Amber it's okay to show emotion.
AMBER
It's all I ever do though. For once,
I want to be strong, I want to be the
one who's fighting for the other
girls.

You cannot beat yourself up, it'll

Amber nods.

CUT TO:
ELLIE
Honestly, being with the other girls.
Being in the house. I'm in a
different room and the house is
slightly renovated, but nothing could
remove the memories of that night.
THERAPIST
Before you mentioned that you thought
being back at the house after such a
(MORE)
THERAPIS (CONT'D)
long break would help you. That it
would allow you all to cope together,
but it sounds like that's not the
case any longer?
ELLIE
There are certain people that ruin
it... make it unbearable.
THERAPIST
Who?
ELLIE
People who think they know all the
answers.
THERAPIST
I'm assuming this is a sister?
ELLIE
She's not my sister.

So moving forward, what do you think
can be done to help make you more

SERENA
Knowing the truth.
SERENA (V.O.)
...Putting it all to an end.
SERENA
Hello? Whose there?
CUT TO:
Renae makes her way over to Amber. She's clearly drunk, but
powering through it to help her friend.
RENAE
Hey babe, come here.
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
Renae grabs Amber and pulls her up.
AMBER
I'm sorry.
RENAE
Shh... it's okay.
Terra and Rick come out onto the front steps -- for the
show.
TERRA
(laughing to herself)
Drunky and Sobby. That could be a
reality TV hit.
RICK
I thought she was doing better?
TERRA
The anniversary is tomorrow.
RICK
That's right.
TERRA
I don't know why any of them came
back to school... They all need
fucking help.
RICK
(grabbing at them)
Let me help.
RENAE
Seriously, I got it.
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
TERRA
Why are you creeping out in the dark?
You know your complexion makes it a
little more difficult to see you...
SERENA
Racist comment number two thirty
four.
(beat)
Oh yes, I keep count.
RENAE
Serena, before you say anything, I
got it.
Renae walks into the house with Amber. Rick waits a second
and then follows behind.
RICK
I'll make sure they're okay.
TERRA
Ms. Sutter is gonna lose her shit.
SERENA
Who let her drink again?
TERRA
The one with the penis between his
legs.
SERENA
Oh, so you or Rick?
TERRA
Fuck you.
SERENA
I gave you one simple task, make sure
Renae didn't drink, you couldn't even
do that.
TERRA
I'm not her keeper Serena.
SERENA
Terra you're the vice president of
the sorority, you're supposed to keep
after the girls just as much as I do.
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
TERRA
You're one to talk. You're off in the
night going God knows where. You're
barely making it to your classes,
when you are here you're in your
room. So don't tell me I'm slacking
on my duties.
TERRA(CONT'D)
I understand what you four went
through is traumatic. Shit, I wasn't
even here but just the simple fact
that three people died here makes me
uneasy, so I can only imagine how you
feel. But drinking yourself into a
coma, crying every night and needing
assistance to get into the house,
being stuck up the ass of a possible
co-conspirator and just completely
ignoring your responsibilities... is
not the way for you all to overcome
this.
Terra, feeling all holier than thou, turns to go into the
house. She stops and turns back to say one last thing...
TERRA(CONT'D)
Oh, and don't be late to the meeting.
Serena stands there, taking it all in. We see her clench her
fists, but then breathe through it. She walks towards the
house.
IN THE BATHROOM
She looks into the mirror long and hard. She’s hurting.
She puts her hands into her face and sighs. When she removes
her hands and opens her eyes... BOOM -- someone is standing
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
behind her.
SERENA
Jesus!
MS. SUTTER
Oh my God. I am so sorry. I saw you
were having a moment, I didn't want
to interrupt you.
SERENA
So you thought giving me a heart
attack would be better?
MS. SUTTER
I'm sorry.
SERENA
It's okay.
MS. SUTTER
Will you be joining us for the
meeting?
SERENA
You said all seniors in your text, so
yeah...
MS. SUTTER
I just wanted to be sure.
MS. SUTTER(CONT'D)
Look... I know this whole thing has
been tough for you girls and I want
to make sure we do everything we can
to make you comfortable.
(beat)
I wanted to talk to you about
possibly handing over your president
duties to Terra.
SERENA
Are you serious?
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
MS. SUTTER
Just for a couple of months. I am not
taking the title away from you, just
letting Terra borrow it for a little
while.
SERENA
Do you really think that is
necessary?
MS. SUTTER
Yes, yes I do. You need time to heal.
you need to focus on your therapy.
SERENA
Oh so you think taking away from me,
the only thing that matters to me, is
going to do the trick?
MS. SUTTER
Serena it's been a year, I just
worry. The way you've been kind of
skipping out, it's just-
SERENA
I saved everyones lives and instead
of being thanked or treated like a
hero, I get treated like I'm a
psychopath.
(beat)
It's fine, give her the title, give
her the damn position permanently, I
don't give a flying fu-
MS. SUTTER
-Serena!?
Serena rushes past her, into her bedroom. Ms. Sutter follows
after her.
IN HER ROOM
SERENA
It’s fine Ms. Sutter, really. I could
care less.
MS. SUTTER
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
Clearly you care, which I appreciate.
I just am trying to do what’s best
for you.
SERENA
Look, I’m sorry for blowing up.
Honestly it’s whatever, I’m not gonna
fight you on it. In fact I’m gonna
formally resign.
MS. SUTTER
You don’t have to do that.
SERENA
I want to.
MS. SUTTER
Are you sure?
SERENA
Yes. Just give me time to move out of
this room.
MS. SUTTER
Of course, take as long as you need.
I’m gonna go get myself ready for the
meeting, but are you absolutely sure
about this?
SERENA
I am one hundred percent sure.
MS. SUTTER
Okay. I’ll see you in twenty?
FADE INTO:
Ms. Sutter has the girls all gathered around the living
room. All of the seniors of Beta Phi are in attendance, with
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
the exception of Renae -- she's walking Rick out the front
door.
RENAE
I'll talk to you later, okay?
RICK
Call me before you go to bed.
RENAE
I will, I will. Don't forget about
tomorrow.
RICK
I won't.
They kiss. Rick leaves the house and Renae shuts the door
behind him.
RENAE
Enjoy the show?
MS. SUTTER
Come on, come on. Sit down.
Renae sits down on the closest seat. She stumbles slightly
but manages to catch herself.
MS. SUTTER(CONT'D)
Okay... Thank you all for meeting
with me on such short notice. I have
a couple things I wanted to touch on
before the weekend. We all know the
house is off limits during the break
and myself as well as the school
appreciates everyone taking it so
well. The school wanted me to make
sure and stress that absolutely no
one can be in any of the sorority or
fraternity houses during the break,
anyone who breaks this rule will
suffer severe consequences.
SORORITY GIRL #1
What are they gonna do, kill us?
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
Too soon?
SORORITY GIRL #1(CONT'D)
MS. SUTTER
That's enough. The dean will decide
the punishment, but if I were you, I
wouldn't push it. Security will be on
campus all weekend, ensuring the
rules will be followed.
RENAE
Yeah, they said that last year too.
MS. SUTTER
I've been assured that they will be.
(beat)
Now before I make an announcement I
wanted to say one last thing... I
know that this is only the start of
my second year as house mother, but
you all have treated me like one of
the family and I truly appreciate it.
It's gonna be hard to say goodbye to
you at the end of this year.
TERRA
May I?
TERRA(CONT'D)
We all wanted to say how thankful we
are to you and all you've done for
us. We still have the rest of the
school year to thank you, but we
wanted to start the year off right
with a gift.
Terra pulls out a small box and hands it to Ms. Sutter. She
opens the box and pulls out a small necklace.
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
MS. SUTTER
Oh my gosh, it's so beautiful.
TERRA
We love you Ms. Sutter.
MS. SUTTER
You all never cease to amaze me.
TERRA
Now with that announcement...
MS. SUTTER
Yes. We have a slight change this
year. Obviously with what happened
last year, we want to do the best we
can to make sure that everyone is
comfortable... with that being said
Serena has decided to resign as the
Beta Phi president and Terra will be
taking over the position.
