I/E. BEACH - EARLY MORNING

There is a light breeze. The waves crash. Thunder rumbles in
the distance.
A girl sits on a small pile of rocks near the water. The wind
is blowing her hair back.
CARMEN RAY (17, female) is reading WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING by
Delia Owens. Sprinkles of water splash onto her face. Thunder
rumbles.
Carmen sighs and puts a bookmark into the book. She closes
the book and climbs off of the rocks. She grabs her sandals
and walks through the sand.
To her left is a small wooden staircase leading up. A man
stands at the top of them.
MAN
Hey girl, come on up here. The
storm is rolling in.
Carmen stops walking and looks at the man.
CARMEN
I can see that. I'm walking to my
car though.
The man groans.
MAN
I'm sure it would be wiser for you
to come up this way.
CARMEN
I assure you sir, I know what I'm
doing.
Carmen rolls her eyes and continues walking.
MAN
God damn it.
The man begins walking down the stairs. Carmen notices this
and begins walking faster.
CARMEN
Leave me alone.
 2.

MAN
I told you to get over here!
The man begins speedwalking towards Carmen.
CARMEN
Leave me the hell alone creep!
Carmen begins running through the sand. She falls and gets
sand in her eyes. She screams in pain.
The man grabs her leg and starts dragging her.
Carmen kicks the man in the head, sending him flying
backwards. She stands up and begins running. The man
practically jumps up and pushes her into the lake.
MAN
Bitch.
The man holds her head underwater. After about 15 seconds,
she stops moving and we can see her body float away.

 27.

They all laugh. Malcolm checks his phone.

MALCOLM
Holy shit.
(Then.)
Tanner will you move for a second?
TANNER
What's going on?
MALCOLM
You'll see in a second.
Tanner stands up. Malcolm exits the booth.
Malcolm walks off. Tanner sits back down.
LANA
Where is he going?
TANNER
I don't know.
The TV turns on. The volume increases.
Luciana stands outside the police station.
LUCIANA (ON TV)
Hello. This is your chief of police
speaking.
The people in the diner look at the TV.
LUCIANA (ON TV) (CONT'D)
Earlier today, my partners
discovered a grisly scene at the
Bailey residence.
Samara covers her mouth.
LUCIANA (ON TV) (CONT'D)
My officers have reported that the
entire Bailey family were found
dead from stab wounds.
Samara screams in anguish. Lana runs over to Samara and hugs
her.
LUCIANA (ON TV) (CONT'D)
Due to the discovery, I have
decided to institute a city-wide
curfew staring at 9 PM tonight and
will be lifted at 9 AM tomorrow.
 28.

MALCOLM
Oh hell no.
FELIX
Malcolm, what's the matter?
MALCOLM
Our flight is at fucking 8!
TANNER
AM or PM?
MALCOLM
In the morning!
FELIX
Well think of it this way, it
doesn't matter because we'll be out
of town for a week. By then the
curfew will probably be lifted.
MALCOLM
That's probably right.
An employee runs over to Samara and Lana.
EMPLOYEE 1
What's the matter?
LANA
One of the victims was her
boyfriend.
EMPLOYEE 1
Oh my god, that's horrible. I'm so
sorry.
Samara sobs on the floor.

EXT. POLICE STATION - SAME TIME

Luciana walks back inside the police station. Camera flash.

INT. BLAKE BAILEY'S HOUSE - DINING ROOM - SAME TIME

TAYLOR WALLIN (38, coroner) enters the room.
HOLIDAY
Finally, I was wondering why you
were taking so long.
 29.

TAYLOR
Hello to you too. Murder-suicide I
hear?
HOLIDAY
That's what the call was. I don't
think that's what this was though.
Taylor puts on a pair of disposable rubber gloves.
TAYLOR
And what do you think this is?
HOLIDAY
Good-old-fashioned murder.
Taylor runs his gloved hand over the blood leaking from
karen's body.
TAYLOR
This blood is fresh.
He makes his way over to Blake's body. He runs his gloved
hand over the blood leaking from his body.
Taylor looks at Holiday.
HOLIDAY
What's wrong?
TAYLOR
Put on a pair of gloves.
Taylor points to the box of rubber gloves. Holiday grabs two
rubber gloves out of the box and puts them on.
HOLIDAY
(Kneeling Down)
What do you want me to do?
TAYLOR
I want you to run one hand through
the lady's blood and run one hand
through this kid's blood.
Holiday runs her left hand through the blood on Karen's body.
HOLIDAY
Yeah, it's fresh. She just died.
TAYLOR
Now run your hand through his.
Holiday runs her right hand through Blake's blood.
 30.

Holiday gasps.
HOLIDAY
It's like, caking up or something.
TAYLOR
Exactly, he died long before they
did.
Taylor and Holiday stand up. They remove their gloves.
HOLIDAY
So what's your word?
TAYLOR
The man and the woman, that's the
murder-suicide you recieved a call
about. But the kid, I think his
blood was used to write that
message.
HOLIDAY
Do you think he was murdered?
Taylor glances at Blake's corpse.
TAYLOR
Oh, for sure.
HOLIDAY
Okay, but now we need to compile a
list of suspects. But my question
is, who would do this? The Bailey's
were a well respected family here.
TAYLOR
Maybe it has something to do with
the disappearance of that girl.
HOLIDAY
That's a connection I never thought
of. Maybe we should start
interviewing some of the kids at
her high school, if they were
friends with her they're suspects.
Taylor looks Holiday in the eyes.
TAYLOR
Or they're targets.
Holiday and Taylor glance back at the corpse of Blake.
 31.

