Interior:  TV Show, “The World Today”

          The camera pans across the room, as we see members of the audience.  They are all cheering as we come back from a commercial break.  The camera keeps going around the room until it comes in straight to the host.   

Host: Hi and welcome back to “The World Today.”  We are back with Psychologist Marion Jacobsen.

The camera pans over to her then back to the host.

Host:  So Marion, I understand you have just published your first book.  A New York Times bestseller even.

Marion Jacobsen:  That is correct (host).  It’s called Popularity, When Is Too Much?  The premise behind this, are the good and bad things that come with being so called “popular.”  In the book, I try to describe more of the downfalls as opposed to the benefits. 

Host:  Wait a second Marion.  Are you trying to imply that it’s bad to be popular?

Marion Jacobsen:  No, it’s just that…..

She is cut off in mid sentence by the host. 

Host:  Marion, its every person’s dream to be rich and famous, especially teenagers.  When I was 17 years old, I wanted to be rich and famous.

Marion Jacobsen:  I didn’t say rich and famous, but that’s fine.  (She has some tone in her voice).  I was saying that popularity brings friends.  Popularity also brings the “wrong” types of friends, such as stalkers or people that just don’t like that fact that someone else is getting all of the attention.  Envy, jealousy.

Host:  The book, Popularity, When Is Too Much? by Marion Jacobsen, is in stores now.  Marion, thanks for being on the show. 

Marion:  Thank you

The camera pans across to Marion and it fades to black

Opening Credits

            The camera scrolls left and right on a wall which is covered in clippings and pictures.  From what we can see, the pictures of a girl who is getting awards and things of that nature.  Pictures of friends and family members.  Some music is playing around this time as well.  Maybe Cape Fear theme. 

·        Winning awards

·        Prom Queen

·        Newspaper clippings

·        Pictures

·        Family

·        Friends

We don’t see all of the pictures on the wall just some more of the popular ones.

Exterior:  Outside Park, Day

       One of the pictures from the opening credits dissolve into a real life scene of Kiersten sitting in the park talking with her friends.  No sound of the people talking are heard, mostly the music in the background.  Then it cuts to the Kiersten walking with her boyfriend.  A couple people walk up to her and shake her hand.  She acknowledges them and then keeps walking.  She is holding hands with her boyfriend.   Cut to house

Exterior:  House, Evening

The camera looks upon a huge house.  You can tell the owners are rich.  The camera gets a good view of the house.  The music has stopped now.  Cut to inside of house

Interior:  House

Talking is heard coming from one of the rooms in the house.  The camera rolls through the house to get to that room.  There are some pictures of the family on end tables.  The camera keeps rolling and we see three girls sitting on the couch.  The camera is behind them.  They are laughing at something.  The camera is then directly in front of them.  They are looking at photos in a photo album.  Kiersten and Michelle are sitting fairly close together, like best friends would sit.  The other girl (Katie) has some distance between her and Kiersten.  She has a left out look on her face. 

Michelle:  Katie, take a look at this. 

Katie leans over and takes a look at the photo album

Kiersten:  Don’t show her that

Michelle:  Taking a bath with Chris, when they were 5.  Aren’t they so cute?  (Luaghing)

Kiersten is embarrassed as her face is all red.  She puts her hands over her face, and the turns the page.  The other two girls are still laughing

Michelle:  (Sighs) High School Graduation. 

Katie:  You had to speak at graduation?

Kiersten:  Yes, I was the class president, I was obligated.

Katie:  I guess not much changes from High School to College huh?

Michelle:  She does everything, then and now.  Class president, prom queen, you name it, she’s done it.

Katie:  Now I see why everybody comes up to you.  You know more people then I have every met in my life. 

Kiersten:  Well my parents are big townspeople.

Michelle:  Your mean they are this town. (Luaghs) Speaking of them, where are they?

Kiersten:  Out of town till tomorrow on a business trip.

Katie:  I wish I could be like you.  (She give a devilish look)

The girls turn the page and then they start laughing again.  A knock comes from the door.  The girls look up, while they are still laughing.  Kiersten gets up and walks to the front door.  She opens the door and her boyfriend, Chris, is standing there with a plate of brownies. 

Chris:  Hey there Kierst

Kiersten:  Hi.  (Loving Hi, lovable eyes)

Chris:  I made you some brownies

Kiersten:  Oh, that is so sweet.  (She hugs him)  I love you

Chris:  I love you too

The two walk into the house and up to where everybody else is.   The two girls look up

Chris:  Anybody want some brownies?

Michelle:  Actually we have to get going (She indiscreetly taps Katie)

Katie:  Yea, we have to get to the mall

Kiersten:  Okay. Well call me later

The two girls walk out of the room and out the front door.  When the door closes the dialogue picks up

Kiersten:  My parents will not be back until tomorrow

Chris:  Alright (Grin on his face)

The two start to go at it by kissing, and then Chris pulls of her shirt and we see her bra.  The two fall on the couch and the scene ends.  Cut to outside of the house where the two girls are walking down the street

Katie:  She doesn’t expect anything, you think

Michelle:  Yes, everything is going according to schedule.  It will be on hell of a surprise. 

The girls look back at the house as an eerie feeling comes across the air.  The camera gets a good look at the house and the girls faces.  Michelle has a devious look on her face as Katie has a happy look on hers

Interior:  Kiersten’s House, Day

            Chris and Kiersten are sitting on the couch watching TV.  Whatever they are watching they are really interested as can be seen by the eyes wide stare.  They occasionally make a comment.  A couple of minutes pass and soon we finally meet the parents.  The Mom and Dad walk into the room

Mom:  Hi kids.

