Friday the 13th, Part 6: Jason Lives

heads for the lit counselor's cabin.

SHERIFF

Anything that don't belong. And

don't wake the kids.

WIDE ON SCENE

The two officers take out their flashlights. They spread out

and scan the area. The RAGING wind causes everything to

WHISTLE and move.

CUT TO:

INT. COUNSELOR'S CABIN

ANGLE ON CLOSED DOOR

KNOCKING is HEARD on it.

SHERIFF

Girls? It's Sheriff Garris.

Slowly he opens the door and sticks his head in.

PRESS IN SHOCKINGLY - ON HIS FACE

He is horrified!

The entire room is SPLATTERED WITH BLOOD. It drips from the

ceiling and streaks down the walls.

BACK TO SHERIFF

Quickly, he bolts out of the room.

EXT. CAMP FOREST GREEN

The sheriff races down the steps and heads for the children's

dormitories.

CUT TO:

EXT. LAKE FOREST GREEN - BOAT LANDING - NIGHT

Officer Thornton's flashlight scans the two boats along the

small dock. Nothing unusual here.

ANGLE ON SHADOWED WOODS

Although we can't see anyone in the WIND-RUSTLED bushes, we

sense Jason is watching the lone cop.

TIGHT ON JASON'S COMMANDO BELT

His hand withdraws a long, razor-sharp devil dart.

ANGLE ON OFFICER

With his back to us, the unsuspecting cop concludes his

search of the landing and turns around. His flashlight now

focuses on the woods before him.

PAN ACROSS SHADOWED WOODS

We FOLLOW the flashlight beam as it surveys the windswept

area. JASON IS ILLUMINATED! He raises up the sinister dart.

TIGHT ON OFFICER

Recognizing a weapon in this prowler's hand, he goes for his

revolver.

CLOSE ON JASON'S ARM

With supernatural strength, he throws the deadly projectile

at us.

ANGLE ON OFFICER

Before he can pull his gun, THE DEVIL IMPALES ITSELF DEEP

INTO HIS FOREHEAD. The force of it sends him reeling back.

THE TARP-COVERED BOAT

Officer Thornton's body falls into it. His lifeless eyes

stare up at the sky. The dart extends from his third eye.

CUT TO:

INT. BOY'S DORMITORY CABIN

SHERIFF'S P.O.V.

A row of sleeping boys stacking Z's in their cots.

ANGLE ON SHERIFF

Standing in the doorway, the sheriff quietly closes the door.

EXT. CAMP FOREST GREEN - NIGHT

The panicked sheriff now rushes across to the girls' dorm.

INT. GIRL'S DORMITORY CABIN

As silently as possible, he opens the door and peeks it. He

carefully surveys all the slumbering occupants. The sheriff

suddenly registers alarm.

SHERIFF'S P.O.V.

All the girls are nestled contentedly in their beds...except

one. The covers have been kicked off and her pillow lies on

the floor. Little Nancy is missing.

CUT TO:

EXT. FOREST ROAD - NIGHT

The orange speed-demon Camaro rockets past us.

INT. MEGAN'S CAR

Megan, sitting shotgun, stares open-mouthed at Tommy.

MEGAN

(sarcastically)

Let me know when you're about to

blast into hyperspace. I'll

fasten my seat belt.

TOMMY

drives like a man possessed.

TOMMY

I got a bad feeling we're already

too late.

Megan glances back at the large sack in the rear seat. She

reaches over and looks in at his supplies doubtfully.

MEGAN

Are you sure this is gonna work?

I mean, why didn't we bring that

gun and just blast him away?

ANGLE ON BOTH

TOMMY

It probably wouldn't have any

effect on him. The only sure way

to stop Jason is to return him to

his original resting place, where

he drowned in 1957.

MEGAN

Lake Forest Green?

TOMMY

(nods, then corrects her)

Crystal Lake...where the nightmare

began.

CUT TO:

EXT. LAKE FOREST GREEN - NIGHT

The infamous lake is churning in the moonlight. RACK FOCUS

as Officer Pappas steps before us. It's apparent that he's

getting tired of searching for God-knows-what.

TRACK WITH OFFICER

His flashlight scans the windblown, vibrating bushes.

Suddenly, FOOTSTEPS are HEARD on the other side of the bushes.

ANGLE ON OFFICER

He stops abruptly and strains to listen. Tentatively, he

creeps toward the bushes.

OFFICER'S P.O.V.

We HEAD toward whatever is hiding behind the trembling

shrubbery.

