[Phone ringing]

[Phone continues ringing]

[Person screaming]

[Phone ringing][Pop music playing]

Just one sec.

Hasta El fuego. Please hold.

Okay.

This way.

[Customers chattering, laughing]

[Hostess] Here you are. Your server

Hey, Jason.

Hey.

Hi. Do you know what you want?

- Uh, yeah. - Cool.

Thanks.

Hi!

[Clears throat]

[Cell phone chimes, vibrates]

[Chuckles]

[Chuckles]

Um...

Okay.

- Another shot? - Yeah, sure. Okay. Um...

[Cell phone rings][Hums]

[Clears throat] Hi. Hi, Reggie.

Laura, hi.[Chuckles]

Hello. Um, so nice to phone-meet you

in this incredibly embarrassing way.

Oh, you know, no... no problem. It's fine.

This is what I get for picking a trendy place

[Chuckles]

Yeah, why do they do that here? I don't know.

I've only been in the city for a few months.

Me, too! No way! Yeah. Oh, wow.

Well, um, it's a very cool restaurant.

Is it on Hudson? Yes.

Am I on Hudson? I don't know.

I am not on Hudson. Shit.

[Chuckles]

Uh, I am now walking towards Hudson.

Okay. I am so, so sorry.

This is not the first impression

on a college professor.

Oh, pfft. Associate professor,

and it's just film studies, so...

Oh....you're safe.

Film studies? That's... [Chuckles] ...Cool.

You say that, but try teaching a class

to a heap of hungover 19-year-olds.

Slashers, huh?

[Imitating ghostface] What's your favorite

Um, not that one.

[Both laughing]

So why slashers?

Well, I just, you know, I think it's interesting.

You can really examine the culture of the moment

by looking at the tropes of the time.

Like, um, the masked killer, the final girl,

the different rules:

Don't split up. Don't have sex.

[Both chuckling]

Don't answer the phone. Exactly, exactly, exactly.

It's all cliché.

But out of those clichés comes an opportunity

for outsider art.

A voice for the voiceless, you might say.

Mmm.[whispers] Jesus Christ.

Yeah, I'm more of a rom-com guy,

[Chuckles] Okay, I think I'm on Hudson.

Okay. Um...

What color is the outside of the restaurant?

I-I think it's red.

I don't see anything red. [Chuckles]

I, um... I could be wrong. Let me just, um...

Let me go have a little look-see.

Oh, okay. Thank you.

All right, um...

Yep, it's definitely red.

Yeah, I'm not seeing anything red here.

[People chattering]

Sure you're on Hudson?

Um... oh, crap, I'm still a block over.

It looks like there's an alley I can cut through.

Is the restaurant near an alley?

Um...

Yes! Yes. There is an alley.

Oh, perfect. I'm coming down the alley.

[People continue chattering]

I don't see you.

Wait. Really? Are you sure?

Uh...

Let me just...

Uh, there are some dumpsters about halfway down.

I see them, but I don't see you.

Yeah, I don't see you, either.

This is creepy, right?

Uh, a little bit.[Chuckles]

20th-century slashers, huh?

Yeah. Are you sure you're walking towards Hudson?

I'm sure.

Oh, wait, I think I see you! Can you wave?

Can you see me?

Uh, the person I'm looking at isn't waving.

They're just staring at me.

Are you sure?

Okay, this is weird.

Um... Now they're moving towards me.

Are you okay?

Shit. He's following me.

I don't see anybody.

Holy shit! He's after me!

Where are you?

He's got a knife! What?

And that's not the worst part.[Voice modulator powers up]

The worst part is...

[As ghostface] You teach a class

and you still walked into a dark alley.

Alone.

Okay, that's not funny.

[Ghostface chuckles, breathes heavily]

No.

It's not.

[Passerby screams]

[People laughing, chattering]

[Exhales]

[Ghostface grunting][Screaming]

[Gasping]

[Ghostface] Now I see something red.

[Grunts][Blood splattering]

[Breathing heavily]

[Blood dripping]

[Laughing in distance][Siren wailing]

[Grunts]

[Students chattering]

[Reggie humming]

[Students chattering, laughing]

[Student 1] Hey, girl, you look great!

[Student 2] You're not wearing a costume? Come on.

No, I wouldn't - have done that.

Jason.

Are you and Greg gonna come to the okb party?

Well, if he finishes his Spanish project in time,

Is your sister coming?

No, Sam wouldn't be caught dead at a frat party.

There's a first time for everything.

Not tonight, though.

- Can't convince her? - No. That's not my problem,

- Save me a drink! - All right.

[Thunder rumbling]

Honey, I'm home!

[Victim 1 screaming on TV]

Greg?

Greg?

[Victim 1 on TV screams]

[Victim 2 on TV screams]

[Cell phone ringing]

[Cell phone beeps]

I'm sorry, okay?

I...

I just got massive blue balls, and I... I had to practice.

Please don't be mad. How mad are you?

[Ghostface] Oh, I'm not mad, Jason.

Dude.

We said we wouldn't use the voice on each other.

We said a lot of things.[Thunder rumbling]

This is Greg, right?

[Ghostface chuckling]

Who else would it be?

[Jason] Where are you? I want to tell you about it.

Oh, by the way,

we should go to that frat party. Tara's going.

What was it like? Not on the phone, man.

Seriously, turn off the fucking voice modulator.

I'm just trying to get the voice right.

You got to have your practice, I get mine.

Whatever.

Just tell me what it felt like.

Then maybe I'll come out.

Dude, I know you're not here.

Humor me.

All right, fine.

[Sighs] It was even better

than we ever could have imagined.

[Thunder rumbling]

I mean, when the knife went in her,

it's like she wasn't human anymore.

Just an animal.

[Victim 2 on TV screaming, crying]

And every time it went in,

she was less and less human.

And then,

she was just meat.

But she wasn't just meat, Jason.

She was a person. Our film professor.

Yeah, well,

fuck her.[Ghostface chuckles]

[Clears throat]

She gave me a c-minus on my giallo paper.

Is that why you killed her? Because of the c-minus?[Sighs]

Who's next, your grade-school vice principal?

You know who's next.

Why are you being like this?

Come on, Jason.

How long have we known each other?

You tell me.

Eight years.

We met in junior high. In Atlanta.

I just want you to tell me why you think

In your words.

We're finishing Richie's film.

That's right, by killing Sam and Tara.

Why are you fucking with me?

Why won't you tell me where you are?

Why do you keep asking me that? I already told you.

I'm here.

Let's play a game.[Sighs] shit.

Do you know warmer, colder?

Come on, find me.

And then we'll go and cut up the carpenter sisters.

Are you using the fucking cameras?

Yeah. The cameras.

And at the moment, you're very, very cold.

All right, douchebag, let's play.

Cold.

[Sighs]

Heating up.

Warmer.

Warmer.

[Heartbeat thumping]

[Chattering on TV]

All right, you know what? This is stupid.

I'm gonna hang up now.

But you're getting warmer.

[Character moaning on TV]

Colder.

Warmer.

Warmer.

You're on fire!

[Gasps] Oh, fuck!

[Screams]

Do you feel like an animal, Jason?

[Screaming]

Please, stop!

Like meat?

But we have to finish the movie.

Who gives a fuck about movies?

So how are the new meds treating you?

Okay, I think.

Still not seeing anyone I shouldn't be.

What I'm really worried about, though, is Tara.

What I'm really worried about is you.

