H20
John heads for his house, waves good-bye to Molly... she
waves back sheepishly.
Keri and Molly continue toward the dorms...
KERI
(continuing)
Molly, of all the people... if I
can't trust my resident assistant,
then what?
MOLLY
I know. I'm really, really sorry,
Miss Tate. Please let me keep the
job... it's the only way I can
afford to stay here.
KERI
Okay, tell you what... you can
still be the school R.A., but no
dance tomorrow night.
MOLLY
(relieved)
Okay... thank you.
Molly gives Keri a hug...
KERI
Something tells me I won't get the
same reaction when I tell John...
The two are completely unaware of...
THE SHAPE
watching from the thicket, the moonlight reflected off his
pale white mask.
CUT TO:
EXT. HILLCREST ACADEMY - ESTABLISHING - MORNING
STUDENTS scurry from their dorms to the adjacent school
building, racing to make it to their a.m. classes on time...
SUPER the legend: "October 31st. Halloween."
INT. GYMNASIUM - MORNING
A group of students take laps in the indoor swimming pool
beneath the retracted gymnasium floor.
The gym is decorated for the Halloween festival that night...
Their coach, MRS. ROCKWELL, supervises from poolside, whistle
dangling around her neck.
ON Molly, Linda, and SARAH LOCKE, the resident gossip with
beauty pageant good looks, as they complete their final lap.
They congregate in the shallow end, their goggles perched on
their heads...
MOLLY
I feel like everyone's staring at
me.
SARAH
News travels fast. It's all over
school about you and John getting
busted in the woods by Miss Tate.
LINDA
Don't suppose you had anything to
do with that, motor mouth.
SARAH
Shut up, freak.
Mrs. Rockwell blows her WHISTLE... the girls in the pool wait
for her instruction.
MRS. ROCKWELL
Alright, I know you girls have the
big Halloween dance tonight, so
I'm letting you go ten minutes
early today.
LINDA
(under her breath)
How generous of her.
Molly, Linda, and Sarah start to climb out of the pool...
MRS. ROCKWELL
Sarah, since you took it upon
yourself to arrive ten minutes
late today, you can stay the extra
ten minutes.
SARAH
But Mrs. Rockwell...
MRS. ROCKWELL
Use the time to practice your
drive. You looked real sloppy out
there today.
LINDA
Ooooh, busted.
MOLLY
Big time. And news travels fast.
Wouldn't be surprised if the whole
school knows about this one by
tonight.
Sarah flips them the finger...
SARAH
Smile at the birdie, ladies.
Molly and Linda head toward the locker room...
LINDA
Sarah Locke. What a major bitch.
You know she waxes her stomach?
Molly and Linda exit the gymnasium...
ON Sarah as she climbs out of the pool... walks to the diving
board on the other end of the deserted gym... places the
goggles over her eyes...
She dives into the water... swims underwater toward the
shallow end... she heads toward the surface...
SARAH POV
The SHAPE is standing poolside... his image warped by the
rolling water, bobbing and swaying with the current.
Sarah breaks through the surface of the water, catches her
breath... throws off her goggles, scans the gym...
ANGLE ON THE GYMNASIUM
Empty. Not a soul in sight.
Sarah shrugs it off, climbs back out of the pool... heads for
the diving board...
She dives into the water... as she emerges in the shallow end
the lights in the gym extinguish... leaving her in darkness.
SARAH
(calling out)
Hey! There's someone in here!
No response. Sarah moves toward the stairs...
SARAH
(continuing)
Hell-o! I'm in here!
She grabs the railing, starts to pull herself out of the
pool, when suddenly...
THE SHAPE GRABS HER BY THE NECK.
Pushes her back into the pool... holds her head under the
water... her arms flail wildly as she struggles for breath...
The Shape flashes a knife... slices into flesh...
Sarah's body goes limp... the SHAPE releases her... her
lifeless body floats face down in the bloody water.
WIDE OF THE GYMNASIUM
The SHAPE has disappeared from view.
CLANG-CLANG-CLANG.
The gym floor begins to close over the pool, covering the
floating corpse inside of it.
CUT TO:
EXT. HILLCREST ACADEMY - DAY
Keri moves across campus, notices --
THE MASSIVE WROUGHT IRON GATES
open to the single lane road exiting the school.
Keri eyes the GUARDHOUSE that sits at the entrance, indignant.
INT. GUARD HOUSE
Keri enters, the guard house is empty...
KERI
(calling off)
Hattie?
She's nowhere in sight...
KERI
(continuing)
Now where is she?
Keri pushes a BUTTON on the console in front of her.
THE GATES
slowly begin to close...
KERI
exits the guard house, closes the door behind her... heads
back to the school.
CLOSE ON: A COFFEE MUG
sits on the console, filled with a deep red liquid...
PLOP!
A drop of blood falls from
THE CEILING
Blood soaks the drop-ceiling... Hattie's corpse hidden from
view.
CLANG!
The GATES SHUT tight...
CUT TO:
INT. HEADMASTER'S OFFICE - LATER THAT AFTERNOON
Keri walks into her office, shuts the door behind her...
turns to find
CARTER
seated in front of her desk... Blake stands beside him,
looking out the office window...
Keri jumps at the sight of the uninvited guests --
KERI
(startled)
Shit!
Carter stands, takes one look at her and knows he's hit the
jackpot...
CARTER
I'll be damned.
KERI
Do I know you?
BLAKE
We're sorry to startle you, Miss
Tate.
CARTER
The door was open, so we let
ourselves in.
KERI
I can see that. Who are you?
Carter flashes a smile, then his badge...
CARTER
Detective Carter from the
Haddonfield P.D.
BLAKE
Toni Blake from Langley P.D.
Keri knows exactly why they're here, her dual lives are
crossing paths... they've found little sister.
CARTER
Mind if we sit down?
KERI
I'd prefer you didn't. I'm very
busy.
CARTER
Okay, then how 'bout we ask you a
few questions?
KERI
Detective...
CARTER
Carter.
KERI
... I think it would be best if
you both left.
CARTER
Might want to stop and think about
the safety of your students, Miss
Tate.
KERI
I never stop thinking about it,
Detective.
(pointing out the window)
The only way in or out of this
school is through that gate, and
it is secured at all times.
CARTER
Funny, we just drove right in.
