INT. ANDRESS RESIDENCE - LIVING ROOM - CONT'D
Sidney enters the house through the shattered slide out
door. It's very quiet, the glass cracks beneath her feet
after each step she makes into the living room.
The signs of struggle are visible as household things are all over the floor.
A bookshelf turned over with books scattered on the floor.
Sidney looks around, getting impatient, she begins to call out to the killer...
SIDNEY
Here I am! Come out and fucking show yourself!
A crack of glass is heard from behind.
Sidney immediately turns her attention behind her to see Kirby stumble into
the house, through the broken slide out door.
Although she doesn't show it, Sidney is terrified. Not for her life, but the one's
she cares about.
Sidney lets out a sigh of relief and briefly smiles.
The soundtrack stings!
Just then, Ghostface appears behind Kirby!
Sidney's eyes widen in horror as she screams out to Kirby!
SIDNEY(CONT'D)
(hysterical)
KIRBY! BEHIND YOU!
Kirby turns quick, but Ghostface puts her in a choke hold.
Kirby thrashes and struggles, finally SLAMMING HER FOOT DOWN ON THE KILLER'S
FOOT! This loosens the killer's grip. KIRBY THEN SLAMS THE BACK OF HER HEAD INTO
THE KILLERS FACE!
Just then, Ghostface tightens the choke hold as he HIS KNIFE TEARS STRAIGHT
INTO KIRBY'S STOMACH, TWISTING THE BLADE, SINKING IT DEEPER INTO HER GUT!
Kirby omits a painful look of pure shock in her eyes as THE KILLER RIPS THE BLADE
FROM HER STOMACH!
Sidney can only watch in horror, as she is completely frozen in shock. It all happened
so fast, but she saw it as if it were in slow motion and continuously rewinding in her head.
Kirby falls to the floor as Ghostface releases her.
Sidney begins to back up slowly as she watches the killer clean his blade of Kirby's blood
and quickly turn his attention to her.
Ghostface cocks his head as he looks into Sidney's horrified eyes.
GHOSTFACE
At last, I finally have you!
Before Ghostface has a chance to charge, Sidney backs up then turns, running away,
around the corner, SHE RUNS INTO THE BLADE OF ANOTHER GHOSTFACE! THE BLADE
STABBING DEEP INTO HER STOMACH!
Sidney omits a look of shock in her eyes as THE BLADE IS RIPPED FROM HER GUT!
JUST THEN, THE GHOSTFACE BEFORE HER UNMASKS THEIRSELF, REVEALING. . . .

The soundtrack thuds!
NIKKI!
Nikki sports a menacing smile. Sidney is very surprised and her
face shows it.
SIDNEY
(under her breath)
Nikki...
NIKKI
Damn, I've been waiting for this moment all fucking night!
Sidney holds onto her wound tight as blood seeps between her fingers.
SIDNEY
How could you do this?
NIKKI
Oh, you thought this surprised you... You have NO fucking idea.
Nikki points her knife forward, towards the other Ghostface.
Sidney slowly turns her head, as she is in a lot of pain.
Just then, THE OTHER GHOSTFACE REMOVES THEIR MASK, REVEALING. . . .

JOSH!
The soundtrack thuds!
Josh also sports a sinister grin, only it seems to have hatred behind it.
Sidney is confused as hell at this point.
JOSH
Surprise Sidney... (beat)
Couldn't do the reveal without the iconic line now could we?
NIKKI
Holy shit moment, right?!
Nikki grabs Sidney by the the hair with her knife to Sidney's neck,
walking her into the kitchen. NIKKI THEN PUSHES SIDNEY INTO
THE COUNTER TOP!
Josh meets them in the kitchen, holding Kirby with his knife blade
to her neck. She's still alive, just in a lot of pain. Emotional and
Physical.
JOSH
Look who decided to join the party.
SIDNEY
NO!
JOSH
Relax, she's alive... For now anyways.
Josh then THROWS KIRBY TO THE FLOOR!
JOSH(CONT'D)
(to Nikki)
Keep an eye on her.
SIDNEY
You're supposed to be dead...
JOSH
And there's the kicker... (beat)
Y'see, in order for ALL of this to come together as well as it
did, someone had to be able work on the outside...
And what better cover up than someone that's already believed
to be dead? (beat)
Everyone suspected that there were at least TWO killers, but
never THREE...
NIKKI
That's a new one.
JOSH
While Nikki and Jake played the field, I set up the game...
SIDNEY
So Jake really was in on it?
NIKKI
Unfortunately.
JOSH
But he got too carried away and tried to prove himself, only to
to get his ass handed to him, courtesy of... (points his knife at Sidney)
NIKKI
Fucking idiot...
