- [Woman] On behalf of the staff and myself,

I would sincerely like to wish all those students

leaving for Christmas vacation,

a pleasant journey, and the happiest of holidays.

I would also like to take this opportunity

to thank those parents who have contributed

so generously to the school recreation and chapel fund.

- You have to stop being this way! You have to!

- Vivian.

Vivian, the game!

Vivian! The game! - All right, Harry!

- Will you hurry up, already?

- Come on, Leia.

- I spend a fortune to send this kid here,

you wanted to get her, okay, we got her,

now let's put her in a bag and get out of here.

Hey, a fortune I spent on the 50-yard line.

A fortune I spent on 50 yards,

and you're gonna wrap it all the way.

Wrap, wrap, wrap, wrap, wrap, wrap. You and that kid.

The two of you, you're gonna drive me nuts.

- Oh, take good care of him.

- Oh, I will. - Okay.

- [Woman] If somebody left their underwear

hanging on the south line they better remove them--

- Bye. - See you in two weeks.

- Okay. Bye. - Bye.

Buy some milk, okay?

- (laughs) I will.

- Bye.

- [Woman] Attention.

I think it would be proper, at this time,

on behalf of my staff and the rest of the student body,

to thank Mrs. Cowper's retirement attention

to this educational facility,

and to wish her the happiest of holidays

and a quick, safe return.

- You suck up!

- [Woman] Get away from that!

- Have a good time.

If you have the chance,

bring me back a couple presents.

- Okay.

- Men. (laughs)

- Okay.

- Okay, have a good time.

- [Woman] Because of delay in the day,

Mrs. Jensen says that dinner will be delayed 30 minutes.

And we'll be eating in the peer dining room,

instead of the main dining room,

which will be closed during the holidays.

Stop that!

- Good bye! - Bye.

- [Woman] In the main room in 20 minutes.

- [Presenter] All right, hi, people this is Fashiak

the Rocker-cranker, cranking out your old time high roads,

and here's our newest prize hit,

by a young up coming group.

(soft music)

- Do you know where I wish I was spending Christmas?

- In a funny hutch.

- I'd rather spend Christmas in a cave

than with my mother and her freaky artist friends.

- A cave?

That's going a bit far, don't you think?

- Not if you knew her mother.

- I wish I was going home.

- You would.

- Come on now, girls, dinner's ready.

- All right! Hey, Mrs. Jensen, what did you fix?

- Stew and for dessert, cherry pie.

(footsteps thumping)

- Oh!

- My favorite.

- Anything you can get your hands on

is your favorite.

- Shove it.

- Any particular place, sweetheart?

- Sex freak.

- Oh, I thought I had that title wrapped up.

- You shouldn't let the others get to you.

- They don't. Not really.

- Come on, let's eat, I'm starved.

(ominous music)

- Now you can start.

- Smells great, Mrs. Jensen.

- Oh, thank you, Nancy.

Mrs. Calvin called.

She won't be back until after the weekend.

Her mother's ill.

Poor woman.

She says to be good,

and not to get into any trouble.

In the meantime, I'll be looking out after you.

(footsteps thumping)

- Great! I couldn't have planned this better if I tried.

- Planned what?

- Shh, keep your voice down, or Jensen will hear you.

- Well, is somebody going to tell us something?

Or are we just going to sit here until we start laying eggs?

- Something's going to get laid.

- What time are they coming?

(both laughing)

- Go ahead, Leia, tell them.

- T.J. is coming up with a few of his friends tonight.

- Oh, how nice.

(Leia giggling)

- Pass the stew.

He's flying.

- You're telling me.

- And his father's plane stupid.

He called me this morning.

And with Mrs. Calvin gone for the weekend,

you're going to have one hell of a time!

- In that case, then, I suppose

I'll tidy up a little bit.

- Who's he bringing with him?

- I don't know, he didn't say.

(footsteps thumping)

- Now, the pie.

It's for dessert.

Where's Cynthia?

- Oh, she wasn't feeling well, so she went up to bed early.

- Oh. Maybe I should take something up to her.

- She said she wasn't hungry.

- Cynthia!

(ominous music)

Cynthia?

(ominous music)

Cynthia!

- Paul?

Paul, is that you?

- Yeah!

Hurry up, come on.

(ominous music)

Come on, let's go!

(ominous music)

No, no!

God! Help!

- Have you no pride at all?

(Nancy laughs)

- How would you like this in a very delicate place?

