WHAM! The jack is kicked out and the truck bottom nearly smashes Vince's face in.
VINCE (CONT'D) FUCK YOU!!
Then... the engine starts.
VINCE (CONT'D)
No. No fucking way-
Vince rolls out on the driver's side and rises, expecting to find his attacker in the driver's seat...
But GHOSTFACE is waiting in the bed of the truck! He BURIES HIS KNIFE in Vince's face and we SMASH TO:
INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - NIGHT
Sam's eyes shoot open and she JOLTS AWAKE! Dozed off in a chair next to Tara's bed. She looks to her sister, still asleep. Safe. Okay. Looks to the other chair...
Richie sits, airpods in, watching his phone. Moving a lot, really into whatever he's watching. Like he's ducking punches from the bad guy. He blinks, sees she's awake.
RICHIE You okay?
SAM
Bad dream. I thought you were going to the hotel.
RICHIE
Stab's on Netflix, I got sucked in.
(off her look)
What? I want to be prepared.
Sam shakes her head.
SAM
I gotta find a bathroom.
INT. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR - NIGHT
Sam pads down the hall. Very quiet. Passing an empty nurses' station. Finds a bathroom by the elevators...
INT. HOSPITAL BATHROOM - MOMENTS LATER
Sam washes her hands. Splashes cold water on her face. Looks at herself in the mirror... Sees a FIGURE standing behind her and...
It's BILLY LOOMIS. Skeet Ulrich himself, standing there, age appropriate, in our movie and What. The Actual. Fuck?
BILLY
How you doing, Sam? Kind of a fucked up situation, wouldn't you say?
He says it casually. And rather than jumping, Sam just dries her hands and face. Like she's ignoring someone annoying.
BILLY (CONT'D) Gotta be tough for you, everyone talking about me again. And coming back here, opening up old wounds...
She pulls a bottle from her pocket and pops a pill.
BILLY (CONT'D) Anti-psychotics aren't working as well as they used to, are they?
Sam exhales and finally looks at Billy in the mirror.
SAM Fuck you.
BILLY
Booze used to keep me away, but then you had to go to pills and now who knows what it's gonna take?
Sam doesn't respond, just heads for the bathroom door...
BILLY (CONT'D)
When are you going to tell her?
This stops Sam in her tracks.
SAM Tell who?
Billy smiles at her through the mirror.
BILLY
Your sister. When are you gonna tell her why all this is happening?
Sam's jaw works. But before she can respond, her phone rings. She looks at it, grateful for the distraction. Caller ID is Amber Freeman. Sam answers.
