BARTENDER:

I suggest you leave right now sir.


ELIAS:

I see.
ELIAS stands up and walks over to the door. Before exiting he looks back at a room full of angry faces staring at him. SANCHEZ’S face seems to stand out among the crowd.


ELIAS:

Happy Friday the 13th, everyone.


ELIAS exits the building.

61. Ext. The Casino Night Spot – NIGHT


ELIAS walks over to his Mercedes just as the station wagon pulls up into the driveway. As ELIAS gets into his car, CHRIS and ZERNER exit their car.
CHRIS and ZERNER walk into the Casino, not speaking to each other.
Cut to

62. Int. The Casino Night Spot – NIGHT


CHRIS and ZERNER enter the room, and as the enter a room full of angry faces turn to them. CHRIS and ZERNER freeze. The people then turn their heads and begin mumbling among themselves. The music starts up again, and place finally gets loud.
CHRIS and ZERNER grab two empty stools at the bar, located where ELIAS was sitting next to SANCHEZ. CHRIS seats herself next to SANCHEZ, who turns to look at her.
SANCHEZ turns to her with a grin.
SANCHEZ:

Can you believe that some guy just walked in here claiming to be the father of Jason Voorhees?


ZERNER looks at CHRIS’ face as she freezes, looking ready to cry. She turns to SANCHEZ.
CHRIS:

No, I didn’t know that.


SANCHEZ:

You can’t come around here saying those things, even if they’re true. He’s lucky we all didn’t kill him tonight. If wasn’t so old I would have hit him. [Beat] Bastard killed my two twin girls back in 1984. Their names were Terri and Tina.


CHRIS:

That’s terrible. I’m sorry for your loss.


SANCHEZ:

I don’t recognize you, are you from around here?


CHRIS:

I used to live here, years and years ago. I’m just visiting now.


SANCHEZ:

Let me guess, you wanted to visit the town where the famous Voorhees murders took place. People used to leave this town because of the Voorhees murders, now they’re coming here because of them. It’s sick, really sick. The whole human race has just gone down the drain.


CHRIS:

Yes, Jason has become a celebrity. Like Charles Manson and Jack the Ripper.


ZERNER sits and observes as CHRIS talks about Jason with SANCHEZ.
SANCHEZ:

Were you alive when Jason attacked Crystal Lake? Did you live here?


CHRIS:

I was nineteen at the time. I remember him quite well. A face I’ll never forget.


SANCHEZ:

What did you say? Did you see Jason?


CHRIS:

I tried to kill him.


SANCHEZ looks around and keeps his voice low.
SANCHEZ:

Wait, your are…


CHRIS:

Chris Higgins.


SANCHEZ:

Holy Moses, this really must be Friday the 13th in Crystal Lake. First Jason’s father, and then one of his nemeses.


CHRIS:

What did Jason’s father have to say?


SANCHEZ:

That Jason’s alive.


CHRIS:

What!
SANCHEZ:

Yeah, the guy must not have known about Jason being killed. What a crack.
CHRIS:

There’s no body to prove that he’s dead. He was cremated.


SANCHEZ:

He was stabbed in the head, there’s no way he’s alive.


CHRIS:

It is possible. [Pause] But I really don’t want to think about it.


ZERNER is looking at them, fixed on their conversation.
CHRIS:

What?
ZERNER:

Are you alright?
CHRIS:

I’m fine. [Under her breath] Like you care anyhow.


SANCHEZ notices the tension between the two. He sits back and relaxes.

62. Ext. Camp Crystal Lake – NIGHT


The Limo pulls up in front of Camp Crystal Lake’s Dining Hall. There are tons of cars dropping people off, several other limos. A lot of teenage kids are walking about, heading for the dining hall. There is the sound of techno style dance music, and flashy lights seem to be shining through the seemingly dark interior of the dining hall.
VIKKI exits the limo first, followed by TRAVIS who takes her hand. TRACY and PAUL exit after them, followed by DWAYNE and LISA, who seem to be the liveliest of the three couples. People watch as they exit the limo and walk towards the dining hall.
The limo slowly drives away.
GABBY approaches VIKKI and TRAVIS, dressed in a white, sparkling dress. She walks to them with a suave walk and a devilish smile.
GABBY:

Travis, Vikki, I’m so glad that the two of you are finally here. Now I guess the real party can finally start.


VIKKI takes a deep breath before engaging in conversation.
VIKKI:

Gabby, you look wonderful. That dress is just-


GABBY:

Stunning, I know. Of course, hello, I picked it out.