- Come on, you two, shut down.

What time are they coming?

- [Leia] Midnight.

- Oh God. Bless whoever built that airstrip.

- God bless airplanes.

(door creaking)

(ominous music)

(Cynthia screams)

(ominous music)

- I think I'm going crazy.

- [Melody] What's the matter?

- (laughing) Not enough pie.

(all laughing)

- [Melody] Now why didn't I think of that?

- I just thought I saw something outside.

- Keep watching, any minute now,

eight tiny reindeer are going to be coming along,

and one of them is going to have a shiny red nose.

- You better lay off the junk food, kid,

you're beginning to have sugar hallucinations.

- I know I saw it.

I think.

- I think I'll go get a Kleenex.

- Bring me some perfume, will you? The Chanel.

- Okay.

- I saw it.

(Leia humming)

- Where are you? Aha!

Great!

Oh, Jesus, you scared the hell out of me!

- Miss Samantha has me looking on the plants.

It's our duty to take care of the plants.

- Yeah.

- God put them here to give us pleasure.

- Yeah, yeah.

Excuse me.

Oh, by the way, Mrs. Jensen cooked up

some cherry pie and stew.

Better hurry on down before it's all gone.

- I like cherry pie.

- Yeah. (chuckles)

You and Nancy both.

- I like Nancy too.

(footsteps thumping)

(utensils clanking)

- Oh dear, so much stew left over.

(footsteps thumping)

- Oh, it's Fast Ralph. What's happening, sibling?

- Hello, girls.

(all laughing)

- I think he used to be a gargoyle

on the south side of Notre Dame.

I got the stuff!

(door slams)

- Hello, Ruth.

- Oh, hello, Tina.

- Ralph.

- You look wonderful.

- Oh yeah, real great, real great.

By the time those butchers get through with me,

I'm gonna be nothing but leftovers.

I brought some cannoli.

- Oh!

- What's cannoli?

- Here, Ralph, put it in the fridge.

(footsteps thumping)

- So, what did the doctors say?

- They have to perform the bypass.

20 years I'm riding my bicycle.

Best exercise in the world, they tell me.

They have to perform a bypass.

- Don't you go worrying now,

everything's gonna be all right.

- All right, my foot. I'm gonna die!

We all gotta die. I know I'm gonna die.

Death is no stranger to me.

I buried three husbands.

So you think that's so bad?

After the third one, it's just a piece of cake.

- Mrs. Jensen, have we got a surprise for you!

Oh hello, Mrs. Ranzini...

Ranzoni.

- A surprise, for me?

- Yes, the girls and I have decided

that we're gonna do all the dishes and the cleaning up.

We insist that you go to bed early,

and leave everything to us.

Now, you just go on, and I'll fix you

some nice hot milk and I'll bring it to you.

- Oh, Leia, I don't know.

- Well, I do, now you just go on.

It's about time you get a good night's sleep.

- Good night.

- Good night, Ralph. Sleep tight.

- I don't know how you stand that big gazock around here.

He gives me the creeps.

- Oh, Ralph's a good boy.

He means well, and he's very handy.

- I'm putting milk on, now.

- You shouldn't working here, Ruth,

with all those rich, little pompous bitches,

living out here in the middle of nowhere.

If something goes wrong,

you think they're gonna tell the house mother?

- Now, Tina. They're good girls!

- I'll be back in a moment, you go on to bed!

- I will.

- Good night, Mrs. Ranzoni.

- So, did you pull it off?

- Of course! She's on her way to bed and sweet dreams.

- Are you sure that stuff is gonna work?

- Oh yeah, yeah, she'll sleep for

10 or 12 hours, guaranteed.

She may even sleep forever.

- I wonder what she dreams of.

- Oh, who cares, as long as she doesn't bother us.

Nancelina!

- What?

- You are going to give her the milk.

Well, you're the only one she won't suspect

of being underhanded!

(Nancy sighs)

- Why do I always have to do all the dirty work?

- Because.

- I have to go, now, Ruth.

You really should think about

doing something more with your life.

- Now you take care of yourself, Tina.

Let me know if there's anything you need.

- Not unless you've got any spare bodies laying around.

Listen, I'll stop in on my way back from Mrs. Willaby's.

That is, if the grim reaper doesn't come calling.

- I appreciate the cannoli. Thank you.

- Yeah, thanks!

(door creaking)

(door slams)

(ominous music)

- Mrs. Jensen?

- Oh, hi Nancy.

