EXT. TRAIL — NIGHT
Rob and Trish walk along the trial leading back to the house. Rob holds a flashlight.
Their footsteps add to the cacophony of the storm. Trish's eyes dart about; she's become quite uneasy.
TRISH
Could we move a little faster?
ROB
Sure, just watch where you're going.
They start to jog. The beam from their flashlight is diffused through the rain as they run.
Suddenly, without warning, the aged hitchhiker the kids encountered the day before materializes from the mist. Rob almost strides into him.
TRISH
What're you doing out here‽
ROB
You know him?
TRISH
No.
HITCHHIKER
I'm one of the flock, as are you, my brother and sister.
ROB
(askance) Yeah ... sure…. (to Trish) I think we should be going.
They start to leave. The hitchhiker blocks their path.
HITCHHIKER
I can't let you go.
ROB
Look old man, we don't want any trouble.
HITCHHIKER
Then turn around and walk away from trouble.
ROB
Come on, Trish….
Rob steps past the hitchhiker. Trish follows a moment later. The hitchhiker looks after them as they go. At this moment, we're afforded a clear view of his neck. It is raw and bloody, as if lacerated by a crude garrote.
HITCHHIKER
(sad) I have done my best. I can do no more.
Trish looks back at the hitchhiker as she and Rob continue along the trial. He has vanished.
INT. JARVIS CABIN/LANDING — NIGHT
Tommy has fixed the lights and is upstairs. He can hear somebody trying to get in through the front door.
INT. JARVIS CABIN/LIVING ROOM — NIGHT
He slowly descends the steps. Someone breaks the glass in the window at the front door. Rob and Trish enter the cabin.
TRISH
(hugs Tommy) Oh, Tommy! Thank God you're okay! Tommy!
TOMMY
What happened?
TRISH
Where's Mom? Is she back yet?
TOMMY
No, not yet.
TRISH
I'm gonna call for help.
PROWLER'S P.O.V. — TRISH, TOMMY, & ROB
Looking through the window, Jason watches Trish run to the telephone.
INT. JARVIS CABIN/LIVING ROOM — NIGHT
TOMMY
Rob, what's going on?
EXT. JARVIS CABIN — NIGHT
As Trish tries to phone out, Jason pulls the connecter box from the side of the house.
INT. JARVIS CABIN/LIVING ROOM — NIGHT
TRISH
(taps phone) I'm not getting anything.
Rob retrieves his machete from his backpack.
ROB
I'm gonna go next door.
TRISH
I'm going with you.
ROB
No.
TRISH
(adamant) I'm going with you. (turns to Tommy) Tommy, you stay here, okay? And lock the door.
ROB
(touches Tommy's shoulder) Tommy, hold the fort.
EXT. JARVIS CABIN & HIGGINS HAVEN — NIGHT
Rob, Trish, and Gordon walk over to the cottage.
EXT. HIGGENS HAVE/PORCH — NIGHT
As they climb onto the porch, they see the hole in the front door.
ROB
He's been here.
TRISH
Wait a minute. What if he still is here?
ROB
(hands Trish machete) Here, take this. Take it!
Trish takes the machete and they enter the house.
INT. COTTAGE/LIVING ROOM — NIGHT
It's dark and quiet inside save for the projector still running. There's no sign of Ted's body.
As they head toward the basement door, the power goes off. The projector goes dead.
ROB
(whispering) I'm going downstairs. You stay right here with Gordon.
TRISH
(whispering) No!
ROB
(whispering) Stay right here with Gordon!
INT. COTTAGE/BASEMENT — NIGHT
Turning on his flashlight, knife in hand, Rob goes down the basement steps.
INT. COTTAGE/LIVING ROOM — NIGHT
Whimpering in fear, Gordon runs away.
TRISH
(whispering) Gordon. Gordon.
The dog dashes out the open door, into the rain.
Trish decides to check out upstairs. Machete in hand, she climbs the stairs.