Sidney looks over to Kirby, who is slightly moving.
JOSH
But, then again, that too went according to plan... Jake gets caught,
the attention turns, and everyone focuses on that... We stay quiet
for a few days and everyone believes it might be over... When in
reality, we're just using our fall guy to set up the finale, the 3rd
and final act of this little... movie.
Nikki then yanks Kirby up by her hair, putting her blade to her throat.
NIKKI
Funny how things come to play.
SIDNEY
What is the play in all of this?
JOSH
You both had parts to play.
(Josh's tone darkens)
Only yours was a little more personal.
SIDNEY
What do you mean?
JOSH
Hmm, does the year '"1998" bring back any FORGOTTEN
memories?
Sidney takes a moment to think about Josh's question.
JOSH(CONT'D)
Funny... You go around insulting people for abandoning their
children, when YOU, yourself abandon your own children.
Sidney's eyes widen as she now realizes what Josh is talking
about.
Kirby is confused as hell.
KIRBY
W-What are you talking about?
JOSH
Sidney knows exactly what I'm talking about, don't you Sidney?
SIDNEY
Go to hell...
NIKKI
Mmm this is getting intense.
JOSH
Why don't you tell her EXACTLY what I'm talking about?
SIDNEY
No...
JOSH
Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough...
Josh pulls a police issue Glock from the back of his pants, pulling
back the hammer, putting it to Sidney's forehead.
JOSH(CONT'D)
... I'm not asking you, I'm fucking telling you!
Now fucking tell her dammit!
SIDNEY
I can't...
Josh then points the gun directly at Kirby's face.
JOSH
If you don't, I'll splatter her fucking brains all over the fucking
place!
Breaking into tears, Sidney screams out...
SIDNEY
... He's my son!
Kirby's face shows confusion on a the highest possible scale.
KIRBY
What?
JOSH
Now was that so hard?
Josh lowers the gun.
SIDNEY
I-I've never told anyone... But after the events at Windsor, I
ended up getting pregnant... From my boyfriend, who lost his
life after getting too close to me... I didn't want a child growing
up in a life like this... A victim, because of me... So I gave him away.
After that, I went into hiding, hoping and praying that I was never
found.
NIKKI
And we all now how that turned out.
KIRBY
Oh my God...
JOSH
That's not even the best part... Tell them how you tried to have me
aborted TWICE...
Sidney begins to breakdown because she now knows that no matter
what, her past will always catch up to her somehow.
JOSH(CONT'D)
... 18 YEARS of my life I spent searching for who I was... I guess it's
true, God does work in mysterious ways.
Kirby is completely fucking mind blown!
SIDNEY
Okay, so I understand why you wanted me... But why Kirby
and her friends? They had nothing to do with this.
NIKKI
I think I played the best friend role pretty good. Wouldn't
You say so, Kirby?
Nikki yanks on Kirby's hair, pulling her head back.
NIKKI(CONT'D)
... Like an actress, putting on a show and none of it real.
Nikki then THROWS KIRBY TO THE FLOOR HARD!
JOSH
Your attachment to Kirby made her an easy target to get
to you and vise versa. As for her friends... Well, they were
just in the way.
KIRBY
What about Lacey, huh? Was she in the way too?
Josh breathes in and sighs, turning to Kirby.
JOSH
Sore subject there... Y'see, I did really care about Lace.
In fact, I couldn't go through with offing her... But it had
to be done.
NIKKI
And that's where I came in. Ooh lust makes one do some pretty
fucked up shit to get what they want.
Nikki strokes her finger around Josh's jawline.
NIKKI(CONT'D)
... Then again, I feel like I've already had this conversation before.
KIRBY
You two are fucked up way beyond therapy!
NIKKI
Why thank you so very much for that very biased compliment.
NIKKI THEN KICKS KIRBY ACROSS THE FACE HARD!
Sidney cringes as she watches Kirby spit blood onto the floor.
Nikki walks back over to Josh.
NIKKI
But we all know Lacey wasn't good enough for Josh anyway.
Not when he can have a girl like me.
KIRBY
More like psychotic bitch.
A smile forms across Josh's face as he and Nikki kiss.
The soundtrack stings!
Just then, JOSH SINKS THE BLADE OF HIS KNIFE DEEP INTO
NIKKI'S STOMACH, TWISTING IT!
NIKKI
W-why?
Josh then leans in and whispers to Nikki...
JOSH
I told you never to mention her again.
JOSH RIPS THE BLADE FROM NIKKI'S GUT THEN TEARS INTO
IT ONCE, BURYING NEARLY TO THE HILT!
