(INT.) HADDONFIELD - 911 DISPATCH OFFICES:
Showing the DISPATCHER you begin to HEAR the scary
situation on the other end of the line, unfolding.
CLERK (V.O)
Oh my GOD! He's back! What do?
I do!
As the DISPATCHER begins her dialogue you begin to HEAR
what sounds like the CLERK being brutally beaten with
the PHONE.
FEMALE DISPATCHER
(worried)
Do you have anything? To defend
yourself with! You have all the
authority to use lethal force. In
Self Defense!
CLERK (V.O)
NO! Don't! Please! Stop! NO!
The FEMALE DISPATCHER then horrified at gory SOUND of
the CLERK being brutally beaten and pleading for his
life, she decides to RADIO out the situation.
FEMALE DISPATCHER
(radio)
I have a CLERK being attacked at
the Fill'er Up station on route 31.
He said there is one person already
dead and possibly another. I need
someone respond immediately.
CUT TO:
(INT.) (X) HADDONFIELD - GAS STATION - NIGHT -
THUNDERSTORM:
CLERKS P.O.V. looking up at MICHAEL or JAKE as he tosses
the bloody PHONE aside. SHERRIFF BRACKETT responds to
the FEMALE DISPATCHER's radio plea.
SHERRIFF BRACKETT (V.O)
I need as many units to respond on
this one. It's JAKE, I'm 10 minutes
away. We can't let the son of a
bitch get away. Get there NOW!
It then shows a quick shot of the CLERK still alive, but
covered in blood, missing some teeth, and the floor all
around him splattered with blood.
CLERKS P.O.V. as he's shaking and very weak, he reaches
under the counter and pulls out a SHOTGUN and slowly
lifts it aiming it at MICHAEL or JAKE, like he barely
has the strength to lift the GUN, and begins to say.
CLERK
DIE!
As the CLERK says DIE, with the barrel of the shotgun
pointed up at MICHAEL or JAKE, MICHAEL or JAKE arrogantly
cocks his head.
Then with a QUICK CAMERA ACTION grabs the GUN and flips
it around shoving the barrel into the CLERKS HEAD, that
goes into his skull. (he can pull the trigger or not.)
After the MURDER it shows MICHAEL or JAKES legs walking
back towards the door.
Switching to a shot focused on the CLERKS face, now dead
you HEAR the heavy FOOTSTEPS as MICHAEL or JAKE head
towards the door slowly, with the sound of the FEMALE
DISPATCHER on the phone (V.O. improvising), and then
the SOUND of the BUZZER as he exits. As the shot remains
on the deceased CLERK.
FADE to BLACK about 3 or 4 seconds after the buzzer
sounds indicating MICHAEL or JAKE left.
FADE OUT:
SCENE #14 MICHAEL'S ALIVE
FADE IN:
(EXT.) HADDONFIELD - GAS STATION - NIGHT - THUNDERSTORM:
It comes out of the black screen as if some time has
passed, with the CAMERA set up across the street, that
shows an OFFICER taping off the gruesome scene, with 3
or 4 POLICE CARS and their lights flashing, parked in
front of the gas station.
CUT TO:
(INT.) HADDONFIELD - GAS STATION - NIGHT - THUNDERSTORM:
P.O.V. from the DEAD CLERK, looking towards where MICHAEL
or JAKE stood killing him, and in their place SHERRIFF
BRACKETT's standing and is becoming increasingly agitated
with the rising body count.
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
The GOD damn son of a bitch is
worse than his brother! Fucking
nut job runs in that shitty
bloodline, that's for sure. Michael
took my daughter! Well I'm taking
the cock suckers, Brother!
SHERRIFF BRACKETT then flings a small shelf off the
counter in frustration that flies out into the store.
The STORE MANAGER arrives in a pajama get up, and enters
the building. Seeing the SHERRIFF's outburst.
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
Sorry about that! We'll just
pretend like that happened earlier.
It's been a rough couple of days!
The STORE MANAGER ignores SHERRIFF BRACKETT at first,
and rushes over to see the CLERKS body. The STORE
MANAGER places his hand on his forehead in shock.
STORE MANAGER
What am I going to tell his mother?
He was such a good kid.
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
Don't you worry about that, we'll
take care of letting her know!
STORE MANAGER
Yeah! She needs to know before the
news station picks up on it. I'm
sure they're on their way, already.
I knew I shouldn’t have let the
kid, work the late shift. He wanted
to pull a double, so he could have
some extra money for some damn
video game.
SHERRIFF BRACKETT puts his arm on the STORE MANAGER.
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
Stop beating yourself, up! It's not
your fault. Let's take a look at
those surveillance tapes, just to
make sure, and get a print out of
this son of a bitch.
They head into a back room walking out of the scene.
CUT TO:
(INT.) HADDONFIELD - GAS STATION - BACK ROOM - NIGHT -
THUNDERSTORM:
As they walk in the back room the STORE MANAGER pulls
up a chair in front of a COMPUTER SCREEN.
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
I'm going to have to admit, I'm
getting tired of watching these
damn videos. It's the second God
damn one tonight.
They begin watching the screen as MICHAEL or JAKE walk
into VIEW of the pumps just before killing the YOUNG
MAN. Something catches SHERRIFF BRACKETTS attention.
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
What's that?
STORE MANAGER
What’s what?
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
That right there! In the upper left
of the screen. Can you isolate that?
And then zoom in?
STORE MANAGER
Sure can!
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
It's kind of funny! This gas
station has a high tech computer
surveillance system, but you still
got a damn outhouse!
As the MANAGER ZOOMS IN on the image, it becomes clear
to SHERRIFF BRACKETT, that there is more than one
killer, as it shows two MASKED MEN in the same shot.