INT. JARVIS CABIN/LIVING ROOM — NIGHT
Seated on the stairs, Tommy goes through Rob's bag. Finding the scrapbook, he begins going through it. He comes across a Xerox of an article from 1959. The headline reads: "Boy-Beast Sightings Continue". Underneath is an artist's conception of Jason as a child, post-resurrection. It shows a bald thirteen-year-old Jason, face shrouded in shadow, what few features shown hinting at disfigurement.
INT. COTTAGE/LANDING — NIGHT
Trish can hear water running from the bathroom.
INT. COTTAGE/BATHROOM — NIGHT
The door is open and she peeks inside. She sees the broken glass and the blood on the floor. With her eyes, she follows the bloody trail over to the corner. Doug has been spiked face-first to the wall. Trish screams and runs downstairs.
TRISH
Rob! Rob, he's here! He's here! Rob! Rob! Rob! Rob!
INT. COTTAGE/BASEMENT — NIGHT
Trish runs into the basement.
TRISH
Rob! Rob! Rob! Rob, he's here! He's here! He's killed all of them, I know it!
ROB
Alright, c'mon.
As they go upstairs, Jason's hand bursts through one of the steps, grabbing Rob's ankle from underneath.
ROB
Shit! Give me a hand!
Trish hacks away at Jason's wrist with the machete, forcing him to let go. Unfortunately for Rob, he topples backward, tumbling down the steps to the bottom.
TRISH
No! No! No! No!
Jason attacks Rob. Grabbing him by the shirt, he hefts him up, slamming him against the wall. Rob screams.
ROB
Run! Run! Oh, God! Run, Trish! Run! Run!
Trish stares in disbelief. Then she bolts up the stairs.
Taking Rob's head in his hands, Jason squeezes, crushing Rob's skull. His left eye popping out, Rob's screams instantly trail off.
INT. COTTAGE/ENTRANCE HALL — NIGHT
Trish runs for the front door. As she opens it, she finds Vera's body lying there.
INT. COTTAGE/KITCHEN — NIGHT
Tricia runs into the kitchen. Opening the back door, she finds Jimmy's body crucified across the frame.
Lifting a chair, she shatters a window. Tossing the machete through, she crawls outside.
EXT. COTTAGE/FRONT YARD — NIGHT
Trish runs for home, screaming.
INT. JARVIS CABIN/LIVING ROOM — NIGHT
Hearing his sister's screams, Tommy runs for the door. Unlocking it, he allows Trish inside.
TRISH
Are the doors locked‽
TOMMY
Yes.
TRISH
Go get me a hammer and nails right now!
TOMMY
Is he here?
TRISH
Yes!
Tommy goes to fetch the tools. Trish locks the windows.
TRISH
Tommy! Hurry!
Tommy returns with a hammer and nails. Trish begins nailing the door shut.
INT. COTTAGE/KITCHEN — NIGHT
Pulling Jimmy's body down out of the way, Jason strides outside.
INT. JARVIS CABIN/LIVING ROOM — NIGHT
Finished with the door, Trish goes to complete securing the windows. She looks out to see if Jason is coming, but it's too dark.
After a few moments of quiet, Tina's corpse comes crashing through the picture window.
TRISH & TOMMY
AAAHHH!!!
Trish goes to examine the body. The axe remains lodged in its sternum.
Jason crashes through another window, grabbing Tommy.
TOMMY
Help me! Help me! Help!
Screaming incoherently, Trish attacks Jason with the hammer, beating the killer on the head.
TOMMY
Help me! Help me! Let me go! Help me! Put me down!
The goalie mask offering Jason too much protection, Trish changes tactics. Flipping the hammer around, she buries the claw side in the back of his neck. He lets go of Tommy, falling back.
As Trish and Tommy run for upstairs, Jason crashes through the front door. He throws the hammer at Trish; it misses, lodging in the wall.
INT. JARVIS CABIN/TOMMY'S BEDROOM — NIGHT
Tommy and Trish dash inside, locking the door behind them. Trish goes to a large bookcase.
TRISH
Tommy! Tommy, help me push this.
They push the bookcase against the door. Then they huddle together at the back of the room.
TRISH
Where is he?
