Anna Moss, Girlfriend of Jeff Forman, has just revealed that she is the killer.
ANNA: I am family. I am a Forman. Your own flesh and blood.
JEFF: But how?
VERONICA: There's no way.
NANCY: It's impossible.
ANNA: It is possible. Because it's the truth. We're family.
JEFF: Explain it to us.
Anna smiles.
ANNA: It's best if someone else explains it. My partner can explain it better than me.
NANCY: Your partner?
ANNA: Yes…(shouts) MAYBE IT'S TIME THAT YOU'VE MET MY PARTNER!
The basement door opens. Nancy, Jeff, and Veronica turn to the door. They can hear the footsteps of someone coming towards the door…TYLER AND ABBY come out of the basement door and into the kitchen.
The three younger Forman are shocked. It appears to them that Tyler and Abby has just revealed themselves as Anna's accomplices.
NANCY: Tyler? Abby?
They shake their heads no.
TYLER: No. It's not us.
A hand pushes Tyler and Abby aside and walks in….ANNA'S ACCOMPLICE; the NOT DEAD DAHN "DAN" LANG. He has a gun on the couple.
The kids are shocked by this reveal.
KIDS: DAN?
Anna smiles at Dan.
ANNA: Hi, Daddy!
DAN: Hey, Baby.
This makes everyone gasps.
TYLER: Wait. So you two are father and daughter?
DAN: I told you that I have a daughter. I don't see her much because she spends time with…(points to Jeff) her boyfriend…(points to everyone else) and her friends.
JEFF: But you two hate each other.
ANNA: That was just a cover.
DAN: That's right.
(NOTE: If you read back to their interactions in Chapters 9 and 10, you can see that Anna is uncomfortable around Dan even when alone. Talking about him getting too close or how she doesn't wanna risk being caught cheating on Jeff. That's because she was afraid that Dan would blow their cover by getting too close. I just made it seem like Dan was trying to get in between Jeff and Anna.)
NANCY: So Patrick isn't your accomplice?
ANNA: Nope. He's innocent. And he was telling you the truth. He's not your twin. You don't have one. But he does. When we found out Patrick's background and saw how similar his life was to yours, we made you believe that you were his twin just to push blame on him.
DAN: You two being born on the same date, in the same city, at the same hospital, being delivered by the same doctor, and having parents who have the same first names is all just a coincidence. The biggest one I've ever seen. But, hey. It worked. We made you you think you were frenching your own brother.
ANNA: And you should have seen your reaction when you thought that you were dating your own brother. It was so priceless. We couldn't resist.
NANCY: What about that shadow in the sonogram?
DAN: Exactly that. A shadow. Your shadow.
NANCY: (feeling stupid) Oh.
DAN: Anyways...you wanted answers. You wanna know how we're Forman?
TYLER: How are you Forman?
DAN: Think back to when you first came around, Tyler. Do you remember a secret that you exposed to the family?
TYLER: Just that Laurie had kids. Nancy and I were the only kids I knew about at the time. Don't tell me she had more.
Dan laughs.
DAN: No, no, no. The secret you exposed was about...Red Forman Sr.
Tyler thinks for a moment. He suddenly remembers and gasps.
TYLER: You mean…?
DAN: That's right, Tyler.
FLASHBACK (Chapter 9 of "That 90s Story")
Tyler has revealed that he's Laurie's son. Revealing that her family's harsh criticism was the reason for her whorish life. But he's pointing out that like her, they've all mistakes, too.
TYLER: Red, do you love your wife?
RED: Yes, of course. I love Kitty more than I can ever explain. I would die without her.
Kitty smiles.
TYLER: Remember what happened in Korea?
(NOTE: I changed it to Korea since some of you got upset over my claiming him serving in Vietnam)
Red is horrified. Everyone turns to him. Shocked. They know where Tyler is going with this.
RED: I told Kitty.
KITTY: He did. I've forgiven him.
FLASHBACK (1952 - KOREA)
A YOUNG RED FORMAN (20s) is fighting along with his fellow U.S. Troops in a village in KOREA. ENEMY SOLDIERS (North Korean) are shooting at U.S. soldiers and innocent SOUTH KOREAN CIVILIANS.
One of the S.K.s is KIM LANG (20s), young, beautiful, innocent, and scared for her life. A N.K. Soldier aims his gun at her. She's helpless. However, before the N.K. can shoot her, he's shot. Kim turns to find that her rescuer is RED.
