PREVIOUSLY ON LIFE UNTIL DAWN

Max: Don't you guys think this is a little bit cruel?

Victoria: Oh come on, she deserves it.

[Max, Chloe, Victoria, Warren, Brooke, and Rachel run out of the front door of the lodge.]

Max: Kate!

Rachel: What's going on? Where's Kate going?

Brooke: It was just a prank, Kate!

[The Stranger is watching the lodge.]

[The girls run to the edge of the mountain.]

[The fall to their deaths.]

Nathan: First off I gotta say I am super excited to welcome all my pals back to the annual Blackwood winter getaway! I really want to spend some quality time with each and every one of you and share some moments that we;ll never forget, for their sake.

Warren: I need to go find Hayden.

[Brooke sees Max and Warren getting close and personal through the binoculars.]

Brooke: Aw fucking asshole!

Victoria: So I got moved to the back! And next to Nathan! That's how we met! Boom: Butterfly effect.


2. JEALOUSY
NINE HOURS UNTIL DAWN

Victoria: Damn Nathan I feel like this mountain gets bigger every time I climb it.

Nathan: Oh yeah? Feels the same to me.

NATHAN. Rachel's boyfriend, and Kate's brother.
Complex. Loving. Driven.

Victoria: Pftt, you grew up here. It probably feels like it's shrinking.

Nathan: I guess that's true.

Victoria: When are you gonna install some cell towers up here? I'm getting withdrawals already.

Nathan: You got a spare million lying around and I'll fix you right up.

Victoria: Funny you should say that... I could ask my Dad for a loan, for the rest of my life.

Nathan: Oops. Hey guys... Get up here okay?

Taylor: Yeah... Well, more or less. But it's so good to see you!

[Nathan notices Brooke looking more pissed off than usual. But when she sees everyone looking at her she just glares at them.]

Nathan: 'Sup with her?


22:00
VICTORIA

PRESCOTT LODGE GROUNDS


Victoria: Yo yo yo! Are we gonna get things moving up here or what?

Nathan: Yeah. You know, Victoria...

Victoria: Yes Nathan?

Nathan: I just wanted to say...

Victoria: What...?

Nathan: It really means a lot to me that everyone came back this year and you know, that you're here, Victoria.

[REASSURING]

Hayden: Nathan. You're my best friend since we were eight. I'll always be here for you. We all will. I know it doesn't seem like it sometimes but we're here for you. Really. Whatever you need. Whenever. We're all gonna make it through this... together.

Nathan: Um... I want us to have a good time, you know...

Nathan: Dammit... This freaking thing...

Victoria: It's iced?

Nathan: What else.

Victoria: Maybe there's another way in.

Nathan: There are a million ways in. They're just all locked.

Victoria: There's gotta be, like, a window round the corner we can get, like, "get open" or something.

Nathan: Wait a second, are you saying we should break in?

Victoria: I don't think it's technically breaking in if you own the place, right?

Nathan: Hey. Not if I don't report you.

Victoria: Umm...

[Nathan laughs and waves down the stairs.]

Nathan: Lead the way, Cochise.

[Victoria walks down the stairs and stops to talk to Taylor.]

Victoria: Hey Sweet-T...

Taylor: Hi Victoria!

Victoria: So... how're you doing?

Taylor: Mm... good! But... a little cold... I think I could use some time curled up by the fire...

Victoria: Yeah... that does sound pretty nice.

[Nathan and Victoria continue on their way up the side of the house to find another way in.]

Nathan: Taylor was looking pretty hot today, right?

[They stop to talk for a moment.]

Nathan: She's like a "sleeper hit" kinda gal, you know?... Now I just want to rip that parka right off her... make some snow angels.

[PROTEST]

Victoria: Hey, cut it out man –

Nathan: I mean if you're not gonna bang her... maybe Chloe'll take up the case. At least we know what side that stud sits.

Victoria: What... what're you talking about?!

Nathan: Oh please it's just me here Victoria... I'm just checking to see if there's some blood flowin' for your "Sweet-T".

Victoria: Tsk yeah... well don't

Nathan: Listen girl. Look around you. Look at these beautiful mountains. Do you see any teachers? Any parents? I mean can you imagine a more perfect, ripe scenario, just dripping with erotic possibilities? You, and Taylor, alone at last... You've been friends for years... She practically spends her entire life with you. Now is the time to let those lesbian sparks fly!

[AGREE]

Victoria: Maybe you're right.

Nathan: You're a hunter, sis. No fear. No mercy. I mean she won't even know what hit her.