- Hi, I brought you your milk.

- Oh, that's awfully sweet of you girls.

- Well, it's the least we can do for you.

You've been so nice to us.

- You go to bed early, and be good.

- We will. Good night!

- Good night! Pleasant dreams!

- [Nancy] You too!

(metal clanking)

(airplane engine revving)

(ominous music)

- I think I can hear the plane.

- Yeah, come on, we better hurry,

maybe we can hit them with our flashlights!

- Hey, I thought they weren't

supposed to be here until midnight.

- So they're early, more time for fun.

(footsteps pattering)

- Oh, Ralph.

- You shouldn't be out here at night like this.

It's dangerous.

- Oh, it's all right, Ralph.

Some of Leia's friends are coming up.

- Well, you can take my flashlight.

- Thank you.

- I want you to be safe.

- Hurry it up, hurry it up, we've been waiting!

- Hey guys, ransacking time, let's go!

- Stop it!

- Varying things, of course.

- Of course? You're late!

- This isn't scheduled airlines!

- No lie!

- Okay.

I'm ready!

- What do you want, what do you want? You silly twit!

(both moaning)

- Well worth the flight.

- Hey, here I am.

- Probably a hell of a lot better than you did,

dickhead, should have used reindeer!

- Didn't you hear? - About what?

- They're on strike this year.

Something about wanting their own union.

- Oh, you're crazy! (laughs)

- You're cute.

(Alex giggling)

- Tally-ho!

- Thanks, master T.J.!

- Stay with the plane, okay?

- We've got room for him.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- I don't.

Stay with the plane.

- Yes, sir!

(footsteps pattering)

(girls giggling)

- Nancy, what are you doing here?

- Looking for you.

- Well you found us, now come on!

- Someone remember to come back later and get the luggage.

- Yeah, kid.

(guitar playing)

- I don't sing so good.

- That was beautiful.

You know, I've often thought of taking up the guitar.

- It beats carrying around a piano.

(door creaking)

(ominous music)

(footsteps pattering)

(knife creaking)

- You know, there was a time when doctor's

couldn't take an X-ray picture of the brain,

because the cranium was so thick,

the only way they could get the X-ray

to take a picture of an abnormality

was to inject with colored dyes or air bubbles.

- I hope I never get sick. - By the time you're 30,

we should have most things licked, except accidents.

- I'll go get us a couple of beers.

- Hurry.

- Don't get impatient!

It's gonna be a long night.

- And now we have this new computerized

head scanner that can automatically show us--

- Alex!

You're going to bore this sweet young thing to death.

- Am I boring you to death?

- No. I'm enjoying it, really.

- Lady, you have a hell of a high pain threshold.

- Excuse me.

(footsteps thumping)

(ominous music)

- Tom?

Will you stop messing around,

and seduce me like a man?

Oh Tom, take that bloody mask off.

Take me to bed.

(Trisha screams)

(ominous music)

- You should be in bed.

- Well,

we're just having a little party, Ralph.

- It's late, and you should be in bed.

- I will.

- And lock your door, too.

I want you to be safe, Nancy.

There's evil here.

I can feel it, the devil's here.

- Don't worry, Ralph, I will. Good night.

(footsteps thumping)

(guitar playing)

- That was a wonderful song. Who's it about?

- I wrote it for my little brother when he was born.

- Where the hell is Trisha with the beer?

- Maybe she left you. (chuckles)

- With my charm?

No chance.

(all laughing)

- Tom sure is funny, and not his shirt.

(all laughing)

(ominous music)

- Trisha?

(footsteps thumping)

Oh, Trisha?

(ominous music)

Come on, miss high society.

Get your act together!

I'm in no mood to play hide and seek!

(Leia screams)

- You were supposed to wait for me!

I was gonna put on something even sexier

and drive you crazy!

- You're already driving me crazy.

(Leia laughs)

(Leia screams)

(both laughing)

- Oh!

Oh!

- Trisha?

(ominous music)

Trisha!

(Tom screams)

(spade thuds)

(ominous music)

(footsteps thumping)

- Hey, where is everybody?

- Gone to bed, or wherever.

- It doesn't sound like a bad idea to me.

- Not a bad idea at all.

Come on, genius.

Time to put your measurable knowledge to work.

- Well, I think you better show me to my room.

- Exactly what I had in mind.

- I think I had too much to drink.

- Half a beer?

- Uh-huh.

- You wouldn't be chickening out on me, would you?