Kiersten:  Hi Mom, (She goes over and gives her a hug) How was your trip?

Mom:  Well, it was interesting.

Dad:  Waste of my god damn time.  (He walks over to Chris) How are you Chris?

Chris:  Great Mr. P.  How are you doing? 

Dad:  Dad, glad to be back.  Come here I want to show you something (The two walk out of the room)

The two girls watch as they leave the room

Mom:  He has always been like a son to your father. 

Kiersten:  I know, its great how they get along so well.  So tell me about the business trip.

Mom:  You don’t want to know.  (She puts her hands up in the air, and she walks through the room)

The two guys come back in the room.

Dad:  Come on let’s go get something to eat, I’m starving.  You coming Chris?

Chris:  You know I can’t refuse an offer like that

Kiersten:  Yes, we all know. (They all laugh)

Dad:  Oh, Kiersten, I met some people that want to meet you.  I told them all about you.

Kiersten:  Great Dad. 

The two girls walk out the front door and the men shortly thereafter.  Just as the two men get to the door, the father turns towards Chris

Dad:  Everything all set for the party?

Chris:  Yes sir, plans have been made.  All wheels are in motion

Dad:  (He pats him on the back) Good Chris, good. 

They walk out of the house and the scene ends. 

Interior: Unknown Room

            We see a shadowy figure getting equipment ready for some sort of event.  He is collecting a bunch of lenses for a camera.  The room is very dark, we never see his face.  Only an outline of his body and his hands mostly.  He is putting them all into a suitcase. 

Exterior:  Hub Lawn, Day

Kiersten is walking along the sidewalk of the Hub.  She is seen from the distance through a lens.  Apparently the guy we saw in the last seen is taking photos of her.  We see her sitting by a tree as the guy is taking more pictures.  Friends and others come up to her but he only focuses on her.  There is also one picture where the guy is standing on the other side of the tree.  As the scene goes on there are some pictures of school and of Kiersten at home.  Scene ends

Interior: Unknown Location

             The camera pans around the room.  We see the suitcase open with the photo equipment on the table.  Next we see a guy in the dark room making pictures.  Next we see somebody hanging up the pics on the wall.  It looks like the same wall from the opening sequence.  We see only some of the pics as usual.  There seems to be a lot of pictures but we don’t see the whole collage.  The guy is then seen back in the dark room.  He gets up and closes the door, then goes to the front door of the room and leaves.  He walks off down the hall.  He has a book bag on.  He passes a teacher on his right side as he leaves.  The teacher looks at him suspiciously.  He sees something fall of his bag.  He goes and picks it up.  It seems to be a picture of some girl, he recognizes her as the daughter of the Parents who send a lot of money to the University.  He looks back at the guy walking away, and then turns his head back to the room he left from.  He walks up to it and opens the door.  It is unlocked.  He walks in and the room smells weird, like urethane or some picture smelling odor.  He sees a red light coming from on the rooms.  He goes over to it and opens the door.  To his amazement he says many pictures of the same girl hanging on a wire.  The camera looks away from his face and at the pictures on the wire.  The scene ends.

Interior: Kiersten’s House

            The action picks up in Kiersten’s house where we see Kiersten, Chris and Michelle sitting around the table.  The camera pans across them and then to front door as a knock comes from the door.  Chris gets up and walks past the door and opens it to see a detective standing there. 

Hicks:  Hi Son.  I am Detective Hicks with the State College Police Department.  (He Flashes his badge)  I am looking for a Kiersten Patrick

Chris:  What is all this about Detective?

Hicks:  It’s just better if I can talk to her about that

Chris:  Alright, come on in

The two walk into the room where Kiersten and Michelle are.  Chris walks over to Kiersten and whispers into her ear

Chris:  Kierst, are you in some kind of trouble?

Kiersten:  No honey why?

Chris:  (He looks up at the Detective) There is a cop here to see you

The Detective makes himself known

Hicks:  Hi Kiersten:  I am sorry to bother you but we have a situation

Kiersten:  What?

Hicks:  Do you know this guy?  (He takes the picture of a kid out of his jacket.  He is freaky looking.  Spiked hair, ear rings, nose ring.  They all look at the picture) 

Kiersten:  I have never seen him

Chris and Michelle look at each other and then up at the cop

Hicks:  Well, he certainly knows you.  (He pulls out some pictures of the pictures that came from the dark room)  This was in his dorm room.  I think we should head down to the station. 

Interior:  Police Station, Night

            The detective is interrogating the suspect as the others look on through the glass. 

Guy:  I told you already.  I was taking pictures for the college paper.  I am doing a story, and since Kiersten is the President of the Class, I thought I would include her in it. 

Hicks:  I am tired of your bullshit.  Where did you get the newspaper clippings then?

Guy:  Well, to write a good story, you have to do some research.  You can find out anything about anybody on the Internet. 

Hicks’ slams is hands down on the table.  The guy lurches back

Hicks:  I got my eyes on you.  Just watch you step, one wrong move and I will be there to squash your ass.  (He walks out of the room to the others)

Kiersten:  Well, what’s the deal Detective?

Hicks:  (Sighs) We can’t hold him.  We do not have anything solid

Chris:  Detective Hicks?  You have to hold him here.  I don’t want him harassing Kiersten

Hicks:  I wish I could help you out kid.  We have no motive, but you can believe I will have my eyes on him.

The camera turns from the detective, then to the three kids, and then fades into the room where the suspect is.  The scene ends.

Dream Sequence:  Kiersten’s House, Night

            Kiersten comes home at night and parks her car in the driveway.  Its nice car by the way since her parents are rich.  She gets out of the car and closes the door.  As soon as she closes the door she hears the squeak of the gate door closing.  She looks up at the door as it creaks forward. 

