NIGHT:
Back at the morgue BECKY finally pushes MICHAEL's body
under the examining light, still inside the BODY BAG,
she pulls out her EARBUDS and drapes them over her
shoulder and around her neck, with the muffled music
getting louder.
BECKY
You're up, big guy!
BECKY then begins unzipping the body bag slowly, and it
gets stuck under his chin once again. As she then begins
struggling with the zipper.
BECKY
Cheap ass city! When are they
going to get some new bags?
The zipper then releases, as she then opens the bag and
spreads it all around MICHAEL's body on the GURNEY, as
she then hesitates, but removes the KNIFE from his leg.
She discards the KNIFE and picks up some SHEARS and
snips them together a few times, with the SOUND of them
grinding together, she sarcastically says in a sexual
manner.
BECKY
Now! Let's get you out of them
clothes, big boy!
BECKY places the SHEARS in the bottom of MICHAEL's right
pant leg and snips them once slowly, while glancing up
at him.
CLOSE UP of MICHAEL's torso, as you HEAR one more slow
snip, You then see MICHAEL take an ominous deep breath.
BECKY extremely startled jumps up, throwing the SHEARS
down. Frightened, she runs over to the PHONE on the wall.
BECKY
(terrified)
Oh my GOD! Oh my GOD! Oh my GOD!
BECKY reaches the PHONE and begins dialing 911
frantically with her back turned to MICHAEL.
CLOSE UP of MICHAEL's MASK, suddenly his EYES OPEN.
Back to BECKY on the phone. In the background behind her,
MICHAEL slowly sits up on the GURNEY and begins
approaching BECKY.
BECKY (cont'd)
(impatient)
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Right as the DISPATCHER picks up the call, Michael grabs
BECKY by her EARBUDS that were placed over her shoulder,
around her neck, dangling down her back.
He begins strangling her. Which rips her away from the
PHONE yanking the CORD out with her, as she screams the
call is dropped.
CUT TO:
(INT.) HADDONFIELD - 911 DISPATCH OFFICES:
It then shows a quick shot of a FEMALE DISPATCHER
hearing BECKY SCREAM (O.S.), and then losing the call.
FEMALE DISPATCHER
Hello! Ma'am! Ma'am!
CUT TO:
(INT.) (X) HADDONFIELD - MORGUE/AUTOPSY ROOM - DIMLY LIT - NIGHT:
Back to the struggle between the two, as BECKY is being
strangled, and man handled.
CLOSE UP SHOT of the tension in MICHAEL's hands and then
the CORD cutting into BECKY's NECK.
With BECKY now being lifted off the ground, her legs
begin to slow, from all the kicking and flailing she
was doing. Showing that she is beginning to fade. Right
when her legs stop kicking, MICHAEL slams her head down
extremely hard onto a bone saw, that sticks into her
head, he then tosses her aside, like nothing.
CUT TO:
(INT.) HADDONFIELD - 911 DISPATCH OFFICES:
The FEMALE DISPATCHER grabs the police RADIO and reports
the call.
FEMALE DISPATCHER

SHERRIFF begins walking through the yard approaching the
house.
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
She died! I'm sorry! But right now!
I need you to go inside and lock
your doors. PLEASE!
The TEENAGE GIRL who was twiddling with her phone
complies, looking a little startled she heads inside.

It's the police! Open up Jake! We
need to put a stop to this, right
now! Before anyone else gets hurt.

more time, with no answer they decide to head in.
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
All right Jake! We gave you a shot,
we are coming in.
SHERRIFF BRACKETT kicks in the door and scans the room.
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
I want you to check the upstairs.

a locked basement door, and violently kicks it in.
