EXT. ROBERTS HOUSE – NIGHT

An old house in the outskirts of Woodsboro in a seemingly nice neighborhood. Billy and James are no longer in their prison uniforms, having gone and stolen some old jeans and t-shirts. Billy approaches the house and rings the doorbell.

The door slowly opens – A HAND HOLDING A GUN IS THERE!

WOMAN: Don't come any closer – I'll shoot!

BILLY: Kate! It's me! It's Billy!

The door opens slightly more. KATE ROBERTS, a middle-aged woman, is standing there eyeing them suspiciously.

KATE: You were arrested.

BILLY: Kate, you know me! Wrongfully so! Please, can we come in? I have to talk to you, ask you some questions!

Kate backs away.

BILLY: Kate, please … for Sidney …

Kate's features soften.

KATE: (sighs) Okay. But I'm not putting the gun down. I'll start some tea.

INT. ROBERTS HOUSE

Billy and James sit awkwardly in the living room. The television is on with the news broadcasting Ghostface's latest threats. Video footage of Downtown Woodsboro shows an absolute war zone.

BILLY: This … there's no words for this …

They hear a small voice.

LITTLE GIRL: (O.S.) You guys are dressed funny. Where are you from?

They turn to see not one, but two little girls standing there in the living room. The one girl who questioned them is blonde, kind of a tomboy in a t-shirt. The second is the spitting image of a little Sidney and has her eyes fixed on Billy, narrowed. Billy, however, brightens up.

BILLY: Jill! How the heck are you?! I haven't seen you since you there this high!

JILL: (eyes narrowed) You stopped coming by. After Sidney died. You said you would never stop being my pal. (points an accusing finger) You lied!

BILLY: I'm sorry, Jill. Things got out of control and –

JILL: (disposition changing suddenly) Wait – I heard they made a movie about you and Sidney!

BILLY: (rubbing the back of his head awkwardly) Oh … yeah. It's called Stab and it's way not appropriate for someone of your age.

SECOND LITTLE GIRL: We happen to be very mature for our age, thank you very much!

JILLY: (nodding in agreement) Yeah! Kirby and I watch horror movies all the time!

BILLY: And Kate lets you?

JILL: I'd like to see her stop us.

James sits there, eyes wide, a little weirded out by this kid. Behind them, Kate returns.

KATE: Billy … we can talk in the parlor. (looks over at James) You there – would you mind terribly watching Jill and Kirbiline? I don't like to leave them alone, Jill sometimes likes to play rough.

JILL: (baring her teeth) I'm a maniac!

INT. ROBERTS HOUSE – PARLOR

Kate sits at a table, pouring hot tea. Billy stands by a mantle, looking at old photographs. Photos of Kate's sister, Maureen Prescott with her husband Neil. They were smiling. But were they really happy together? If so, why did Maureen cheat with Billy's father?

Billy continues walking alongside the mantle, observing the photos – his heart stops. There's a photo of Sidney. And not just any photo – it's a photo of Sidney sitting under a tree, Billy lying with his head on her lap. She's smiling down at him and stroking his hair. Uncomfortable and hurt over the memory – yet still somewhat touched that Kate kept a photo of him – Billy picks up the frame. He traces Sidney's face with his fingers.

KATE: Jill is a lot like her. Wouldn't you say?

BILLY: Well, let's hope that the resemblance ends at their looks!

KATE: Sidney wasn't born a murderer. She became what her circumstances created her to be.

BILLY: (placing the picture back) She killed people because she chose to kill people. There's no other explanation. No one else to blame.

KATE: I agree to an extent. We all bear the weight of our own choices. (Beat) So – you had some questions for me. And if I'm guessing correctly, it has to do with my family tree?

BILLY: (joining her at the table) The murder – of my coworker. There was a message written at the crime scene. "Maureen Lied."

KATE: (sipping) My sister lied about a lot of things, especially to me.

BILLY: But what do you think the killer meant?

KATE: It's anyone's guess. (Beat) That victim – a few days ago at the movie theater – Roman Bridger. He was one of Maureen's many sins.

BILLY: How so?

KATE: Of course. You haven't seen Stab. It's already breaking box office records especially with the new string of murders. In the film's climax, Roman reveals the truth. He was Maureen's firstborn.

BILLY: Come again?

KATE: Of course, Maureen gave him away for adoption when he was a little baby. That was before she met Neil. But it left a hole in her heart all the same. She used to call me at night, crying her eyes out about how she missed her little boy and how could she just give him away? Yet what could she do? The nightmare of it all was too much for her.

BILLY: What do you mean?

KATE: How can I put this delicately? Maureen was star-hungry in her youth. She wanted to be an actress. John Milton was only too happy to put her in some of his early films – for a price.

BILLY: You mean …

KATE: Roman … was the product of rape. Milton was father.

BILLY: No …

KATE: Maureen felt the guilt of putting him up for adoption. And the rape left her unable to conceive again, sadly.

BILLY: Unable to conceive? But Sidney -?

KATE: Sidney was adopted, dear. I thought you knew that?

BILLY: No. No, she never told me.

KATE: Hmm, wouldn't surprise me if Maureen kept that from her too. But I was with her at the adoption agency. I had to sign off as a witness that she was an able mother. Sidney was a bright and beautiful baby.

BILLY: "Maureen Lied." Sidney didn't know she was adopted! Maureen lied to her, told her she was her own biological daughter!

KATE: Sounds like something my sister would do.

BILLY: Do you know who her real parents were?

KATE: Maureen wouldn't tell me. Only said that the father was some loser cop who abandoned the birth mother as soon as he found out she was pregnant with Sidney.

BILLY: Fuck.

KATE: You know I don't like that language, dear.

BILLY: We killed Sidney. Now her real father – or mother, even – is back! They're not ashamed that their daughter was a killer! They're proud of if! And as Roman was going to reveal the truth that he was Maureen's son in Stab, the killer is going to reveal that he was Sidney's real parent – live on television! He wants a national audience for this! Then he'll kill me and Tatum in front of the entire country! To avenge Sidney! Oh, it all makes sense …

KATE: Billy, you're getting a little too excited – maybe you should –

BILLY: (standing up) Thank you for the tea and info! I gotta go!

INT. ROBERTS HOUSE – LIVING ROOM

James is watching the news with Jill and Kirby on either side of him. They watch as more fires rage.

KIRBY: Wicked!

JAMES: No. Not wicked. Like I said, you guys are too young –

KIRBY: Who invited this lame-o?

JAMES: Lame-o? I was in the front row of Led Zeppelin –

JILL: Who?

JAMES: Famous musicians.

JILL: Oh. Fame. Who needs it?

JAMES: Who needs fame? Adoring fans? Lots of money? None of those things sound appealing to you?

JILL: Yeah, but you gotta be a famous movie star or something to be famous.

JAMES: Billy's famous.

JILL: He is not.

JAMES: He is too! That movie Stab is about him!

JILL: Well then how did Billy get famous?

JAMES: All he had to do was survive a murder spree.

Jill sits there pondering.

JILL: You don't say …?

KIRBY: Who wants to be famous if all your friends are dead?

JILL: Friends? Pffft. I'd rather have fans.

Kirby stares at her for a second, before turning her eyes back to the TV. Billy comes storming in.

BILLY: We gotta go!

JAMES: Did you learn anything?

BILLY: Yes and if I'm right – we gotta find Tatum. Now!

James waves goodbye to the two little girls.

JAMES: Bye Jill! Bye Kirby!

The two kids wave back but James can't help but wonder if he didn't accidentally plant the seeds of something more sinister in Jill, especially with that newfound gleam in her eye …