Kiersten:  Chris, is that you?

            She walks over to the gate and though the gate.  As she passes through the gate she steps on something that makes a breaking noise.  She bends over and picks up the object.  It looks like a digital camera pack case.  Kiersten looks around the area but she sees nothing.  She looks back at the object and then looks around again.  This time she stops looking around when she sees something about 15 feet in front of her.  It is a white object of some sort.  She stands up and walks over to the white object.  She picks it up and turns it over.  It is a picture of her.  She drops it and runs back through the gate and up the steps to the front door.  She goes through the door which isn’t even shut tight.  She runs to the phone and dials the police.  A blank sound comes from the phone.  No Dial Tone.  Kiersten is really panicking right now.  You can see the frightened feeling upon her face.  The front door cracks open.  She runs up the stairs and into her room.  She opens the door, closes it and proceeds to lock it.  She leans on the door as she seems safe.  After she collects herself, she turns around and sees the guy that was taking pictures of her earlier.  He has a knife.  She screams.  Kiersten jumps up from her bad dream, still screaming, then it subsides to just breathing heavy.  She settles down and goes back to sleep.  End scene

Interior: Kitchen, Morning

       Kiersten’s mom and Chris are in the kitchen talking about the guy the police brought in for questioning.  The dad is in the other room talking on his cell phone to the Detective.  He has a tone in his voice, but we don’t really hear what he is saying.  The camera pans the room to where Kiersten enters the kitchen from the steps. 

Mom:  Happy Birthday honey.  How are you this morning?  (She goes over and gives her a hug)  Chris told me what happened.

Kiersten:  Thanks.  I’m fine Mom, it was just…. She is cut off by the sound of her Dad yelling into the phone. 

Dad:  Bullshit

The camera turns from the two and over to the dad

Dad:  Do your fucking job detective.  Get this damn psycho off the streets. 

He hangs up the phone and walks into the kitchen where everybody is.  He has an angry look on his face. 

Kiersten:  It’s alright Dad.

Dad:  Those damn cops couldn’t catch a fat nigger on foot. 

Mom:  Stop it

Dad:  Happy Birthday honey (He goes over and gives her a hug and a kiss on her head)

Kiersten:  Thanks daddy

The dad looks at all of them and then back to the daughter.  He turns to the boyfriend.

Dad:  Keep an eye on her

Chris:  Anything for you or your daughter. 

The dad leaves the room and the mom follows suit.  

Mom:  Have fun you guys, Chris tells me he planned a big day for you.  Sounds exciting.  (She walks out)

Chris puts his arm around Kiersten

Chris:  Everything will be just fine.  And, happy birthday.  The scene ends. 

Exterior:  Birthday Trip

            Not really much explaining here or extended scenes.  Just a bunch of clips of Chris and Kiersten having a good time.

• Mini Golf
• Go-karts
• Picnic
• Walk in the mountains with a great view
• Kissing and hugging

Toward the end of the day we see Chris on his cell phone.  He calls Kiersten’s house

Michelle:  Hello?

Chris:  Michelle?  Is everything ready?

Michelle:  Just putting the finishing touches on now.  (The camera is in front of her, and we can see Katie and Kiersten’s mom putting up balloons and other party supplies.

Chris:  We’ll see you for dinner in about 30 minutes

Michelle:  Okay bye

Chris hangs up the phone and we see Kiersten down by a pond.  She looks up and waves.  The scene ends as Chris is walking down to the pond. 

Interior: Restaurant, Evening

            We next see Michelle, Chris, Katie, and Kiersten eating dinner at a fancy restaurant.  They are all having a good time, laughing and carrying on.  This scene is very brief.  The action picks up when they leave the restaurant.  Kiersten is carrying a bag of gifts. 

Kiersten:  Thanks guys for everything

Girls:  No problem, Happy Birthday

They all hug and Katie and Michelle leave in their car.

Chris and Kiersten kiss and then get in Chris’s car.  They then drive back to Kiersten’s house.  They get out of the car and Kiersten walks over to Chris.

Kiersten:  I had a wonderful day, thank you

Chris:  Well its not over yet

Kiersten:  Chris, my parents

Chris:  Don’t worry about that.

They walk into the house, Chris trailing Kiersten.  They walk to the main room and

Everybody:  Surprise! (Surprise birthday party)

Kiersten: Oh, you guys

Everybody is there, Katie, Michelle, even friends from school.

Katie: Were all here for your birthday Kiersten.

Kiersten:  Well, what are you waiting for? This get this party started.  The music starts

Interior: House Party, Night

            Everybody is having a good old time at Kiersten’s 20^th birthday party.  There are not a lot of people there, but enough to make some noise.  Everybody is dancing to the song Butterfly, by CrazyTown.  Kiersten is at the head of the pack.  That goes on for a couple minutes, and then people start to move on to other things.  Kiersten is walking through the house saying hi to people as they are saying hi back.  She meets up later with her boyfriend as well as Michelle.  They are sitting on the couch drinking sodas and laughing.  Katie walks in with two guys on her arms.  Kiersten and Michelle give each other sarcastic looks.  She gives them one back and then walks off into the other room.  The camera takes a look at the party goers.  They are all having a good time.  We then go upstairs to the bedroom where we see Kiersten’s parents laying in bed reading magazines.

Dad:  I hope this party is over soon, I want to get some shuteye. 

Mom:  Can you just relax for one night.  It’s bad enough you disgraced the entire police department. 

Dad:  Don’t start. 

The camera goes back downstairs to where all the action is.  Kiersten gets up from the couch where everybody else is. 

Kiersten: I have to go to the bathroom.  Be right back.

She walks off to the bathroom.  We next see her washing her hands.  The camera is behind her and we see her face through the mirror. She wets her face and when she stands up we can see the guy in the background. She freaks out.

Guy:  Wait, Kiersten, wait a second before you start screaming.  (She calms down)

The pictures I took of you. 

Kiersten:  Yea, what about them you freak?

Guy:  I was hired

Kiersten: Is that so, by whom?

Guy:  By…. (A knock comes from the door)

Chris:  What’s going on in there (He opens the door and sees the guy standing there confronting his girlfriend) You son of a bitch. Get out of here (He shoves the guy out of the bathroom and into the wall, turns back to Kiersten) This will only take a minute. 

We see Chris walk off after the guy, but the camera does not follow.  Instead Kiersten gets herself together.  Katie, Michelle and some other people walk up to her.  Michelle goes over to her and gives her a hug as she starts to cry.  Just then the parents come down the steps.

Dad:  What the hell is going on down here?

Michelle:  Your daughter has been shaken up.

Mom:  By what?

Michelle:  That guy was here

Dad:  The guy taking pictures of my daughter?  (They nod)  That little bastard.  Where the fuck is he?  (He walks towards the front door.  Just then, Chris walks in)

Dad:  Where is he?

Chris:  He’s gone, he ran off

Dad:  I don’t think so.  (He grabs his keys and runs out the door)

Mom:  Okay, guys party over.

Everybody files out while Kiersten’s close friends comfort her.  The scene ends as the camera tails off

Interior:  Kiersten’s House, Mid-Day

            The camera zooms out from a close up of a picture of the family.  It is the next day, and the detective is back at the house trying to figure out why this guy is chasing after Kiersten.  Kiersten, her mom and dad are also in the room, but mostly her dad and the detective are talking. 

Dad:  Any news Detective?

Hicks:  Nothing new sir.

Dad:  What the hell.  Do you know anything?  I contribute a lot to this town

Hicks: And we appreciate it.  (He Pauses)  Kiersten, you said he was hired to take pictures of you?

Kiersten:  That right

Hicks:  Did you say who hired him?

Kiersten:  No, he was cut off when Chris came to the door and kicked him out.

Dad:  Who the fuck is behind this?

Mom:  Watch your language?

Detective:  Do you have any enemies?

Dad:  No way

Detective:  Nobody has any grudges against you?  The mom and dad look at each other

Dad: Well if you say it that way, everybody I ran out of the town. (He laughs)

Mom: This isn’t the time for jokes.  Someone is after our daughter.  Tell them

Dad:  (He sighs and looks down) Well there is this one thing.

It was about 20 years ago.  Just after Kiersten was born.  We were on our way from the hospital.  There was an accident. Oh, it was dark, the car came out of know where Three people died.

Detective:  Who were they?

Mom:  A family of three, with a 6 month old daughter. 

Kiersten:  What, when the hell were you going to tell me this?

Dad:  It’s all in the past honey

Kiersten:  I can’t believe you (She runs out of the room, the parents look at each other)

Hicks:  Well, it looks like the past has just caught up with you.

Dad:  (He looks back at the detective) Let me know what you find out detective.

Detective:  Sure, (He gets up and walks out of the room and to the front door.  The parents follow him) By the way, let me know if you can think of any other life altering incidents. He walks out the door and the scene ends.

Exterior:  Park, Day

            It is a beautiful day.  There are many people playing in the park.  Michelle is there babysitting a little boy.  He is over on the slide having a good old time with all of the other kids.  She isn’t really paying attention to the kid though.  He goes down the slide and falls but she doesn’t really pay attention to him.  She is more concerned about the magazine she is reading, “Teen People.”  The camera turns and sees Katie walking down the park path.  She walks up to Michelle and sits down.

Katie:  What’s up girl?

Michelle:  Babysitting that little rat over there.

Katie:  Sounds like fun

Michelle:  What do you need?

Katie:  I was walking by and I saw you over here, I thought I would drop by

Michelle doesn’t say anything, she just keeps on reading

Katie:  So, what’s the status with that freaky guy and Kiersten?

Michelle:  What am I?  The host of 20 questions?

Katie:  I thought you might know something.

Michelle:  Well I don’t-

Katie:  Shit, it must be that time of month, huh?

Michelle:  You bitch.  (Silence)

Michelle:  Finally, his mom is here, I can finally leave this dump.  (She walks over to the mom and then back to Katie)  See-ya later

Katie:  Where are you going?

Michelle:  Home (She walks away and then Katie walks away in the opposite direction.  Scene Ends)

Interior:  Car, Day

            Chris is driving is car along the country road. His car is winding back and forth around the country road.  The camera is stationary at points and it is also in front of him and beside the car.  The camera comes in the car and he is jamming to some music.  Next we see him downtown and he stops at a red light.  He looks over and we see two girls sitting on a bench.  They are real trashy looking.  They call over to him

Girl 1:  Nice car!

Chris:  (He looks over at them) Thanks

Girl 2:  Sexy, it’s real sex baby

The girls start to laugh

Girl 1:  Why don’t you take us for a ride and then we’ll take you for a ride.

Chris:  No thanks, I already have a girl.

Girl 2:  Yea, that preppy school bitch. 

Chris:  (He looks back at the light, it turns green, and then he looks back at the girls and smile.  He drives off)

Girl 2:  What a dick

We see Chris coming down a road and making a right hand turn down the lane to Kiersten’s house.  The camera is now situated outside the car and we see the car zoom past us.  He pulls up to her house.  Chris turns the car off and walks up to the front door and walks into the house.  He calls for Kiersten but he hears no answer.  The phone is off the hook and we hear that familiar sound.  Chris calls for her again.  No answer once again.  He goes over to the drawer and gets a knife out.  The tone of the situation gets worse, as we hear some dark music.  Chris walks up the stairs but he hears or sees nothing.  Chris is taking his time because he has no idea what is going on.  Who would do something in the middle of the day like this?  He walks up the first flight of steps and turns to the right.  Nothing.  He then continues to search the house.  He hears some faint moans and cries.  It’s coming from the third floor.  He walks a little faster and runs up the steps and into Kiersten’s room.  He opens the door and calls to Kiersten.  He looks around the room and sees Kiersten on the other side of the bed.  As he is walking over to her, the camera switches sides and we see a dark figure behind the door for a split second.  The camera turns back and we see Chris walking back to her.  Kiersten is lying on the floor crying.  She is obviously in some sort of pain. 

Chris: What’s wrong? Kiersten:

Kiersten:  (She looks up at him and then behind him)

Chris turns around slowly just to get a board in the face.  The room goes dark.  Scene ends

Some time passes but dark scene dissolves to see Kiersten staring right into the camera.  We can barely hear what she is saying.  If we can read lips, it looks like she is saying Chris, are you okay.  The camera turns behind her and we can see her kiss him.  We then turn back to Chris as his eyes are finally opening.  Kiersten’s Mom is in the background

Kiersten:  Are you okay baby?

Chris:  (He sits up, and moans) Yea, one hell of a headache.  What the hell happened? 

Kiersten:  You were knocked out by some guy in a black mask. 

Chris:  Where is he? (He quickly jumps up but then then he staggers back and forth).

Kiersten: He’s gone.  (She catches him as he staggers)   I got you; sit down honey, before you pass out)

Chris:  I’m fine.  (He stands up)

Kiersten:  Why is this happening?

Chris: I have no idea, but obviously he doesn’t want you dead.  Why is he toying with you?

Kiersten:  I don’t know but the cops don't no anything either.

Mom:  Your father went to the police station to get an arrest warrant. 

Chris:  I don’t want you out of my sight, okay

Kiersten:  But I am meeting Katie later on the hub lawn later

Chris:  Well, you’re going to have company now.

The scene ends as they hug each other.

Exterior:  Police Station, Day

            The scene opens to where we see the police station.  We know it’s a police station because the camera pans from the police station sign to the cars back to the building.  We then proceed inside.  We see the interrogating room, as well as the jail cells, which are empty for the one that we are looking at.  The camera then goes down to Detective Hicks office.  He is saying good bye to Kiersten’s parents. 

Hicks:  I will let you know of anything that turns up.  Take care

Hick’s walks back into his office and the closes the door.  He sits down at his desk and takes a sip of coffee.  He then turns his chair and picks up the folder on his desk.  On the manila folder, the name at the top says Kiersten Last Name.  He opens it up and reads through it.  He then throws it on the top of the desk and leans back on his chair.  As he is looking up in the air, he starts thinking out loud.  “The father mentioned 20 years ago they got in a car accident.  What is the date for that?”  He looks back through the folder but finds nothing.  He turns to his computer which has a cool cop screen saver on it.  After he types in his logon password, the computer says Welcome Back Detective, I have missed you.  “I have missed you too”.  He gets another sip of coffee and then takes a bite of donut.  The scene ends as he is searching for information on his computer.

Exterior:  Michelle’s House, Evening

            The sun is setting as we see a car pull up and a girl gets out of it.  It is Katie; she must obviously be here to amend the problem from earlier in the day when Michelle was giving her a bunch of shit.  She walks up to the door and rings the door bell. Michelle comes downstairs and answers the door.  She hardly has any clothes on. 

Michelle:  Oh, hi Katie, what’s up?

Katie:  Nothing much, I came over to talk you about this morning. 

Michelle:  Hold on a sec.  (She goes inside and then comes back)  Come on in Katie

They walk in and then up to Katie’s room

Michelle:  So what did you want to talk about again?

Katie:  Are we ok?

Michelle:  Yea, why?

Katie:  This morning, you were kind of a bitch

Michelle:  Yea it was just one of those days, know what I mean

Katie:  yea I hear that girl

Michelle:  Want something to drink?

Katie: Sure but I can’t stay long, I am meeting Kiersten tonight in the park.

Michelle:  Okay (She walks downstairs to get something to drink. 

Katie walks around the room looking at the pictures on the wall.  We can see that Michelle isn’t nearly as popular as Kiersten.  Most of the pictures are of her and Kiersten and Chris.  We see some award pictures but not without seeing Kiersten in it as well.  Usually Michelle is the runner up.  As she walks around the room she trips on the shoes on the floor.  They are mans shoes but she never really thinks about it.  She then looks down on a bad underneath the floor.  A door downstairs closes.  Katie goes to the window and looks to the driveway.  She sees a figure run off down the street.  She goes back to the bag under the bed.  She pulls it off, but as she does there is a pair on men’s boxers on top but Katie doesn’t know the boxer’s are mens.  She looks at the boxers.  “Boy, I guess Michelle likes baggy boxers” She drops them and opens the bag and pulls out pictures.  “Cool, pictures, lets take a look.”  As she starts looking at the pictures, they are obviously not pictures she was supposed to see.  They are all pictures of Kiersten, the same pictures that the guy was taking earlier in the movie.  She also pulls out a couple of newspaper clippings.   We see that Michelle as always been in Kiersten’s shadow.  As she is looking at the pile of pictures and clippings, a voice is heard from behind her.

Michelle:  It’s a bitch to be someone else’s shadow

Katie:  (Turns and drops the pictures) Why do you have these?

Michelle:  Why do you think, I hate that girl, my whole life, she is going to get what she deserves. 