Jason jiggles the door knob. Then he bangs on the door. Then silence.
TRISH
What's he doing? What's he doing?
Having retrieved the axe, Jason chops an opening through the door. Pushing the bookcase away, he tries to enter the room. Grabbing Tommy's computer monitor, Trish smashes it on Jason's head. There is the zap and crackle of electricity as it courses through his body. He falls backward, motionless on the floor.
Tommy and Trish look at Jason through the hole in the door. He stirs, stunned but alive.
TRISH
(whispering) Listen, Tommy, I'm gonna get him outta the house. And when I do, I want you to run like hell, do you hear me? Run, like, hell. Okay?
Trish opens the door and lightly steps past Jason. Grabbing the axe, he swings it at Trish, burying it in the wall instead. She tries to jump over him, but he trips her, sending her sprawling.
TOMMY
Trish!
Jason looks at Tommy, then Trish, indecisive whom to pursue.
TRISH
Tommy, no!
Jason picks Trish. She runs down the stairs, screaming.
TOMMY
Trish!
EXT. JARVIS CABIN/FRONT YARD — NIGHT
Trish runs for the cottage with Jason close behind.
INT. COTTAGE/LIVING ROOM — NIGHT
She runs inside the house, Jason on her heels. She dashes up the stairs. Jason follows.
INT. COTTAGE/LANDING — NIGHT
At the top, she finds herself trapped with nowhere to go. She spins 'round. Jason stands there, eyes burning with cold rage. He runs toward her. Turning, Trish leaps through the landing window.
EXT. COTTAGE/FRONT YARD — NIGHT
With the crash of breaking glass, Trish tumbles through the air. She lands on her back in the mud, debris cascading all over her.
Jason looks out the window. Trish is lying motionless. Then she stirs, still alive. He ducks back inside.
Wracked with pain, Trish gets up, heading back for the cabin.
INT. JARVIS CABIN/BATHROOM — NIGHT
Sink full of water, Tommy wets his hair. Consulting Rob's scrapbook, open to the article with young Jason's picture, he takes a pair of scissors and begins cutting his hair.
INT. JARVIS CABIN/LIVING ROOM — NIGHT
Trish steps through the shattered door. Tommy hears her from upstairs.
TOMMY
(O.S.) Trish?
TRISH
(hysterical) Tommy‽ Tommy, you were supposed to leave!
Jason appears in the door behind Trish. Hearing him approach, she stealthily retrieves the machete. As Jason takes a step towards her, Trish swings the machete. It narrowly misses his face, hitting the door frame instead. Jason lunges, trying to snatch the machete. She dodges back.
INT. JARVIS CABIN/BATHROOM — NIGHT
Tommy continues cutting his hair.
INT. JARVIS CABIN/DINING ROOM — NIGHT
Jason keeps coming. Trish swings the machete, trying to hit him, but he keeps evading her swipes. Then as he tries to make another grab for her, she embeds the blade in his left hand, cleaving it in half. Pulling the blade free, she dashes away as Jason examines the wound, unnatural black blood jetting from it.
INT. JARVIS CABIN/BATHROOM — NIGHT
Razor in hand, Tommy has begun shaving his head.
INT. JARVIS CABIN/LIVING ROOM — NIGHT
TRISH
Tommy! Tommy, get the hell out of here!
Jason continues advancing.
TRISH
(enraged) You son of a bitch! I'm gonna give you something to remember us by.
Trish hits Jason's chest. The strikes angers more than harms Jason. Pulling the machete out of Trish's hand, he casts it aside, knocking out a lamp in the process. Grabbing her throat, he drives her to the floor. With his ruined hand, Jason begins tearing at Trish's shirt. His plans for her extend beyond mere murder.
TRISH
AAAHHH!!!
Tommy comes running down the stairs.
TOMMY
Jason! Jason!
Hearing Tommy's call, Jason turns to him. Tommy is now nearly completely bald, dark makeup applied to his cheeks and under his eyes to give him a death-like pallor. Sensing something familiar about the boy, Jason slowly approaches him.
