RETRIBUTION



RETRIBUTION

AN ORIGINIAL SCRIPT BY:

MATTHEW W. RUBY

FADE IN:

INT. PARKER RESIDENCE - KITCHEN - DAY

MEREDITH, 44, is standing over the stove making breakfast for her husband and kids.

She's cooking eggs, bacon, sausage, and whipping up a batch of blueberry pancakes.

INT. PARENTS' BEDROOM

RICHARD, 46, is standing in front of the mirror in his work suit and adjusting his tie.

RICHARD

(To himself.)

You will win this case today if it's the last thing you do.

INT. SAMANTHA'S BEDROOM

SAMANTHA, 17, is lying in bed when her alarm clock starts going off in her ear.

She lazily slaps around for the alarm clock and knocks it to the ground, breaking it.

SAM

Shit.

She slowly pulls the covers off her, sits up in her bed, and wipes her eyes.

INT. BRANDON'S BEDROOM

Brandon, 18, is climbing through his window because he snuck out last night and is just getting back in.

He falls to the floor.

Samantha opens his bedroom door and looks inside to see him lying on the floor.

SAM

What are you doing?

BRANDON

(Playing it cool.)

What are you doing?

SAM

Waking you up.

BRANDON

I'm awake.

Samantha rolls her eyes and closes the door as she goes about her business.

INT. KITCHEN

Meredith pours pancake mix onto the frying pan and walks over to the cabinet by the fridge to get out the syrup.

She turns her attention towards the swinging door in the kitchen to see her youngest daughter, CHRISTINE, 7, run inside.

CHRISTINE

Mommy!

MEREDITH

What's wrong, honey?

Christine holds out "Patty" her doll.

CHRISTINE

Patty's sick. Can we take her to the doctor's house?

MEREDITH

How about I take her while you're at school and when you get back she'll be all better?

CHRISTINE

OK.

MEREDITH

Now how about you and Patty get ready for breakfast?

Christine makes her way over to the kitchen table and sits Patty down in a chair.

MEREDITH

Christine, sweetie, do mommy a favor and tell everyone breakfast is ready.

CHRISTINE

OK.

INT. HALLWAY

Brandon stands on the other side of the bathroom door knocking on it roughly.

BRANDON

Samantha, open the door! You've been in there for twenty minutes!

SAM (OS)

Chill out! I'll be out in a second! Stop being an asshole!

BRANDON

You're not the only one in the house who needs to take a shower.

SAM (OS)

Well if you weren't out all night and got to bed at a decent time then you could've got in here before me!

BRANDON

Quit being a bitch!

SAM (OS)

Brandon, do us all a favor and go fuck yourself!

Samantha opens the bathroom door to see Brandon standing there with their father.

RICHARD

I heard that.

SAM

I have a feeling I'm not going out tonight, am I?

RICHARD

Nope.

Richard smiles and makes his way down the steps.

Samantha looks over to Brandon who is laughing at her.

SAM

Shut up.

She pokes him in the arm, but he pinches her in the ribs and runs into the bathroom.

SAM

Ouch!

Christine comes walking up behind her and grabs her by the hand to get her attention.

SAM

(Smiling.)

Hi, beautiful. What's up?

CHRISTINE

Mommy wanted me to come tell you it's time for breakfast.

SAM

OK. I'll be right down.

CHRISTINE

Samantha, what's an asshole?

Samantha smiles and answers her.

SAM

Your brother.

INT. KITCHEN

Meredith and Richard are sitting down at the table eating the food she prepared.

Christine comes running into the kitchen and jumps into the chair with Patty.

CHRISTINE

They're coming!

Meredith takes a sip of her milk and turns her attention towards her husband.

MEREDITH

So how are you feeling about today, honey?

RICHARD

Not bad. Just hoping I can put this guy away, you know?

CHRISTINE

(To Meredith.)

What's today?

Meredith looks at her daughter and smiles.

MEREDITH

Well, honey, your dad is working on a very important case. If he wins he'll put the bad man in jail where he can't hurt anyone anymore.

CHRISTINE

I hope you win, daddy.

Richard looks at her and smiles.

RICHARD

Thanks, sweetie.

Samantha and Brandon make their way into the kitchen and grab a seat at the table.

MEREDITH

I'm glad you guys finally decided to join us for breakfast.

SAM

Sorry, mom.

The family starts eating their breakfast together.

Meredith remembers something that she planned on asking Samantha and Brandon earlier.

MEREDITH

Which one of you are taking the car today to school?

BRANDON

I am.

SAM

Kate is stopping by and giving me a ride this morning.

Meredith takes a bite of her food and looks to Brandon.

BRANDON

What's wrong?

MEREDITH

I need a favor from you.

BRANDON

Oh, God. Please tell me you're not going to ask me what I think you're going to ask me.

MEREDITH

I need you to take Christine to school this morning.

Brandon gets aggravated.

BRANDON

Isn't there a bus or something that she can take?

MEREDITH

She's your sister. Can't you just do me this one favor?

BRANDON

I guess.

A horn beeps.

Samantha takes a sip of her milk and grabs her dished to make her way to the sink.

SAM

That's Kate.

Richard turns his attention to Sam as she grabs her books from the kitchen table.

RICHARD

Don't forget, Samantha. Straight home after school.

SAM

(Rolling eyes.)

I know.

Samantha gives her mother, father, and sister a hug before she heads out the door.

She then gets to her brother and rubs her hand through his hair and smiles.

SAM

See you later, dork.

Samantha exits.

Meredith finishes her glass of milk.

BRANDON

So why can't you take Christine to school today?

