(INT.) (X) HADDONFIELD - PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL -
HALLWAY - POWER OUT - NIGHT - STORMING:
P.O.V. of the extremely dark hallway focused on LAURIE's
door as she cautiously pokes her head out, looking both
ways, in the background it shows a door with a lit up
EXIT SIGN above it, as if it's a stairwell.
LAURIE comes out and cautiously heads away from the
stairwell towards the CAMERA.
It then shows a shot of her feet as she almost tip toes
down the hall slowly, barefoot.
TRACKING SHOT over her shoulder, following her as she
walks, approaching the center area where the NURSES,
monitor the area.
Before reaching it, something startles LAURIE, she sees
a SHADOW of the NURSE, who is sitting down appearing to
be filling out paperwork, and a SHADOW of what appears
to be MICHAEL standing behind her.
LAURIE terrified slowly peeks around the corner seeing
the NURSE, come into view first who is working at what
looks like a reception counter, and then just a plain
old coat rack with a doctor’s coat on it, and a hat
that's casting a shadow on the wall.
Relieved LAURIE slowly comes around the corner
approaching the NURSE, who looks up and gets startled.
NURSE
LAURIE! what are you doing?
Why are you not asleep?
LAURIE
What's going on? Why is nobody
acting like anything is wrong?
NURSE
Laurie! It's just the storm. It
knocked the power out. You didn’t
take the pills, did you?
LAURIE
No, I didn’t! I knew something
like this would happen!
NURSE
Laurie! There is nothing wrong.
The Sherriff said earlier, they
have them both. You have nothing
to worry about. I promise!
LAURIE
How do you know that? Have you
talked to the Sherriff, since then.
NURSE
No, I haven’t! But trust me!
There is nothing you need to worry
about. Just go back to your room
and get some sleep.
LAURIE complies and begins slowly heading back to her
room, looking down at the ground.
BACKWARDS TRACKING SHOT in front of LAURIE showing her
and the dark hallway behind her, as she slowly walks.
Suddenly you see MICHAEL behind her down the hall.
In SLOW MOTION LAURIE turns her head, and sees him with
a scream, she begins running down the hall in the other
direction.
The NURSE stands to her feet and looks in LAURIE's
direction, oblivious to the MICHAEL coming her way.
NURSE
LAURIE, What is it? What is wrong?
The NURSE looks back, but it is too late. MICHAEL
reaches over the counter, grabs the NURSE by her pony
tail, and pulls her head to the edge of the counter,
with her head just hanging over the edge struggling. He
lifts his butcher KNIFE.
Just as LAURIE looks back, the NURSE screams.
MICHAEL lowers the blade quickly decapitating the NURSE.
It then shows LAURIE screaming and running for the
stairwell at the other end of the hall.
That also shows MICHAEL in the background, holding the
NURSE's decapitated head, by its pony tail at his side.
LAURIE bursts through the door, into the stairwell.

SCENE #21 MY BROTHERS KEEPER
(INT.) HADDONFIELD - PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL - STAIRWELL -
POWER OUT - NIGHT - STORMING:
LAURIE bursts through the door and clashes into the
rail terrified, she looks over the rail, and down the
stairwell, a few floors down sees another terrifying
sight, as JAKE is slowly ascending the stairs, towards
her. Like a horrible NIGHTMARE, she shouts.
LAURIE
NO! NO! GOD, NO!
LAURIE, realizing her only way out or hope is UP.
She runs up the stairs, but realizes, she was already
on the top floor, as she runs into the door that leads
to the roof, that's locked.
She begins fearing she is trapped, and looks over at a
fire extinguisher that's next to the door and begins
beating the lock, until it releases.
LAURIE
Come on! Come on! PLEASE!
The lock brakes, LAURIE then runs out to the rooftop and
into the storm, just as JAKE reached the stairs below
her, with no sight of the MICHAEL yet.
CUT TO:
(EXT.) (X) HADDONFIELD - PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL -
ROOFTOP - NIGHT - STORMING:
LAURIE frantically bursts from the stairwell door, out
onto the roof and into the storm. She begins looking
for another way down and out of this trap.
She sees another door on the on the other side of the
building that leads into another stairwell.
LAURIE rushes over to it, but it's locked, from the
inside. Defeated she gives up and begins accepting her
fate, she cries.
Suddenly the door she exited, is flung open violently,
JAKE comes walking out onto the roof.
LAURIE shrieks, covers her mouth and crawls down behind
a ventilation system, peeking over, as JAKE is getting
closer, as he searches the rooftop. She hunkers down,
against the ventilation duct, with her hand over her
mouth, now behind her on the other side of the
ventilation duct, JAKE walks into view.
Just as he is getting closer and about to find her, :eek:
