Sydney holds Blaine's other hand. He looks down at her and
smiles.
They toast.
INT. DEAN'S OFFICE - NIGHT
The Dean is sitting at his desk, filling out some papers.
The only light is the desk lamp.
He finishes with one and moves to another.
His door opens.
He looks up.
SECRETARY
I'm going home for the night.
DEAN WILLIAMS
Okay. Good night Mary.
SECRETARY (MARY)
Good night Dean Williams.
She closes the door and the Dean returns to his work.
Outside in the hallway, there is a CRASHING SOUND and Mary
SCREAMS.
Dean Williams looks up, startled.
DEAN WILLIAMS
Mary?
No answer.
He gets up and walks to the door.
DEAN WILLIAMS
Mary? Are you okay?
He opens the door to find nothing but a DARK HALLWAY.
He steps out of his office.
INT. HALLWAY
He steps into the darkened hallway, bashing his leg into the
secretary's desk.
DEAN WILLIAMS
Ow! Shit! Where's the light switch?
He grops around in the dark, tripping over a trash can.
He finally finds the switch.
He flips it.
NOTHING.

Oh for the love of... where's the
flashlight?
He stumbles over to the secretary's desk and opens a drawer.
He pulls out a flashlight and turns it on.
He points it down the hallway to find
THE GLASS DOOR TO AN OFFICE SMASHED OPENED.

wall. He's breathing heavily.
A RUSTLING SOUND, like a cloak makes him turn.
A shadow moves at the end of the hallway.
The Dean shines his light, but finds nothing but a wall.
DEAN WILLIAMS
If this is some frat house pratical
joke it's gone way too far! If I
catch you I'm expelling all of you
and having you all arrested!
MAN (O.C.)
This is a fun game Dean. You should
try it.
Dean Williams looks around.
DEAN WILLIAMS
Where are you?!
(a sound, he points
the light)
Who are you?! Show yourself!
MAN
It's a fun game Dean. The rules are
simple. I win, you DIE!
The Ghostface suddenly appears in the beam of light. He's
holding a knife.
The Dean looks at the knife and turns, hauling ass back
toward his office.
The killer gives chase.
INT. DEAN'S OFFICE
The Dean rushes into his office, slamming the door shut and
locking it.
He pushes the chairs up against it to barricade himself in.

He frantically pushes the phone cradle.
NOTHING.
The killer begins ramming the door.
The Dean grabs his briefcase and pulls out his cell phone.

The killer continues to ram the door.

The Dean lets out a small sigh.
DEAN WILLIAMS
Never mind. He seems to have...
A GUNSHOT
is fired at the lock.
ANOTHER! and ANOTHER!
The killer shoves the door in. He's holding a gun.
The Dean drops the phone and grabs a plaque off the wall.
He charges the killer who ducks and punches the Dean in the
gut.
A knife slides out from the Ghostface's sleeve.
EMERGENCY OPERATOR (PHONE)
Hello? Are you still there?
The Ghostface stabs Dean Williams in the stomach.

Huge. Two couch like seats, and a wet bar, and a TV. A phone
is on the wet bar.
Dewey opens the mini-fridge in the bar and digs through the

Mark peers over Dewey's shoulder into the fridge.
MARK
Hey Dewey, toss me a Bud!
Dewey grabs two Budweiser longnecks. He toses one to mark.
DEWEY
Anyone else?
BLAINE
It's free, so drink up.
NEIL
Sure.
DEBRA
Gimme one too.
Blaine grabs a bottle of water. He offers one to Sydney who
takes it.
She leans close to his ear.
SYDNEY

I have to tell you something
important when we're alone.

Holy shit, this place is HUGE!
Blaine walks over to the front desk.
BLAINE
I'm Blaine Parker, I made the
reservations earlier this week.
CLERK
Oh yes. We need to see a form of
identification.
Blaine shows him his driver's license.
CLERK
Okay. The Parker party. Four
ajoining rooms, one being the
honeymoon suite.
BLAINE
You got it.
The clerk holds up two sets of keys. One is of four key
cards, the other are eight sets of keys.
CLERK
(indicating)
One set for the rooms, the other
set for the rental cars.
Blaine takes the keys.
BLAINE