As more N.K. troops go after them, Red takes Kim's hand and they run to safety. They hide under a dug up hole.
RED: (in Korean) Stay down.
Kim does as she's told. Red easily, alone, shoots down the majority of the N.K. troops.
That night, Red and Kim are at a safe location. Red puts a blanket around Kim. Comforting her. She just stares into his eyes. Obviously attracted to him.
RED: (in Korean) You okay?
KIM: (in Korean) Yes. Thanks to you. What is your name?
RED: (in Korean) Red.
KIM: (in Korean) I like you, Red. My name is Kim. You're my hero.
RED: (in Korean) Just doing my duty, Kim.
Red smiles. He stares into her eyes. In a moment of weakness, Red kisses Kim.
We TRANSITION to RED and Kim in a tent where they are having sex.
FLASH
Kim is screaming as she's giving birth. A doctor and a nurse is with her.
Meanwhile, Red is being shipped home to the U.S. He reunites with Kitty.
Kim is giving birth to Red's baby alone.
BABY CRIES
We learn that the baby is a boy. As we zoom into the baby's eyes, we realize that Red's son is DAHN "DAN" LANG.
BACK TO 2010
The entire surviving Formans are shocked by this revelation.
TYLER: So that means you're our Uncle?
DAN: That's right. I'm your guys' Uncle. The first child of Reginald Albert Forman. The older brother of Laurie and Eric Forman.
JEFF: That means Anna is…
Jeff suddenly realized that he's dating HIS OWN COUSIN.
JEFF: I slept with my cousin?
ANNA: That's right, baby. We're cousins.
Jeff is not taking this well.
JEFF: I think I'm gonna be sick.
ANNA: Don't be. We can still be together. Right, Daddy?
DAN: Of course. We won't judge you. (turns to Tyler)...It's not like it's the first time that a Carter hooked up with a cousin of theirs.
Dan is, of course, referring to Tyler and Betsy's brief fling.
ANNA: We have no problem with incest. In fact…
Anna takes her father's hand.
ANNA: We enjoy it. Don't we, Daddy?
DAN: That's right, baby.
Dan and Anna begin making out. This sickens the rest of the Formans. They cannot believe they're witnessing a father and daughter committing incest.
DAN: We like to keep everything in the family. Because family means everything. There is no closer bond than family.
ANNA: That's right.
DAN: And that is why we want to start this family of killers. To continue the Forman legacy. Our entire family from the very beginning has taken lives. Both evil and innocent. We are a strong family. We have the skills and abilities to do things that nobody else can. We can take any life we want. Put fear in other people. And we will never get caught. We've already shown how easy it is to frame others.
ANNA: Oh, how everyone thinks that it was Zach Willis who killed Brandon Moore and Jenny Swayne. But it was me who stabbed Jenny and crushed Brandon's head with his own car.
DAN: And how everyone thinks Norm Peterson killed Eric. But it was me who killed Eric. I killed my own brother. Because he was unfit to be part of this strong family.
VERONICA: You son of a bitch. You killed my father.
DAN: He was too weak. He was always weak. He was a total wimp. Formans are not wimps.
ANNA: We had to get rid of some people that was in the way. So I had to kill Dani, Luke, and I think I successfully killed Vicki, too. But I can always try again. Patrick, too.
DAN: I took care of Hyde, Brian, Fez, nearly killed Anton, and…
Before Dan can finish, his nose begins to bleed.
ANNA: Oh, Daddy. Your nose is bleeding.
DAN: Damn nose. My wounds are slowly healing, too. That kid...Red II. He was a tough kid. Gave me a good beating. You should be proud. He fought well until the very end. But like Anton, Junior also declined to join in on our family tradition. So I had to kill him.
This is the one that pisses Nancy off the most.
NANCY: You fucker!
Nancy lunges towards Dan. But both he and Anna point their guns at her.
DAN: You're on fire, Nancy. I love seeing that rage. We can certainly use that. Just control yourself, Baby girl.
NANCY: Fuck you!
DAN: Hey, like I said, I have no problem with incest.
NANCY: Why are you doing this?
TYLER: Are you pissed that Red left you in Korea with your mom? Abandonment?
Dan and Anna laugh.
DAN: Oh, no. Like Laurez, I am not playing that stupid "I'm sad because Daddy left me." bullshit. I don't have a personal vendetta against anyone.
TYLER: Then what is your motive?
DAN: You wanna know what our motive is? Well here it is...We...Have...No...Motive!