TRAVIS breaks up the conversation.
TRAVIS:

Well, Gabby, it’s been nice. We’ll see you around.

GABBY:

Don’t be late lover.


VIKKI and TRAVIS begin walking. VIKKI has a perplexed look on her face.
VIKKI:

See you later? What does that mean?


TRAVIS:

How should I know? That girl, she’s crazy.


VIKKI and TRAVIS continue walking. They spot the football players all standing dressed in tuxedoes on the porch of the dining hall, laughing.
TRAVIS:

Huh, they all made it.


VIKKI:

Why don’t you go say hi? I’ve got to go find my dad anyway, let him know I’m here.


TRAVIS:

Do you want me to come?


VIKKI:

[Thinks to herself] No, that’s alright Travis. Go have fun.


TRAVIS walks over to the football team, which consists of muscled boys and fat kids, most without dates. VIKKI walks to the opposite side of the porch, where CHARLES is standing with PARKS.
VIKKI:

Hey dad.
CHARLES:

Vikki, you look… underdressed.
PARKS notices the disappointment that suddenly swept over VIKKI’S face.
PARKS:

He means that you look stunning. That dress is beautiful.


CHARLES:

What dress? If that skirt were any shorter it would be a belt.


PARKS:

Principal Charles!


VIKKI:

[Obviously hurt] Ms. Parks, if you’ll excuse me.


VIKKI begins to walk away.
CHARLES:

Vikki, don’t be like that.


VIKKI turns around.
VIKKI:

Dad, I understand you have to act like a hardass sometimes, but for once in my life could be act like a father.


CHARLES:

Vikki, you stop right there.


VIKKI turns and walks over towards TRAVIS and his friends. CHARLES starts to go after her but is stopped by PARKS.
PARKS:

Charles, I think it would be better if you didn’t cause a scene right now. Just let her vent.


CHARLES:

Who the hell do you think you are to tell me how to raise my daughter?


CHARLES violently walks away from PARKS, who simply shakes her head at him. PARKS walks down the steps of the porch onto the walkway. She approaches a police officer.
PARKS:

Excuse me, could you tell me where there’s a bathroom around here?


OFFICER 1:

Right over there, behind those cabins. The lighted path is the way to the outhouse.


PARKS:

Outhouse?


OFFICER 1:

Yes, it is an outhouse.


PARKS:

[Under her breath] Jesus Christ, I’ve got to get a new job.


Cut to

63. Ext. The Lighted Path to the Outhouse – NIGHT


PARKS walks along the path which is lighted by tiny lights planted into the ground. The opens the door to the outhouse, which has a blonde little girl painted on it. The door creaks when she opens it.
PARKS enters the outhouse and looks around. It is a quiet room, with four stalls and one swinging light above her head.
PARKS:

This is anything but an outhouse.


PARKS walks over to a stall and enters it. She sits on the toilet without lifting up the lid and opens her purse.
PARKS pulls out a pack of cigarettes and slides one out from the carton.
PARKS:

[Imitating CHARLES] Can’t smoke in front of the kids, it’s a bad role model.


PARKS puts the cigarettes in her mouth and lights it with a lighter. She inhales deeply before removing the cigarette and blowing out a large puff of smoke.
PARKS:

God this feels good. Peace and quiet. No shitty music, no bratty kids.


There is a creaking sound. PARKS jumps at the sound and drops her cigarette on the floor.
PARKS:

Oh shit.
She leans down to pick it up, and then sighs. PARKS exits the stall and walks over to the door.


PARKS opens the door and looks outside.
PARKS:

Is anyone there? Hello?


PARKS exits the outhouse and looks around. The wind is blowing through the leaves, rustling the leaves. PARKS shakes her head and raises her eyebrows.
PARKS:

Ugh, this place is just doomed. We’re all doomed.


PARKS starts walking down the path. She begins to walk towards a large, dense bush which the path curves around. PARKS pays no attention the odd rustling in the bush.
PARKS walks past the bush when a figure runs into her, making her jump. It is GABBY, who is making her way towards the bathroom. PARKS is startled and holder her chest as if she had a heart attack.
GABBY:

Ms. Parks.


PARKS:

Gabby, what are you trying to do? Kill me?


GABBY:

Actually I was headed to the outhouse.


PARKS:

[Catching her breath] The cop’s wrong. It’s a regular bathroom.


GABBY smiles and looks at the building.
GABBY:

Oh, I see. Is there a mirror in there?