TOMMY
Remember me, Jason? Jason, don't you remember? Remember, Jason? Jason, remember? Remember?
Hypnotized, Jason raises his hands and steps closer.
While Jason is preoccupied with Tommy, Trish picks up the machete. She sneaks up behind him, lifting back the blade. As she takes a swing at Jason's head, he turns to face her. The blade cuts through the goalie mask's strap, knocking it off. For the very first time, we see the face of Jason Voorhees. The left side appears almost normal, but the right is a mass of twisted flesh, complete with snaggleteeth and a drooping, lazy eye. On his forehead is a deep, diagonal scar from the axe wound he received four years ago, punctuating his profound ugliness.
Horrified, Trish drops the machete to the floor. Keyed up, Jason forgets his social anxiety and advances on her. Leaping from the steps, Tommy takes up the machete. Hearing Tommy, Jason spins 'round. With both hands, Tommy buries the machete in the left side of Jason's head, piercing his eyeball.
JASON
AAAHHH!!!
Blood spurting from the deep wound, Jason falls to his knees and then forward, landing on the machete and sliding down the blade.
TRISH
AAAHHH!!!
Jason's jaw moves and his lazy eye rolls as blood gushes, soaking the rug beneath him, staining it black as pitch.
Crying, Trish stares at Jason as life finally ebbs from his preternatural body. Inspecting his handiwork, Tommy retrieves the gory machete.
TRISH
Tommy.
Tommy and Trish hug in the middle of the room. They weep with both relief and sorrow.
As they are hugging, Tommy looks at the body of Jason Voorhees. The fingers are moving slightly. Pushing Trish away, Tommy attacks the body with the machete.
TRISH
Tommy! (beat) Tommy! Tommy!
TOMMY
Die! Die!
TRISH
(cont'd) Tommy!
TOMMY
(cont'd) Die!
TRISH
(cont'd) Tommy!
TOMMY
(cont'd) Die!
Tommy continues hacking away. He won't stop until there's nothing left of Jason to regenerate.
INT. JARVIS CABIN/LIVING ROOM — DAY
It's a bright, sunny morning. Trish and Tommy are curled up together on the couch, asleep.
From the distance, police sirens can be heard. Roused by the sirens, Trish wakes up. Careful not to disturb Tommy, she rises from the couch, walking to the demolished picture window. The sirens grow louder.
TRISH
(cups mouth; shouting) Over here! (beat) Over here!
Tommy wakes up.
TOMMY
Trish ... is it over?
TRISH
Yes, Tommy, the police are next door. (beat) Tell them to come over, we need help.
As Tommy goes to fetch the police, Trish returns to the couch. She hears the sound of dripping water. Looking up, she sees water trickling down from upstairs.
Rising, she climbs the stairs.
INT. JARVIS CABIN/BATHROOM — DAY
Opening the door, Trish enters. She discovers the water is coming from the overflowing bathtub. The shower curtains are drawn. With trepidation, Trish walks toward the tub. She pulls a curtain open.
TRISH
(horrified) No, Mom!
Lying in the tub, submerged, is Tracy. The woman is quite dead.
Drawing her mother out of the water, Trish hugs her close.
TRISH
(crying) Mom ... oh, Mom...! Oh, Mommy...!
Trish cradles Tracy's head in her hand. Suddenly, her eyes open. Solid white, they gaze at something behind Trish. Looking behind her, Trish sees Tommy standing there, the machete encrusted with Jason's black blood held aloft.
TRISH
AAAHHH!!!
Skin ashen, eyes burning with cold rage, he cuts her down.
INT. HOSPITAL/TRISH'S ROOM — DAY
Trish wakes up from her nightmare. Wearing a white gown, she's reclining beneath the covers of a hospital bed.
Tommy stands in the open doorway. The room dimly lit, he's cast in shadow.
TRISH
Tommy?
Tommy runs to his sister for a hug. They embrace, grieving. Abruptly, the grimace falls from Tommy's face. His features become strangely expressionless. A cold rage appears in Tommy Jarvis' eyes.
FADE OUT