Victoria: Alright, alright. I got it. Jeez.

[Victoria laughs at her friends antics and they continue walking.]

Nathan: So how are we planning on breaking in to my parents' lodge, bud?

Victoria: Wait, I didn't say I had a plan –

Nathan: You sounded like you had a plan. You better deliver, Cochise, or else you got five lovely ladies – your lovely self included of course – who are gonna be freezing their buns off, and last time I checked, that's not a good way to get laid.

Victoria: Well shoot. My buns are already cold.

[Victoria spots a broken emergency fire axe on the side of the house. The axe has been torn out.]

Victoria: Hmm...

Victoria: Damn... I'm getting pretty low on juice here. I just had to turn off my GPS!

[Victoria sees a cracked window and gets Nathan to help her push a cabinet towards it so that they can break in.]

Nathan: Well well well. You're more than just a pretty face. Nice one.

[Victoria climbs on top of the cabinet but is wobbly on her feet so Nathan gets up with her to help steady her. They get the window open and Nathan holds her hand as she climbs through the window. On the other side she loses her footing when she places her foot on empty air instead of the table and falls to the ground.]

Victoria: Ugh... I'm okay! I should have paid more attention in climbing class...

Nathan: Huh? You don't even take "gym".

Victoria: Yeah, well, maybe you should have been the one climbing through the freaking window –

[The lights in the room suddenly burst, leaving them in darkness.]

Nathan: Whoa.

Victoria: Did I do that?

Nathan: I don't... I don't think so.

Victoria: Wait a second.

[Victoria fishes out her lighter from her jacket pocket and uses it to light the room.]

Nathan: Whoa – Victoria – I just got an awesome idea.

Victoria: Yeah?

Nathan: Totally!

Victoria: Well what is it?!

Nathan: Okay. So. I am PRETTY sure that I've got some deodorant in one of the bathrooms... you could use THAT with the LIGHTER...

Victoria: I don't - I don't follow. How's a stick of deodorant gonna help?

Nathan: Spray on. It's a can.

Victoria: Ohhh... yeah... Now I gotcha.

Nathan: Flamethrower.

Victoria: Just like we do with the lil' army dudes.

Nathan: Yup. The ones we melted. Just point the spray-can at the lighter and FWOOSH.

Victoria: Bye-bye frozen lock.

Nathan: Bingo. Alright, so you got this. I'm gonna go sort something out – you up for hunting around in the dark for a little bit?

Victoria: No, asshole. But I'll do it.

Nathan: Godspeed, pil'grim.

[Victoria looks around and sees that she's in the storage room. She finds an interesting newspaper fragment on one of the shelves.]

Victoria: So... what have we here...

[ Newspaper:
EX-JANITOR CONVICTED FOR ARSON
SWEARS REVENGE ON MOVIE MOGULS FAMILY
...sentenced to 16 years in prison for aggravated arson committed on Blackwood Pines...
...screaming obscenitiesat Prescott's heavily pregnant wife, Melinda, calling her a "paparazzi whore"... ]

[Victoria walks down the hallway past a family portrait.]

[ Family portrait: From left to right, Kate, Kristine, Melinda, Sean, Nathan. ]

[There are various strange sounds as she walks through the house, spooking her.]

Victoria: Huh? What the hell was that?

[Victoria looks through the front door and sees Brooke and Taylor waiting.]

Victoria: WOOOOooOOooooooOOO!

Brooke: Hi Victoria, very funny.

Victoria: Aw how'd you know it was me?

Brooke: Shouldn't you be, like, getting the lock open or something?

Victoria: On it.

[Victoria sees a light flashing on the answering machine and nosily checks the message.]

Answer Machine: One new message.

Answer Machine: New message.

Detective: Hi Mrs. Prescott – this is Sergeant Tait again. It's bad news, I'm afraid. We've been through the case files, and there's nothing we can do. He's a free man. We don't have the legal power to restrict his movement. I know it's not what you wanted to hear, so call me if you want to know more.

Answer Machine: End of messages.

Victoria: Okay...

[Victoria inspects a prom night photo laying on a cupboard.]

[ Prom night photo:
Left to right, Kate, Chloe, Warren, Max.

04.25.13 Ready for the Senior Prom!
Kate/Chloe/Warren/Max ]

[Victoria looks for the aerosol can in the bathroom upstairs, when she opens the bathroom cupboard a bear shaped dog sized thing jumps out at her.]

Victoria: AHH! Jeeze! What the hell! Ahh.