PARKS:

Yeah. [Beat] It’s a shame you have to treck all the way out here simply to go to the bathroom. This place isn’t built for convienience. You think they would have put the dining hall and the bathroom next to each other.


GABBY:

You’d think. Oh well, at least we get the real outdoor experience.


GABBY laughs at her own joke, as PARKS stares at her, ready to leave.
PARKS:

Well, I’ll see you around Gabby.


GABBY:

Okay Ms. Parks.


GABBY walks into the outhouse and shuts the door. PARKS watches her enter and then shakes her head.
PARKS:

Let’s see, only four more hours left of this dance, of this terrible idea.


PARKS turns around and begins walking down the path. She hears a rustle in the bushes on the side of the path. PARKS stops, shakes her head with annoyance, and looks towards the noise.
PARKS:

That’s all that you kids try and do these days, drive the teachers to insanity.


PARKS walks over to the bush and her expression suddenly turns to curiosity. She squints her eyes at someone.
PARKS:

Who are you?


Suddenly someone [JASON] thrusts a pitchfork into PARKS stomach. PARKS grabs the pitchfork and holds on. Her mouth drops open and she begins to shake.
JASON’S mask appears out of the shadows. JASON lifts the hand to the pitchfork upward, lifting PARKS into the air. PARKS feet are off the ground and her whole body begins to shake furiously.
JASON then swings the pitchfork over his should and launches PARKS flying into the air. PARKS lands behind some bushes. JASON hears a creek in the door and turns his head.
GABBY walks out of the outhouse holding her handbag. She walks down the path with a swagger, as if she’s something else. GABBY has a smile on her face.
GABBY:

Oh Travis, our time is so near.


GABBY continues walking down the path, past a pitchfork which is stuck into the ground. GABBY pays no attention to the pitchfork but continues walking.
There is a noise in the bushes. GABBY stops walking and turns toward the noise. She looks around for a brief second, and then shrugs her shoulders. GABBY continues walking down the path, further and further from the pitchfork shoved into the ground.

65. Int. Camp Crystal Lake Dining Hall – NIGHT


Inside the dining hall the dance is underway. The DISC JOCKEY is playing dance themed music and is wearing a bright tuxedo with headphones on. Flashy strobe lights are decorating the room with constant movement.
VIKKI and TRACY are seated at a table. They appear board, as they watch their classmates dance. TRACY’S face almost looks disgusted by the way some of them act.
LISA approaches the table with a smile and a small party cup beverage. LISA takes a seat with them.
LISA:

You two are just the two biggest party-poopers here. You’d think that we’d be able to leave that to the band geeks but you two are really bored looking.


TRACY:

Not bored, just ignored.


LISA looks over at TRAVIS and PAUL, who are laughing with the football team in an opposite corner of the room.
LISA:

Oh I see.


LISA takes a sip of whatever is in the cup.
VIKKI:

So are you having fun?


LISA:

Of course! Dwayne’s about to break dance over there, do you guys want to come watch?


TRACY:

Is he really?


LISA:

Yeah, there’s like this whole competition thing going on over there. It’s really crazy.


TRACY looks at VIKKI, who gets up from the table with a burst of energy.
VIKKI:

Why not?
TRAVIS watches as VIKKI walks with TRACY and LISA over to a large group of people. He stops paying attention to his jock friends for a brief second, just watching VIKKI walk. TRAVIS’ train of thought is interrupted by GABBY, who presses her hand against his chest.


GABBY:

Hey lover.


GABBY turns her head to see what TRAVIS is looking at.
GABBY:

Oh, I suppose she’s being boring.


TRAVIS looks down at GABBY.
TRAVIS:

Not here Gabby.


GABBY:

Oh Travis, don’t be a dead fuck. Why do you want to stay with her? Are you afraid to dump the Principal’s daughter? She’s a bore, whereas I’m the life of this party. Think about it Travis, we’re the perfect match for this dance. Without me, the class president, this whole thing would have never been planned, and without you, the star quarterback, this whole thing would have been a disaster. So let’s give fate a try, shall we?


TRAVIS:

I can’t, not with Vikki here.


GABBY:

Travis, I’m rich, very rich. In fact, I’m possibly the daughter to the wealthiest family in Crystal Lake. I’m used to getting what I want, and now I want you. And if I don’t get what I want, I make everyone else’s time a living hell.


TRAVIS:

How do you mean?


GABBY:

I’ll tell her… everything.


TRAVIS suddenly gets worried. GABBY sticks her tongue out in a sexual way.
TRAVIS:

You wouldn’t dare.