ANOTHER ANGLE - ON OFFICER PAPPAS

Reaching the brushes, he calls out:

OFFICER PAPPAS

Alright, come out of there!

ANGLE ON BUSHES

No reply.

BACK ON OFFICER

He draws his revolver and aims it. He knows someone's there.

OFFICER PAPPAS

I'm askin' you one more time

...come out of there!

Still no response.

MOVING SHOT - FOLLOWING OFFICER

With his gun held before him, the nervous officer goes for a

closer look.

TIGHT ON HIS FACE

Tension builds as he comes closer.

RESUME ON MOVING SHOT - FOLLOWING HIM

He is almost to the bushes. WITHOUT WARNING, SOMEONE DIVES

BEFORE US AND ATTACKS HIS LEG. He gasps aloud.

ANGLE ON OFFICER AND NANCY

The frightened child holds on to Pappas for dear life. He

catches his breath, then crouches down next to her.

OFFICER PAPPAS

(kindly)

Hey, hey, what are you doing

running around out here? Now you

get back to bed.

She squeezes his leg even tighter.

NANCY

(terrified)

No. There's a scary man.

The good-looking officer smiles with amusement.

OFFICER PAPPAS

What scary man?

JASON EXPLODES OUT OF THE BUSHES.

NANCY RUNS SHRIEKING TOWARD THE CAMP.

OFFICER PAPPAS OPENS FIRE ON JASON.

THE BULLETS PENETRATE HIS CHEST, BUT HE KEEPS COMING.

ANGLE ON OFFICER

Suddenly Jason is before him. His powerful hand reaches out

and grabs the officer's SCREAMING face.

TIGHT ON OFFICER'S FACE

JASON'S FINGERS DIG IN TO THE COP'S SKIN. HE YANKS DOWN,

LITERALLY RIPPING THE SKIN OFF HIS SKULL.

A BLOODY GRINNING SKULL STARES AT US FOR A MOMENT, THEN DROPS

FROM VIEW.

CUT TO:

EXT. CAMP FOREST GREEN - NIGHT

THE SHERIFF'S CAR DOOR

is thrown open. The sheriff reaches in and quickly pulls out

his shotgun.

WIDER

Leaving the door open, he sprints across the camp towards the

gunshots.

MOVING SHOT - ON SHERIFF

As he rounds the corner of a cabin, Nancy comes SCREECHING

toward him. He catches the child and attempts to comfort her.

SHERIFF

Hold on. Take it easy. I got

you. Everything is fine.

ANGLE ON SHERIFF AND NANCY

As he hugs her, he looks up at the boys' dormitory cabin.

SHERIFF'S P.O.V.

All the children are pressed against the windows, staring

down terrified.

WIDER

Quickly, the sheriff picks Nancy up and heads for the cabin.

INT. BOY'S DORMITORY CABIN

Sheriff Garris bursts into the cabin. All the girls have

gathered in the boys' cabin for safety. He puts little Nancy

down and addresses the petrified youngsters.

SHERIFF

Kids, listen to me very carefully.

I want everyone to lie down on the

floor and stay there. Do not get

up until I come back. Now hurry.

VARIOUS SHOTS OF KIDS HITTING THE FLOOR

Some cover their heads, others crawl under the cots.

INT. CAMP FOREST GREEN - NIGHT

The sheriff runs out of the children's cabin, securing the

door behind him.

TIGHT ON SHOTGUN IN HIS HANDS

He pumps the weapon as he walks.

ANGLE UP - ON SHERIFF - DOLLYING BACK

With stern vigilance, he storms toward his objective.

SHERIFF GARRIS

arrives in the area behind the cabins near the lake. There

is no one to be found. The savage wind whips the trees and

bushes, causing the sheriff to twitch at every movement.

ANOTHER ANGLE

Slowly, he turns and heads into the shadowed area between the

cabins.

MOVING SHOT - ON SHERIFF

With the shotgun held before him, he walks tensely through

this dark passage.

TIGHT ON HIS FACE

The sheriff's eyes dart nervously, straining to see in the

near blackness. Suddenly, he trips and falls from view.

ANGLE ON SHERIFF FALLING

Rapidly, we TILT DOWN as he slams down on Officer Pappas'

corpse.

THE SHERIFF'S FACE LANDS PRESSED AGAINST THE GROTESQUE BLOODY

SKULL. Horribly repulsed, he scrambles to his feet.

THE SHERIFF

stands up, turns, and JASON IS WAITING RIGHT THERE.

WIDER

Quickly, he backs away from this masked spectre of evil.

Then they both stands motionless for a long time, sizing each

other up.