We will.
He moves back to the group as a BELLHOP finishes loading
their bags on the cart.
BLAINE
All set.
INT. HOTEL HALLWAY
The elevator DINGS and the doors open.
The bellhop pushes the cart out of the elevator, and the
group follows into the hallway.
The bellhop stops in the middle of the hallway, in front of
the biggest set of double doors.
BLAINE
Thank you.
He tips the bellhop.
The bellhop returns to the elevator.
DEWEY
Come on man, I wanna see our room!
BLAINE
Okay, okay! Gale, Dewey, you have
the room over there.
He indicates the room and gives them their key card and two
sets for the rental car.
Dewey takes the key card and slides it in the lock and opens
the door.
We don't see inside as Dewey grabs their bags and bounds
inside.
DEWEY
Sweet!
Gale picks up the two small bags Dewey left and shrugs at
the others.
GALE
He's always like that.
She enters and the door closes.
Blaine gives Mark and Debra the key to their room and to
their rental car.
Mark opens the door.
MARK/DEBRA
Holy shit!
They take their bags into the room and close the door behind
them.
BLAINE
Neil, here's your keys: one to the
room, one to your rental. I got you
the best room in the place, next to
the honeymoon suite.
Neil takes the keys.
NEIL
Thank you.
He goes into his room with his bags and shuts the door.
Blaine and Sydney stand alone in the hallway.
BLAINE
He never liked me.
SYDNEY
I know.
BLAINE
Ready to see our room?
SYDNEY
Oh hell yeah.
Blaine slips the key into the lock and pushes the door open.
BLAINE
Ladies first.
Sydney walks in.
Blaine picks up the bags and follows after her.
He shuts the door.
INT. HONEYMOON SUITE - LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Very plush. Think big enough for three full sized suites and
conference room. A hallway leads out of the living room area
toward a bedroom.
SYDNEY
Wow!
She walks over to the couch and lays down, staring at the
ceiling.
SYDNEY
This is... wow!
Blaine grins.
BLAINE
Sounds like the first time we made
love.
Sydney laughs.
Blaine walks out onto the balcony.
Sydney sits up and watches him lean against the rail.

She stands and walks out onto the balcony.

The balcony overlooks the ocean, which is sparkling a
beautiful red and orange by the setting sun.
Sydney puts her arm around him.
He looks at her.
BLAINE
You see that rock over there?
He indicates a rocky outcropping leading into the sea. The
waves crash against the side but come anywhere near the top.
BLAINE
That's where we're going to get
married.
SYDNEY
It's beautiful.
Blaine turns to her and takes her hands.
BLAINE
What is it you wanted to tell me?
SYDNEY
(hesitantly)
I'm pregnant.
BLAINE
You sure?
SYDNEY
I had all the early tests done. The
doctor said it's a sure thing.
BLAINE
That would pretty much explain your
refusal to drink champange at the
resturant and in the lim
(beat, realizing)
That's great!
SYDNEY
(surprised)
But I thought...
BLAINE
Forget what I thought. This is
perfect!
Sydney smiles.
SYDNEY
I don't know when to tell Dad. If I
do it now he'd probably freak out...
or worse.
BLAINE
After the wedding. He can't do
anything then.
Blaine walks back in the room.
Sydney watches him.
THROUGH THE DOOR
we see him go to the mini refridgerator next to the door.
He opens it and returns with two bottles of water.
BLAINE
Since it's not heathly for the
mother or baby, you can't exactly
drink anything with alcohol or
caffeine.
Sydney accepts the water.
SYDNEY
Very considerate.
BLAINE
You learn a lot from watching the
Miracle of Life. Lord help me if I
ever have to watch it again.
(raises his bottle)
A toast, to us, and the beginning
of our new family.
They drink.
Sydney yawns.
SYDNEY
I'm tired. That jetlag is really
getting to me.
BLAINE
You go on to bed. I'll be right here.

He gets off the couch and walks to the door.
He opens it to reveal THREE POLICE OFFICERS.
BLAINE
Can I help you?
POLICE OFFICER #1
Mr. Parker, can you identify this
ring?
The officer holds up a ring.
Blaine looks at it closely and then at his hand.
BLAINE
Goddamn. How in the hell did that
fall off?
(to officers)
That's ring it mine, officers.

The officer removes the handcuffs from his belt.

