Friday the 13th, Part 6: Jason Lives

She starts to back up. Darren looks behind him, then grabs

the wheel.

DARREN

Wait!

THE CAR TIRE

almost rolls off the narrow road into a water-filled gully.

ANGLE ON DARREN

He stares intensely at Lizbeth.

DARREN

There's no way we can do this...

(he looks at Jason)

...If the car drops into that

gully, we'll never get it out.

JASON

just stands his ground. He ain't backin' down.

LIZBETH

keeps her eye on the evil-looking stranger.

LIZBETH

Do you have any alternate

suggestions?

ANGLE ON DARREN AND LIZBETH

He bites his lip nervously.

DARREN

Yeah... We're gonna scare him.

LIZBETH

(taken aback)

We're gonna scare him?!

Darren attempts to pump up a macho attitude.

DARREN

That's right. Just drive toward

him. He'll move. Nobody wants to

die.

LIZBETH

(staring at Darren)

That's a freakin' fact. Least of

all us.

DARREN

Just drive. He'll get out of our

way.

ANGLE ON LIZBETH

She shakes her head, not believing she's actually going to do

this.

INSERT - ACCELERATOR

Her foot stomps it down.

THROUGH WINDSHIELD

We race toward Jason, who doesn't budge.

INSERT - BRAKE

Her foot slams on the brakes.

LOW ANGLE - ON HEADLIGHT

The car skids to a stop, inches from the stock-still killer.

LIZBETH

turns to her now-less-than-confident boyfriend.

LIZBETH

(sarcastically)

Yeah, that really scared the shit

out of him.

ANGLE ON DARREN

He gets pissed. He leans over and BLASTS the HORN.

LOW ANGLE - ON JASON

Jason gets pissed too. He swings the spear and SMASHES OUT

a headlight.

BACK TO COUPLE

DARREN

(shocked)

Oh, jeez.

LIZBETH

(starting to shift)

That's it. We're driving this

baby back to town... in reverse.

Darren, now angered, grabs her hand as she starts to shift.

DARREN

The hell we are.

ANGLE ON GLOVE COMPARTMENT

Darren opens it and pulls out a .22 revolver.

LIZBETH

stares at the gun, then at Darren, in shock.

LIZBETH

Where'd you get that?

Darren gets out of the car. He's scared shitless, but tries

not to show it.

DARREN

Don't worry about it. Just stay

cool.

LIZBETH

(trying to maintain)

Stay cool? You ain't Dirty Harry.

Now stop it.

JASON

watches Darren's every move.

DOLLY BACK ON DARREN TO JASON

With great apprehension he heads toward Jason, holding the

gun out with both hands. He clears his nervous throat.

DARREN

All right, scumbag. Get out of

the road.

From over Jason's shoulder we see Darren cock the trigger and

aim.

DARREN

Now!

Instantly Jason rams the spear into the other headlight! He

is now a very dark figure in front of the car.

LIZBETH

screams, and shouts at her boyfriend.

LIZBETH

Darren, get in here right now!

He'll kill you!

ANGLE ON DARREN

He gets a bit cocky, knowing he's the one with the gun. He

glances back at his girl.

DARREN

(loudly)

Not if I get him first.

JASON

suddenly CHARGES him!

ANGLE ON DARREN AND JASON

Darren fires. But the bullet either misses or it just

doesn't affect Jason. He thrusts the spear forward.

THE SPEAR

drives right through Darren's stomach and out his back!

PRESS IN ON LIZBETH

She goes hysterical.

LOW ANGLE - ON JASON

Effortlessly, he lifts up the impaled boy and tosses his limp

body aside. Jason then turns his murderous gaze on Lizbeth.

THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD

Lizbeth gasps. Quickly, she tries to drive away. Seeing

something coming, she dives across the other seat. JASON'S

SPEAR SMASHES THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AND IMPALES ITSELF INTO

THE DRIVER'S SEAT.

ANGLE ON LIZBETH

The terrified girl crawls out of the open passenger door.

She falls into the muddy and water-filled gully alongside the

road.

MOVING SHOT - ON JASON

He withdraws his weapon from the car and heads for his victim.

LIZBETH

struggles to stand. She slips, badly twisting or breaking

her ankle. Looking back quickly, she is horrified.

HER P.O.V. - ON JASON

with spear poised, he's coming!

TIGHT ON LIZBETH

Knowing it's hopeless to run, she tries a last-ditch effort

to barter for her life. Lying in the muddy water, Lizbeth

digs into her jacket. She pulls out her wallet and removes

her money and credit cards.

LIZBETH

(crying)

Don't kill me, please. You can

have these.

She looks up and offers her valuables.

LIZBETH'S P.O.V.

Jason is gone.

BACK TO LIZBETH

She is amazed. Where did he go? What's the difference --

she's safe. WRONG. As she looks behind her, JASON'S FEET

SLAM DOWN IN THE WATER NEXT TO HER HEAD. She opens her mouth

to scream.

LOW ANGLE - UP ON JASON

He raises the spear and RAMS IT DOWN TOWARD HER FACE! A

spine-chilling CRUNCH is HEARD.

WIDER

Jason stands over his victim... Her body floats on the filthy

water, but her head is drive down underneath. BLOOD begins

to bubble up around the extended spear.

CLOSE ON HER HAND

A lifeless hand releases the money and credit cards it was

clutching.

We follow the floating American Express card along the now-

bloody stream... Remember, don't leave home without it.

CUT TO:

INT. SHERIFF'S OFFICE - DAY

Tommy is asleep on the cot in his cell. Suddenly the LOUD

SOUNDS of the DOOR OPENING and YOUNG VOICES startle him awake.

MOVING SHOT - ON GROUP

Entering from the bright sunshine are the sheriff and four

kids in their late teens. Teasing, holding on to the arm of

her sheriff father, is MEGAN. She is a cute and feisty 18-

year-old. Her three friends, PAULA, a warm and personable

girl with a short new-wave haircut; SISSY is black, sexy and

very boy-crazy; and CORT, with his long hair and heavy metal

T-shirt, is always ready to rock.

MEGAN

(to sheriff)

Come on, Dad. You could have Rick

drive down Cunningham Road and

look for them.

SHERIFF

Megan, my deputies have more

important things to do than look

for camp counselors with car

trouble.

CORT

Sheriff, couldn't you like put our

an all-points bulletin for them?

That would be really wicked decent.

The sheriff shoots him a look.

PAULA

It's just that Darren and Lizbeth

are in charge of organizing and

setting up the new campgrounds.

SISSY

All the little kids arrive today.

We're not ready to deal with that

alone.

ANGLE ON SHERIFF

He sits down behind his desk and picks up the phone.

SHERIFF

I sympathize with you kids. The

best I can do is call the station

in Carpenter and have them keep a

lookout for them.

TOMMY (O.S.)

I got a bad feeling of what

might've happened to them.

Everyone turns to look.

TOMMY

is gripping the cell's bars. His eyes connect with Megan.

TOMMY

You've got to convince the sheriff

to look for your friends.

Hopefully, they're fine. But

there's a very good chance that

Jason...

THE SHERIFF

jumps up angrily.

SHERIFF

Shut up.