You've been coming here for six months now,

and all we've really spoken about

is how your sister isn't dealing with

whatever happened to both of you

a year ago.

Now, you've alluded to an abusive relationship,

issues with your father,

but every time I push you for specifics, you shut down.

I have trust issues.

Okay.

If I'm going to help you,

um, I... I need you to give me the details.

Okay.

My father was Billy loomis.

He was a famous serial killer.

They made a movie about him.

Yeah. Mm-hmm. Certainly did.

Last year I found out

that my boyfriend was also a serial killer

and only dating me because he idolized my father.

- Uh-huh. - Him and his psycho girlfriend

killed a bunch of people.

And when it got out that I'm Billy's daughter,

this crazy rumor started online

that I orchestrated the whole thing and framed them.

[Sighs]

[Grunts]

Huh?

[Sam] Richie was my boyfriend.

But you didn't.

- Of course not. - Okay.

He almost killed my sister

and me,

before I stopped him.

Okay, and how...

How-how did you stop him?

Well, I stabbed him 22 times and slit his throat.

And then I shot him in the head.

But that's not why I'm here.

Why are you here?

Because...

It felt right.

I... [clears throat] Uh... I think we're done here.

What? No, you said give you details. I'm just...

I... I'm not equipped to deal with this kind of thing.

Please, Dr. Stone. I'm asking for your help.

By law, I'm required to report this

Report it? Report what?

I didn't say I was gonna do anything.

Not explicitly, no.

You know what?

Forget it.

You're just like all the others.

[Exhales][Door slams shut]

[People chattering]

[Siren wailing]

[Line ringing]

Hey, you've reached Tara. Why aren't you texting me?

[Line beeps] You know you're supposed

I got out of therapy early, so I was thinking

If you want. I'll see you soon.

[Locks clicking]

[Locks clicking]

Hey!

Tara?

[Thudding][Glass clinking]

[Roommate moaning]

[Bed frame creaking][Roommate continues moaning]

[Roommate] Oh, yeah.[Sighs, chuckles]

Quinn?

[Quinn chuckles] Oh, shit.[Quinn's lover] come on!

[Whispers] Were we being too loud?

[Quinn's lover groaning] Not at all.

Um...

Don't be mad.

- Why would I be mad? - Because you get mad.

Is that Paul?

[Quinn's lover] Who the fuck is Paul?

Life, I have found,

is about variety.

[Scoffs]

Okay.

- Uh, this one's yours. - Thanks.

Where's Tara?

She went to the omega kappa beta party.

I begged her not to go to that!

And we've now arrived at mad.

Do you know if she at least took her taser?

I cannot speak to how heavily armed Tara is

at this fraternity party.

[Sighs]

[Quinn's lover] Babe, you coming back? "Babe"?

I don't know.

[Sam sighs]

[Quinn gasps]

Ooh, is cute boy shirtless again?

[Quinn's lover] - Who's cute boy, babe?

You guys have been checking each other out for months.

Why don't you just talk to him?

Because that right there

is about all the romantic interaction I'm ready for.

- I'm gonna go find Tara. - Okay.

- Be right back. - Bye.

No, dude, Anika, I'm not that bad.

But I appreciate you looking out for me.

Oh, man. Time to start making moves.

Yeah, get you out there. Introduce you to some girls!

She's gorgeous.

- Great. Ask her out. - No, I can't.

Ask her out. Ask her out.

Shut up!

[Chad chuckles]

- What did that mean? - No, it's good.

- What? - It's not bad.

There's room for improvement!

Hey, big guy, you're needed.

See ya.

Aren't you that girl involved in that "stab" shit

in California last year?

No. That's a different pirate.

Hey, partner!

Tara's good down here.

[Scoffs] Sorry, bro, I didn't catch that.

[Chuckles]

Yeah, you did.

No, Chad.

- It's fine. I want to. - Yeah, see, Chad?

- It's okay. - She wants to.

Come on.[Winces] ow!

- Get your fucking hands off her. - Get the fuck off me!

Guys!

Who the fuck are you, risky business?

Stop![Sam] guys, guys!

Sorry to interrupt.

I'm just gonna tase you in the balls real quick.

Don't ever lay hands on my sister.

You fucking bitch!

Sam.[Frankie] Fuck you!

Are you fucking kidding me?

You're stalking me now?

Holy shit, it's that psycho girl!

[Partygoer] That's her?

[Partygoers chattering]

Tara. Will you stop?

I cannot believe you did that! You embarrassed me.

That guy was a dick.

He was gonna take advantage of you.

- So? - So?

If I want to hook up with an asshole,

that's my decision!

- It's my decision. - Okay.

It's not about you!

You're out of my life for five years,

and then you can't leave me alone for five minutes.

Because you're not dealing with what happened to us.

Have you even gone to see the counselor once?

[Tara] No, I'm not going to.[Sam] why not?

Because I'm uninterested in living in the past like you are.

- What's that supposed to mean? - Guys, come on.

It means I'm not gonna let what happened to us for three days

define the rest of my life.

So you're just gonna pretend it never happened.

What are you doing here, Sam? In New York.

You're working two shitty jobs to help with rent, whatever,

but what's your plan?

I know what I'm gonna do.

Okay? Because I'm gonna keep going to college,

I'm gonna get my degree, and I'm gonna live my life.

My life.

Okay? I know.

You just followed me here,

and you won't let me out of your sight.

I'm just trying to look out for you.

I... [sighs]

I know.

I know you are.

You can't do it for the rest of my life, though.

You have to let me go.

[Footsteps approaching] Hey!

[Gasps]

Murderer!

What the fuck is wrong with you, bitch?

You got a problem with me?

You guys should stay away from her.

- She knows what she did. - I didn't fucking do anything!

Sure, bitch.

Walk away!

I'm so sick of this shit.

She says she wants me to let her go.

Yeah, family can be rough.[Running footsteps]

[Chad] Sam!

Get up here right now!

[Reporter on TV] I'm standing in front

What's going on? ...Where the mutilated bodies

of two students... Cute boy. Nice.

Were discovered.

Their names have just been released by police.

Jason carvey and Greg bruckner.

Holy shit, that's that chode from our film studies class!

The one obsessed with argento. Also found at the scene

were various ghostface costumes,

a character popularized by thestab movie franchise.

Pack a bag. We leave in ten.

[Tara] Sam! Wait, Sam!

- We're getting out of the city. - What?

Thank you, suspicious new guy, but we got it from here.

Have a good night. Get home safe.

Go, go, go.

Sam!

Sam, wh...

- [Stammers] Hold on. - Come on.

[Tara] No, wait, let's talk about this for a second.

'Cause this might not have anything to do with us.

- Are you serious? - It's a big city!

It's Halloween. Everybody's wearing masks!

- You don't know. - Tara,

- You knew him! - Barely.

Chad, mindy, back me up.

It is a little bit... close to home.

See?

Quinn, your dad's a cop, right?

Can you call him and find out what's going on?

Before you make the unilateral decision

to abandon my college education and flee the fucking state!

- I'm calling him now. - Thank you.

[Phone ringing]

[Tara] Who is it?

[Phone continues ringing]

Why did everyone just freak out when her phone rang?

You got to keep up, my dude.

Sam?

My dad wants to talk to you.

Mr. Bailey, hi.[Mr. Bailey] hey, Sam.

[Camera shutter clicking] I was actually just about

[Sam] Well, my sister thinks I'm probably overreacting.