[After the thing scampers away she finds a spray can stashed away.]

Victoria: Ahh, perfect.

Taylor: We're freezing our buns off out here!

[Victoria uses the can and lighter to heat the lock and loosen the door. She opens the door, bowing.]

Victoria: No need to thank me, bitches. I'll be here all week –

[The bear thing scampers out the door, Victoria screams.]

Victoria: EEEK! Jeez!

Victoria: Dammit.

Taylor: What was it? Are you okay?

Victoria: It was like a, bear, or a tiger or something –

Brooke: It was just a cute little baby wolverine!

Victoria: Baby?

Nathan: Don't worry Viccy, you're gonna be a big girl soon.

[They all enter the house.]

Nathan: Home, sweet home.

Brooke: Sweet is not the word I'd use.

Taylor: Oh my gosh it's SO GOOD to be inside. Even if it's still kinda freezing in here.

Nathan: I'll get a fire going.

Brooke: This place barely looks any different.

Nathan: Nobody's been up here.

Taylor: Even with all the police coming in and out?

Victoria: Not a lot of action up here lately.

Nathan: Nope.

[Chloe and Max make a big entrance.]

Chloe: What's up party people!

Max: Heeey!

Nathan: Hey!

[Brooke remembers seeing Max flirting with Warren and hugging him earlier.]

Nathan: Make yourself at home, girls.

Chloe: Yup.

Max: Will do.

Brooke: Yeah. Come on in Maxie. Take a load off. Have whatever you want. You just take whatever you want anyways, right?


22:28
BROOKE

PRESCOTT LODGE


Max: Woah, easy there buddy.

[WARN]

Brooke: Max, stay away from my boyfriend.

Max: Huh – what are you talking about?

Brooke: Stay away from Warren.

Max: Warren? Why would I want anything to do with Warren?

[Warren walks into the room in the middle of their argument carrying his bag, he sets it down and quietly sees what's going on.]

Brooke: Seriously? Can you be any more obvious? Stay away from my man, honey.

Max: Excuse me, what are you saying?

[ATTACK]

Brooke: Are you just playing dumb, or are you actually just a stupid cow?

Max: Wow, cuts real deep calling Miss Homecoming a cow.

Warren: B, come on –

Brooke: Shut up, Warren.

Max: Oh my god stop putting him down. No wonder your toys are looking elsewhere for comfort.

Brooke: You put on your good girl Max routine, but you're just a bitch like the rest of us.

Max: Whatever. I don't give a crap what you think.

Brooke: At least I can think. 4.0, bitch, honor roll. Suck on that when you're a broke-ass art major scrambling for a job.

Warren: Brooke! Stop! This is out of hand. There's no reason to fight like this!

Max: Yeah quit being such a bitch, B, nobody wants you here –

Brooke: Fuck you –

[Brooke attacks Max, pulling her hair and kicking her.]

Max: Hey! Hey! Get off of me!

[Nathan pulls the two girls apart.]

Nathan: HEY! What the hell is wrong with you two? We didn't come back here just to tear each others heads off. I mean, we came back here to have a good time, right?

Nathan: Chloe – why don't you take Max and go check out the guest cabin. The one I told you about.

Chloe: Yeah... Yeah, alright.

[Chloe stands up and holds out her hand to Max for her to join her.]

Chloe: Want to go do that?

Max: Hell yeah. Any place without this drama.

Nathan: It's right up the trail.

Warren: Phew!

[Warren holds his hands to his head and mimes his brain exploding.]

Warren: ...Glad that's over.

Nathan: Yeah.

Warren: So Nate... Uh, should we get this fire going?

Brooke: Where's my bag?

Warren: Huh?

Brooke: My bag! The... the little bag with the pink pattern! The one I got on Rodeo! Warren are you listening? Oh my god, don't you remember? Next to the Italian shoe place where I got the stilettos and you knocked over the rack while you were drooling all over that girl at the counter?

Warren: Well, I mean, she was asking me about my letter jacket –

Brooke: Right. Because she gave a shit about your "designer" letter jacket.

Warren: Why do you hate my jacket?

Brooke: WARREN I need my BAG!

Warren: Oh my god B, maybe you just forgot it –

Brooke: Do you seriously think I'd forget my bag?

Warren: Well, I-

Brooke: Do you?

Warren: Guess not.

Brooke: You must have left it down by the cable car station.

Warren: Ugh.

Brooke: C'mon, hun. We'll be back soon.

Warren: And then we can get warm?

Brooke: We can get very warm.

Warren: Okay. Okay. Let's go.

[Hayden, who was staying out of that whole mess by sitting on the center stairs stands up.]

Hayden: Okay, I am gonna take a bath.


[Chloe and Max exit out of one of the side entrances to the lodge.]

Chloe: Exiled.

Max: Sex-iled.

Chloe: Works for me.

Max: Brr... How far is this "cabin" anyway?

Chloe: This cabin... is the coziest, most romantic, love den you will ever lay your eyes on.

Max: Psh... if we ever make it.

Chloe: Oh, I have a feeling lucks on our side.

Max: Play your cards right and maybe you will get lucky.

[Nathan opens the back door to throw them the keys to the cabin.]

Nathan: Hey! Porn stars! You're gonna need these.

Max: Porn star?

Nathan: I'd pay to see it.

Max: Uh, gross?

Nathan: Sorry to kick you out like that –

Chloe: No worries man.

Nathan: Oh I'm sure you'll find a way to entertain yourselves.

Max: Mmm-hmmmm... you have fun with the peanut gallery.

[Nathan mimes shooting himself in the head, and... shooting a basketball?]

Nathan: Oh! Almost forgot. Gotta fire up the generator so you can see where you're going. It's dark out there.

Chloe: Alright. Roger that.

[Nathan goes back inside.]

Max: I think Nathan was flirting with me.


22:43
MAX

PRESCOTT LODGE GROUNDS


Chloe: Mmkay. You want to invite him up with us?

Max: Wait... really?

Chloe: What?! No!

[They walk down the stairs but Max pauses when she sees a good view.]

Max: Hey. Hot lips. Photobooth?

Chloe: Alright! Read my mind.

Max: Here, your arms are longer, monkey-girl.

[Max gives Chloe her camera to take a selfie with.]

Chloe: Okay... how do you even work this ancient thing?

Max: Just push the button on top.

[Chloe takes a cute photo of them, it pops out the bottom, processing. Max takes a look at the Polaroid.]

Max: Oh. My god. This is perfect. We're like, the cutest couple!

Chloe: Damn girl. Forget taking the photos. You should be a model.

Max: You keep that camera handy and maybe I'll let you start my portfolio... at the cabin.

Chloe: Wink emoji!

[They continue walking.]

Max: Brrr. It is freezing out here...!

Chloe: Now that's something I can help you with.

Max: And how're you gonna do that?

Chloe: I got a few things in mind.

[Chloe stops walking and looks at Max seriously.]

Chloe: So what the heck was all that muscle-flexing back there with you and Brooke?

[EVASIVE]

Max: Ah, you know, just a little peacock action for my grrl.

Chloe: Oh really. That was all just to impress me?

[Max starts flexing like a maniac.]

Max: Well, you gotta show off the goods when you got 'em.

Chloe: Mmm... okay you seemed pretty P.O.'d there, stud.

[EVASIVE]

Max: No, no, I was just trying to put some distance, you know?

Chloe: Seemed like you just needed an excuse.

[They keep walking and find the generator in a small shack to the right of the path, which Max turns on.]

Max: Boom! Nice one Maxie.

Chloe: Woo! You are a wizard!

[When they leave the shack we see the Stranger watching them through a window. Max pushes the button on the gate that was blocking their way and unlocks it letting Chloe pass her.]

Max: Kazam, the gates shall open.

[Chloe brings out her phone and starts playing some punk-rock song.]

Chloe: Pretty good right?

Max: Yeah, totally! This is... awesome.

Chloe: Awwww yeah... I bring the hits.

[Max takes a peek at Chloe's butt. They cross a bridge over a river.]

Chloe: You psyched yet? You don't look psyched yet!

Max: I am so psyched right now!

Chloe: It's like a little adventure... a sexcapade.

Max: Fuh!


22:46
CHLOE

PATH TO CABIN


[They reach a tree covered in police tape.]

Max: Police tape.

Chloe: From Rachel and Kate.

Max: You think they'd clean it up...

Chloe: Well, they never closed the investigation.

Max: Okay, I'm getting the creeps now.

[ASK]

Chloe: It's all such a blur. I can barely remember what happened.

Max: Well, what I remember is that you guys played a stupid half baked prank that probably got Kate and Rachel killed.

Chloe: Hey, I mean, it's not my fault they ran into the woods.

Max: Yeah... How could anyone have expected them to do a dumb thing like that?

[They continue walking when they hear a loud monstrous scream.]

Max: Holy cow. Did you hear that?

Chloe: I heard... something. Yeah.