- Oh, well...

- (chuckles) Come on, Einstein.

It's time for your advanced course in relativity.

(footsteps thumping)

- All right!

- That wasn't what I meant.

- It'll do, won't it?

- Maybe.

- Let's find out!

(footsteps thumping)

(both panting)

- You're out of breath!

- You're gonna wear me down, then I'll be useless.

- [Sam] Come on, a big, strong boy like you?

- Big, yes, but strong?

Not if we keep this up!

(both panting)

- (groaning) Oh, my back!

Help me!

- (laughs) You're faking it!

- That's what my high school coach used to tell me.

This better be worth the chase.

- It will be.

(footsteps pattering)

(both panting)

Oh, sit still a little. (chuckles)

- (panting) We can't do this here.

- Why not?

- Other people might come in.

- Are you kidding?

They're all out for the night.

(both panting)

(ominous music)

(Leia humming)

(Leia laughing)

- Girl, have you seen that wall over there?

You're gonna drive me straight up it.

- Oh, we've never done it on the wall before!

- No, we haven't. Well, we've done it everywhere else.

- Hey, come on, tiger.

- Hey, wait a minute. Time out, time out, coach.

- What?

Oh, time out?

(glass clanking)

You have drunk all the wine.

- How about you grab us a couple of beers?

- Oh, energy for the troops, eh?

- It's me, the troops!

(Leia laughing)

- Oh! All right!

(T.J. laughs)

You just lie there and be comfortable, fly boy.

Let me take care of everything.

- [T.J.] Come here, you. I'm gonna get you!

- [Leia] You know, you've been hanging around

in high altitude for too long.

Are you sure you still want that beer?

- [T.J.] You know what I want? - Yes, sir!

(both gasping)

Jesus, you scared me!

What are you doing, haunting the halls?

- I was just on my way to get some milk.

- Come on. I need to get some beer for the troops.

- Okay.

- Come on.

(door slams)

(footsteps thumping)

- Man, this is the best vacation I've ever had.

I'm gonna marry this one. (chuckles)

- That's kind of a sudden decision.

- Honey, his fortune is too much to count.

And besides, he's not so bad in the sack, either.

Not the best, mind you, but not the worst.

(ominous music)

Are you doing okay?

- Sort of. (laughs)

- Don't worry, your time will come.

In the meantime, here's your milk. (laughs)

- Thanks.

- Ew! - Blood.

- Fast Ralph probably cut himself with the shears.

Well, see you later cat, I gotta reel this sucker in.

(ominous music)

(footsteps thumping)

(Nancy screams)

- Sorry. - It's you. (giggles)

- I just came to get a drink.

- I have some milk.

- Fine.

(milk pouring)

Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Good night. - Good night.

(door creaking) - What are you doing here?

- Shh.

Something is wrong.

Something is happening here.

- What do you mean, Ralph?

- Miss Nancy, I'm a man of the land.

And I know y'all don't think I know much,

but I know when something is wrong.

You've gotta watch yourself.

- Don't come any closer, Ralph.

- You're the only one, out of all of them,

you're the only one.

I like you, Nancy, and I want you to be all right.

You must pray.

Pray so the devil won't claim you for one of his own.

I'll be with you.

I'll take care of you, I promise.

- Good night, Ralph.

- Good night, miss Nancy, and pray, please!

(Alex muttering)

- Well?

Do you like it?

- Measurement...

It's very nice.

- Nice?

That's the best you can do?

- Well, what I mean is it's very nice.

- Do you know how much this cost?

- No.

- A fortune.

And you don't like it.

- No, I mean, I like it, really.

- Really?

- Really.

- You've never done it before, have you?

- Done what?

- You know.

- Oh, of course I have.

- Of course you haven't.

- Well, I almost did, once--

- Imagine, I get to do a first timer. Come here, you.

- I'm all right here.

- You'll be better over here.

- I really have to be going to bed.

- Exactly where I'm trying to put you.

- Well, what I mean is...

(Alex thuds)

- I know what you mean. Now come here.

Come on.

Who buys your shorts?

- I do.

- They're awful.

- Oh, I'm sorry!

(Melody laughing)

Oh!

Oh, God.

- I'll be changing that to "Oh, Melody."

- Oh, Melody.

- Oh what?

- Oh, nothing.

- Oh my. (giggles)

- Oh my God.

Oh dear.

(ominous music)

(bucket clanking)

I think the Rams are definitely

going to win the pennant.

(all laughing)

- What's gotten into you?

That's the first time I heard you talk about

anything besides X-rays and molecules.

- I'm not so sure you boys should be staying here.

It's not allowed, you know.

- Oh, we didn't mean to stay so long.

As soon as we repair the plane,

we're out of here!

- Yeah.

- You look so young to be flying an airplane.

(T.J. laughs)

- I mean, heck, my father taught me to fly when I was 18.

- Besides, he brought a pilot.

- Well, I hope you get it fixed.

Because it's not allowed by school rules

for you guys to stay overnight, you know?

The superintendent's gonna be back tomorrow

and she's gonna be very angry.

- Oh, don't worry, we'll be out of here as soon as possible.

- Mrs. Jensen, did you sleep well?

- Oh.

Yes, thank you.

- Hey, where are the others?

- [T.J.] Oh, who cares? Who needs them?

I'm having a good enough time without them.

- [Leia] Probably still crashed out.

- Listen, I've got a dynamite idea.

- [Leia] I thought you were tired.

- Wise guy, huh?

It's a dynamite day, let's have a picnic.

- I like it! We can play some football or something.

- Or something? Everybody has this something on their mind.

- Don't get carried away, Tarzan. Not yet, anyway.

- Whoa! (Leia laughs)

- [Alex] Oh, don't tell me the whizz kid finally scored.

What did she say her name was? - [Both] Melody.

- That's one interesting tune.

- I can go get the others.

- Yeah, tell them to hurry up.

(footsteps thumping)

(door knocking)

- Trish.

Sam?

Is anybody home?

(door slams)

(Melody screams)

- Oh, brother, have you changed.

- It's Your fault.

- Fault? I thought it was a beautiful gesture.

- Oh it was, and I'll never be the same.

- Good.

- Hey, come back here!

- Come and get me!

- Oh, you asked for it.

- [T.J.] I wonder what the hell happened to Tom and Trisha.

- [Leia] Oh, I don't know, they're probably

lost in the woods.

- I promised them a good time.

- Well, I'm sure they're having a good time.

- I think I'm gonna go for a walk.

- Now, don't get into any trouble.

- Fat chance.

- Hey, Nance? - Huh?

- Don't sweat it.

You'll get lucky sooner or later.

- You sure have a way with words.

- Did I say something wrong?

- Well, you could have kept your mouth shut.

- Hey, can I help it if she's so damn sensitive?

- T.J. sometimes you can be such a horse's ass.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

- That's not what you said last night.

- Oh, I change when the sun comes up.

- Dracula's daughter?

(Leia screams)

Yes! (chuckles)

(ominous music)

(birds chirping)

- I'm gonna get you! (Nancy gasping)

Oh, hey, don't get mad. I was just having fun.

- It's okay. (panting)

- What you doing?

- Walking.

- Oh.

- You're cute.

- No I'm not. - Yes you are!

- No, I'm not. - Yes, you are.

- No I'm not!

(Alex chuckles)

(Alex groans)

- Alex, don't. Alex!

You're crazy!

(Alex groans)

(footsteps thumping)

(Nancy screams)

(ominous music)

- Thanks for your help.

But from the way Kramer was found,

it's obvious what happened.

- Who would ever want to kill Ralph Kramer?

- That's what I'm gonna find out.

Now, I'm gonna have to get in touch with the other kids,

and, probably contact their parents.

- Hey, do you have to do that?

It's gonna be a bit awkward, you see,

they think we're somewhere else.

- Are you serious? Christ's sake.

(footsteps thumping)

- Hey man, look, whoa, hold on!

Can't you keep us out of it?

We're gonna wind up in a lot of trouble

if our parents find out about this!

Anyway, we didn't kill the old nut!

- I appreciate your dilemma, son,

but a man's been murdered, do you understand me?

Now, does anyone else know where the others might be?

- Please, if anyone knows anything, tell the officer.

This is very serious.

- Look, I know you might feel

you need to protect the others, but think of this,

there's been one murder already, there might be others.

For Christ's sake, your friends might be in trouble!

Come on.

- Mister Polansky, if we knew anything, we'd tell you,

but we don't.

You don't think they could've killed Ralph?

- Everybody's a suspect, miss,

I just wanna know where they are.

My men have searched this place

with a fine-toothed comb

and haven't come up with anything.

- What do you think could have happened to them?

- I don't know.

But am sure as hell gonna find out.

I've been a cop for all my life.

Been chief of police here for almost a year

never had a case I couldn't figure.

I don't intend this to be the first.

- We'll do anything we can to help you, officer.

And the superintendent will be back tomorrow.

I know she can help you.

- I'm gonna leave two of my men here around the clock.

I want you to stay indoors,

so I can locate you at a moment's notice.

Understand?

- Mister Polansky?

- Yes.

- I'm really scared.

I may be crazy, but I'm really scared.

Ralph came into my room last night,

and he told me that...

I don't know, he was just like preaching religion to me.

- Oh, he was always running about--

- No Leia!

He told me that something evil was happening.

And I should have told somebody.

- You can't hold yourself responsible.

Can you foresee the future?

- That doesn't make me feel any better.

- I know.

I know.

I did some checking on Kramer.

He spent time in a mental hospital.

Two accounts of armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon.

He didn't exactly hang around with a gentle crowd.

I'll check on some of his old friends,

maybe they had something against him.

I promise.

I'll check on him.

If anything comes up,

or you find anything important, give me a call!

Bye, Ruth.

Sorry to inconvenience you.

(door creaking)

Remember, stay indoors tonight,

and make sure this place is locked up tight.

(door slams)

- What we all need is a good hearty meal.

I'll start dinner.

- Something's happened to the others, I know it!

- Oh, come off it!

Just because weird Ralph has got himself murdered

doesn't mean something happened to the others.

- Look, Leia's right, don't go getting crazy for nothing.

- Leia's wrong.

- What do you mean?

- Just what I said, Leia's wrong.

They wouldn't split without telling someone.

Maybe not me, but certainly T.J.

- Man, don't start getting weird on me.

- It's not weird! It's just a fact.

- Who do you think you are, Sherlock Holmes?

- I wish I was,

then I wouldn't be so preoccupied for my life.

- I knew we were in trouble.

- Maybe Mrs. Jensen has some ideas.

- Are you kidding? She's lost outside the kitchen.

- Well, we've gotta do something.

- What?

- I don't know.

- Oh, we're all worried about nothing.

They'll be back any minute!

At least, that's what I think.

And if you're smart, you'll think the same.

- I don't know what to think.

- Man, this whole thing sucks.

(footsteps thumping)

- Alex? Do you really believe we're in danger?

- Yes.

- Why?

- I already told you.

- Just because the others didn't come back?

- They're never coming back.

- I don't believe this!

You're all crazy! (crying)

- I believe you.

- I wish I was wrong. - Oh, me too.

- I'm sorry I scared you this afternoon.

- It's okay.

- You must have been really scared.

- I was.

- I won't let anything happen to you, I promise.

- I'm scared.

- Me too.

(footsteps thumping)

- [Polansky] Hey, you two, come here.

(footsteps thumping)

I want this place patrolled around the clock, all right?

You figure out your own schedule.

If anything goes wrong, I want you to know

that I'm gonna have you transferred

to the middle of the desert.

- Don't worry about it, chief, we'll take care of it.

- Okay, okay, one other thing, wrap.

You know, the people that send their kids to this school,

they have a lot of political power.

So you put your hands on any of those little fillies,

and I'll personally change your vocal pitch.

You got me?

- Chief.

I got a definite feeling

we got no opportunity for advancement.

- I think we'd do better being the bad guys.

- There's a lot of material around here to be bad with.

(both chuckles)

- Mrs. Jensen?

Can we talk with you for a minute?

- Oh, sure.

- Mrs. Jensen, I think we're in quite a bit of danger.

- Danger? Why should we be in any danger?

- Ralph was murdered.

The man who murdered him could still be around.

- Oh dear.

That must be why the chief left the policemen here.

Well, I think we should be safe enough.

With the policemen around here to protect us.

- Oh, I guess so. We just wanted you to know.

- We wouldn't want anything to happen to you.

(Ruth chuckles)

- I keep this. No one will get smart with me.

- (chuckles) I'm sure they won't.

(Ruth humming)

(ominous music)

(Melody humming)

(Melody giggling)

(utensils clanking)

- Well, I guess I better get out of here.

- Good. - I'm gonna get some shut eye,

and I'll relieve you at 12:00.

- Right.

- Do you really believe we're in that much danger?

- Hey, if I were you, I wouldn't worry about a thing.

Whoever killed Ralph Kramer is probably miles away by now,

at least, he should be.

Anyway, we're gonna be here until he's caught.

- Anyone like anymore coffee?