TERRA
Serena, you have been a great
president over the last two years...
TERRA(CONT'D)
We're all so proud of you girls
coming back and remaining apart of
the family. Please do not hesitate to
let me know if there's anything we
can do to make things better for you
here.
MS. SUTTER
Enjoy the last night here before the
break ladies.
The girls all get up and start to leave the room. Ms. Sutter
stops Serena.
MS. SUTTER(CONT'D)
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
Are you okay?
SERENA
I'll be fine. It's what is best for
Beta Phi.
IN THE HALL
RENAE
(to Terra)
What are you doing tomorrow night?
TERRA
Probably just going to stay with one
my friends in the dorms, why?
RENAE
Don't tell anyone, but we're having a
little get together here.
TERRA
Seriously?
RENAE
Yes. You need to come.
TERRA
Get me axed as president before I
even start?
RENAE
C'mon you know damn well security
will not be an issue.
TERRA
Alright, alright. Just please tell me
the cry baby isn't coming?
RENAE
What did I say to you? Stop saying
that shit.
RENAE(CONT'D)
Ellie, what are you doing tomorrow
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
night?
ELLIE
Restoring my sanity.
TERRA
First thing I'm gonna do when I
officially become president is create
an Alex ban. She gives me the creeps.
Terra walks off towards the rooms. Renae stands there for a
second, eventually walking off too.
FADE INTO:
ALEX
Sorry.
SERENA
What are you doing?
ALEX
Just getting something to eat for
Ellie and I.
SERENA
You know Ms. Sutter doesn't like
'partners' staying the night.
ALEX
Partners? How PC of you... I hope you
give the other girls the same lecture
when they have their boyfriends stay?
SERENA
You know I'm onto you right?
ALEX
Excuse me?
SERENA
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
Just don't get comfortable, I know
what you did and I'm gonna prove it.
ALEX
If you still think I had something to
do with the murders wouldn't it be a
bad idea to mess with me?
SERENA
If you did have something to do with
the murders, wouldn't it be a bad
idea to mess with me? We both know
what happened to Terrance.
ALEX
You did what you had to do.
SERENA
And I'd do it over again, anything to
protect my sisters.
ALEX
They're all so lucky to have you.
SERENA
I know.
ALEX
I'll be getting our food now.
SERENA
You do that.
Ellie walks into the kitchen and meets Renae & Amber, who
have just come down from upstairs.
RENAE
Walk of shame?
ELLIE
That would mean I would have had to
do something last night, which I did
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
not.
RENAE
Still haven't given it up?
ELLIE
I just can't seem to get it together,
every time we try I just can't stop
thinking about -- well you know.
(beat)
How are you doing Amber? I heard last
night was a rough one.
AMBER
I'll be okay. One day at a time,
right?
ELLIE
Of course.
RENAE
All I know is I am hungover like a
bitch.
ELLIE
I guess we're all a mess.
ELLIE
I'm gonna go finish packing.
RENAE
She still hates you.
SERENA
I don't get it, all I am trying to do
is protect her.
RENAE
Well you kind of told the whole house
that you thought her girlfriend was
in on the murder plot, I think Ellie
has a right to be offended.
AMBER
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
You don't know how it feels to have
the one you love accused of something
like that. After it happened last
year, the news couldn't stop talking
about Corey, like he was in on it
too. So I get where her anger comes
from.
SERENA
Okay, but Corey didn't do anything.
Alex did.
RENAE
And you know this how?
SERENA
Short version -- there's no record of
an Alex Hawkins at Hunnington
University or the town of Hunnington
for that matter. Terrance Ivanov had
a sister and a brother, the brother
is apparently dead but the sister
vanished years ago, her last known
location was Milltowne, Virginia...
which is only a town away.
RENAE
All circumstantial though.
SERENA
She was here the night of the
murders, Terrance was speaking to
someone inside of the house. Ellie
brought her in from the basement door
which is where Terrance came in. She
was "hiding in the closest the whole
time," how do you not see it?
AMBER
If you're that sure, why haven't you
taken this information to the police?
SERENA
They cleared everyone that was
present that night, besides they get
to blame everything on Terrance so
they don't have to continue to
investigate. So if they won't, I
will.
