied to Missy, we did.
Helen -
Maybe we should bring the yearbook to Missy, if she had it in front of her...
Julie -
...She could point him out.
Ray -
I'm not going anywhere. High school mugshots, what???
Julie -
I'll go, you've got that parade today.
Helen -
Forget it.
Julie -
No you need to be there in case he shows up.
Helen -
I don't want him to show up.
Julie -
Helen this could be our chance, we could catch him. I'll go to Missy's, Barry you go to the parade with Helen and don't let her out of your sight, if he shows
up...
Barry -
I'll pound his ass.
Ray -
Listen to yourselves, you sound like a bunch of vigilanties.
Julie -
It's July 4th, Ray. Okay? This is his day. Whatever he's planned in going to
happen today unless we stop him.
Ray -
Come on Julie, don't you see? It's that moment where we have to make a decision,
let's make the right one this time.
Julie -
I'm not interested in what's right anymore Ray I wanna do what's smart.
Ray -
Then let's get the hell out of here, we can leave town, disappear.
Julie -
I've already disappeared, okay? Now I want my life back. Look we have to face
this, what's it gonna be Ray?
EXT. - The parade --- Helen is riding the float and Barry is sitting on the
side. Both of them are looking all over the place for the man in the slicker.
Helen sees a man in a black slicker and yells to Barry.
Helen -
Barry. Barry! Over there!
Barry looks over and sees the man in the slicker walking away. Barry chases him
screaming at people to move and get out of the way until he finally tackles the
man to the ground and removes the hat. It's an old man who looks like Barry has
given him a heart attack.
Barry -
Shit! Where the hell is he?
EXT. - Missy's house - Julie is just pulling into the driveway. she gets out and
knocks on the door.
Julie -
Missy???? Hello????
She starts to walk around the house to look for Missy when she sees Missy coming
at her with a knife.
Julie -
Please! Missy? Missy do you remember me from the other day? You know the car
trouble?
Missy -
What are you doing here?
EXT. - The parade --- Helen is on her float looking around trying to find Barry,
she looks up and sees a man standing on a building looking at her, he is wearing
a slicker and he pulls his big hook, it's the killer. Helen is scared.
EXT. - Missy's house --- Missy and Julie are talking out by an old shed. Missy is cutting up some rotten looking fish.
Julie -
Please we need to talk. I need to find your brothers friend Billy Blue,
I need to talk to him and I was thinking that maybe you could look through this
yearbook?
Missy -
Now what's this all about?
Julie -
Well it's too crazy to explain but it has to do with your brother and last July
4th.
Missy -
What about it?
Julie -
What happened to your brother wasn't an accident, there's more to it than that.
Missy -
I know.
Julie -
You know what?
Missy -
Well he killed himself.
Julie -
He what?
Missy -
Yeah he went up there to die that night that's where Susie died. See the whole
town blamed him for her death so he blamed himself.
Julie -
But how do you know it was a suicide?
Missy -
He left a note.
Missy walks over to the decaying tool shed and gets out the note.
Missy -
I had to keep this hidden from the insurance company cause they wouldn't pay me
the money if it was suicide. That don't much matter anymore cause the money's
been spent. That's it.
She passes the note to Julie which says "I WILL NEVER FORGET LAST SUMMER".
Julie -
This isn't a suicide note. This is a death threat.
Missy -
What are you... What are you talking about?
Julie -
Your brother didn't kill himself Missy, I saw him, I was there and whoever sent
this was there too.
Missy -
What do you mean you saw him? Where? Where did you see him?
Julie -
He was crossing the road, we hit him, it was an accident.
Missy -
No! My brother drowned.
Julie -
I saw him, he has Susie tattooed on his arm.
Missy -
Tattoo? He doesn't have a tattoo on his arm.
Julie -
I saw it on his right forearm. Missy is getting upset at what Julie is saying.
Missy -
You didn't see anything, get out of here. Get out of my house.
Missy puts the letter away and disappears.
Julie -
Oh my god, it wasn't your brother.
INT. - Croaker Queen stage --- The crew is setting the stage up getting ready
for the event. Barry and Helen are backstage, she is upset at having just seen
the killer. Barry is trying to comfort her.
Barry -
Stay calm. I'll be up in the balcony.