JOSH THEN RIPS THE BLADE FROM NIKKI'S GUT, letting her fall to
the floor.
Nikki looks to Kirby.
NIKKI
You're right... This fucking hurts...
Nikki continuously gasps for air as her lungs fill with blood, suffocating
her. She gargles on her own blood until she fades away.
JOSH
Breaking news... Girlfriend of locked up psycho also behind latest spree
of killings.
SIDNEY
You're never gonna get away with this.
JOSH
Of course I am. You obviously haven't been paying attention... I'm
already dead... You know how easy it is to just disappear and change
your name? Fuck, I did it once already... DEREK M. PRESCOTT just
didn't do it for me... I mean who the fuck names their child after
their dead boyfriend? Very poor taste mother. (beat)
UGH! I can't even call you my mother without wanting to puke.
SIDNEY
Leave Kirby out of this. She has nothing to do with it... It's
me you want.
JOSH
To be honest, what I really want is to stab you in the face for every
birthday of mine you missed, for EVERY year after you abandoned
me... You do the math. (beat)
But that would be unprofessional of me to let my emotions get the
best of me...
I mean, you two still have to die, not to mention the others, but
they'll just bleed out at any moment anyways.
SIDNEY
What others?
Josh then pulls his phone from his pocket, tampers with it for a
second then puts it in Sidney's face.
It's a live video feed of Gale and Judy. There whereabouts are still unknown,
but they are still bound to chairs. Gale doesn't look so good, her head is
slumped over. Judy on the other hand, is actively struggling to get free.
While Josh seems to have his attention on Sidney, Kirby sees Nikki's knife and
begins to ease her hands towards it.
JOSH
It looks like Mrs. Weathers doesn't seem to have much fight left in her.
Although, Ms. Hicks doesn't know it, but she's bleeding out pretty quick
as well, on the account of the lacerated artery in her leg.
Sidney sees Kirby reaching for Nikki's knife and begins to stall.
SIDNEY
You're sick, you know that? I don't care if you are my blood or not...
I don't fucking claim you!
Josh's eye begins to twitch as he BACKHANDS SIDNEY TO THE FLOOR, HARD!
Josh breaks out into a sinister laughter.
JOSH
So, will those be your last words to the only family you have
left before I stab you in the fucking throat?
Josh gets in Sidney's face, positioning the point of his knife on her neck.
Kirby grabs the knife!
SIDNEY
No, but will those be yours?
Just then, Kirby strikes at Josh with the knife, LODGING THE BLADE INTO HIS
SHOULDER!
Josh screams out in excruciating pain! Dropping both the gun and knife onto
the floor.
JOSH BACKHANDS KIRBY ACROSS THE KITCHEN! He then RIPS THE KNIFE FROM
HIS SHOULDER!
Josh staggers over to Kirby, standing over her, he begins KICKING KIRBY IN THE
SIDE! OVER AND OVER! Until Kirby spits out a mouth full of blood onto the floor.
Josh stands over Kirby, grips the knife tight and raises it to plunge into Kirby.
JOSH
Why don't you just fucking die already!?
Josh goes to bring the knife down...
Just then, a gun goes off and A BULLET TEARS THROUGH JOSH'S CHEST,
KNOCKING HIM BACKWARDS ONTO THE FLOOR!
Both Kirby and Sidney look to see Nathan, barely holding the gun, while
also holding onto his bleeding stomach. Blood runs down his hand.
NATHAN
Don't fucking touch my sister, mother fucker...
Nathan then collapses to the floor, unconscious.
POLICE SIRENS CAN BE HEARD IN THE DISTANCE.
Sidney then eases her way over to Kirby to check on her.
SIDNEY
You okay?
KIRBY
I've been better.
Sidney cracks a smile but it fades away and Josh begins to mutter laughter.
Sidney gets to her feet and walks over to Josh, looking down on him.
SIDNEY
What's so funny?
JOSH
Do you honestly think that this will just end with me? No, think again...
There are more of us waiting to take my place... In the end, you will lose...
And watch everyone you know and love, die... And there's not a fucking
thing you can do about it.
THE POLICE CRUISERS CAN BE HEARD PULLING UP INTO THE
DRIVEWAY. THE RED AND BLUE FLASHING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE
THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE.
Josh begins to laugh while chocking on his own blood until he fades away,
dead.
The door can heard as it's busted down.
Dewey storms into the kitchen, his gun ready. He checks Nathan's pulse, as
he lays unconscious on the floor, covered in blood.
Dewey calls into his walkie.
DEWEY
I need immediate emergency assistance now! Several wounded...