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
RENAE
Okay Nancy Drew. I understand it all
looks suspect, but isn't it at all
possible that you're just looking way
too deep into this and that maybe
Terrance did act alone?
SERENA
How do you explain the texts then?
RENAE
I don't know. I just think you should
not have pointed the finger at Alex
until you had concrete evidence.
SERENA
I never meant to hurt Ellie. I just
know Alex did this and I'm gonna
prove it.
Ellie comes back down the stairs and then exits the house,
slamming the door behind her.
RENAE
I hope she didn't hear that...
23 EXT. THE BETA PHI HOUSE - CONT. 23
Ellie notices a car down the street a little. She wipes her
tears. We can't see who is in the driver seat, but the
vehicle pulls away quickly. Ellie looks concerned but
brushes it off.
RENAE (V.O.)
Just chill on the Alex is a killer
train, at least until after the
anniversary.
SERENA (V.O.)
Something is gonna happen, Ellie is
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
gonna get hurt.
SERENA
Once Amber and Renae trip him, you
pull him up using this, strangle him
as hard as you can and then I'll make
my move.
ELLIE
Then what?
SERENA
(grabbing the knife)
I have that part taken care of.
RENAE
Come on, he'll come up here any
minute!
ELLIE
I'm scared.
SERENA
It's gonna be okay Ellie.
RENAE
Come on!
The girls all rush out the backdoor and down the stairs of
the patio. We SPIN around just as TERRANCE is coming up the
stairs and out the basement door.
CUT TO:
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
Serena and Renae stand by the door.
RENAE
Jesus. What's the matter with you?
SERENA
Listen!
RENAE
I had no idea you were here.
SERENA
Yeah I had no idea you all would be
here either, but I am glad you are...
come here.
RENAE
What is this?
SERENA
It's for my investigation.
RENAE
(laughing)
(MORE)
RENA (CONT'D)
Investigation? Serena, what did I
tell you-
SERENA
Listen to me dammit!
SERENA(CONT'D)
I found something, you're going to
want to see.
RENAE
You've gotta be shitting me. Where
did you get this?
CUT TO:
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
Renae and Amber are crouched down in a closet.
RENAE
The alcohol is starting to hit.
AMBER
Ouch, you're hurting me!
RENAE
Sorry, move your ass.
AMBER
Okay, I can't breathe.
RENAE
No, what if he sees us?
AMBER
I'm sure he's gone by now.
RENAE
Hey, we're hiding in a closet, your
favorite thing to do.
AMBER
Well it's your fault the two of us
are here.
RENAE
We need to get Ellie away from Alex.
AMBER
How the hell do we do that?
RENAE
Go downstairs and look for the guys,
I'll look upstairs and I'll get
Serena. We're gonna have to come up
with a plan.
AMBER
You want me to go downstairs by
myself.
RENAE
Alex is upstairs, you'll be fine.
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
AMBER
I honestly don't know how I got here
in life, like, why do I deserve this?
AMBER(CONT'D)
Jesus, are you there? Please tell me
what I did?
RENAE
We'll meet right here in five
minutes, got it?
AMBER
Okay.
Renae makes her way upstairs as Amber goes down into the
basement.
Serena comes rushing out of her room, taking Renae back down
the stairs, motioning for her to stay quiet. They go into
the kitchen.
IN THE KITCHEN
SERENA
There was a security guard outside.
RENAE
I know he scared the hell out of us.
Amber and I hid in the closet.
SERENA
Typical.
RENAE
You're not gonna believe what was
just on the news.
SERENA
What?
RENAE
There was another sorority murder.
They don't know for sure if it's
related but it's similar to the
original murders.
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
SERENA
See I knew this was going to happen.
Alex has something planned. Where is
Amber?
RENAE
She went downstairs to find the guys.
SERENA
You let her go downstairs by herself?
RENAE
Alex is upstairs, she'll be okay.
SERENA
No, she's not.
RENAE
What?
SERENA
I went to check on Ellie, she's
sleeping and Alex is gone.
RENAE
What the fuck! Should we get Ellie?