Helen -
He had a hook Barry. I saw it, it was a big huge hook.
Barry -
Everything's gonna be alright. I'm not gonna let anything happen to you.
Cut to --- A little while later --- The contest has started. Everyone is on
stage.
MC -
Very nicely done ladies. And now let's meet last years winner, Miss Helen
Shivers.
Helen walks out to a cheering crowd, she looks up in the balcony focusing on
Barry. A girl is very horribly singing a very horrible song. Helen laughs and
looks up at Barry who is also laughing. She looks back at the girl then back up
at Barry to see the killer coming up behind him and pulls him back. Helen goes
crazy, she starts screaming and running towards the balcony but the crowd is in
an uproar and she can't get through. A cop stops her. And the killer is slashing
Barry to death with his hook.
Helen -
HELP HIM. PLEASE. BARRY!!!
Cop -
Excuse me. What's the problem??
Helen -
Help him he's gonna kill him.
Cop -
Who's killing who?
Helen -
Up in the balcony.
Cop -
Okay everybody stay calm.
Helen -
Get off of me!
There is a lot of commotion going on and everyone is talking over each other.
Helen follows the cop up into the balcony.
Cop -
Maam stay behind me okay?
They look around but find no one or no trace that anyone had ever been there.
Cop -
There's nobody up here. I gotta tell ya, this is really not my idea of a funny
joke.
Helen -
He was here.
Cop -
Who? Who was here?
Helen -
The fisherman, he killed Barry.
Cop -
Barry who? Who are we talking about? There's nobody up here, come on let's go
back downstairs, come one, come on, there's nobody up here.
As they are walking downstairs they don't see the blood dripping from the edge of the balcony.
After the Croaker queen contest Helen is still sitting there looking at the
floor. Almost everyone has left, the cop comes up to her.
Cop -
Maam, I'm gonna take you home, your parents are really worried about you.
Helen -
You have to believe me.
Cop -
Why don't you let me take you home okay?
She gets up to leave with him and the MC grabs at her crown.
MC -
Excuse me, we'll be needing this.
INT. - Julie's house --- Julie is on her computer looking for articles on Susie
Willis.
EXT. - Police car --- Cop is driving Helen home.
Cop -
So then he killed him with a fish hook?
Helen -
Yes.
Cop -
Did this fisherman guy use the same hook to cut all your hair off?
Helen -
No, he used scissors asshole. Look, okay I know I sound delusional but it's
true.
Cop -
Yeah I've heard this story before except the way I heard it, it wasn't a
fisherman, it was an escaped mental patient and he had a hook for a hand. We're
gonna have to take the alley.
Helen -
Look, you little shitstick mayberry ass reject, there's been a murder and you're
gonna fry in hell if you ignore it.
Cop -
Alright, I'll tell you what I'll do, okay I'll contact Barry's parents and put
out a search for him alright? He was probably just playing a prank on you.
The cop sees a man standing under the hood of his car.
Cop -
Oh jesus, listen I'm just gonna be a minute alright, I'm gonna see if this guy
needs help.
He gets out of the car and walks over to the man. Helen can tell who it is.
Helen -
That's him.
Cop -
What's the trouble?
Helen starts yelling to the cop.
Helen -
That's him, behind you, BEHIND YOU!
The cops turns back to the man who then sticks his hook in the cops stomach,
bloods runs from the cops mouth. Helen screams, she tries to get out but she is
in the back which is locked from the outside, the killer starts coming towards
the car, she kicks the glass out of the window and crawls out and starts
running, he is following her.
INT. - Julie's House --- Julie is still looking at articles about Susie Willis on the Internet. She is reading outloud.
Julie -
Susie Willis killed, trapped in car, driver unharmed, survived by her father,
Benjamin, a local fisherman.
With that, Julie runs out the door.
EXT. - On the streets --- the killer is still chasing Helen, she see the store
that her family owns, Elsa is inside closing up for the night. Helen runs
towards the store screaming for Elsa.
Helen -
ELSA, ELSA, OPEN THE DOOR, ELSA, OPEN THE DOOR, PLEASE, JESUS CHRIST HURRY.
Elsa is slow in getting to the door, she finishes putting plastic over some
items and then goes to get the keys.