Katie:  No, I am going to tell her right now (She walks over to the door)

Michelle:  I don’t think so you little tramp. (She shoves her aside and pulls out a knife)

Katie grabs a pictures frame and hits Michelle over the head with it.  She goes flying into the bed.  Katie does not think twice about her.  She runs down the steps and out to the car.  She gets in and drives off.  As soon as she drives off Michelle is standing there watching on the steps.  She pulls out a cell phone and dials a number.  “She’s heading to the park, do it”

Some time passes but we see a sign for the park and then Katie flies into the park lot all 4 tires locked up.  She gets out, but then looks behind her because she hears something.  She runs over towards the benches.  They are quite far a way because it’s a secluded place where only a few know about.  She is running but then she stops because she hears some more noises.  She turns around and sees a figure standing in front of her.  She is stunned.  The guy takes a swing at her but misses.  She continues to run, but now she has a follower.  The figure (we never see who it is) gains on her real fast.  He catches her jumps on her.  He and she are fighting on the ground as the knife gets closer to her chest.  She is no match for her attacker.  The knife goes right through her chest.  She makes some gurgling sounds but she doesn’t die.  The attacker stands up and watches her. She eventually makes it to her feet, and then stumbled forward.  We can now see Chris and Kiersten sitting on a bench, they have their backs to us.  Its is dusk right now so we can still see a little bit.  Katie calls to Kiersten she is barely audible.  Mostly only blood comes out of her mouth.  She falls down as she can hardly move.  She has a lot of will.  She is crawling now because she has to warn them.  She reached out to her but the attacker is right behind her now.  The attacker takes one more slash at her.  We see the knife as he holds it up in the air and the slams it through her back.  A slight whimper is heard from her.  We then see Chris and Kiersten on the bench from this angle as Katie has just been killed.  The scene goes dark as Katie’s hand falls from the air.  Scene ends

Interior:  Kiersten’s House, Night

            As night comes and the day leaves, Kiersten and Chris have left the park and returned home.  They are sitting at the kitchen table trying to figure out why Katie would stand them up. 

Kiersten:  Why would she do that?

Chris: Maybe something came up

Kiersten:  Maybe, but she wouldn’t do something like that.  Let me call Michelle (She picks the cordless phone off the table and dials the phone number)

Across the town we see Michelle cleaning up the mess that was made when her and Katie made earlier in the evening.  She picks up the phone

Michelle:  Hello (She has a preoccupied tone to her voice)

Kiersten:  Hey Michelle it’s me

Michelle:  Oh hi Kiersten

Kiersten:  What’s that noise?

Michelle:  Oh, I’m cleaning.  I broke glass earlier

Kiersten:  Oh.  Have you heard from Katie?  She was supposed to meet me earlier and she never showed up.

Michelle:  No I haven’t seen her since this morning.  She sounded like she was in a bad mood though. 

Kiersten:  Really.  Well if you see her, tell her to give me a call

Michelle:  Okay, see-ya.

She hangs up the phone and gets back to cleaning.  “You’re going to be waiting for that phone call for ever you little bitch.”  She laughs and we cut to Kiersten and Chris. 

Kiersten:  She hasn’t seen her since the morning

Her mom comes walking into the kitchen. 

Mom:  Its late guys, I think you need to get some sleep.  Chris, you’re welcome to stay her as well.

Chris:  Thanks

Mom:  Well, that character that was taking pictures of you has vanished.  The cops can’t find him.  I don’t know how he got into our house.  Here, I was supposed to get restraining older signed.  (She gives it to Kiersten)  Not like it will do much anyway. 

Mom:  Great, I will give it to Hicks tomorrow.  Come on now, off to bed

Chris and Kiersten walk up to Kiersten’s room.  Chris sits down on the couch.  Kiersten is changing into her pajamas.  We can see her changing but all we see is the back of her.  She comes out to where Chris is

Kiersten:  You coming to bed

Chris:  I am going to sleep out here.

Kiersten:  You can come in here to my bed

Chris:  I don’t want to disrespect your parents why they are here.  Its kind enough for them to offer me a place to stay for the night.

Kiersten:  Ok (She is disappointed)

Chris:  I will tuck you in though

That cheers her up.  He walks into the room with Kiersten.  She jumps into bed and gets under the covers.  Chris pulls up the covers and tucks her in.  As he does he kisses her on the forehead.

Kiersten:  Chris, I’m scared

Chris:  I know.  Don’t be.  I will not let anybody harm you.  I promise

Kiersten:  I love you

Chris:  I love you too

He hugs her and the he leaves the room and lies down on the couch.  The scene ends.

Interior: Kiersten’s House, Next Morning

            The scene opens to see Kiersten sleeping in bed.  She slowly opens her eyes and looks around the room.  She gets out of bed and looks out the window.  It’s a beautiful day outside.  The camera follows her every move as she turns around and walks out of her bedroom.  Chris is not on the couch, because he is probably taking a shower.  She sits down on the couch, picks up a magazine, and turns on the TV.  The news is on, but she isn’t really paying attention.  They are talking about the weather on the tube.

TV Reporter:  And to restate today’s top story, 19 year old Katie Last Name, has been brutally murdered last night in the park.

Kiersten looks up from her magazine and turns the T.V. up louder. 

TV Reporter:  Her body was found early this morning by a local resident as he was on his morning jog. Police have a suspect but they are still looking for a 21 year old college reporter.  He has reportedly been stalking Kiersten Last Name for the past week.  They are unable to locate them however.

Kiersten is stunned.  Her face has a total blank stare on it.  She has no idea what to think.  A tear comes down from her eyes.  Just as she starts to cry Chris comes out of the shower with a towel on him. 