[They reach a roadblock.]

Chloe: Ah... damn. I don't think we can get up to the cabin with the path blocked like this –

Max: Oh no way am I going back to the lodge a.k.a. wax museum to drink hot chocolate with Brooke.

[Max leans her weight against a wooden wall when it breaks and she falls down into the mine shaft.]

Max: WHUAAOHH – AHHH!

Chloe: MAX! Fuck! Hey, SuperMax!?

Max: Yep! Hey! I'm okay!

Chloe: Holy crap you scared the heck out of me.

Max: How do you think I felt!

Chloe: Er, you didn't hit your head or anything?

Max: As far as I can tell I still have all seven of my limbs!

Chloe: Yeah. Can you get out?

Max: Uhhh... I don't know. I can hardly see anything down here...!

[HEROIC]

Chloe: Alright, comin' after ya, just stay put!

[Chloe jumps down off the 8 foot ledge to the mine shaft.]

Chloe: Umpfh.

Max: Hey beautiful, wanna help me move this cart thing?

[They both push on the cart to get it moving along the tracks.]

Chloe: Alright.

Chloe: When I imagined us grunting together this is not what I pictured...

[They walk along the tracks when a cart comes barreling towards them.]

Max: Ahhh!

Chloe: Ah!

[Chloe braces herself against it, making it come to a stop.]

Chloe: Whoa whoa whoa! Ah!

Max: Holy crap! Oh my gosh, are you okay?

Chloe: Ah... Yeah. Yeah I'm fine.

Max: Woah nellie, this place is givin' me the willies.

Chloe: Can I offer you a little comfort and reassurance?

Max: Save it for the cabin, hero.

[Chloe finds a fresh cigar butt by some candles on a barrel.]

Chloe: Huh, stogies.

Max: Weird place to hang out and smoke cigars.

Chloe: It's recent. Wonder who was up here.

[Chloe also finds a strange mystical symbol on the wooden wall by the barrel.]

Chloe: Whoa. This place is like... historical.

Max: Holy bat cave.

Chloe: It's gotta be Native American, right?

Max: I don't think the miners were getting their art'n'crafts on, no.

[Part of the ceiling caves in, almost falling right on Max, but Chloe pulls her out of the way.]

Chloe: Ahh!

Max: AHH!

Chloe: Ho! Shit! You alright?

Max: Yeah... Close one.

Chloe: I don't think this place is up to code.

Max: Yeah, I'm thinking it's time to go.

[Chloe finds a Mine Danger Map, showing 6 different major areas at risk.]

Chloe: Jesus. This place is a real fixer upper.

[Max leads the way to a exit from the mine.]

Max: Finally! A little ray of hope.

[They continue following the path towards the cabin.]

Max: Well well. When Nathan said "cabin" I thought like, Abe Lincoln.

Chloe: Wait'll you see the Lincoln Bedroom.

Max: Oh are you planning on getting presidential on me?

Chloe: Eh, wanna take a ride on Air Force One?

Max: Haha, alright alright, save it for the stump speech, buddy.

Max: Oooh, a telescope! Gonna look at the trees... gonna look at the clouds... gonna look at the cabi-... Uh. Whoa.

Chloe: What's wrong?

Max: I just saw someone at the cabin.

[Chloe checks the binoculars.]

Chloe: Okayyy? Let me see.

[A weird creature appears in the sights, causing Chloe to pull away from the thing.]

[Chloe reads a National Park board.]

[ National Park Board:
BLACKWOOD PINES

Inhabitants of the mountain
Northwestern Wolf
Grizzly Bear
Rocky Mountain Elk. ]

Chloe: Hey Max?

Max: Mmm-hmm?

Chloe: Stay close by, okay?

Max: What's up?

Chloe: Ah... this posting says there's some brown bears up here sometimes.

Max: Oh Chloe! I have the BEST idea!

Chloe: What?

Max: Let's go hug a bear. Please. Come on. Please.

Chloe: Uh... Let's not hug a bear!

[They continue walking to the cabin. A crow flies past Chloe, scaring her.]

Chloe: OH!

Max: Watch out, bird-brain!

[WITTY]

Chloe: I was just... just answering it's mating call.

Max: Wow, you're easy.

Chloe: Yeah. Got a lotta love to give.

Chloe: [to herself] I was scared.

[They see a signpost pointing towards the cabin. Chloe sighs when she sees the path is blocked.]

Chloe: Goddammit Nathan, couldn't you have at least cleared out the path before sending us up here?

Max: Really?