[Mr. Bailey] No, unfortunately, you're not.

[Sam] What do you mean? What's going on?

I'm afraid I need you to come down to the station.

Sam, slow down.

Tara, no. Get back inside, lock the door.

Are you serious?

Now you don't want to stick together?

Fine.

[Cell phone ringing][Siren wailing]

What the fuck?

I never deleted his contact.

This is coming - from his number.

Just let it ring.

Sam.

Who is this?[Ghostface] hello, Samantha.

Did you miss me?

I want you to think long and hard

about whether you really want to do this.

Because the last two people that fucked with us

ended up dead.

[Ghostface] You should be thanking me, Sam.

Jason and Greg were gonna kill you and your sister.

I gutted them before they had the chance.

So what? You're protecting us now?

[Ghostface] Not quite.

I'm going to show the world who you really are:

A liar and a killer.

I'm going to punish you, Sam.

You shouldn't believe everything you read

Don't be cute. You're gonna pay

And I'm not gonna stop until I butcher you.

You and anyone who gets between us.

You and Tara better watch your backs.

You better watch yours.

No! No![Tara grunts]

Run![Tara panting]

Come on!

- Help! Please! - In there!

Please help us!

- We were just attacked. - Call 911!

There's a fucking line here, girls.[Clamoring]

[Sighs]

[Door opens]

This was found next to the body at the apartment crime scene.

DNA says that it belonged to someone named Richie kirsch.

Does that ring a bell?

We're familiar with him.

But the one that attacked us had a different mask on.

It was kind of more beat up. Like it was older.

Uh...

I got to ask...

Do you have alibis for earlier tonight?

I was at a party with my friends.

I was at my therapist's.

I can give you his information. You can call to check

And then I met Tara at that party,

where I tased someone.

Unrelated.

Was that before or after this happened?

[Student] Murderer!

[Sam] What the fuck is wrong with you, bitch?

You got a problem with me? Before.

The point is, we were with people all night.

So, our roommate's dad

just happened to pull our case.

That'd be a crazy coincidence, right?

- Yeah. - The detective who had the case,

he offered it to me because it involves Quinn.

Um, but I can totally give it back if you're uncomfortable.

It's up to you.

It's fine.

So if the man who attacked you did steal your license

and plant it next to the body,

it'd probably be somebody close to you.

How long have you known your friends?

Well, we moved here with mindy and Chad

for summer semester, like, six months ago.

So, Quinn, um, Ethan, Anika... All since then.

I think I can vouch for Quinn, so that's one less

Do either of you have anyone that might want to target you?

Not anyone who's still alive.

Yikes.[door opens]

FBI's here, claiming jurisdiction.

Where are they?

[Sighs]

Can I help you?

Special agent Kirby Reed, FBI.

I work out of the Atlanta office.

Oh. You lost?

[Chuckles]

Your two vics were residents of my city

before they moved here for college.

I have been investigating their online activity

for the past few months.

Wow.

Why?

I take a special interest in ghostface attacks.

- Kirby? - Hey, Sam.

What?

[Kirby] Tara.

You're the FBI? Mm-hmm.

- You guys know each other? - Yeah.

We went to woodsboro high together.

She was a senior when I was a freshman.

We share a certain history, yeah.

I'm not trying to get into

a jurisdictional pissing contest here,

I just want to help.

I'll show you mine, et cetera.

Thank you.

He left this mask at the bodega.

DNA traces of two individuals,

Charlie Walker, Jill Roberts, both deceased.

The ghostface killers of 2011.

Charlie Walker gave me this.

Like I said, I take a special interest.

Is this the mask he was wearing when he attacked you?

No.

So he's leaving them on purpose.

Which means whoever's doing this

is a student of the killers who came before.

Maybe he believes

Sam is the latest in a long line.

Yeah, good luck with that. We're getting out of town.

I'm sorry, that's not possible.

You're both persons of interest in a double homicide,

so you're not allowed to leave town. Sorry.

- Are you serious? - He's right.

But if we work together... we're going.

[Reporters chattering]

Samantha, do you have an alibi for last night's murders?

Tara, do you feel safe around your sister?

Tara! Tara!

Gale weathers, channel 4.

Do you ladies think you're the reason

the ghostface killer has come to the big apple?

[Scoffs]

[Crowd gasps]

[Scoffs] Nice try, sweetie, but I've done this dance before.

[Grunts][Crowd gasps]

Stay away from us.[Reporters clamoring]

Are you still mad at me?

You said you wouldn't write a book about what happened.

And then you wrote a book about what happened.

Oh, come on.

Somebody was gonna write about it!

It's what I do.

I heard you couldn't sell the movie rights.

It's all about true-crime limited series these days.

After everything we went through together.

What would Dewey think?

- That's a low blow. - So was your book.

You called me "unstable" and a "born killer."

- That's taken out of context. - That's literally a quote.

You don't think what you wrote

with what's happening to us?

[Sam] Come on.

Hey, I talked to Sidney.

She's not coming here, - is she?

She sends her love,

but she's taking Mark and the kids someplace safe.

She deserves to have her happy ending.

On that much, we agree.

Hey, I want to catch this fucker as much as you do!

Maybe.

Or maybe you're just afraid

that without ghostface in your life,

you're gonna fade away.

[Taxi departing]

You fools! You're in danger!

Can't you see? They're after you!

They're after all of us! Our wives,

our children, everyone![Knocks on door]

They're here already! You're next!

[Continues on TV] You're next! You're next!

You're next!

[Knocks on door]

[Dr. Stone] Who is it?

You're a day early for trick-or-treating, you know.

[Dog barking in distance]

["Red right hand" playing]

[Students chattering]

♪ Take a little walk to the edge of town ♪

♪ and go across the tracks... ♪

[Mindy] Okay, nerds, listen up!

As terrifying as this all is,

I'm actually glad I get a chance to redeem myself

for not calling the killers last time.

- Yep. - It's fine. Okay.

The way I see it, someone is out to make a sequel to the requel.

Um, what's a requel?

You're beautiful, sweetie. Let's hold questions to the end.

Stab 1 took place in woodsboro.

Stab 2 took place in college.

So we think that the killer is trying

That is one possibility.

Heroes now in college: Check.

Suspicious new characters brought in

and/or body count: Check, check and check.

But it can't just be about stab 2.

- Why not? - It would make sense

if this were just a sequel.

But we're not in a sequel,

because nobody just makes sequels anymore.

We're in a franchise!

And there are certain rules to a continuing franchise.

- I had a feeling. - Rule one:

Everything is bigger than last time.

Bigger budget, bigger cast, bigger body count.

Longer chases, shoot-outs, beheadings.

You got to top what came before to keep people coming back.

- Beheadings? - Beheadings.

Rule two: Whatever happened last time,

Franchises only survive by subverting expectations.

If the killers last time were whiny snowflake film nerds

with letterboxd accounts instead of personalities,

you can bet the opposite will be true here.

And rule three: No one is safe.

Legacy characters? Cannon fodder at this point.

Usually brought back only to be killed off

in some cheap bid for nostalgia.

It's not looking too good for Gale and Kirby.

Oh, and that's not even the worst part!

This is the part where she tells us the worst part.

The worst part is

franchises are just continuing episodic installments

Which means main characters

are completely expendable now, too.

Laurie strode, Nancy Thompson, Ellen Ripley,

Sally hardesty, Jigsaw, Tony stark, James Bond...

I mean, even Luke Skywalker...