- No, thanks.

- How about some more of my

special cranberry jello surprise?

- (chuckles) No thank you, ma'am.

I've had so much already, I can hardly move,

and I've got to get some sleep.

- Oh.

Well, I'm sure we can put you up in a room here.

Leia.

- Come on. I'll show you your room.

(Jim coughs)

- Look, I think we're getting all worked up over nothing!

- For once, I wish you were right.

Where have you been?

- Changing.

- Oh.

- Well, at least I feel a whole lot better

with the police being here.

(footsteps thumping)

- (sighs) Well, here you are.

Hope you like it.

- So far, so good.

Who lives here?

- Me.

(both chuckling)

If you need anything, just holler.

- Holler.

- Maybe later. (giggles)

(policeman sighs)

- I'm through now, so good night, everyone.

- [All] Good night!

- I checked all the doors and made sure they're locked.

Don't stay up too late.

- [Nancy] Okay. Bye.

- She doesn't seem to be too worried.

- A staunch upbringing, no doubt.

- I wish I were home.

- I thought you'd rather be anywhere but home.

- And here.

- Well, why don't we open up our Christmas presents?

That might cheer us up.

- [Alex] Yeah!

- It isn't Christmas yet.

- So what?

- We should wait and do it properly!

- If we're around that long.

- Oh, would you get off it?

- Hey, where are you going?

- I'm gonna take a shower.

- Sounds great.

- Alone.

(footsteps thumping)

- [T.J.] Suit yourself.

- [Leia] I usually do.

- One of these days.

- You should ask your pilot in, it'd be one more hand--

- No, look, no way!

I hate the guy.

Besides, he's probably too stoned to walk anyways.

He did something for my father, a few years back,

saved his life, something like that.

- Melody's right. - No way!

- We need all the help we can get!

- Look, nothing is going to happen.

- What about the person who murdered Ralph?

- Yeah.

- Like the cop said, he's probably

a thousand miles away by now.

- What about the others?

- Hey, you know Tom and Blake. (giggles)

- Do you think we're going to be all right--

- Of course!

Look, everybody's running around

like they have the heebie-jeebies or something.

- I hope you're right.

- Ease up, huh?

Just listen to T.J.

I'm gonna grab a beer, does anybody want one?

- No.

- No?

- I'll take one.

I need it.

- Stay right there.

(Melody giggling)

(ominous music)

(bottle clanking)

(ominous music)

(door creaking)

Anyone there?

(ominous music)

(footsteps thumping)

(door creaking)

- [Leia] You are terrible!

- [Jim] That's what the chief thinks too.

But fun to be with.

(Leia giggling)

You know the one about the Louisiana swamp?

- [Leia] No.

(Leia laughing)

(door slams)

(ominous music)

- Thought you guys might have run out on me.

- No chance. We just felt more comfortable in here.

- I think I'm gonna check this place out.

- I'll go with you. - Okay. Do you guys wanna go?

- No, I think we'll wait here.

(ominous music)

- Seems okay.

(ominous music)

(footsteps pattering)

- The hell are you doing up here in that dumb outfit?

(ominous music)

(bell dings)

- I feel like a trapped rat in here.

- Yeah, me too. I feel like I can't breathe.

- Well, let's go get some fresh air.

- I don't think that's such a good idea.

- You're not buying all this crap, are you?

And besides, we have Starsky and Hutch

right outside to protect us.

- Are you sure?

- What about going outside or about Starsky and Hutch?

- (chuckles) Both.

- I'm sure.

- Maybe we shouldn't.

- Marilyn... I mean Melody, Melody!

(Melody chuckles)

Five years of karate. Ha!

I'm a black belt!

(Melody chuckles)

Nobody gonna mess around with this boy!

Come on.

(floor creaking)

(ominous music)

(door creaking)

(ominous music)

(door creaking)

- I think we're beginning to hear things.

- Maybe.

(door creaking)

(floor creaking)

(ominous music)

- Let's go check upstairs.

- Okay.

(ominous music)

(door slams)

I don't like this.

- What's up there?

- I don't know, I've never been up there.

- Let's find out.

- Okay.

(ominous music)

(footsteps pattering)

(ominous music)

- Does anybody live in there?

- I don't know, I don't think so.

- There?

(ominous music)

Seems all right.

(ominous music)

(footsteps thumping)

- (gasps) What was that?

- I think it was a draft.

- Don't.

- Do you wanna stay up here all night?

- No.