Chris:  Good morning Kierst.  Whats wrong

Kiersten:  It’s Katie.  (She pauses)

Chris:  What about her?

Kiersten:  She’s, she’s dead

Chris:  What?

Keirsten:  In the park, she’s dead.  (She cries and falls into his lap)

Chris looks up at the TV in shock.  Come on, let’s go to my house.  Scene ends

Interior:  Police Station, Day

            We see Detective Hicks going through some old reports in his office.  He gets up and goes over to the filing cabinet and pulls out another folder. This one is entitled “1981-1982” cases.  He takes it over to his desk, sits down and reads it.  He gets to another newspaper clipping of the accident that left three people dead by Kiersten’s parents.  He picks up the phone and calls a subordinate.  Tells him to get him everything he can on that case.  He hangs up the phone and gets back to the folder. 

Interior: Chris’s House, Afternoon

            Kiersten is lying on the couch just staring at the ceiling.  Chris comes out of the bathroom and comes to lie down besides Kiersten on the couch.  He plays with her hair a kisses her on the cheeks.  Just then the phone rings.  Chris gets up and goes to the phone on the table.  He answers it

Chris: Hello.  (Pauses)  Yea, she is here with me.  (Pauses) Okay.  Bye

Chris comes back to the couch.

Kiersten:  Who was that?

Chris:  It was your Dad.  He said they got the restraining order filed.  They are on their way home.

Kiersten:  Okay, I am going to call Michelle, let her know what’s going on

She picks up the phone and dials but there is no answer at Michelle’s house.  She leaves a message.

Kiersten:  She isn’t home.  I will try again later.

Chris: Okay. Want to watch a movie?

Kiersten:  Sure.

Chris goes to the closest and pulls out a movie.  They sit on the couch and watch it.  The camera leaves the room and goes outside the house.  We can see that it is getting later in the day.  The scene ends

Interior:  Police Station, Early Evening

            We see a close up of the Detective Hicks sign on his office door.  He is pacing back and forth through the room with a phone in his hand.  “Yes sir.  I know sir.  Listen, I have one dead girl and another girl that is being stalked.  I have a suspect that has disappeared.  I can get to the bottom of this just as soon as you stop chewing out my ass.  I will have this bastard cracked by the end of tomorrow.”  He hangs up the phone.  “Fuck.”  He opens the door and yells for Dave.  A younger guy walks up to him with a folder. 

Dave:  Here you go sir.  Here is what you requested.

Hicks:  Thanks

He closes his door and walks through his office reading the information contained in the folder.  As he continues to read he sees there is a missing child from the family of three that were killed in the car accident in ’82. 

Hicks:  A missing child?

He throws it down and goes to his computer and starts typing. 

Hicks:  Who is this missing kid? 

Finally he finds a name.  We don’t see it the name but by the expression on the detectives face, nobody ever thought who is was. 

Hicks:  Shit, I don’t believe it.  When did this happen

He goes back to folder that Dave gave him a couple minutes ago. 

Hicks:  The night of September 19, 1982.  What is today’s date?

He looks over at his clock on his desk.  It says September 19, 2002. 

Hicks:  Holy Mother of God.

He picks up the phone and dials a number.  Kiersten’s mom picks up on the other line. 

Mom:  Hello

Hicks:  Hi.  This is Detective Hicks

Mom:  Oh hello.  

Hicks:  Is your husband there?

Mom:  Yes he is upstairs

Hicks:  Get him and yourself out of there right now. 

Mom:  Why?

Hicks:  I know the truth behind your case.  It is brought on by

Cut to Kiersten’s mom.  She can’t believe what she is hearing.   We don’t get to hear it though.  She hears a noise from the other room.

Mom:  Honey is that you

She turns around but sees nothing.  Cut to police station

Hicks:  Hello?  (The phone goes dead)  Mrs.  ______.  Fuck.

He grabs his gun and runs out the door of his office. 

Exterior:  Kiersten’s House, Evening

            The cop pulls up to Kiersten’s house in his truck.  He gets out and runs to the door.  He sees the door is open.  He takes out his gun and slowly proceeds into the house.  As he walks in, he can obviously see that there was some kind of commotion.  The phone is off the hook and he sees some blood on the floor.  He slowly peers around each corner as he goes through the entire house.  He walks upstairs slowly with his gun drawn ready to take on all comers.  As he continues his sweep of the house, he walks back downstairs.  He walks over to the phone which is off the hook.  He picks it up and places it back down on the receiver.  As he does that he hears a sound coming from the next room.  He is on his full alert now.  He walks over to the room.  He looks around and sees a closet.  He goes over to it and opens the door but he finds nothing.  As he turns away from the closet a dark figure springs at him with full force sending both of them to the floor.  The attacker is lying on top of the detective.  The detective punches him in the face with the backside of his hand.  This causes the assailant to sit up.  Hicks' throws him off of him.  Hicks scrambles to his feet and goes over to the assailant.  He picks him up and punches him in the gut.  But the attacker throws him into the wall of the house.  He then takes his knife from his pocket and sticks it into the cop’s chest causing blood to squirt out of his mouth.  The attacker pulls out the knife, and then shoves it into him one more time.  He stands up but leaves the knife in Detective Hicks.  Hicks slowly slides along the wall to the floor.  The camera gets a close up of his eyes and then we see the attacker walk away through Hicks’ eyes as they slowly close.  Hicks is dead.  The attacker then goes over to the front door and opens it.  Michelle walks in with a devilish grin on her face.

Michelle:  Go, I will finish up here. 

The figure walks past her and out into the darkness.  We then see Michelle go over to the wall with a bag.  She takes out some tacks and some pictures.  She starts to put them up on the wall.  The scene ends.