All died so their franchises could live on.

That means it's not just the friend group.

Any of us could go at any time,

especially Sam and Tara.

[Ethan] Wait, any of us?[Mindy] Yeah.

[Stammers] Am I in the friend group?[Mindy] yeah.

Am I, like, one of the targets?[Mindy] mm-hmm.

Am I gonna die a virgin?

That was a weird overshare.

But it brings us to our current suspects:

Ethan.

The shy, dorky guy who no one suspects

because he's so shy and dorky.

Why am I on the suspect list?

Because I'm randomly Chad's roommate?

Roommate lotteries can be juked.

You could have fixed it to get next to us.

Quinn.

The slutty roommate.

A horror movie... [Smacks lips] ...Classic.

"Sex positive," but... thank you?

Mm-hmm. Um, how did you come to live with Sam and Tara?

I answered their ad online.

Okay, say no more.

You've already implicated yourself enough.

It was an anonymous ad, mindy.

And you know we vetted her. Plus her dad is a cop.

And that makes it more likely that she's the killer,

because having a cop dad is a great cover.

Do you not remember how these movies work, Tara?

Is she always like this?

And finally... Anika.

[Kisses][Kisses]

Never trust the love interest.

Okay! So, we have our rules and we have our suspects.

But wait. What about you guys?

I mean, I think it's pretty safe to rule out the four of us

who went through this last year in woodsboro.

- Agreed. - Um, not agreed.

What if the trauma you all went through

caused one or more of you to snap?

Yeah, or the fame you got from the killings

I mean, let's be honest here,

some of the theories online about Sam are...

Don't you fucking dare.

Okay, she's right, though.

I mean, face facts...

If we're all suspects, you're all suspects.

[People chattering]

Remember Samantha carpenter's - alibi, the therapist?

[Bailey] He was stabbed - to death. Through the nose.

Through the nose. How messed up is that?

It's pretty messed up.

He turned her in for making threatening remarks,

ended up dead.

And guess which patient's notes were stolen?

So Sam kills her own alibi and steals her own session notes?

Maybe.

Another mask was found at the scene.

It's a DNA match for Roman Bridger.

The ghostface who was directing stab 3.

It's like he's leaving us real-life franchise easter eggs.

Like dropping the killers' masks in reverse.

Almost like he's counting down to something.

What happens when he gets to one?

So we've had nine ghostface killers so far.

Nine. I thought in the movies...

Forget about the movies. The movies don't matter.

Look. Last year was Amber Freeman and Richie kirsch,

whose masks we found at the first crime scene

along with the bodies of two film students

who killed their professor earlier that same night.

Then it was Jill Roberts and Charlie Walker...

Theirs at the bodega.

Roman Bridger was the only single ghostface.

Kudos to him for ambition.

His mask was found at the shrink's.

Which leaves Mickey altieri, Nancy loomis, stu macher...

And Billy loomis. Number one.

And the father of our chief suspect.

Well, whoever's doing this is leading us back to Sam.

[Cell phone ringing]

I will check in later.

And tell your daughter to stay sharp.

Proximity to the carpenters is proximity to ghostface.

[Door opens]

Hey, Jack? Would you call the Atlanta field office?

Dig up what you can on agent Reed.

[Soft pop music playing on speakers]

I think you should get out of the city.

You know, considering what happened to you

I... I wouldn't blame you if... you wanted to go.

That's very thoughtful of you, but, um,

I don't think I'm going anywhere.

[Mindy gagging]

Will you two just make out already?

That is so inappropriate, - dude.

Get it over with!

[Sam] Here you go.

[Mindy] Sam?[Sam] Yep?

We do not have to stay here.

Well, too bad. I insist. Safety in numbers.

This'll be so fun.

A little slumber party with the core four!

- "Core four"? - Yeah.

- Did you give us a nickname? - I sure did.

We've been through a lot together,

and it's a pretty cool nickname.

- That's debatable. - It's extremely debatable.

You can't just give yourself a nickname, dingus.

Of course I can, dingus, because I just did.

- Core four, up top! - No.

- Down low. - Get that away from me.

Please, - for the love of god.

I would like a little more respect and support

from my fellow members of the core four.

Guys. What the hell?

We're hearing from sources inside the homicide division

that the prime suspect is none other than Samantha carpenter,

one of the survivors of the woodsboro killings in 2022,

seen here attacking a woman on the street last night.

[Bleep] Is wrong with you?

You got a problem with me? Knock it off!

[Student] Stay away from her. She knows what she did.

[Reporter] In the wake of the woodsboro tragedy

rumors sprouted online

that carpenter was actually responsible for the killings,

blaming the crimes on her boyfriend, Richie kirsch

and teen Amber free...[TV turns off]

I know you're not a fan of the way

and that I've been giving you a really hard time.

But I can say

that none of us can relate to what you are experiencing.

And I'm really, really sorry that you have to do that alone.

[Sniffles]

It's not your fault.

[Sniffles]

And I know I shouldn't care what people think.

It just sucks being this hated.

[Chad] Hey. Hey. Just a reminder,

not a single person in this room hates you.

Okay? We have all been through

and we are coping with it differently.

But, I mean, we moved here together

for one very specific reason.

We are a team.

[Mindy] We are

the core fucking four.

- Thank you very much. - Ah, I hate myself.

You said it.[Chad] that is what I'm talking about.

It's the core four.

[Mindy] Say it.[Tara] I'm not gonna say it.

I mean, yes, we're a team, but...

[Chad] It's got a nice ring to it.

I've been sleeping with cute boy from across the hall.

- Boom! - I fucking knew it!

- I knew it, I knew it. - You called it.

I knew it from the day you had that hickey.

[All laughing]

[News anchor] Sales of the ghostface Halloween mask

across the tri-state area in the last 24 hours

I've got my mask.

What about you, Jay?[Jay] you know it.

It's gonna be one spooky Halloween.

[News anchor] I'll say. Now, let's get over to guy for a look at our weather.

I know she's my roommate, but you're, like, the police.

[Sighs]

Yo.

[Water running in shower][Quinn] no, I know.

Hey!

Fuck.

Hey, yeah. Wassup, bitch?

I see you, motherfucker.

Sam! Samantha!

I feel like we should high five or something.

The core four high five... May we, please?

[Tara] Don't call it that, but we'll do the high five.

[Chad] Come on.

Sam! Samantha![All chattering]

[Danny] Sam, what the fuck?

[Quinn] She's really freaked out and paranoid.

[Paul] Babe, you gonna join me?[Quinn] hang on.

No. And don't use my good face wash.

It's ph-balanced for women.

Pick up your phone, baby.

[Cell phone ringing]

[All continue chattering]

Is that him?

- No, Tara. Not right now. - Hey, what are your intentions?

[All laughing][Chad] that's right.

It's fine. I'll call him back.

[Mindy] Poor guy.[Chad] okay.

[Shelves clattering][Quinn moaning]

Quinn and her gentleman caller are back at it again.

She's getting it, too? Okay.

[Chuckling]

[Quinn moaning, grunting][Cell phones chiming, beeping]

[Quinn continues moaning, grunting]

[Quinn] Help! Stop!

[Quinn screams] Tara, wait, wait!

Run.

Oh, shit![Grunts]

[Screaming]

[Tara] Guys, come on!

Oh, fuck.

[Screaming][Anika] mindy!

Stay the fuck back!

[Groaning]

[Gasping, choking]

[Groans]

[Screaming]

[Sam] Hey!