Chloe: What?

Max: You're generally not the glass half empty type.

Chloe: You got a better idea?

Max: Stand back, Debbie Downer.

[Max jumps up on top of the tree blocking the path.]

Chloe: Oh, boooooo! Show off!

[Max picks up a snowball.]

Max: Hey Chloe. You got something on your face.

[She throws it at Chloe.]

Max: Boom, shakka brah!

[Chloe bends down to make her own snowball.]

Chloe: Okay, okay. Well. If that's how it's gonna be.

[When she stands up, Max isn't there anymore.]

Chloe: Max?

[Max screams.]


[Setting: Prescott lodge bathroom. Hayden is getting ready to take a bath.]

Nathan: Hayden!

Hayden: Whaaaat?

Nathan: You wanna help me get this fire going?

Hayden: Uhhmmmm well. I was just getting into the bath-

Nathan: Oh! Well good luck with that.

Hayden: Yep.


22:44
HAYDEN

PRESCOTT LODGE


[Hayden twists the nozzles on the bath, but the water is cold.]

Hayden: Come on. Alright Nathan. Let's see if you know how to hook up the hot water in your big fancy lodge.

[On his way downstairs he hears a weird noise.]

Hayden: Whoa... What was that?

[In the top floor of the main room, Hayden can hear Nathan, Victoria, and Taylor talking to each other.]

Nathan: Come on..

Victoria: How long do you think it'll take him?

Taylor: My money's on blankets for everyone!

Victoria: You can do it, man. We believe in you.

Taylor: Yeah! Totally! Woo! Let's go Na-than, let's go!

Nathan: Aright, peanut gallery, you know what? I got an idea for you two.

Taylor: What?

Nathan: Okay well I am pretty sure that somewhere in this crazy place we used to have... a spirit board.

Taylor: A what?

Victoria: Wow you have a "spirit board"?

Nathan: Yeah yeah. The're fun, right?

Victoria: Those things are a joke, man. They don't do shit.

[Hayden is walking down the last steps to join the others.]

Nathan: No way. We used to do it all the time. Me and... well...

Hayden: Hey Nathan. No hot water's kinda a major oversight doncha think...?

Nathan: Yeah yeah, just gotta fire up the boiler. It's in the basement.

Nathan: You guys see if you can find the spirit board.

Taylor: Victoria, let's go find it! It'll be like a scavenger hunt!

Victoria: Ummm... okay... guess so.

Nathan: Rad. You're not gonna regret it. You up for a ride-along bro?

Nathan: Hey. You notice how I gave Victoria and Taylor a mission together? Yeah I was thinkin' they could use some "alone time".

[FLATTERING]

Hayden: They are pretty cute together. I wish they'd just freakin get on with it though.

Nathan: I swear they just need like... something to bond over, y'know? Some sort of traumatic event to send them into each other's arms. I mean at this rate they'll be in the geriatric ward before Victoria makes a move.

Hayden: Hah! Yeah.

[GOSSIP]

Hayden: So Warren and Brooke are a thing now, right?

Nathan: Yeah, so it seems.

Hayden: I mean, what's Max think of that?

Nathan: I have a feeling Max already has her hands full. What I would give to be in that room with them...

Hayden: Huh.

[They walk down the stairs to the basement.]

Nathan: Watch your step.

Hayden: I think I can handle some stairs bro.

Nathan: Uh-huh.

[Nathan unlocks the controls to the boiler and messes around with some knobs.]

Nathan: Sorry to drag you down into the bowels.

Hayden: Just get this hot water working and I will be a happy man.

Nathan: I mean you wouldn't want to be coming down here on your own, you know?

Hayden: Yeah, it's pretty creepy down here.

Nathan: Yep.

Nathan: Not a place to be on your own.

[Hayden finds a baseball bat leaning against the boiler controls.]

[HUMOROUS]

Hayden: Be pretty rough playing baseball out in all that snow.

Nathan: No, it wasn't in the winter, genius. I mean, we'd come up in the summer and we would have the best time – the whole family was there, mom, dad, Kristine... Kate, Rachel... It was some serious competition out there on the big lawn.

Nathan: I don't know. Can't go back... New reality. Right Hayden?

Nathan: Anyway, I'm supposed to be fixing this old guy, right?

[Nathan gets back to messing with the controls and hands Hayden the torch.]

Nathan: Here, can you... can you hold this?

[There's a weird noise in the basement.]

Hayden: What was that?

Nathan: What was what? Just shine it here so I can see what I'm doing.