Helen -
ELSA WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ELSA, PLEASE, OPEN THE DOOR, JESUS CHRIST NOW!
Elsa -
I'm coming
Helen -
ELSA, ELSA, PLEASE.
Elsa finally opens the door, Helen runs in and slams the door behind her.
Elsa -
You could have walked around the Arch Tree entrance it's open.
Helen -
I'm being attacked.
Elsa -
You're what? They look outside and see no one.
Helen -
Lock the other door, I'll call the police.
Elsa -
What is going on?
Helen -
Just do what I say god dammit.
Helen runs upstairs to use the phone, Elsa goes to the back entrance to lock the
door. The door is swinging shut just before she walks in, she begins to lock it
when she sees a reflection in the door, she turns around to see the man in a
slicker standing looking at her with his face covered, she can't move or speak.
His reflection passes through her glasses and she screams as the large hook
slashes her throat. Helen hears the scream and hangs up the phone slowly moving
down the stairs.
Helen -
Elsa? Elsa? Elsa where are you?
No response, she gets paranoid and turns around looking closely at a mannequin
that is covered in plastic, it is very silent then all of the sudden he jumps
out from under the plastic and tackles her to the ground, she escapes and runs
up the stairs, she passes by the bathroom and sees Elsa dead laying on the
floor, she screams and keeps running and hops onto an old hand operated
elevator, the killer is following her, she gets on the elevator and starts
pulling the rope, he can't get on it but he swings his hook at her legs, she
finally gets up to the attic and the killer has used the stairs and is also up
there, she runs over to the edge of a window, he comes for her, she jumps out
landing in a dumpster full of wood and other garbage. In a daze she looks up to
the window and sees the killer is gone. She takes off running down the street,
through alleys to try and find someone who can help her, fireworks go off and
she sees that the parade is still going on, she runs towards them and hears a
noise, she turns around and there is nothing, she turns back towards the parade,
the killer is standing behind her, he grabs her and throws her into a stack of
tires and he slashes her to death.
EXT. - On the streets --- Julie is looking for her friends and sees the boat Ray
works on, she runs towards the boat.
Julie -
Ray? Ray ? Ray?
Rays head pops up from below the boat.
Ray-
Julie, what are you doing here?
Julie -
We didn't kill David Egan, it was someone else on the road that night.
Ray -
What are you talking about?
Julie -
I think it was Susie's father, Ben Willis, he's a fisherman.
Ray -
But they found David's body in the water.
Julie -
Yeah I know but I think Ben Willis killed David Egan.
Ray -
Wait a second. You think this Willis guy killed David then we killed him?
Julie -
Yeah but what if he didn't die Ray? What if he's still alive?
Ray -
This is crazy. Come aboard. Come inside.
Julie -
No we've gotta find Helen and Barry.
Ray -
We will, we will.
He holds out his hand and she reaches for it and sees the name of his boat is
"Billy Blue". She pulls her hand back.
Julie -
You. Oh my god it's you.
Ray -
What are you talking about?
Julie -
Billy Blue. You went to Missy's, your, your the friend, your the fisherman.
She runs faster than she has ever ran in her life, Ray yells behind her.
Ray -
I can explain...Julie wait, Julie.
He is running in back of her, she runs into a locked door.
Julie -
Shit.
Ray -
Wait.
Julie -
Stop it.
He keeps chasing her when all of the sudden an man sticks his arm out sending
Ray to the ground. Julie screams.
Julie -
Oh, oh please help me please.
Man -
Easy child.
Julie -
Please I need to call the police.
Ray starts to get up.
Man -
On the boat, inside, hurry.
She runs onto the boat, the man leaves Ray on the ground and walks onto the boat
too, he removes the anchor. Julie looks around and sees pictures of herself and
her three friends all over the place. The man walks in.
Man -
You in some kind of trouble child?
Julie -
Yes, yeah I'm in a lot of trouble.
The man flips a silver medallion that says "I Love You".
Man -
That's a shame, being it's fourth of July and all. Kids like you should be out
having fun, drinking, partying, running people over, getting away with murder,
things like that.
A shocked look comes over Julie's face, what is going on?
Julie -
You? Ben Willis?
Man -
Good, I see you've been doing your homework too.