Wait, wait, Chad!

- They're still up there. - Shit!

[Groaning]

Fuck.

- Sam! - Do you have the keys?

No, I left them inside!

[Panting][Banging on door]

[Whispering] Mindy, bathroom door. Hurry!

Oh, fuck! That guy's dead.

[Screaming]

[Grunting]

[Sam] Oh, shit.

Oh, fuck.

Hey!

Hey!

Shit.

Don't worry, I got you.

- Are you fucking kidding me? - You have a better idea?

Fuck. No.

[Anika groaning]

[Danny] You have to come one at a time.

- You two go first. Mindy! - What? No.

Someone needs to hold the door.

I'll send Anika next. Go![Banging on door]

Sam, come on. Eyes on me, baby.

Keep your eyes on me.

Oh, shit.

Oh, my god.[Danny] I got you, baby.

[Gasps]

[Danny] Baby, come on!

[Sam] It won't hold me.

Okay.

It ain't going anywhere. It's gonna hold you, I promise.

Danny.

I got you. You ain't going nowhere.

- She's losing a lot of blood! - Say something more positive!

[Danny] Eyes on me, Sam. Come on, baby.

[Panting][Danny] come on. I got you.

Come on, I got you.

Okay.

- Come on! - Let's go!

- Come on, mindy! - Let's go, we got to move!

[Sam] Anika, come on!

Anika![Danny] Go! Come on!

[Mindy] You have to go first.[Anika whimpering] I can't.

You have to go.

Mindy, no! I'll be right behind you, I promise.

[Sam] Mindy, come on. You got to get over here!

[Danny] Let's go!

We got you.[Sam] that's it. Mindy.

[Danny] Slow and steady.[Sam] we got you.

Oh, god.[Whimpering]

Baby, you can't stop.[Sam] get over here right now!

Anika's coming right behind you.

[Sobbing]

Anika, come on![Danny] go!

[Sam] You can do it![Mindy] come on, Anika!

[Sobbing] Oh, god! I can't do it, I can't do it.

[Sam] Don't look down![Mindy] look at me!

[Sam] You can do it! You're doing good.

What?

Anika, you have to move right now!

[All screaming, clamoring]

[Screaming] No, god! Please, no!

Anika, you got to move!

No!

[Screaming, crying]

You have to make it!

Baby, I don't want to die!

No, Anika.

Anika, give me your hand. I got you.

[Screaming]

[Mindy sobbing] No!

[Panting, crying]

[Sirens wailing in distance]

[Officers, medics chattering]

[Investigator] So are you pullin' anybody for interviews?

How far along are you on that?

[Officer] Uh, just got two.

[Investigator] Okay.

[Danny] Hey. You okay?

This isn't your fault, Sam.

But it is.

Someone took our knives,

so we couldn't fight back.

I don't know who I can trust.

[Whispers] Then don't trust anyone.

Not anyone.

[Investigator] I have a few more questions for you.

Just this way, Danny.

Chad.

- Where were you? - What? When?

- Last night! - What?

I had econ. You know this.

Bullshit, man! You disappear,

and my sister almost gets killed!

Dude, I was in a study hall with a hundred other people.

You can ask any of them.

Fuck, man.

Oh, my god.

Who?[Chad] Anika and Quinn.

Mindy, I'm so sorry.

Step the fuck back.

You're at the top of my list.

I had econ!

[Officer] Go right ahead, sir.

I'm gonna be right back.

I'm really sorry about Quinn.

Thank you.

Both my kids are gone. [Sobs]

My whole family... [Sobbing]

Is gone.

[Sniffles]

They took me off the case.

But I'm not gonna stop until I find him.

You fuck with my family...

You die.

Agreed.

Hey, are you okay? I came as soon as I heard.

Gale, I swear to god...

Truce, okay? I'm here for whatever you need.

Okay. Nice try.

Really, I am.

Okay, fine. Off the record, okay?

Okay. Thank you.

I'm sorry I punched you.

No, you're not.

I'm not.

You're the cop, right?

I did some digging on your first two victims

and I found something.

I know where the masks are coming from.

[Car door shuts] Show me.

[Kirby] Ladies.

Kirby?

Gale.

She's with the FBI.She's a child.

When did they start letting children into the FBI?

- I'm 30. - Well, you look like a zygote.

I have a gun, Gale.

Okay, fine. You're gonna want to see this, too.

[Birds squawking]

[Gale] Jason and Greg were little Atlanta rich boys.

Apparently, they used fake names to rent this place.

[Kirby] How did you find it?

It's called "investigative journalism"

How didn't you find it? Weren't you tracking them?

[Kirby] I went through their financial records

This was not in any of them. Doesn't make sense.

Don't worry.

I'm just really good at my job. You'll get there.

[Sighs]

[Lock beeps]

[Lock beeps]

[Sam] What is this place? What's with all the security?

[Electricity buzzes]

It's a movie theater.

[Gale] It's not just a theater.

It's a shrine.

[Machinery powering up, creaking]

Whoa.

They've got the whole goddamn franchise.

- Chad? - Mmm?

This was uncle Randy's.

They've got everything.

Is that... the knife I was stabbed with.

You all have been through so much.

Who drew all these?

[Gale] Dewey.

Hey, how'd they get all this stuff?

Isn't this evidence?

[Gale] Well, cops like money,

and evidence can get lost pretty easily.

Present company excluded, of course.

Um, why am I here exactly? My alibi checks out.

So I can keep an eye on you, roomie.

[Gale] The killer must have found this place

before he murdered Jason and Greg.

And then he took the masks off the mannequins.

All nine, from stu and Billy to Amber and Richie.

[Billy] Hot damn! How fucking cool is this place?

Fuck, no.

[Billy] Fuck, yes.

Come on, Sam, you got to be excited

to get our murder on again. Together.

Billy and Sam. Team loomis.

Get ready to slice up more motherfuckers.

[Tara] What are you doing?

I don't know.

[Chad] So,

somebody killed these chucklefucks

and took over?

Someone who believes that Sam masterminded woodsboro.

[Mindy] If this were a normal stab movie,

this would be the killer's lair.

Which means this isn't a normal stab movie.

[Quivers]

[Kirby] The TV that killed stu macher.

[Mindy] If you believe he's dead.

I hear you're a horror fan.

- It's been said. - Mmm.

Mmm.

Best nightmare on elm street?

[Both] The original.

Best Friday the 13th?

Part ii.The final chapter.

Had a crush on Corey feldman.

Okay. Respect.

[Chuckles]

Psycho ii is...

[Both] ...Underrated.

Candyman. the original or requel?

[Both] Both.

Okay. Okay.

Game recognize game.

Hmm.

[Inhales]

You okay?

Sam, when do I get to be a normal person again?

I don't know.

I don't want to be a part of this.

I don't want to be a part of some stupid legacy

because i'm... because of me.

I'm sorry.[Thunder rumbling]

Just drop it, Sam.

Tara.

[Kirby] I got her.

That seemed intense.

Ever since I came back into her life, I've just...

Made a mess of it.

Hey.

Where's your mother in all this?

She cut me off when I told Tara

Then Tara cut her off

because she wouldn't talk to me,

so now neither of us have a mother.

I'm sorry to say this, but fuck her.

My parents sucked, too.

But you can still make your own family.

Even if it's just with one person.

And if you lose that one person?

You just... you keep going.

And maybe you find another loner,

and you look after each other.