ANNA: That's right. We're not pissed at anyone. We're just fucked up.
DAN: Yep. We're crazy psychopaths who enjoys killing people. We're not upset about abandonment, we're not looking for revenge, we're not looking for attention or fame. We're not blaming relatives or society. We have no blame, no vendetta, nor do we want anything. The closest thing we have is just honoring our family. To continue what other relatives have done in the past. But otherwise we just take pleasure in killing people.
Anna pulls out her BUCK 120 knife and rubs it on herself. Orgasm and feeling pleasure.
ANNA: If only you guys knew the pleasure I get from ripping people open. To decide rather someone lives or dies. How much pain you inflict. To look them in the eyes as they die. It is such a rush. More pleasurable than sex.
DAN: Tyler knows how that feels. Don't you, Tyler?
TYLER: I only killed those trying to kill me.
DAN: Until tonight. Tonight you took an innocent life.
TYLER: Johnson?
DAN: That's right. You murdered Johnson.
TYLER: But he was trying to kill us.
DAN: No, Tyler. He wasn't. See, after I invited you to come help me, I went to Johnson and paid him two hundred bucks to dress up like the killer. I told him that I was wanting to pull a prank on you and Abby. The plan was for him to stab me and chase you two around. Johnson was a known jokester and prankster in college. He just could not pass up the opportunity to be apart of a good prank. So the dumbass fell for it. So you murdered an innocent man, who was just trying to have some fun. He never meant you any harm. So...Welcome to the Family, Tyler. You are a true Forman now.
ANNA: Congrats, Cousin Tyler.
DAN: You are now officially a killer.
Tyler begins to break down. Feeling guilty, ashamed, and sorrow for taking an innocent life.
TYLER: (crying) What have I done?
Nancy begins crying, too. Feeling sorry for Tyler.
NANCY: Oh, Tyler.
DAN: Let it out, son. It happens to us all. I cried, too, on my first time.
ANNA: Oh, yeah. I was a total mess after my first kill.
DAN: It happens to the best of us. But once you stop crying, you will be a new person. You will be a killer. So, tell me, Tyler. Are you ready? Are you ready to take another life?
Tyler thinks for a moment. His facial expression shows it, too. That's right...Tyler is actually considering the offer. This frightens and disturbs Nancy, Abby, Veronica, and Jeff.
ABBY: Oh, my God. Tyler?
NANCY: You're not really thinking about this, are you?
Tyler looks up at them. Smiling. Has that crazy killer smile. The same one seen on Laurez, Wisher, Gary, Anna, and Dan. It appears that Tyler Forman has officially been turned to the DARK SIDE.
As this goes on, Tyler appears to be pulling something out of his waist.
TYLER: Yes, I am. I do. I wanna kill. I wanna take another life now.
Tyler laughs. That creepy psychotic laugh.
NANCY: Tyler, no!
ABBY: Why, Tyler? It's not you.
JEFF: You wouldn't.
VERONICA: You don't wanna do this, Tyler. You're a good guy.
TYLER: Yes, I do. I feel the rush. The pleasure to take a life. I want it so fucking badly right now.
Dan and Anna smile. So excited. Proud of their new rookie killer.
DAN: Yes. That's it, Tyler. You're now one of us. You're gonna make this family of killers much stronger than it ever was before. Tell me, Tyler. Who do you wanna kill next? Whose life do you desire to take?
Tyler looks up to his Uncle like Anakin Skywalker to Palpatine. However…
TYLER: YOURS!
Tyler stabs Dan. Dan screams out loud. That's right...Tyler just pulled a Nancy. Remember Nancy fooling Wisher? Tyler just totally went there.
Anna attempts to shoot Tyler but Nancy, Veronica, and Jeff grab her before she can pull the trigger.
NANCY: Not this time, bitch!
Tyler and Dan begin to fight. It takes them into the living room where there is more space for them.
Dan still has the gun in his hand. But he let's go of it so that he can pull the knife out of his stomach. We find that it's Tyler's knife from the first two stories. (Thought I forgot about that knife, didn't ya?)
TYLER: Did you really think that it was going to be that easy? Did you really think you could convince me to become a killer? What you saw there was me desiring to kill you. You killed my friends, you made me kill an innocent man, you killed my son, and now I kill you.
Dan tries swinging the knife at Tyler. But Tyler just doesn't give a fuck anymore. No fear. Tyler is just ready to shamelessly take Dan's life without a second thought.
TYLER: It's time to die, Uncle Dan.
DAN: You first, nephew.
Dan jumps Tyler.
Back in the kitchen, the others throw Anna to the floor, resulting in her dropping the gun. She attempts to retrieve but Nancy gets it and points it at her.
Anna just stares at her.
ANNA: I was really rooting for you, Nancy. You were going to be my protege. I would have loved mentoring you in the art of murder.
NANCY: I will never take a life. Not even yours.
ANNA: You weak little bitch.
Dan is on Tyler. The two are struggling. Dan is able to punch Tyler. This causes Tyler to let go. Dan raises Tyler's own knife up in the air. Ready for the kill.
DAN: You could have been a great killer. Say hello to our dead relatives.
Dan goes to stab Tyler when…
BANG
Dan falls off of Tyler. Everyone (Nancy, Abby, Jeff, and Veronica) enter the living room. They have Anna as their prisoner. They all turn to the shooter. Tyler looks up to see who his rescuer is.
It's PATRICK. His gunshot wound is not fatal.
PATRICK: Even when hurt, I'm still good with a gun.
NANCY: Patrick!
Nancy runs up to him and hugs him.
NANCY: I am so sorry. I'm so sorry that I accused you.
PATRICK: It's okay. I just hope you know that I would never hurt you.
NANCY: I know that now. I love you, Patrick.
PATRICK: I love you, too, Nancy.
Tyler approaches them and signals Patrick to hand the gun over to him. Patrick does so.
Suddenly...DAN RISES AND HOLDS UP THE KNIFE.
Tyler, nonchalantly and with a "I am so done with this shit" attitude, turns to Dan and…
BANG
Puts a bullet into Dan, who then falls to the floor.
Dahn "Dan" Lang, Son of Red Forman Sr, brother of Laurie and Eric, Uncle of Tyler, Laurez, Anton, Nancy, Jeff, Veronica, and Red II, and father of Anna Moss, is dead.
ANNA: NO!
Anna escapes from their grip and runs over to her father's dead body. She begins crying. Tyler stands over her. But he does not notice her grabbing his knife.
TYLER: It's over, Anna. You've lost. Just surrender. It'll be easier on you.
ANNA: Never!
Anna turns and stabs Tyler in the leg. He drops the gun as a result and Anna takes it. Nancy and Patrick pull Tyler with the rest of the survivors.
Anna points the gun at everyone. (Abby, Jeff, Veronica, Nancy, Patrick, and Tyler)
Nancy pulls out the other gun that she had taken from Anna earlier. She pulls the trigger…
CLICK! CLICK!
No bullets. Anna laughs.
ANNA: You're out of bullets. But I have only one left. I get to choose who gets to die.
Everyone just stands there helplessly. The tension is high. Anticipation.
ANNA: I have chosen who dies.
Anna turns to Nancy.
ANNA: I love you, Nancy. I love you, all. My dear family.
Suddenly...Anna turns the gun on herself…
BANG
Anna's body falls to the floor.
Anna Moss, Daughter of Dan Lang, granddaughter of Red, niece of Laurie and Eric, cousin of Tyler, Laurez, Anton, Nancy, Jeff, Veronica, and Red II, is dead.
Anna Moss is the very first X Killer to commit suicide.
Vicki groans.
VICKI: Ow!
Jeff and Veronica go over to their wounded Aunt. Turns out that Anna (who confessed to stabbing her) didn't stab her deep enough for it to be fatal. She's in critical condition but will survive.
VICKI: What happened?
VERONICA: It's okay, Aunt Vicki. It's over.
Nancy and Patrick attend to Tyler's wound. But Tyler is insisting that he's okay.
TYLER: This is nothing. I'm okay.
PATRICK: Are you sure?
TYLER: Yeah. Hey, Patrick...thanks for saving me.
PATRICK: You're Nancy brother. I'll do anything for her.
Tyler looks into his sister's boyfriend's eyes. It's clear now. Patrick is a good guy. And he truly loves Nancy. Tyler sees it. He gives the younger man a smile.
TYLER: You're a good man, Patrick.
Tyler offers him his hand. Patrick accepts it. A handshake. A newfound respect and friendship between them.
Nancy and Patrick look into each other's eyes and smile. It's clear to us that they intend to stay together. Their relationship will go on. (That's for you, Noah)
STAY TUNED FOR THE FINAL CONCLUDING CHAPTER OF THIS STORY. The tradition AFTERMATH chapter. What happens with the survivors next.
