H20
He punches the button, then pops it off and puts it in his
pocket... he darts for the front entrance.
CLANG-CLANG-CLANG!
The gymnasium floor begins to move beneath the students'
feet, splits right down the middle... retracts into the
walls...
The students part like the Red Sea, hooting and hollering as
the pool beneath them is revealed.
EXT. GYMNASIUM
The freshman flies out of the gym, slams the doors shut
behind him... his schoolmate chains the doors, locks them
with a padlock. They dart for the woods, passing...
MOLLY
stumbles towards them, her pants bloodied. She SCREAMS,
tries to get their attention... they disappear into the
thicket.
She moves to the rear of the gymnasium, bangs on the chained
doors... SCREAMS for help, looks over her shoulder to see...
THE SHAPE
headed straight for her. She hobbles to the front entrance,
bangs on the door...
MOLLY
Let me in! Oh, God, help me!
Somebody... goddamnit!
The SHAPE closes in.
INT. GYMNASIUM - SAME TIME
Molly's screams are lost amongst the gleeful SQUEALS of the
party goers.
The floor continues to glide open beneath their feet,
revealing...
SARAH
floating, face down in the pool... water tainted bright red
with her blood, illuminated by the pool light.
The mood suddenly changes... the SCREAMS of excitement
quickly turn into SHRIEKS of horror. Bedlam ensues...
Frightened students scramble toward the entrance, knocking
party goers into the pool... trampling over others.
AT THE ENTRANCE
Students stack up against the doors, pounding furiously...
trying to get out.
WILL
tries to calm the petrified party-goers...
INT. HEADMASTER'S OFFICE - SAME TIME
Keri sits behind her desk, Detective Blake's BUSINESS CARD in
hand...
She picks up the phone, brings it to her ear...
NO DIAL TONE.
She jiggles the receiver... STILL NOTHING. She is distracted
by --
MOLLY'S SCREAMS
from outside her office. Keri crosses to the window...
ANGLE THROUGH THE WINDOW
Molly standing at the gymnasium entrance, pounding against
the door with bloody palms... screaming bloody murder, trying
desperately to get in, while the students on the other side
try in vain to get out.
KERI
Molly?
The SHAPE approaches her, now only a few feet away.
Molly tugs feverishly at the chains, they hold tight. She
bolts for the bell tower, trailing blood... the SHAPE follows.
ON Keri, horrified... he's back. She charges out of the
office, on a mission...
CUT TO:
INT. BELL TOWER
Molly bursts through the door... she stops at the bottom of
the staircase, looks up to see...
FOUR FLIGHTS OF STAIRS
spiraling high above her. She hobbles up the stairway,
grunting in agony...
As she makes her ascent, she looks down to see...
A SHADOW
three flights down, begins its climb up the stairs. Molly
picks up the pace...
EXT. BELL TOWER - CONTINUOUS
Molly emerges at the top of the bell tower... runs over to
the rope dangling from the massive bell... pulls with all her
might, causes...
THE BELL
to swing... BUT there is no sound!
Molly frantically pulls the rope again, SCREAMING madly...
trying desperately to get someone's attention...
Still no sound! She moves to the gargantuan bell, looks
inside and sees...
WALLY'S BODY
stuffed up inside of it, preventing the clapper from striking
the bell.
Molly reaches in, grabs Wally's shirt... tugs with all her
might... expels the cadaver with a final heave-ho.
ON Wally's corpse as it falls four stories down, lands at the
foot of the staircase.
Molly stumbles back... wraps the rope around her wrists, tugs
with all her weight...
RING-RING-RING! THE BELL RESONATES ACROSS CAMPUS. A call
for help...
Molly continues to pull at the rope, her wrists bleeding as
the cord digs into her skin. She watches in horror as...
A SHADOW
approaches the top of the stairway... a FIGURE emerges,
it's...
THE SHAPE
Molly SCREAMS... the SHAPE grabs he... wraps the ROPE tightly
around her neck... Molly grasp for breath.
ON KERI
Running furiously across the campus... trying desperately to
reach the bell tower in time...
ON THE SHAPE
Moves Molly to the wall of the bell tower, tosses her over
the edge....
ON KERI
Watches in horror as Molly falls two flights before the rope
goes taunt, snapping her neck instantly... the bell CLANGS.
KERI
NOOOOOOOOO!
INT. GYMNASIUM - SAME TIME
A group of STUDENTS, with Will at the helm, use a WOODEN
BENCH as a battering ram...
BOOM!
The bench slams against the gym entrance, the metal doors
start to buckle...
BOOM!
ON THE GYMNASIUM DOORS, the weight of the wooden bench pops
the chains wrapped around the handles, the doors fly open...
KERI
watches as crazed STUDENTS pour out of the gymnasium, head
for the parked buses across campus...
STUDENTS spot Molly dangling from the bell tower... SCREAMS
of terror echo across campus...
Keri turns back to the bell tower... the SHAPE IS GONE!
KERI
(realizing)
John...
She heads toward --
THE PARKED SCHOOL BUSES
being filled to capacity with screaming teens...
WILL
leads the charge of getting all students safely aboard.
KERI
manages to find John amongst the throng...
KERI
John!
Mother and son reunite...
JOHN
He found you, didn't he?
KERI
Get on the bus.
JOHN
Where's Molly? She's not in her
room...
KERI
Just get on the bus.
JOHN
I'm not leaving without her.
KERI
John, you can't help her now.
JOHN
What? Where is she?
KERI
John...
Keri's at a loss for words, it's written all over her face...
JOHN
Oh, God... no... not Molly.
KERI
Please, get on the bus...
John hesitates for a beat... climbs into the bus, takes a
window seat...
WILL
crosses to Keri, hugs her tight...
WILL
Keri, you all right?
KERI
We've got to get these kids out of
here...
WILL
I'll make sure there's no kids
left in the dorms...
WILL
dashes toward the dorms...
KERI
climbs aboard the bus, stands next to the driver... waits
impatiently for Will to return.