How'd you get past what happened to you?

[Inhales]

[Clicks tongue]

I almost died after I was stabbed.

Technically, I did die.

For four minutes.

When I recovered...

I got mad.

I didn't want to spend the rest of my life

I wanted the monsters to be afraid of me.

I like that.

[Door opens][Bailey] sorry to interrupt.

Think I might have an idea

about how to turn the tables on this creep.

Yeah. We're in.

Sorry, Gale. No press allowed.

Police business. I'm good at my job, too.

[People chattering]

You should have stayed with the others.

That's not gonna happen.

There's no point in both of us putting ourselves at risk.

I'm not. I'm your backup.

So we're really doing the phone tracing thing

that never works in the movies.

It'll be all, "keep him talking, Sam. Two more minutes,

I've almost got him."

And then he hangs up just before we can get a lock.

I can trace a call in under 15 seconds.

Well, you've got them out there as bait.

Because the killer usually calls from somewhere nearby.

And you think they're safe because it's broad daylight

in a public place?

Look, I am here, okay? And so is Bailey.

This is exactly how our uncle Randy died.

Broad daylight. Public place.

Yanked into a Van. Stab, stab, stab. No more Randy.

Huh.

Hey, Sam? Stay frosty out there, okay?

We're good.

[People chattering]

[Cell phone ringing]

[Phone continues ringing]

You're gonna die, you know.

[Ghostface] No, you're gonna die, Samantha!

Choking on your own blood while I hack up your sister.

Unless we find you first.

[Ghostface] For a mastermind, you're not very bright.

Waiting for me to call,

desperately hoping I'm nearby so the police can grab me?

But I'm not nearby. I'm a step ahead.

Be seeing you, Samantha.

- Did you get it? - Yep. Geolocation

He's on the upper West Side.

He's inside an apartment building,

halfway across the city.

- On west 96th? - How did you know that?

Gale.

[Sighs] "No press."

Bitch, last time I saw you, you were in glee club.

Forgive me if I don't trust you to keep them safe.

- Here you go, baby. - Thanks.

My friend Danny works on the upper West Side.

He can get there quicker.

Yeah, or he could finish her off.

Is it possible he's the killer?

Fuck. We have to get there now.

It's 50 blocks away. We don't even know if it's true.

- Sam, wait! Take a minute. - We don't have a minute.

You have to trust me, we got to make the right call.

He's already... [Tara] Sam!

Get in.

What's she doing?

Hey, get out of my car!

What do you think you're doing? That's an official vehicle! Hey!

Should we use the sirens?

Did you think we'd steal a police car

and not use the sirens?

- Do you have a license? - Fuck, yeah.

What are you doing?[Siren wailing]

It's a cop car! You can't steal a cop car!

[Phone ringing]

[Gale's partner] That'll be our food.

Hello?

Not the food. It's for you.

Who is it?

May I ask who's calling, please?

He says it's the killer.

Hello?[ghostface] hello, Gale.

Strange that you and I have never spoken on the phone.

This is long overdue.

I agree.

[Whispering] Call the police.

[Ghostface] I figured after all these years

you'd want an interview.[Cell phone vibrating]

Well, you figured right.

So, what's your motive this time?

You angry at the movies or you just trying to stay relevant?

[Ghostface] I could ask you the same.

Don't you know the legacy characters

Nobody cares about last century's heroes.

Then why bother with me at all?[Ghostface] call it nostalgia.

Or maybe you deserve to be punished

for all that money you made off the misery of others.

Maybe it's time someone made a buck

You know you're like the tenth guy to try this, right?

And spoiler alert,

it never works out for the dipshit in the mask.

Oh, but they certainly leave a Mark

Richie and Amber managed to butcher Dewey.

Carved him up like a Christmas goose.

How does it feel to lose the only man

Fuck you!

How does it feel to know

that you weren't there for him at the end?

[Chuckles] Not there to give him comfort

as he died screaming in his own guts.

You're the one who's gonna die screaming.

Maybe. But you won't be around to see it.

You couldn't stop what happened to Dewey.

Just like you're not gonna be able to stop this.

[Glass shatters][Screaming]

[Screams]

[Grunts]

[Ghostface grunting] Oh, god!

[Banging on door]

[Keypad beeping]

[Beeping]

[Shell casings clatter]

How's that for nostalgia, fucker?

[Phone ringing]

[Phone beeps]

[Ghostface] You missed.

Sure I did.

You win.

I'm in the elevator heading for the ground floor.

Sure you are.

Maybe you did hit me.

Maybe I'm wounded.

Or maybe I'm wearing a bulletproof vest.

That's why I'm gonna shoot you in the fucking head!

[Ghostface] You would've made a good killer, Gale.

Sidney never would've made sense, and Dewey

But you cracking under the pressure

and turning into ghostface would've been a great twist.

Keep talking, asshole.

[Chuckles] Sure. What do you want to talk about?

[Breathing heavily]

You never got to be the leading lady, did you?

It was always all about poor sweet Sidney,

sucking up all the oxygen.

What did that leave you to be?

The brains and the sex appeal.

Sorry about your boyfriend.

All those muscles didn't help much.

They sure didn't.

[Ghostface laughing]

Can you hold, please?

Huh?[line clicks]

[Line ringing][Phone ringing]

[Ghostface grunts]

[Ringing continues]

[Screaming]

[Both grunting]

[Screaming]

[Grunting, groaning]

[Grunts][Screams]

[Both grunting]

Fuck you!

[Sam] Hey, fuckface!

Gale!

[Sam] Oh, shit. Gale?

Gale.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

I should've known that he was gonna come after you.

I'm so sorry.[Sirens wailing in distance]

He didn't get me.

Tell Sidney

he never got me.

[Sirens continue wailing]

[Grunts]

Gale?

- Gale. - Gale.

[Sam] Gale? Please.[Elevator dings]

[Paramedic 1] Out of the way!

- Out of the way! - Move. You got to move. Move!

No! No!

Okay. Get them back, please.[Tara] Sam, please!

- They need to move now. - Excuse me. Please step back.

[Paramedic 1] Call it in.[Paramedic 2] right away.

[Paramedic 1] Checking.[Tara] come on, Gale.

Got a weak pulse. Get the backboard.

We need to move now.[Paramedic 2] yeah.

[Paramedics chattering]

Backboard! Let's move.

[Sirens wailing]

[Danny] Hey. Hey.

I got here as fast as I could.

Did you?

I'm scared, you guys.

I really don't want to get hurt again.

Neither do I.

I don't want you getting hurt again, either.

I know. I know.

So what do we do now?

Maybe he gets to win this time.

He wants to punish me.

Me.

So maybe I let him. [Sniffles]

I'll just give myself up.

[Crying] If this is what I have to do

to keep you safe,

it's worth it.

No, we're not doing that, Sam.

You went back to woodsboro to protect me.

Every single day, you make the decision to protect me.

None of us would even be alive if it weren't for you.

You have to let us protect you this time.

- No. - Yes.

We're a team, remember?

Actually,

we're a family.

Let's go! Core four! Come on.

- Core four. - Come on.

- Core what? - It's an us thing.

[Chuckles]

He's gonna keep coming after us.

Isn't there somewhere safe we could just hole up in?

No, he's gonna keep finding us.

[Sighs] Great.

We could use that, though.

I'm getting my ass chewed out for not dropping the case

We want to lure him to a secure location

And then what?

We execute him.

Are you gonna help us?