FROM OUTSIDE -
The garage door opens, it startles them.
RENAE(CONT'D)
Maybe thats them?
They walk over and open the door to the garage, Renae
follows behind Serena.
The girls walk in. Their arms are locked together, Renae
turns on the flashlight mode on her phone.
SERENA
Why is Ms. Sutter's car here?
RENAE
I don't know, I thought she left?
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
A NOISE comes from the corner of the garage. The suspense
builds.
RENAE(CONT'D)
I don't think we're alone.
SERENA
(yelling out)
Whoever the fuck is in here, is about
to get their neck cut open.
They move closer and closer towards the sound... As they get
right by the corner they flash the light towards it and
scream out when they realize it's a cat.
RENAE
Holy shit.
SERENA
I hate cats.
SERENA
What?
RENAE
Is she dead?
SERENA
I don't think her eyes are wide open
because she's admiring Ms. Sutter's
car. Yes she's dead!
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
Renae and Serena come rushing in.
RENAE
What do we do?
SERENA
We're gonna end this once and for
all.
RENAE
How do we do that?
SERENA
We're gonna kill this bitch.
RENAE
What if she already killed Amber?
SERENA
Don't.
RENAE
Someone in this situation is bound to
go there.
SERENA
Come on.
Serena takes the lead. They head down into the basement.
Serena and Renae slowly enter. They open the door to the
weight room and are shocked -- they discover Amber passed
out on the floor. Serena rushes over to her.
RENAE
Is she-
SERENA
No. She's still breathing.
SERENA(CONT'D)
Amber, wake up.
They hear a door close from outside of the room. Renae and
Serena look at one another... it's go time.
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
RENAE
Shit.
SERENA
C'mon.
RENAE
We can't leave her.
SERENA
We'll come back for her.
Serena rushes out the door, Renae looks down at Amber one
last time before following behind.
RENAE
There's two of them?
Serena and Renae both fight off the other attacker and begin
to make a run for it, but Serena is grabbed by the leg --
knocking her down.
SERENA
Renae, run!
RENAE
I'm not leaving you.
SERENA
Renae, go!
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
Just then, another MASKED FIGURE steps out from the hallway.
RENAE
You've gotta be fucking kidding me.
They're all three coming towards the girls now. One of them
signals to another one to get Renae.
SERENA
Go! I got this.
Serena gets into fight mode. She puts her fists up. One of
the attackers slashes toward her direction, she's backed
into the corner. She punches the one without a knife. The
other one manages to knock her out.
CUT TO:
SERENA
I don't know why you're wearing a
mask, I know it's you.
ALEX
It's for dramatic effect.
SERENA
You piece of shit.
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
ALEX
What gave it away?
SERENA
I've always trusted my sisters and
you were the only other one here that
night... so I put the pieces
together.
ALEX
Contrary to what you think, that's
not true.
SERENA
Corey was an ass-hole, but he wasn't
a murderer.
ALEX
I'm not talking about Corey, there
were a couple other people here that
night, you just didn't know.
SERENA
Who are your side kicks?
ALEX
You don't know everything, like you
think you do.
SERENA
I know that you're Terrance's sister.
Katrina, is it?
ALEX
I'll give you credit, you're smart,
too smart for your own good, because
if you know who I am and you know
what I did then that means I do have
to kill you.
SERENA
No no no. It means that I have to
kill you, just like I killed your
bastard of a brother.
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
ALEX
Shut the hell up.
SERENA
Your brother was a pathetic excuse
for a killer, he was outsmarted by
four sorority girls, how does that
make you feel?
ALEX
You may have took my brother away
from me, but what you gave me fills
that void completely... I have Ellie
now, how does it feel to have one of
your precious sisters taken away?
SERENA
She'll see who you really are soon
enough.
ALEX
You think so? I have her pretty much
convinced that you're the psychotic
killer. You and Terrance had a
dangerous love affair and your hatred
for your sorority sisters grew so
(MORE)
ALE (CONT'D)
much that you conspired with him to
go on a murderous sorority killing
rampage. When he grew tired and
wanted out, you made sure he couldn't
tell anyone about what you did
together, so you made sure to silence
him the only way you knew how.