Dewey sees Josh and Nikki as they lie dead on the floor.
DEWEY(CONT'D)
... And two dead
SIDNEY
Dewey!
DEWEY
Sidney, oh my God...
SIDNEY
Don't worry about me... We gotta find Gale!
DEWEY
What, where is she?!
SIDNEY
I don't know but she hurt really bad and doesn't have
much time... Her and Judy.
DEWEY
Judy too?! Dammit Gale... Why couldn't you just stay out
of this?
SIDNEY
They've gotta be HERE. Somewhere... but we don't have much time...
Dewey thinks quick then pulls out his phone, scrolling through his
contacts, selecting Gale.
DEWEY
If she's here, so is her phone.
[CUT TO]
EXT. ANDRESS RESIDENCE - UNKNOWN - CONT'D
Judy can feel herself getting weak. She looks over to Gale, who is being
very still.
Just then, a distinct ringing omits, alerting Judy. It's coming from Gale's
pocket.
Judy immediately gains a sudden boost of adrenaline as she begins rocking
back and forth, side to side, until her chair falls over, breaking free one of her
hands, which she uses to pull the tape off her mouth, screaming...
JUDY
GALE?! Your phone!
Gale only bobs her head.
The ringing continues.
Judy then pulls herself closer, being able to pull Gale's phone from her pocket,
answering the call.
JUDY(CONT'D)
Oh thank God, Sheriff?!

DEWEY
Judy?! Where are you?
JUDY(O.S.)
I-I don't know... It's dark... There's a red light...
Sheriff, Gale's hurt really bad...
DEWEY
Where were you last that you remember?!
JUDY(O.S.)
W-we were in a barn.
DEWEY
A barn?
KIRBY
Dewey, the barn's in the back.
Just then, Dewey storms out of the house, running to the barn.
Dewey removes the wood plank that held the door locked from the inside,
then enters the barn.
DEWEY
Gale?! Judy?!
Dewey proceeds deeper into the barn.
From above, a disturbance is heard that alerts Judy.
JUDY
Here! We're in here!
Dewey stops for a moment, hearing Judy scream out.
He listens for the sounds, tracing them to a cellar door, covered by
strands of loose hay.
The other officers storm into the area.
Dewey pulls open the cellar door and enters. At the bottom, he finds Judy
and Gale!
Dewey runs over to Judy and cuts her free then immediately runs to
Gale, cutting her free. He then begins to have a breakdown.
DEWEY
GALE?! Look at me! Speak to me, Gale?!
Gale lifts her head slowly. Dewey's teary eyed face cracks a
relieving smile.
DEWEY(CONT'D)
GALE?! Look at me. You're... You're gonna be okay...
GALE
D-D-Dew-ey
DEWEY
Look at me. Stay with me, you stay with me. We're gonna get you
out of here.
GALE
I-I'm s-sorr-y Dew-ey...
DEWEY
No, no there's nothing to be sorry about baby. I'm sorry, I'm
the one who's sorry.
Gale's eyes close and she becomes silent.
DEWEY
(sobbing)
Gale?! No! Stay with me, stay with me. You stay with me...
Oh God... No... NO Gale, you can't leave me... You can't...
Dewey begins breaking out in tears.
DEWEY(CONT'D)
(sobbing)
You just can't... Don't leave me Gale. Please don't
leave me... I love you
Dewey kisses Gale then embraces her, breaking down emotionally.
Gale is gone...
A moment of sadness fills the air. A feeling of emptiness. A
sound of silence.

EXT. ANDRESS RESIDENCE - MORNING
The sun is beginning to rise, a crack of daylight illuminates the surrounding
area, where police cars, ambulances, and news vans flood in.
Nathan is getting loaded an ambulance and Kirby gets in behind him.
A paramedic from the background calls out...
PARAMEDIC
We got a live one!
Just then, a stretcher rolls out of the house, carrying Lisa, who is still alive.
She is then loaded into the ambulance.
Sidney walks over to Dewey, who is emotionally torn apart.
DEWEY
She was right... And I was wrong... I should've listened...
SIDNEY
It's not your fault Dewey... Don't blame this on yourself.
DEWEY
God, she drove me crazy sometimes... But most of the time,
she was always right...
Dewey begins to break down.
Sidney hugs Dewey and they both break out in tears.
DEWEY(CONT'D)
God, I miss her so much...
SIDNEY
I do too... But, she's in a better place now... She'll always
be watching down over us, protecting us like she used
to do... Our own Guardian Gale...
Dewey cracks an emotional smile as he looks up into the sky.
The camera pans out over the house and across the town of
Woodsboro.