He's ignored.
He steps in front of the officers.
DEWEY
What's the charge?
POLICE OFFICER #2
Who are you?
Dewey reaches for his wallet but realizes he doesn't have
any pants on.
He looks back at his room and Gale throws his pants at him.
He pulls his wallet out and flashes his sherrif's badge.
DEWEY
Dewey Riley. Woodsboro Police.
POLICE OFFICER #1
Murder.
More people emrge from their rooms, including Mark, Debra,
and Neil.
POLICE OFFICER #1
Why don't we continue this at the
station?

Gale.
Dewey, Sydney, the three officers and Blaine walk down the
hall to the elevator.
INT. POLICE STATION - INTERROGATION ROOM
Blaine is sitting in the only chair in this barren gray room
facing a square table. His left wrist is handcuffed to the
left arm.
Dewey and Sydney are sitting on stools.
The three cops are standing.
POLICE OFFICER #1
We found this ring floating in the
toliet where the victim's body was
found.
DEWEY
Are you saying she died because the
killer drownedher in a toliet?
POLICE OFFICER #3
Not the prettiest way to die. It's
the weirdest one I've seen yet.
DEWEY
How do you know the ring is his?
POLICE OFFICER #1
Mr. Parker postively identified it
as his own. We suspected it was him
due to the inscription on the ring.
SYDNEY
I love you forever, only love was a
heart, you was spelt "u" and
forever was "4-ever."
(off their looks)
I gave him the ring.
POLICE OFFICER #2
Mr. Parker, where were you around
7:43 this evening?
BLAINE
Sydney was asleep so I got up to
watch some TV. I fell asleep. I
didn't get to sleep until late last
night.
POLICE OFFICER #1
Why?
BLAINE
I was plotting the death of the
maid. Kidding, kidding. I was
trying to figure out a way to tell
her
(indicates Sydney)
father about her baby without him
going for my throat.
The officers raise their eyebrows.
BLAINE
Don't ask.
POLICE OFFICER #2
Can anyone substanciate your claim?
BLAINE
I don't know. Maybe, but I doubt it.
Besides, how am I supposed to know
when I'm out cold on the couch?
Anyone could've taken that ring at
any time. I'm a very heavy sleeper.
Someone could have walked into our
room, taken the ring, and left, and
I would never have known about it.
Another officer knocks on the door.
Everyone looks up as the door opens.
POLICE OFFICER #4
Phone call for Sydney Prescott?
SYDNEY

Sydney turns, wide eyed.
The officer looks at her, puzzled, but does nothing.
MAN
I'm going to go after Blaine again,
Sydney. And then it'll be your turn.

Sydney gives him a glare that could kill.
SYDNEY
I don't lie about these things.

The killer called up the station to
brag to Sydney, and that's how I
got out.
MARK
So that Stab lunatic followed us
here?
NEIL

I told you I didn't want you to come.

A knife slides out from the Ghostface's sleeve.

Very good sir.
He opens the door and the group piles in.
The driver proceeds to load their luggage in the trunk.

Huge. Two couch like seats, and a wet bar, and a TV. A phone
is on the wet bar.
Dewey opens the mini-fridge in the bar and digs through the
drinks.
DEWEY
Man, they got everything!
Mark peers over Dewey's shoulder into the fridge.
MARK
Hey Dewey, toss me a Bud!
Dewey grabs two Budweiser longnecks. He toses one to mark.
DEWEY
Anyone else?
BLAINE
It's free, so drink up.
NEIL
Sure.
DEBRA
Gimme one too.
Blaine grabs a bottle of water. He offers one to Sydney who
takes it.
She leans close to his ear.
SYDNEY
(whisper)
I have to tell you something
important when we're alone.

BLAINE
I'm Blaine Parker, I made the
reservations earlier this week.
CLERK
Oh yes. We need to see a form of
identification.
Blaine shows him his driver's license.
CLERK
Okay. The Parker party. Four
ajoining rooms, one being the
honeymoon suite.
BLAINE
You got it.
The clerk holds up two sets of keys. One is of four key
cards, the other are eight sets of keys.
CLERK
(indicating)
One set for the rooms, the other
set for the rental cars.
Blaine takes the keys.
BLAINE

We will.
He moves back to the group as a BELLHOP finishes loading
their bags on the cart.
BLAINE
All set.
INT. HOTEL HALLWAY
The elevator DINGS and the doors open.
The bellhop pushes the cart out of the elevator, and the