HOLIDAY
We should get them out of here,
start getting the scene cleaned up.
TAYLOR
Holiday, how would you like to be
my assistant in this case?
Holiday smiles.
HOLIDAY
Yeah, I'd really like that.
TAYLOR
Good. Would you mind helping me get
some body bags?
Holiday nods.

INT. POLICE STATION - LUCIANA'S OFFICE - SAME TIME

Luciana sits in an office chair. She is rubbing her forehead.
Ramon stands on the other side of her desk.
LUCIANA
For Christ sakes Ramon, you've said
the same thing 3 times.
Ramon slams his hand down on her desk.
RAMON
Because I'm trying to express the
fact that this is extreme!
Luciana stands up.
LUCIANA
Don't you think I know that!? I'm
trying to prevent more people from
getting killed!
RAMON
It doesn't matter what we do! More
people are going to die, there's no
stopping that!
Ramon's phone begins ringing. Ramon groans.
LUCIANA
Who is it?
Ramon pulls his phone out of his pocket.
 32.

RAMON
It's Holiday.
LUCIANA
Well, answer it!
Ramon answers the call. He presses the speaker button.
RAMON
Holiday, what's the good word?
HOLIDAY (O.S.)
There was a murder-suicide. But the
part we overlooked was that kid. He
was dead long before his parents
arrived.
LUCIANA
What are you saying?
HOLIDAY (O.S.)
I'm saying that there's going to be
more bloodshed. We need to start
talking to the students at the high
school, see if they have any
suspects.
LUCIANA
Alright, we'll be sure to do that.
Thanks for the call!
HOLIDAY (O.S.)
No problem, be safe you guys.
There's a bad storm rolling in.
RAMON
Don't worry, we will be.
Ramon ends the call.
LUCIANA
I guess you were right.
RAMON
Don't ever doubt me again.
Ramon starts for the door.
LUCIANA
Was that a threat?
RAMON
Maybe.
 33.

Ramon opens the door and walks out of the office. Luciana
scoffs.
LUCIANA
Fucking psycho.
Halsey's "I AM NOT A WOMAN, I'M A GOD" plays.
LUCIANA (CONT'D)
EVERY DAY I'VE GOT A SMILE WHERE MY
FROWN GOES

Luciana stands up.
LUCIANA (CONT'D)
I TAKE 'EM WITH ME TO THE GRAVE IN
A SUITCASE
Luciana opens the door to her office.
LUCIANA (CONT'D)
MAYBE I COULD BE A DIFFERENT HUMAN
IN A NEW PLACE

INT. POLICE STATION - WORK AREA - CONTINUOUS

LUCIANA
I AM NOT A WOMAN, I'M A GOD
Luciana walks out from her office.
LUCIANA (CONT'D)
I AM NOT A MARTYR, I'M A PROBLEM
She grabs a stack of papers and throws them in the air.
LUCIANA (CONT'D)
I AM NOT A LEGEND, I'M A FRAUD
Luciana falls to the floor. The officers sitting at the
computers pay no attention.
LUCIANA (CONT'D)
SO KEEP YOUR HEART, 'CAUSE I
ALREADY GOT ONE
Halsey's "I AM NOT A WOMAN, I'M A GOD" ends.

The door to her room opens. CAROLINE MURRAY (71) stands in
the doorframe.
CAROLINE
Where do you think you're going,
young lady?
Lana throws a dress in the suitcase. She turns to look at
Caroline.
LANA
I'm packing for my trip to Hawaii.
CAROLINE
That's cute, but you aren't going.
LANA
Tickets are non-refundable, so
yeah, I am going.
Lana zips up her suitcase. She makes her way towards the
door.
LANA (CONT'D)
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a
flight to catch.
Caroline blocks the doorway.
CAROLINE
You can't leave, the town's under
curfew.
 35.

LANA
Why does that matter? We booked the
trip before the curfew was set into
motion.
CAROLINE
Fine, have fun. Send me pictures.
LANA
I will Grandma. I love you.
Caroline hugs Lana.
CAROLINE
I love you too.
Caroline moves out of the doorway. Lana walks down the
stairs.

Welcome aboard your non-stop flight
to Honolulu. If you would pay
attention to the screen situated in
front of you, we will display a
short safety video for your flight.
The safety video begins playing
Malcolm shifts in his seat. Tanner glances over at Malcolm.
TANNER
You okay?
MALCOLM
I'm fine Tanner. Oh, I should have
mentioned this, but there were only
two beds in the hotel room, but
there is a pullout on the couch.
TANNER
Do you want the other bed or the
couch? Because it's a given that
Lana and Felix will take one of the
beds.
MALCOLM
That's funny because that's exactly
what I was going to say.
The safety video ends. The plane starts moving.
TANNER
Well, what's your choice?
MALCOLM
Whatever you want, Tanner.
The plane goes down the runway and then lifts into the air.