[Hayden turns around at another noise.]

Nathan: Hey... Can you just keep the light so I can see, okay?

Nathan: Thanks.

Nathan: Okay, first things first: we gotta increase the water pressure before we can get the boiler fired up.

Hayden: Sounds kinda complicated.

Nathan: No it's actually pretty simple.

[Hayden turns the water pressure up and pushes the fire button in time.]

Hayden: Whoa!

Nathan: That's it. Alright bro!

[Nathan holds up his fist, and Hayden pounds it.]

Nathan: Yeah!

[Nathan shuts the boiler control cabinet. They hear another weird noise.]

Hayden: What the hell is that...?

Nathan: Could be a lot of things... and none of them nice...

Hayden: Whatever.

Nathan: You sound freaked out. Are you scaaared?

[PRANK]

Hayden: Oh my God—

Hayden: Don't move—

Nathan: What-?

Hayden: Something behind you...

Nathan: Yeah right.

[INSIST]

Hayden: Nathan... Seriously. There's something back there.

[Nathan turns around to check.]

Hayden: Ha... Got—ch—ah.

Nathan: Alright. Alright. Your point.

Hayden: Thirty—Love.

Nathan: What? No... Where'd you get the first point?

Hayden: It doesn't start at thirty?

Nathan: No. Fifteen.

Hayden: Oh. Well, fuck tennis.

[There's another weird noise.]

Hayden: Okay, so you hear that too, right? Nathan...?

Nathan: ...What?

Hayden: The rhythm's like, weirdly regular...

Nathan: Not... No... Nothing "regular" about it...

[HEROIC]

Hayden: I'm gonna check it out.

Nathan: What? Why?

Hayden: What do you care, chicken?

Nathan: It's probably just like not anything.

Hayden: Why don't you hold down the fort while I make sure?

Nathan: Okay, whatever you say.

[Hayden checks out the noise when someone in a hockey mask pops out at him.]

Nathan: Whoa – Hayden – Whoa-

[Hayden pushes a canister in their pursuers way, causing them to trip over it.]

[Hayden and Nathan sprint up the basement stairs, try opening the door, and start banging on it when they find out it's locked.]

Hayden: Oh come ON now why are these doors locked?!

Nathan: To keep out strangers!

[The hockey mask "stranger" has the mask in their hand and reveals themselves to be Victoria.]

Victoria: Hey...

Hayden: ...What? ... What the hell?!

Victoria: Boom! You just got monked!

Hayden: Jesus, what the fuck.

Nathan: Nice. Nice one. That was good.

Hayden: Why w... what if I hit you Victoria, why would you do that?

Victoria: Pft, you wouldn't. There's all this cool movie stuff down here. What, was I... was I not supposed to take advantage of the opportunity?

Hayden: Are you serious? Were you in on this you dick?

Nathan: Nope. But I wish I was! That was too good.

[Nathan and Victoria high five each other.]

[They get out of the basement, back to the main level of the lodge.]

Hayden: I'm ready to admit your dumb prank may have had a slight whiff of humor to it.

Victoria: Jokemaster!

Hayden: I said nothing about jokes. I said your prank, which was dumb-

Nathan: Holy crap you were scared. Admit it.

Hayden: I was not.

Nathan: Come on, you totally pissed yourself!

Hayden: Nathan!

[Taylor skips over.]

Taylor: What... in gods name... are you wearing?

Victoria: I found my true calling.

[Victoria bows, hands in prayer.]

Taylor: Please tell me you're going to take a vow of silence.

[Taylor holds her hands up in prayer, and then Victoria mimes saying words.]

Taylor: Okay okay... Did you at least find the thingy.

Victoria: Sh-bang! Here's our one way ticket to the spirit realm...!

[Victoria pulls the Ouiji board from out of her monk clothes.]

Taylor: Hmmm.

Hayden: You know what? I'm good. I've just been through enough spooking for one night. I see a hot bath in my crystal ball. Have fun, guys and gals.

Nathan: Hmmm.

[Hayden waves goodbye and heads upstairs to the bathroom.]

Hayden: Oh but watch out for that Nathan. He's a schemer.

Nathan: Ok.


[Cut to when Brooke and Warren first leave the lodge from the front door.]

Brooke: Hello, earth to Warren? You gonna come with me to get my bag?


22:51
WARREN

PRESCOTT LODGE GROUNDS


Warren: Yeah. Yeah I'm coming.

[Warren opens the gate.]

Warren: Here you are, madam.

Brooke: Why thank you, sir.