Let's kill the son of a bitch.

Now, I'm stuck here,

but Gale gave us the keycards to the theater.

It's got heavy surveillance and security cameras,

but we can use that against him.

I'll tell Kirby to meet you there.

I'll join you as soon as I can.

- Got it. - And remember, travel in public.

The more people around you, the less chance he has

to take a shot at you before you get there.

[Crowd chattering, laughing]

[Ethan] Is this even a good plan?

You don't have to come if you don't want to.

So we just peel off and the killer picks us off

Let's just get to the theater. Come on, in here.

Yes, because it'll be much less scary

at the serial killer movie theater.

[Mindy] Fuck.

Wait, hey, hey! Chad!

Hey! Fuck! Chad!

Tara!

- Wait, where's mindy? - Chad! Sam! Hey, Sam!

Mindy! Mindy! Mindy!

Let's go. Shit.

Fuck!

Fuck.

[Gasps]

Get your ghostface ass away from me, ghostface.

[Announcer over pa] The next local one train

to south ferry will arrive in...

Go away.

Five minutes.

- Where's mindy? - She missed the train.

I was gonna wait for her, but cute boy here dragged me on.

- Trying to keep us together. - By pulling us apart?

It's okay.

It's fine. She's with Ethan.

She'll meet us there.

[Announcer over pa] This is a south ferry bound

local one train.

Oh, shit.

The next stop is 79th street.

[Electricity crackling]

How many stops do we have?

Ten.

[Sighs]

[Announcer over pa] This is 79th street.

[Passengers chattering, laughing]

[Announcer over pa] This is a south ferry bound

The next stop is 72nd street.

[Cell phone chimes]

[Passengers chattering]

[Announcer over pa] This is a south ferry bound

The next stop is 79th street.

[Grunts][Gasps]

[Masked passenger laughs]

Sorry!

[Sighs]

Still nothing from mindy.

[Announcer over pa] This is 72nd street.

Guys?

[Passenger 1] Dude!

[Passenger 2] Watch yourself, man.

[Announcer over pa] The next stop is 66th street,

Lincoln center.

Hey.

Fuck you.

[Announcer over pa] This is a south ferry bound

local one train.

The next stop is 66th street,

Lincoln center.

[Sighs]

[Passengers cheering]

[Muffled screaming]

[Heartbeat thumping]

[Mindy grunting, groaning]

[Groans]

[Announcer over pa] This is 66th street,

Lincoln center.

[Groaning]

[Whimpering]

[Train doors open][Announcer] as you exit,

please be careful of the platform and the train.

[Groans]

Oh, shit.

Mindy! Fuck!

Shit, shit. Mindy!

Fuck, that's a lot of blood.

[Groans] Help! Somebody help!

Fuck. We got to get you out of here, okay?

[Groaning]

Damn it.

Come on![Mindy] fuck.

Shit. Somebody call 911!

[Groaning]

Oh, my god. - Yeah, I'm so good.

You're gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay.

Goddamn it. I got it wrong again.

What the fuck?

Help!

[Staff member] We need medical assistance.

We're at the 66th street station.

Fuck this franchise.

[Kirby] Hey.

I talked to Bailey. I've got everything set up.

- Where are mindy and Ethan? - They're five minutes

[Kirby] Let's get you all inside.

- Not you. - What?

Don't trust anyone, remember?

We don't know you.

Not really.

You know me.

You're not woodsboro.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. It's okay, I get it.

Be safe, okay?

Okay?

You, too.

Good call.

[Lock beeps]

[Kirby] I cleared the whole place

[Door closes]

So, this is the only way in or out.

He steps in through the first door,

both doors lock automatically, trapping him inside.

We turn it into a kill box.

- Weapons? - One gun,

I am the only one with a badge here

and that's the way it's gonna be.

We're safe here.

I'm gonna check in with mindy. See if they're close.

[Line ringing]

Come on, come on.

[Mindy] Hey, you've reached me. Leave a message.

[Billy] You know you're not safe here.

Whenever someone says, "we're safe here,"

it means you're not.[Sam] not now.

But you're smarter than this, Sam.

Grab a weapon and clear this place yourself.

You know I'm right.

Excellent choice.

My favorite.

[Door closes]

[Sam] Kirby?

Kirby!

[Cell phone rings][Gasps, panting]

Hello?

Get everyone out of there, Sam. You're not safe.

I heard from the Atlanta field office.

They said agent Reed's been on a downward spiral

ever since the woodsboro - murders last year.

They fired Kirby two months ago for being mentally unstable.

What? she's no longer with the FBI.

[Gasps]

[Breathing heavily]

[Gasps]

[Projector turns on]

[Phone ringing]

[Woman] Listen, asshole.

[Man] No, you listen, you little bitch.

Hang up on me, I'll gut you like a fish. Understand?

[Woman] What do you want?

[Man] To see what your insides look like.

Oh, shit.

[Screaming]

[Tara] When was the last time anybody used this place?

It's so old.

[Thunder rumbling]

[Chad chuckles]

Um. I'm sorry, you can have them.

- Take them. - No, I mean...

If you want them, you have them.

- You think I want these? - Kind of.

They're a hundred years old.[Laughs]

Maybe that's your thing.

I actually...

It's maybe embarrassing how long I've wanted to do that.

Yeah, you should've done that a lot sooner.

I know.

But you could also do it a lot more times.

[Screams] Tara!

[Ghostface grunts]

[Chad grunts]

Tara, let's go. Come on, come on!

[Both scream]

[Chad] Come on, go, go, go!

It's Kirby. She's the killer.[Chad] no shit!

- That's locked. Come on. - Are we trapped?

She made this whole theater a kill box. For us.

Hey, what about that? There's an exit door.

Maybe it leads to the roof or something?

There's only one way to find out. Let's go.

Bailey's on the way, but...

[Ghostface grunts]

Oh, fuck!

Beheadings!

[Sam] Tara! Come on.

Smile for the camera, motherfucker!

[Ghostface grunts]

This way! Come on!

She should be running out the front door.

[Ghostface grunts]

[Tara pants, screams]

[Chad] Get fucked!

Tara, go! Go!

[Screams]

No!

Chad!

Run.

Go.

This way. Up here. Come on.

[Tara shouting, sobbing]

[Man] Everybody's a suspect.

You're not scared, are you?

[Sobs] Oh, Sam!

[Man] It's a lot scarier when there's no motive.

Ready?[sobbing]

I need you to be ready. Ready?

Look at me.

I'm ready.

Come on, motherfucker!

[Gunshots]

It's okay!

- Stay the fuck back! - We know it's you, Kirby.

[Stammers]

One of them knocked me out.

[Bailey] Kirby, stop!

Get away from the girls!

What are you doing?

Did you kill Quinn? Did you kill my daughter?

Jesus Christ!

Whatever he's been saying to you, don't listen to him.

He's probably the killer.

Behind you!

[Gasps]

Great job.

Both of you.

- You? - Yeah, of course me.

Frankly, I expected more from the two of you

after what you did to us.

What do you mean, "us"?

[Bailey chuckling] Ta-da!

Mindy was right. [Chuckles]

It was easy to juke the roommate lottery.

All I had to do to meet you

was room with a conceited, condescending Alpha

literally named Chad.

Fuck, it felt good to kill him!

This was your grandmother's, Sam.

Nancy loomis?

Really runs in your fucking family, doesn't it?

Speaking of family... wait for it.