GABBY:

I’ll tell her about us, I’ll even go into details. The Janitor’s closet, the boy’s bathroom, the girl’s locker room – oh yes, don’t forget that you were in the girl’s locker room. How embarrassing.


TRAVIS:

Don’t test me Gabby.


GABBY:

Oh, Travis baby, you’re being tested. I just want to see you ace the exam.


TRAVIS:

When?
GABBY:

Right now.
TRAVIS looks up at VIKKI once again, who is laughing along with the rest of the crowd as DWAYNE break dances on the floor. TRAVIS is ashamed, but walks away with GABBY anyway.
PAUL notices him leaving.

66. Int. The Casino Night Spot – NIGHT


CHRIS and ZERNER finally have their beers in front of them. They aren’t speaking, although ZERNER appears to be trying to start a conversation. SANCHEZ is still sitting next to them, eating a hamburger.
ZERNER breaks the silence between him and CHRIS.
ZERNER:

Can I ask you something?


CHRIS doesn’t look at him, but responds sullenly.
CHRIS:

Shoot.
ZERNER:

What’s bothering you?
CHRIS doesn’t answer, but stares into her mug of beer.
ZERNER:

Chris! What’s bothering you? I need to know, is it this place? Is Crystal Lake getting to you?


CHRIS:

I’ve told you pretty much everything, Greg. I’ve told you about my whole life, why did you bring me here?


CHRIS looks at ZERNER with a face that is strangely compassionate.
ZERNER:

To help you?


CHRIS:

Or to help your career.


ZERNER freezes, looking at CHRIS, shocked.
CHRIS:

I was nineteen, far too young to experience such a thing.


SANCHEZ discretely listens in on the conversation.
CHRIS:

Can you comprehend what its like for a nineteen year old girl to loose everything that she holds dear to her?


ZERNER:

I try.
CHRIS:

Jason killed my friends, all of them. The people who I cared for the most at the time. My parents and I weren’t speaking that much due to a previous incident, and I was at a point in my life where the people who I went to school with were everything. And I led them to their deaths, I took them there, here, to Crystal Lake, to Jason. This place isn’t rid of Jason, it just doesn’t remember. It can’t face the fact.
ZERNER:

Why’d you come back here then, Chris?


CHRIS:

I wanted to prove to myself that I’m strong. I don’t like to run from fear, and for twenty three years I’ve been running. I know that Jason’s dead, but my heart just can’t believe it.


There is a break. SANCHEZ looks away, down at his food. He has stopped eating and has become somber from the conversation which he eves-dropped on. ZERNER is stunned by CHRIS.
ZERNER:

Just give me the weekend to make all those fears go away.


CHRIS:

Greg, I may be crazy, but I’m not stupid. I know you have other intentions besides my well-being. This whole time I was wondering why you brought me here. You were too good to be true. A great looking doctor who wanted to help me and love me. But I’ve got to face reality.


CHRIS looks back down at her beer, not drinking it.
CHRIS:

I’m leaving, tomorrow morning, on the first bus out of here. I don’t want you to drive me, or my kids, anywhere anymore. When we get back to Boston I’m finding a new doctor.


ZERNER:

Can we still see each other?


CHRIS:

I’d rather not. You don’t love me, you love the success that I could bring you.


ZERNER:

But Chris, you need my help, you need to forget.


CHRIS:

I don’t want to forget, Greg, because remembering helps me to survive, it helps me to be thankful that I’m here today, with my kids. I value every second of life, and I’ll admit I have horrible memories, but I have good ones too. I would never want to forget when my children were born, or any point in their lives.


CHRIS gets up from the stool, reaches into her pocket, and lays a few dollars on the counter next to her beer. ZERNER stays seated.
ZERNER:

You’re leaving?


CHRIS nods, and walks out silently.
ZERNER:

Allow me to take you home.


CHRIS:

I’d rather walk right now.


SANCHEZ jumps in finally.
SANCHEZ:

If you need a lift I could give you one.


CHRIS:

Oh, that’s okay, I’ll just walk.


SANCHEZ:

No, I have to go back to the station soon anyway. See what troubled teens got caught doing illegal business before the dance.


CHRIS:

You’re a cop?


SANCHEZ:

The Sheriff of Crystal Lake. Have been since 1995. You don’t live here, so let me give you a lift around town.


ZERNER:

Sheriff, she’ll be fine, I’ll take her.


SANCHEZ gets up from the table.
SANCHEZ:

Lady don’t want your help.