SERENA
You think anyone is going to believe
that?
ALEX
I do. I think people are going to
have trouble understanding why you
would be visiting his grave.
SERENA
So you've been stalking me, huh?
ALEX
I had to keep an eye on you, thank
God I did, because I couldn't make
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
this shit up.
SERENA
He deserved to die, but doing that,
it changed me. Taking someones life,
it's not supposed to feel good.
Alex laughs.
ALEX
Oh yes it does.
SERENA
You need help.
ALEX
You're the one tied up, I think you
are in need of help.
Alex kicks the chair backward, knocking Serena down with it,
breaking the chair.
ALEX(CONT'D)
Don't worry, I'm not gonna kill you
right here. I'm going for a much more
poetic form of justice.
Alex grabs Serena by her hair and pulls her through the
doorway into the basement living room -- where Terrance
died.
CUT TO:
Alex has the knife in one hand, she's ready to kill Serena.
ALEX
Any final words?
SERENA
You tie knots like a bitch.
ALEX
Excuse me?
SERENA
Something you have in common with
your brother, I guess.
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
Without hesitation, Serena kicks Alex directly in the face,
knocking her backward.
Serena pops up, her hands are free. Alex goes into full
attack mode.
ALEX
You little bitch.
SERENA
You fucked with the wrong sorority!
Alex rushes towards Serena -- the knife raised into the air.
Serena blocks her with her hands, avoiding the knife. Alex
pushes her backward -- knocking her into a bookshelf.
Serena uses all her might to spin Alex around into the
bookshelf -- breaking it apart. Serena grabs the top of it
and pulls it down onto Alex, knocking her over -- she loses
ahold of the knife.
Serena goes for it, but Alex manages to push the bookshelf
off of herself, hitting Serena in the face with the corner
of it -- leaving a gash on Serena's forehead.
Alex gets up, she comes toward Serena, abandoning the knife
behind. She grabs ahold of Serena's neck, Serena does the
same to her. They're nearly killing each other when Serena
head buts Alex, hitting Alex in the nose, causing it to
bleed.
CUT TO:
The looks on their faces are much different than that first
day they met. Ellie has tears rolling down her cheeks. Alex
has a deranged look on her face, still holding a knife to
Ms. Sutter's throat.
ELLIE
So that's it, you and your brothers
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
just sit around one day bored and
decide we're gonna go kill a bunch of
sorority girls for sport.
ALEX
There's more to it, but you aren't
privy to that information.
AMBER
Why Corey? Why did you guys have to
kill Corey.
ALEX
Wrong place, wrong time.
(beat)
Story time's over. It's time to
finish this.
SERENA
Get the gun!
Amber runs over to the gun, she picks it up and tries to get
a shot at Alex, but there's no clear shot. Alex pushes
Serena off of her -- Amber goes to shoot, but Ellie stops
her.
ELLIE
No!
Alex makes a run for it, towards the hall leading to the
stairs.
AMBER
Why did you do that?
Serena helps Ms. Sutter sit up, she un-gags her and begins
to untie her.
MS. SUTTER
I felt like I was in there for an
eternity.
OTTINGER PRODUCTIONS
MS. SUTTER(CONT'D)
Oh my God, you're hurt.
SERENA
I'll be fine.

SPEAKER (V.O.)
Congratulations Graduates!
AMBER
Please, no more crying.
RENAE
I know, when they handed Terra's
parents an honorary diploma for her,
I about lost it.
MS. SUTTER
You each were able to over-come your
fears and finish out strong.
SERENA
It wasn't easy.
MS. SUTTER
I know, but you did it.
RENAE
Who cares. Let is burn to the ground
for all I care.
SERENA
We're moving onto bigger and better
things, right Ellie?
ELLIE
What? -- Oh, yeah. Bigger and better.
AMBER
Well, this is it. Goodbye to Beta
Phi.
It's a powerful moment. They all look at one another as they
realize it's all over. It's time to move on and start their
lives.
MUSIC BEGINS to play as we see them all hug one another and
take off into the sunset.
FADE TO BLACK.
