Scene 11 - The Final Scene
(Gale is driving her car when her cell phone rings. She picks it up.)
GALE
Dewey?
VOICE
No Gale! But I bet you wish it was him. Too bad he's dead.
GALE
Dead? You fucker, if I ever get my hands on you I'll kill you.
VOICE
Well Gale now here is your chance.
GALE
What?
VOICE
You have your chance to kill me. Actually, I wouldn't call it a chance I'd call it a date you have to go to.
GALE
What do you mean?
VOICE
Well if you don't come Rick and Allison will die, and then I'll just come for you anyways. You can't hide from me Gale; I'm going to win.
GALE
Where are you?
VOICE
I'm At Allison's house see you soon.
(Gale makes a sharp turn and drives to Allison's. She opens her glove compartment and grabs a gun. She puts a magazine inside the gun, and pulls off the safety. She stops her car in front of Allison's house, and gets out. She goes to the front door and opens it. She walks into the house slowly, holding the gun in front of her, breathing heavily. She walks up the stairs slowly, and checks the first room on the left, no one there. Suddenly her phone rings. She jumps then picks it up.)
GALE
What do you want?
VOICE
Well now that you're here it would be great for you to join us.
GALE
Where are you?
VOICE
I'm a room that has eight letters in it.
GALE
Just tell me where the fuck you are, I don't' want to play any games.
VOICE
I don't think you have any choice in the matter. See you soon!
(He hangs up. While Gale repeaditly whispers to herself "Eight Letters".)
GALE
Bathroom!
(Gale runs into the bathroom. Her phone rings.)
GALE
Yes.
VOICE
Geez are you smart Gale! Eight letters, Bathroom. B A T H
GALE
Shut up you fucker I know how to spell. Where are you?
VOICE
I'm in the closet. If you are brave enough open it.
GALE
And Allison and Rick?
VOICE
not in here.
GALE
But I thought you said-
VOICE
Gale, Gale, you have to pay attention you asked where "I" was. You did not ask me where your friends were.
GALE
Why don't you show yourself you coward.
VOICE
I was just planning on it.
(Suddenly the closet door burst open. Gale points the gun at the killer's head.)
VOICE
You don't have the guts!
(The killer pulls out a knife and slashes Gale's arm. Gale drops the gun, and runs.)
ALLISON
Gale?
(Holding her arm, she runs down the stairs.)
GALE
Where are you?
ALLISON
In the kitchen.
(Gale runs into the kitchen. Allison is tied to a wooden chair and Rick is on the floor unconscious and there is blood near his leg, and a stream of dry blood is across the floor. She runs to Allison to untie her. The killer comes and kicks Gale in the face. She drops to the floor, she trips the killer and kicks the knife to the other side of the room, near Rick. She gets up at the same time the killer does. The killer is holding a gun. Gale backs up towards Rick's body.)
GALE
It's not loaded!
VOICE
Of course it is Gale, don't even think that little trick will work with me.
GALE
When do I get to find out who you are? You sick fuck!
VOICE
Right before you die, you fame seeking bitch!
(The killer pull off his mask, and John's face is behind it. Suddenly Rick pulls Gale to the floor. Rick is holding the killer's knife and he stabs Gale in the chest repeatedly. He then gets up.)
RICK
Thanks for not killing me man!
JOHN
No problem, we were in this together.
ALLISON
What?
RICK
A little shocking is it?
ALLISON
Why?
RICK
Why? How can you not know you cheating little whore!
ALLISON
Oh my god! How did you know?
RICK
Its easy having a nearby spy to help motivate you. Make you crazy.
(Rick points to John.)
ALLISON
So that's it? I cheated on you so you kill me, and Ben? What about everyone else? Why did they have to die? Lisa? Dewey? Everyone else, why?
RICK
Lets answer the first question, and I'll turn the rest over to my good friend Jim. Why did I kill Ben, and soon you, because you cheated on me. Here is my reasoning. Well, Allison, I used to love you! Really love you! I was going to ask you to marry me until I found out about you and my best friend Ben. Isn't that enough to drive one crazy? His best friend, and his first love betraying him? I think so! That made it easy to kill Kincaid, and his girlfriend, while my friend Jim did the rest. He'll tell you why.
JIM
Well, Allison I'm a very poor man, a struggling artist, who works at K-Mart so he can survive. How does one crazy person like me make some money in this world? Hollywood! Whenever you are in trouble you turn to Hollywood. To make some real money, I had to make the perfect movie. A sequel in which all the unexpected happens. To make the best movie, you need to make it happen. The best movies are about wars, and tragedies that are based on some truth. To make this movie, I'll finish off the job, hide away for a few years, then send in the script.
ALLISON
You're never going to get away with this!
JIM
Of course I will! Jim Forsythe doesn't exist. The name that my DNA and Blood connects to has disappeared two years ago. As for Rick! He's going to disappear too, I'll help him out on the way. It so clean! We are going to get away with this. As for you… I believe you are done with.
(Jim slowly approaches Allison, and then shoots her in the head.)