Thank you.
He tips the bellhop.
The bellhop returns to the elevator.
DEWEY
Come on man, I wanna see our room!
BLAINE
Okay, okay! Gale, Dewey, you have
the room over there.
He indicates the room and gives them their key card and two
sets for the rental car.
Dewey takes the key card and slides it in the lock and opens
the door.
We don't see inside as Dewey grabs their bags and bounds
inside.
DEWEY
Sweet!
Gale picks up the two small bags Dewey left and shrugs at
the others.
GALE
He's always like that.
She enters and the door closes.
Blaine gives Mark and Debra the key to their room and to
their rental car.
Mark opens the door.
MARK/DEBRA
Holy shit!
They take their bags into the room and close the door behind
them.
BLAINE
Neil, here's your keys: one to the
room, one to your rental. I got you
the best room in the place, next to
the honeymoon suite.
Neil takes the keys.
NEIL
Thank you.
He goes into his room with his bags and shuts the door.
Blaine and Sydney stand alone in the hallway.
BLAINE
He never liked me.
SYDNEY
I know.
BLAINE
Ready to see our room?
SYDNEY
Oh hell yeah.
Blaine slips the key into the lock and pushes the door open.
BLAINE
Ladies first.
Sydney walks in.
Blaine picks up the bags and follows after her.
He shuts the door.
INT. HONEYMOON SUITE - LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Very plush. Think big enough for three full sized suites and
conference room. A hallway leads out of the living room area
toward a bedroom.
SYDNEY
Wow!
She walks over to the couch and lays down, staring at the
ceiling.
SYDNEY
This is... wow!
Blaine grins.
BLAINE
Sounds like the first time we made
love.
Sydney laughs.
Blaine walks out onto the balcony.
Sydney sits up and watches him lean against the rail.

Blaine?
She stands and walks out onto the balcony.
EXT. BALCONY - DUSK - CONTINUOUS
The balcony overlooks the ocean, which is sparkling a
beautiful red and orange by the setting sun.
Sydney puts her arm around him.
He looks at her.
BLAINE
You see that rock over there?
He indicates a rocky outcropping leading into the sea. The
waves crash against the side but come anywhere near the top.
BLAINE
That's where we're going to get
married.
SYDNEY
It's beautiful.
Blaine turns to her and takes her hands.
BLAINE
What is it you wanted to tell me?
SYDNEY
(hesitantly)
I'm pregnant.
BLAINE
You sure?
SYDNEY
I had all the early tests done. The
doctor said it's a sure thing.
BLAINE
That would pretty much explain your
refusal to drink champange at the
resturant and in the lim
(beat, realizing)
That's great!
SYDNEY
(surprised)
But I thought...
BLAINE
Forget what I thought. This is
perfect!
Sydney smiles.
SYDNEY
I don't know when to tell Dad. If I
do it now he'd probably freak out...
or worse.
BLAINE
After the wedding. He can't do
anything then.
Blaine walks back in the room.
Sydney watches him.
THROUGH THE DOOR
we see him go to the mini refridgerator next to the door.
He opens it and returns with two bottles of water.
BLAINE
Since it's not heathly for the
mother or baby, you can't exactly
drink anything with alcohol or
caffeine.
Sydney accepts the water.
SYDNEY
Very considerate.
BLAINE
You learn a lot from watching the
Miracle of Life. Lord help me if I
ever have to watch it again.
(raises his bottle)
A toast, to us, and the beginning
of our new family.
They drink.
Sydney yawns.
SYDNEY
I'm tired. That jetlag is really
getting to me.
BLAINE
You go on to bed. I'll be right here.

He gets off the couch and walks to the door.
He opens it to reveal THREE POLICE OFFICERS.
BLAINE
Can I help you?
POLICE OFFICER #1
Mr. Parker, can you identify this
ring?
The officer holds up a ring.
Blaine looks at it closely and then at his hand.
BLAINE
Goddamn. How in the hell did that
fall off?
(to officers)
That's ring it mine, officers.
POLICE OFFICER #1
Blaine Parker you are under arrest
for the murder of Edith Abram.
The officer removes the handcuffs from his belt.
BLAINE

Sydney emerges from the bedroom hallway. She yawns.
SYDNEY
Blaine?
(notices the officers)
What's going on here?
BLAINE
I'm being arrested.
SYDNEY
What for?

I don't know. They say I killed
someone.
The officers escort Blaine into the hallway.
Sydney follows.