Warren: Hey, B?

Brooke: Yeah?

[DISMISS]

Warren: I think we should start the weekend over. Right now. Clean slate.

Brooke: Oh?

Warren: No arguing, no Max, no Chloe. Just you and me enjoying ourselves in all this nature.

Brooke: Oh you mean, "Au naturel?"

Warren: Damn straight.

Brooke: I can get with that.

[They keep walking down towards the cable car station when they trip light sensors, causing a huge security beam to light their way.]

Warren: Okay! Alright...

[Brooke takes a right, leading Warren away from their destination.]

Brooke: Hey! Doofus! Come this way.

[FLIRT]

Warren: You, er, trying to get me somewhere private?

Brooke: Why don't you come find out.

Brooke: Warren...?

Warren: Yeah?

Brooke: Thanks for helping me find my bag... I know I can be a little high maintenance.

[BOAST]

Warren: It's no prob babe. But you gotta remember there's more to this guy than just bein' a lean, mean, luggage lifting machine.

Brooke: You gonna back that up?

Warren: All day.

Brooke: What?

Warren: All day.

Brooke: Wait what does that mean?

Warren: Like, "all day... long". I was bein' like... sexy?

[Brooke has lead Warren to a secluded, romantic spot.]

Warren: Huh, cool.

Brooke: Oooh it's so pretty out here tonight...!

Warren: Wow... yeah.

Brooke: And it's so nice to be with you, wonder boy.

[Brooke approaches Warren for a hug and a kiss.]

Warren: I'm not just brains, I've got these guns as well...

Brooke: That's why we're good together, babe. Anyway, I wanna see this brawn I've been hearing so much about.

Warren: You ever done it outside before?

Brooke: Outside of what?

Warren: My car.

Brooke: I like your car. Roomy.

Warren: This ain't roomy enough for you?

[Warren starts swiping snow off the park bench to fuck on.]

Brooke: Ah... You know what? Maybe there's a better spot.

Warren: Does this "spot" start with a "G"?

Brooke: There are lotsa places out here-

Warren: I already started clearing this off for us. Like a gentleman.

Brooke: Come on, let's look around-

[Brooke leads him away and they talk in the middle of a small wooden bridge.]

Warren: What's so important in the bag anyways?

Brooke: It's just my undies. The lacy ones...!

[IMPATIENT]

Warren: Well why didn't you say we were scooping up such precious cargo? Andale, andale!

Brooke: Woah, nellie, didn't realize it was so important to you-

Warren: Didn't reali- Uhhh Hellooo? Why do you think I'm even on this silly trip?

Brooke: Ohhh-kay. Well, now I know the secret ot getting you to do what I want, when I want. Duly noted.

Warren: Not a secret. True fact.

[Warren walks up the stairs towards a creepy native American totem.]

Brooke: Look at the sexy kisser on this thing. Dare you to put your hand in it.

[Brooke walks up to it and puts her face right near its mouth to get a good look.]

Warren: Hey I wouldn't-

Brooke: Just slide it up in there-

[Brooke moves her hand closer and closer to its mouth when suddenly her arm is pulled into the thing.]

[RESCUE BROOKE]

Warren: BROOKE! BROOKE!

Brooke: Haha! Gotcha ya big dip.

Warren: Jesus. You're ridiculous.

Brooke: Oh come on...

[They hear a loud monstrous scream, the same that Max and Chloe hear.]

Brooke: What was that?

Warren: Uh, not sure... Probably just an animal, or...

[They go back down the stairs and take the other path, Warren drops down from the ledge and helps Brooke get down as well.]

Warren: Here you are, madam.

Brooke: Thank you. Oh my. Very impressive.

[Brooke and Warren come across a beheaded pig wrapped up in wire, tied to a pole with a note hanging from it.]

Brooke: Hey... What the hell?

Warren: Somebody made a snowman.

Brooke: Uh... that was not there before. Is that a note?

[ Note: WELCOME BACK ]

Warren: Whoa.

Brooke: Uhhhh...

[Brooke wraps her arms around herself.]

Warren: It's gotta be Victoria. Or Nathan. They're just trying to mess with us.

Brooke: Kind of uncool, guys. I don't like this.

Warren: Me neither.

[The lights go out leaving them in darkness.]

Warren: Hohhh!

Brooke: WARREN!

Warren: The hell is going on? What the hell did this?

Brooke: You know. I'm kinda not giving a shit about my panties anymore. Kinda just wanna split.

Warren: Agreed.

[They spin around in circles, returning the way they came.]