My name's not Ethan Landry,

is it, dad?

"Dad"?[chuckles]

Wait. If it's you two, that just leaves...

Mindy?

Hey, roomies.

You didn't see that one coming, did you?

- Yeah, because you died! - Kind of didn't, though.

It was a good way to get off the suspect list.

Stab Gale weathers,

stab mindy on the train. That sort of thing.

Yep, and I just made sure I was first on the scene

so I could switch her body out with a fresh one.

Little fake blood, a prosthetic.

You'd be amazed at what a grieving father

I got stu macher's mask.

He was my favorite.

Nice. That's number three.

That's two.

Which leaves...

Your father's.

This is what we've been counting down to, Sam.

I'm gonna need you to put it on.

Fuck you!

[Bailey laughs] Ooh!

Stay the fuck away from her!

- [Bailey] Come on. - What? What is this?

You did this as a family?

Hell yeah, bitch!

You should know better than anyone.

They're still not getting it.

I don't know what you believe,

but I didn't commit those murders in woodsboro.

We know that. Of course you didn't.

You think this is based on some bullshit conspiracy theory?

Come on. Who do you think started the rumors about you

[Giggles] Do you know how easy it was

to turn Sam from the hero of woodsboro

How easy it is to convince the world

to believe the worst in people rather than the best?

Because it's not enough to just kill someone these days.

You have to assassinate their character first.

So when dad here "discovers" your horribly mutilated bodies...

[Gasps]

Posed with Sam wearing her father's mask,

he'll say some poor dumb bastard read on the Internet

and took matters into their own deluded hands.

Exactly! That's why it's the perfect alibi.

And all the best lies are based on the truth.

And you're a killer.

- Just like your father. - No, I'm not!

Yes, you are, you motherfucker! You killed our brother!

What are you talking about?

You said your brother died in a car accident.

[Ethan] No, no, no, you sweet, dumb thing.

He died in woodsboro

at the hands of your bitch sister.

[Thunder rumbling]

You're Richie's family.

Yeah.

Ding-ding-ding-ding! She's finally starting

Now! It wasn't until I saw that photograph

of what you'd actually done to him that I knew.

That I knew you had to fucking die! You had to be punished!

Along with anyone else who stands in our way.

There she is.

There's the fucking killer.

Great parenting job, by the way.

Shut your whore fucking mouth!

[Tara] Shit.[Sam] you okay?

Have I been a perfect dad? No.

Have I maybe overindulged Richie's love

Yeah, maybe.

For me, they're just a little dark.

But...

Richie really loved them.

He loved them!

He even made a few of his own.

Did you know? Did you know?

So you think I didn't post a holiday special.

Well, I tried to. I really did try.

That I could interact with.

There's a very special bond between a father

and his first son.

[Thunder rumbling]

Which is why I helped him build this collection.

This was all his?

Yes, he's a very passionate collector.

And he inspired others.

We had to kill those two wannabe film students

because, well, we had to kill you first, Sam.

I put the theater in their name, then good old detective Bailey

but I didn't have to because, by golly,

that Gale weathers is one hell of a journalist.

I built a tribute to my son.

Which is why this is where you have to die, Sam,

surrounded by all the things he loved the most.

What happens next?

After you're done with us you just disappear?

No! We got to hurry over to the hospital

and make sure mindy and Gale don't pull through.

Everyone who had anything to do with the death of my son

- Fuck yeah, they do! - Yeah!

Now put on the mask.

He was... [sighs] So pathetic.

[Scoffs]

- That's not true. - Yeah, your son,

he was a man-baby

who made his girlfriend do all the killing.

He was a strong, virile young man!

He was a limp-dick little fuck

who cried before I slit his throat.

Shut the fuck up!

[Coughing] Sam, come on!

[Both grunt]

Recognize this?

Fuck you!

Sorry, but I kind of need this.

Fuck 'em up.

What are you gonna do about it, bitch?

Ow! Fuck!

[Screams]

Sam!

[Grunts]

I'll get help.

[Grunts]

[Screaming]

[Tara] Be careful.

[Sam grunts] Come on.

[Gunshot][Tara screams]

[Laughing]

[Yelps]

Go get her. Get her!

[Tara] I can't grab you.[Sam] it's okay.

I can't grab on. I can't grab on.

No![Tara screaming]

[Sam] No!

I've always wanted to stick something in you, Tara.

- Fuck you! - Fuck you!

[Chuckles] You guys are so fucked now!

[Tara] Sam.

[Metal scraping]

[Tara] Sam?

- Let me go. - No!

Yeah, let her go, Sam, come on.

[Metal screeches] Fuck!

Trust me.[Ethan] fuck!

[Metal screeching]

You have to let me go.

[Grunting, groaning]

Gotcha!

[Yelps]

[Panting][Groaning]

[Groaning]

Now die a fucking virgin.

[Panting, sobbing]

Looks like you're down another brother.

[Screams]

Always got to shoot them in the head.

[Gun clicking]

Oh, fuck.

[Both screaming]

[Gunshot]

[High-pitched ringing]

[Grunts]

[Film on projector screen continues, indistinct]

[Man] Do you see your boyfriend anywhere?

[Woman] I don't even have a boyfriend right now.

[Man] Would you like one?

[Woman] I don't even know you and I dislike you already.

[Cell phone ringing, vibrating]

[Ghostface] Hello, detective Bailey.

I've got one question for you.

Oh, yeah?

What's that?

[Ghostface] What's your favorite

[Chuckling] "Favorite scary movie."

[Ghostface] I'm asking because you're in one now.

You're in my movie.

Oh.

I see you've put on your true face, huh?

Your birthright.

Poetic that you're gonna die in it.

This is what you wanted, isn't it?

Now you know the truth, huh? Murder's in your blood!

[Footsteps running]

Stop fucking around and show yourself!

[Ghostface] Be careful what you wish for.

All right, I'm a fucking police officer.

How do you think this is gonna go, Sam?

Who do you think they're gonna believe, huh?

Probably the one who's still alive.

[Screams][Cell phone shatters]

No! No!

[Screaming][Ghostface grunting]

[Bailey screaming][Ghostface panting]

[Breathing heavily]

[Choking]

My father was a murderer.

[Coughing]

No matter what you think,

I'm better than that.

[Coughing]

Thank you.

Thank you.

But you did fuck with our family, so...

[Screaming]

[Panting]

- Nice. - Thanks.

You okay?[Chuckles]

No.

I saw that in a scary movie once.

[Chuckles][Metal clanks]

Sam. Hey.

Two over there. Let's go.

[Officers chattering]

- Are you okay? - Yeah.

I thought you might need some reinforcements.

And I called mount sinai,

Mindy's on her way here now. They couldn't stop her.

Not bad, cute boy.

Thanks.

If you ever need me, call.

We're all part of the same fucked-up family now.

Okay.

Hey.

It's just Chad.

[Sirens wailing]

[Firefighter] Hey, we got another one here!

How are you alive?

[Chuckles] Core fucking four.

[Chad] Mmm. Mmm.

Sorry. You probably need that.

[Mindy] Oh, my god! Are you guys okay?

I know who the killer is! It's Ethan and Bailey.

- And Quinn. - And Quinn? Fuck!

Did I miss the monologue again?

Are you okay? Are you okay?

You don't look okay.

Oh, my god, we all survived. It's a twist on a twist.

They gave me a lot of drugs.

You guys should get some of these drugs.

I can't feel anything below my shoulders.