Gale and Dewey emerge from their room
Dewey is wearing an undershirt, his underwear, and a pair of
socks.
DEWEY
What's goin' on?
He's ignored.
He steps in front of the officers.
DEWEY
What's the charge?
POLICE OFFICER #2
Who are you?
Dewey reaches for his wallet but realizes he doesn't have
any pants on.
He looks back at his room and Gale throws his pants at him.
He pulls his wallet out and flashes his sherrif's badge.
DEWEY
Dewey Riley. Woodsboro Police.
POLICE OFFICER #1
Murder.
More people emrge from their rooms, including Mark, Debra,
and Neil.
POLICE OFFICER #1
Why don't we continue this at the
station?
DEWEY
Good idea.
GALE
I'll explain it to everyone else.
Dewey quickly pulls his pants on and takes his shirt from
Gale.
Dewey, Sydney, the three officers and Blaine walk down the
hall to the elevator.
INT. POLICE STATION - INTERROGATION ROOM
Blaine is sitting in the only chair in this barren gray room
facing a square table. His left wrist is handcuffed to the
left arm.
Dewey and Sydney are sitting on stools.
The three cops are standing.
POLICE OFFICER #1
We found this ring floating in the
toliet where the victim's body was
found.
DEWEY
Are you saying she died because the
killer drownedher in a toliet?
POLICE OFFICER #3
Not the prettiest way to die. It's
the weirdest one I've seen yet.
DEWEY
How do you know the ring is his?
POLICE OFFICER #1
Mr. Parker postively identified it
as his own. We suspected it was him
due to the inscription on the ring.
SYDNEY
I love you forever, only love was a
heart, you was spelt "u" and
forever was "4-ever."
(off their looks)
I gave him the ring.
POLICE OFFICER #2
Mr. Parker, where were you around
7:43 this evening?
BLAINE
Sydney was asleep so I got up to
watch some TV. I fell asleep. I
didn't get to sleep until late last
night.
POLICE OFFICER #1
Why?
BLAINE
I was plotting the death of the
maid. Kidding, kidding. I was
trying to figure out a way to tell
her
(indicates Sydney)
father about her baby without him
going for my throat.
The officers raise their eyebrows.
BLAINE
Don't ask.
POLICE OFFICER #2
Can anyone substanciate your claim?
BLAINE
I don't know. Maybe, but I doubt it.
Besides, how am I supposed to know
when I'm out cold on the couch?
Anyone could've taken that ring at
any time. I'm a very heavy sleeper.
Someone could have walked into our
room, taken the ring, and left, and
I would never have known about it.
Another officer knocks on the door.
Everyone looks up as the door opens.
POLICE OFFICER #4
Phone call for Sydney Prescott?
SYDNEY

He stays a respectable distance back as she picks up the

Did you like the nice wedding
present I gave you and Blaine?
Sydney turns, wide eyed.
The officer looks at her, puzzled, but does nothing.
MAN
I'm going to go after Blaine again,
Sydney. And then it'll be your turn.
She slams the phone down and storms back to the interrogation
room.
The officer tries to get some info.

DEWEY

BLAINE

Sydney gives him a glare that could kill.
SYDNEY
I don't lie about these things.

Sydney nods.
POLICE OFFICER #2

you back to your hotel.

toliet, and since I identified it,
they thought it was me who did it.
The killer called up the station to
brag to Sydney, and that's how I
got out.
MARK
So that Stab lunatic followed us
here?
NEIL
(to Sydney)
I told you I didn't want you to come.
BLAINE
This is really the wrong time to
bring up that little grudge you
have against me, Neil.

killed.
BLAINE
No, I'm not. You have to learn to

SYDNEY
Yeah, I did, didn't I?
Debra emerges from the kitchenette with a pile of junk food
and snack crackers.
DEBRA

Who's hungry?
There's a KNOCK on the door.
Debra sets the food down on the coffee table and opens the
door.
It reveals a very solemn looking Dewey, Mark, and Blaine.
DEBRA
What is it?
Sydney sees Blaine and walks to the door.
BLAINE
Neil's dead...
The party atmosphere, like Neil Prescott, is dead at this
point.
Sydney's eyes begin to well up with tears.
Blaine hugs her and holds her as she begins to cry.
SYDNEY
Not Dad. Not now... he'll never get
to see me married now...
BLAINE
I know baby. I know.

How?
A police officer steps through the crowded doorway. From
this point on he will be known as Detective Philip Daniels.