She runs out the door looking for somewhere to go. He follows her back and forth
playing cat and mouse. Ray has gotten up, he is looking at the boat that has
started drifting from shore. Julie finds a gun used to signal for help in case
of emergency, he is steering the boat now and jives it sending the signal gun
over the edge. They have a state-down then he comes after her. She crawls down a
cubbyhole below deck that is covered by a mesh grate, she pulls down on it from
below as he is trying to pull it open with his hook. Ray is now climbing over
the side of the boat and comes face to face with Ben.
Ben -
Welcome aboard Ray.
He moves his hook through the air taunting Ray with it then starts swinging it
at him. Julie is below deck still looking for a way to get out, she climbs up a
ladder and sees Ben and Ray fighting, she screams to Ray, he turns his head and
Ben hits him with his hook which sends him flying off the boat into the water,
he is dragging along underwater holding onto a net. Julie runs down below again,
Ben is following her, she shuts the door and blocks it with a oil drum.
Ben -
Open the door Julie. You got no place to hide
She is looking for somewhere to go, she opens up a shut door, it is hard to open
so she uses her shirt, she gets it open and ice spills out, she crawls in and
starts pushing more ice down so Ben can't get in. She breaks apart a crate
filled with ice, the body of Helen comes falling down with the ice, Julie
screams and moves over and feels something, she moves her hand and Barry's frozen face and underneath of it, she screams again. Ray has made his way back onto the boat. Ben opens a trap door and he is looking down at Julie who screams in terror. Ray is watching what Ben does, waiting for the right moment to pounce. Ray then swings down a big hook attached to a rope which hits Ben in the face throwing him to the ground. Ray runs over and looks down at Julie. Julie screams expecting it to be Ben.
Ray -
Come on Julie.
Julie -
Ray.
He sticks his hand out and pulls her out of the ice pit. Ben jumps up, Julie
screams, Ben knocks Ray to the ground.
Ben -
Happy fourth of July, Julie.
Julie -
Please, it was an accident.
Ben -
I know all about accidents and let me give you some advice, when you leave a man
for dead, make sure he's really dead.
He then sticks his hand up in the air which is holding the hook, he is ready to
slash Julie with it when all of the sudden his hand gets caught in a rope, Ray
sees this and hits something which pulls Ben up into the air and hand gets
chopped off in the pulley, he falls halfway down again and the rope catches which then sends him flying off into the cold ocean.
EXT. - Wharf --- Julie and Ray and a bunch of police and doctors are around. Ray
and Julie are hugging. The ordeal is over.
Julie -
We never killed anyone, this whole year was fake.
Ray -
I know. The guilt was killing me, I had to know who he was, that's why I went to
see Missy. I'm sorry I didn't tell you but I wanted you back, I couldn't lose
you again. I love you Julie. No one gets me the way you do.
Julie -
I understand your pain.
The sheriff walks over.
Sheriff -
Do you have any idea why this man would want you dead?
Julie and Ray -
None.
They have dragged the ocean and are pulling up what they have found.
Operator -
Here it comes.
All that is in the net is Ben's hand with the hook still in it.
Sheriff -
Ah don't worry, the body will turn up, they usually do.
ONE YEAR LATER
EXT. - Julies College --- People are walking around outside.
INT. - Womens locker room --- Julie is on the phone with Ray.
Julie -
Yeah well I made the Dean's List. Thank you very much. I know I miss you too but
I'm going to see you in a couple weeks, god I can not wait, I love New York. No
of course I love you more....Yes I do, I love you and you know that but you know
what? I've got to take a shower or I'm gonna be late.
Julie's roommate Deb is outside the showers.
Deb -
Hey Julie you got some mail.
Julie -
Oh thanks Deb.
Back to the phone
Julie -
...A towel. Ray don't you start with me, you mister can ravage me in two weeks.
Yes I love you too. Okay bye.
She hangs up the phone and goes out to get her mail, a look of terror crosses
her face, a plain envelope with her name written on it in bold letters. She
looks around then opens the letter that says "KBR POOL PARTY" She smiles and
goes back to the showers, walking through the steam she sees written on the
shower door "I STILL KNOW". She looks around and sees nothing, she turns back to
the shower door and something black jumps out at her. THE END