CHRIS:

Thank you, Sheriff-


SANCHEZ:

Sanchez. Sheriff Sanchez.


CHRIS:

Thank you Sheriff Sanchez.


ZERNER:

Chris, wait!


SANCHEZ helps CHRIS exit the Night Spot. ZERNER shakes his head.
ZERNER:

Fuck!
Cut to

67. Ext. The Road Spot #3 – NIGHT
SANCHEZ opens the door to his side of the police car and gets into the car. CHRIS is already sitting in the passenger’s seat, rubbing her hands together to warm up.
CHRIS:

It’s chilly out here.


SANCHEZ:

I’ll turn on the heat when the car gets warmed up. So where are you staying?


CHRIS:

It’s right near Camp Crystal Lake. It’s actually on the lake.


SANCHEZ:

One of the rental houses?


CHRIS:

Yep, one of the rentals.


SANCHEZ starts up the car. A static noise comes from the police radio.
POLICE RADIO VOICE:

All units come in, all units come in. Over.


SANCHEZ smiles at CHRIS and picks up the radio.
SANCHEZ:

This is Unit CL001, what seems to be the trouble? Over.


POLICE RADIO VOICE:

Sheriff, you’re needed down at the O’Brian house. It’s 19 Cunningham Road. Over.


SANCHEZ:

Will do, over and out.


SANCHEZ puts the car in reverse.
SANCHEZ:

Looks like we’re going to have to make a stop on the way.


SANCHEZ puts the car in drive and drives off, out of the parking lot, onto the road. His sirens begins to blare.

Cut to


69. Ext. The Lighted Path to the Outhouse – NIGHT
The path is still quiet from the last time, nothing seems to have changed. The light inside the outhouse is lit and it shines through the small window near the top of the building.
DWAYNE is walking down the path, creeping along as if ready to scare someone. He walks past the pitchfork, which still stands firmly in the ground. There is a breaking noise in the bushes.
DWAYNE looks back, but pays no attention. He walks up to the door of the outhouse and presses his head against the door.
DWAYNE:

[To himself] Are you in there?


Watching him from the bushes is an unseen presence.
DWAYNE walks next to a metal pole sticking out of a watering device located near the door of the outhouse. The pole looks worn and rusty. He tries to find something to stand on to look into the bathroom.
DWAYNE:

Oh girl, you’re gonna get one hell of a scare tonight.


DWAYNE begins to climb atop the watering device. He has bad balance on the thing.
The figure from the bushes begins to move in closer behind DWAYNE’S back. The figure nearly reaches DWAYNE.
DWAYNE:

Oh shit, I can almost see in…


A hand reaches out and grabs DWAYNE’S leg. DWAYNE screams loudly before falling back. He tries to grab a hold of the pole but misses and breaks it off. DWAYNE lands on his back on the ground.
DWAYNE looks up to see that LISA was his attacker.
LISA:

Boo.
DWAYNE:

You piece of chicken shit! You could have killed me.
LISA smile with victory.
LISA:

Just giving you a taste of your own medicine.


DWAYNE gets up with the help of LISA and brushes off his purple tuxedo.
DWAYNE:

Damn girl, you got this tuxedo all messy. Now I’m going to have to pay a shit load of money to the rental store.


LISA:

Oh relax, it’s not that bad.


LISA grabs DWAYNE by the arm and they begin to walk back to down the path away form the dining hall. DWAYNE feels around on his wrist for a cufflink but can’t feel one.
DWAYNE:

Lisa, stop.


LISA:

What’s the matter Dwayne; forget your balls in the girl’s bathroom?

DWAYNE:

No, I dropped my cufflink somewhere.


LISA:

Are you for real?


DWAYNE:

Hey, it’s your fault. You’re the one who made me fall.


LISA:

Fine, fine, fine, I’ll look for this damn cufflink. What is it, silver?


DWAYNE:

Yeah, it looks just like my other cufflink.


LISA:

Well I don’t know, maybe they’d be purple to match your tuxedo.


DWAYNE:

Just help me look.


DWAYNE and LISA go back to the water device to look for the cufflink. LISA kneels down on the ground and begins to feel around. DWAYNE looks with his eyes.
DWAYNE:

Find it?
LISA:

No, it would probably be where that metal pole fell.
LISA looks around for the pole.
LISA:

But where’d the pole go?


DWAYNE:

Who cares, let’s just find it.


LISA:
What’s the matter, scared?
DWAYNE:

Annoyed.
LISA rolls her eyes as she continues to pat around on the grass. DWAYNE stand up with his arms crossed above her.