Interior:  Chris’ House, Night

            The scene opens to find Kiersten on the phone and Chris in the kitchen drinking a soda.  Apparently Kiersten has been trying to call her parents for the last half hour.  Kiersten talks to herself for her parents to pick up the phone.  She slams the phone down in frustration. 

Kiersten:  First the phone was busy, now no one is answering.  I’m going over there. 

Chris:  Why?

Kiersten:  Because they could be in trouble!

Chris: They are probably fine, but I will go with you anyway

They walk downstairs and to their vehicles.  But as soon as they close the door to the house, a man lunges at the two of them, taking down Chris.  Kiersten manages to get out of the way of the incoming man.  Chris is now on the ground with the man holding him to the ground.  He tells Kiersten to run. The man gets away from Chris and darts down the street.  Chris chases after him on foot.  Kiersten watches as the two men go running down the street.  She then jumps in her car and drives off.  Cut to two guys chasing each other.  The man in front is jumping over trash cans and bushes as he tries to evade Chris.  Chris running with all his power calls to the guy to get back here.  The chase continues.  Both men are starting to get tired now.  The attacker throws a kids bike in the way of Chris but he in unphased by this act.  Chris, thinking what the attacker might do next, turns on slant and sure enough the attacker turns right at the next intersection.  But it’s too late.  Chris jumps the bush and comes down on the attacker.  Chris turns him over and starts punching him.  The attacker manages to pull out his knife but Chris is able to take it away from him.  Chris holds the knife at an attacking angle.  He holds it above his head.

Attacker: Dude, come on now, put the knife down.  Its over.

Chris:  Your right, it’s over.

He slams the knife into his chest.  The scene fades to black.

Exterior:  Kiersten’s House, Night

            Kiersten has just  arrived back at her house.  She gets out of her car and runs up to the porch.  She flies through the front door screaming Mom and Dad.  She sees blood on the floor of the kitchen. She has a look of a ghost on her face.  She walks upstairs slowly and quietly.  She walks up to her room.  She is creeping around like a mouse would; slow but an occasional squeak.  As soon as she gets to the top of the steps she sees it on the wall.  The montage of Kiersten.  It contains many pictures and newspaper articles.  Kiersten takes a step back in astonishment, then she walks over to it and looks at it.  She sees pictures when she was younger, to pictures that were only a few days old.  As she is looking at the montage she looks to the middle where there is a newspaper clipping entitled “Family of Three Killed in Tragic Car Accident.”  We see key words of the accident but no much.  She then looks down to the right and we see a headline of a missing child found.  As she starts to read that, a footstep is heard from behind her.  Kiersten quickly turns around and sees a masked figure standing behind her with a knife.  The masked figure lunges at her but Kiersten avoids them and the attacker goes flying into the wall.  A moan comes from the attacker as Kiersten lunges on top of the attacker.  She is screaming obscenities into the air.  “I’m tired of this, stop following me, you fucking psycho.  She takes a vase and hits them over the head as they start to get up.  The attacker’s head falls back to the ground.  Kiersten sits on top of the attacker, but notices that long hair is coming out of the attacker’s mask.  The hair looks familiar.  She reaches for the mask to take it off. She gets it about half way off when the attacker grabs her leg and takes a swipe at her with the knife.  Kiersten screams in pain.  She manages to get to her feet and hobble downstairs.  She trips and falls once she gets down the flight of steps.  She manages to get back to her feet and run out of the front door and out to her car.  She pulls out her keys but she drops them in fear.  She picks them up and turns around but the attacker has managed to get right behind her.  The attacker grabs her hair and throws her to the ground.  Kiersten then takes a foot to the face.  Blood is running down her face now but she crawls away.  She gets back to her feet and runs a bit but then falls down in utter exhaustion.  She rolls over to lie on her back.  She looks up and sees the attacker walking at her at a relaxed pace.  As the masked figure walks towards her we see them taking the mask of their head.  It’s Michelle, Kiersten’s best friend.

Kiesten:  Michelle? Why, what, you bitch

Michelle:  Ahh, glad to see we still have our sense of humor.  Any last words before you die?

Kiersten:  Hundreds, but, (pauses) how about just one?  Why

Michelle:  To tell you the truth girl-friend, I am tired of being your shadow.  All my life I was second to you, and you know what, I am fucking tired of it.  Tonight, you will be runner up to me.  How does that sound.

Kiersten:  So, you are behind all this? 

Michelle:  Well, not exactly but who cares anyway.  You won’t be around to find out anyway.

Kiersten:  No wait

Michelle:  Sorry girl friend (She takes the knife to an attacking position) 

Kiersten puts her hands up to protect herself.  The knife comes close but it stops half way to Kiersten as Michelle drops the knife and we see a confused look on her face.  Blood drips out of her mouth.  She takes her hands to her stomach and then looks at them.  They are covered in blood.  She turns around and sees Chris standing there with a knife.  She falls to the ground as Chris stands their in amusement.  No words are exchanged. Kiersten jumps up and hugs Chris. 

Kiersten:  Thank god you were here.

Chris:  Yea, good timing huh

Kiersten:  Michelle mentioned something about someone else behind this.  Must be that missing child I saw on that newspaper article. 

Chris:  Must be

Kiersten: So it’s still not over

Chris:  Actually, it is over.  (He stabs her through her stomach.  She looks up in astonishment.  She can’t believe that Chris was behind this all along.  As she is falling away from him, he says quietly, “I love you.  Her eyes close as she hits the ground.  Chris turns and walks away and we see a newspaper clipping fall on top of Kiersten.  It is the article of the missing child found.  The clipping fades to black.

THE END.