- Just wait.

(ominous music)

- You can't start worrying about these things.

You'll take the whole flow out of

the beautiful things in life,

then where does that leave you?

I'll tell you where that leaves us, lady.

Up the old crick without a paddle.

- Really?

- Yeah, really. (laughing)

Yeah, whatever that means.

- [Alex] see?

It was just a draft.

- Can we go now?

- Sure. - Okay.

(ominous music)

(footsteps thumping)

Alex?

Can anyone get in?

- Anyone can get in anywhere if they want to bad enough.

- I guess that was kind of a dumb question, huh?

- Not really.

- Let's go down with the others.

- Okay.

(footsteps thumping)

(door creaking)

(floor creaking)

(footsteps thumping)

- Where's T.J. and Melody?

- Well, knowing T.J. they're somewhere, like under a rock.

- You don't like him very much, do you?

- Not much.

- Then why did you come here with him?

- No place else to go.

Except my aunt, she doesn't like me very much.

- What about your parents?

- Having a good time in Europe. (chuckles)

They're always having a good time somewhere.

What are you staring at?

- That picture.

It sure doesn't feel much like Christmas.

- I'll take care of that.

(both groaning)

- Oh, a gentleman.

- (chuckles) Where are you off to?

- (chuckles) I am going to take a shower.

- Well, have fun!

- I already did. (giggling)

(ominous music)

- Somehow, it's not so scary once we're out here.

- No. There's really nothing to be afraid of.

- I thought you were interested in Leia.

- Yeah, I was.

But...

She doesn't...

She doesn't have half as much as you.

- I didn't think you even noticed me.

- I noticed you from the first day.

- Where is that cop, anyway?

He's liable to catch us. (chuckles)

- You know, I don't know,

and

I don't even care.

(both chuckling)

(both panting)

- You wanna dance?

- I'd like that.

- Good.

Gives me a chance to hold you closer.

(soft music)

You are cute.

- I'd rather be beautiful.

- You are beautiful.

(soft music)

- Help!

Help!

(door creaking)

Help!

Someone open up! Please! (sobbing)

(door banging)

(Melody panting)

- What happened?

- (sobbing) He's dead!

- Who's dead? - Oh my God, he's dead!

- What happened?

- T.J.! Oh my God, we're gonna die!

We're all going to die!

- Pull yourself together!

Pull yourself together! (slapping)

- Alex, we've got to go get the others!

- Yeah.

Come on, Melody, come on. - No, no. (sobbing)

- Shh.

Come on.

(Melody crying)

(footsteps thumping)

- Where is she? - Where's Leia?

- In the shower, come on!

Leia!

Oh.

Leia!

(Leia giggling)

Leia, it's me, Nancy!

Leia.

- Oh.

- Come on.

It's gonna be okay.

- I wish.

(footsteps thumping)

- Nancy, we've got to make it to the plane,

it's our only chance!

- Alex.

Where's Alex?

Look out!

(ominous music)

(door creaking)

- You killed my baby.

(ominous music)

- Mrs. Jensen?

- You killed my baby.

You gave her drugs!

You were her friend.

[Leia humming]

You were there, Nancy.

She was so young, so beautiful.

- I didn't even know her!

- Don't you lie to me!

You were her friend.

You pushed her off the balcony. You were there!

- This is my first year here, I don't even know her!

- You were there!

(knife clanking)

(Nancy sobbing)

(Melody screams)

(ominous music)

- Wake up, please! - What's the matter?

- They're dead, they're all dead! Everyone!

- What are you raving about?

- Move, you drunken slug, move, or we're gonna die!

- All right, all right! What happened?

- They're dead, they're all dead!

And the killer's gonna come after us!

- What about T.J.?

- He's dead!

- Are you sure?

- Yes, will you hurry, please? (sobbing)

- T.J.'s dead?

Come on.

(ominous music)

(footsteps pattering)

- What's wrong?

- Generator.

- Can you fix it?

- I'm working on it.

- Will you hurry, please?

I should have killed you first.

(Nancy crying)

- Nancy, it's all right,

everything's gonna be all right.

(Nancy sobbing)

I had to hide.

I didn't know what was going on. (panting)

I panicked. (panting)

- Could you hold me. (sobbing)

Take me away from here.

(footsteps thumping)

Leia! - It's all over!

- We've got to go back for Leia!

- We'll send somebody back for her!

It's all over.

Okay, come on, you ready?

Come on. Come on, come on baby.
