Fuck this, she's gonna cheat. Opens up Safari, googles STAB IMDB. The link comes up...
VOICE (O.S.) (CONT'D) A non-answer counts as a wrong answer, Tara...
TARA
No, no, no, I just need a second, I just need to think...
The IMDB CAST LIST comes up - a bunch of character names.
None of which she knows. Shit! It's probably not Sidney,
Gale, Dewey, Randy, Tatum, Billy, who's a big enough name...?
VOICE (O.S.) Time's up, Tara-
TARA
(best guess) Heather Graham!
She's looking at an entry - Casey Becker - Heather Graham.
A long beat. If we don't know the movies, we don't know if she's right or wrong either, but...
VOICE (O.S.)
Correct! You pulled that one out! Now, for the Final Question: who was the killer in Stab 1?
On Tara, as her whole demeanor brightens with victory! Glances at the IMDB to confirm it, but she knows it!
TARA
I know this one, you fuck! It's Billy Loomis! He was Sidney's boyfriend and he planned the whole thing and he was played by Luke Wilson and I got you, asshole! I got you, and I got this right!
She bursts into laughter, giddily.
Oooooh, I'm sorry, Tara, but that's just not correct.
TARA
What?! No, no, no, it is, it is-
VOICE (O.S.)
The correct answer is Billy Loomis and Stu Macher. There are two killers in the original Stab. I'm afraid someone's gotta die now.
TARA No! No!
Tara snatches a knife from the island, and runs for the front door! She's gotta save Amber! Unlocks the doors with the home security app, then presses the EMERGENCY button to trigger an alert to the police!
Calling Amber as she runs, hurling open the door...
TARA (CONT'D)
Answer the phone, Amber!
...to find GHOSTFACE standing right there waiting for her!
Tara SCREAMS as Ghostface BURIES A KNIFE in her stomach! On instinct she swings her hand with her phone and catches him in the jaw! He reels back, pulling the knife out of her gut!
Tara stumbles back into the house, looking down at the knife wound. Blood blooming on her shirt. Like a bad dream. Looks up - Ghostface is CHARGING HER!
She holds up her own knife but he knocks it away and slams her back into the kitchen island!
She grabs a blender and slams it into his head! He goes down, grabbing her belt, pulling her to the ground too! She claws at him, trying to get away...
They both see the fallen butcher knife. Both reaching for it. She knees him in the balls. But he scoops it up. She rolls on her back as he STABS IT DOWN right at her face...
...on instinct, she raises her right hand to protect herself and the blade goes right through it! Slicing through her palm, halting it before it reaches her face!
Tara, staring in shock at the steel blade protruding from the back of her hand, inches from her face. Blood gouts.
Horrifying. She screams and kicks Ghostface off her.