MEREDITH

I told your Aunt Jane that I would take her to the doctor's.

Brandon looks to Christine.

BRANDON

Come on, munchkin.

CHRISTINE

OK, asshole.

Richard almost spits out his milk and looks over to Meredith to see she's just as shocked as he is.

RICHARD

Don't you ever say that word again, young lady. Where on the earth did you hear that word?

CHRISTINE

I heard Samantha call Brandon it this morning when she wouldn't come out of the potty.

Richard glances back over to Meredith.

RICHARD

She just earned herself a Saturday, Meredith.

MEREDITH

OK.

Brandon and Christine excuse themselves from the table.

Richard finishes up his coffee.

MEREDITH

Are you nervous?

RICHARD

More than you know. It's never taken this long for a jury to reach it's verdict.

MEREDITH

It's going to work out in your favor. All the evidence points to this guy.

RICHARD

That's why I find it hard to believe we haven't executed this guy already.

MEREDITH

I just wish they could find the other three men who helped him. It makes me sick to know they're still out there on the prowl.

RICHARD

Give it time. The police will catch them soon enough. It's their job.

Meredith thinks for a second.

MEREDITH

Can you just imagine how it felt for those families?

RICHARD

I can't.

MEREDITH

To watch each other die in such brutal ways is unbearable.

RICHARD

That's why these men need to go where they belong.

Meredith looks up to the clock.

MEREDITH

You better get going. It's almost about that time.

The two of them stand up and give one another a hug and a kiss on the lips.

MEREDITH

Today's the day. You got this in the bag, honey.

RICHARD

I hope so.

CUT TO:

EXT. SUBURBAN STREET - DAY

Samantha and KATE, her friend, are driving down the street in Kate's convertible.

They have the windows down and the music playing lowly in the background.

KATE

I can't believe your father actually grounded you.

SAM

Believe it.

KATE

I always thought your family was so cool, you know.

SAM

You thought wrong.

The two of them laugh as they slowly come to a stop at a stop sign.

Kate reaches into her purse and pulls out a pack of cigarettes and lights one up.

SAM

I thought you quit.

KATE

Now why would I do a stupid thing like that?

SAM

One, it can kill you. Two, your boyfriend doesn't want you smoking.

KATE

Well, what he doesn't know isn't going to kill him, is it?

Samantha starts laughing at her.

KATE

Speaking of boyfriends. When the hell are we going to find you a boyfriend?

SAM

I don't know, but did you see the new boy at school?

KATE

No, why?

SAM

Oh, my God! This guy is fuckin' gorgeous, Kate. You will die!

CUT TO:

EXT. MERRITSVILLE ELEMENTERY SCHOOL - DAY

Brandon is parked on the side of the road right next to Christine's school.

BRANDON

Do you got it from here or do you want me to talk in with you?

CHRISTINE

It's OK. We line up with our teacher before we go inside.

BRANDON

OK. Have fun.

CHRISTINE

Bye.

Christine gets out the car and runs up to her friends and starts laughing.

Brandon starts up the car, music blares, and he pulls off down the street.

CUT TO:

INT. MEREDITH'S CAR - DAY

Meredith and her sister are driving down the street when they come to a red light.

JANE

I told him I need glasses. I don't know why he doesn't believe me.

MEREDITH

He's a doctor. I'm sure he would know if you need glasses or not.

JANE

Not glasses. Contact, Meredith. I need contacts.

MEREDITH

What's the difference?

JANE

They're better for me, OK. It's a proven fact.

MEREDITH

Does Dr. Greene even know you're coming this morning?

JANE

He's going to know when he sees me waiting in his office?

Meredith shakes her head.

MEREDITH

Where's mom? I haven't talked to her in two days.

JANE

She's gone. You know this. She's went away with Mr. Thompson.

MEREDITH

She actually went away with her therapist to the Bahamas?

JANE

3:00PM, Wednesday night. Doesn't she tell you this stuff?

MEREDITH

Guess not.

CUT TO:

INT. COURTROOM - DAY

Richard walks through the courtroom doors to see everyone settling in and getting ready.

RICHARD

(Murmurs.)

Today's the day.

Richard takes his place.

CUT TO:

EXT. MERRITSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL - DAY

Samantha and Kate are making their way through the crowd of students to get to Kate's car.

What they don't know is that they're being watched in the distance by someone parked on the side of the road.

SAM

I'm going to die tonight. Stuck inside the house with my parents and my brother is going to kill me.

KATE

You'll survive. I'll call you. Why don't you see if you can talk them into letting me come over?

SAM

Yeah, I doubt they're going to let that happen when I'm grounded.

KATE

They love me. I'm like one of the family with them.

SAM

(Smiling.)

I wouldn't want you to die along with me, Kate.

KATE

I don't think I'd die. I like Brandon. I think he's hot.

Samantha rolls her eyes and looks at her.

SAM

That's disgusting. You do realize who you're talking about, don't you?

KATE

Well, while you're dying I'll be in your brother's bedroom and we'll be...

SAM

Stop it! I don't want to hear it. Please spare me the details.

The two of them start laughing.

CUT TO:

INT. KATE'S CAR - DAY

The two girls are driving down the street with the music playing in the background.

Samantha opens up her purse and pulls out her lip balm and looks into the mirror on the visor.

She starts applying the balm to her lips when she sees the reflection of the car that was sitting at her school driving behind them.

Kate looks to her.

KATE

What's wrong?

Samantha looks back at the car.

SAM

That car's been following us ever since we left school.

Kate peeks back at the car.

KATE

Are you sure?

SAM

I'm sure.

Kate's car comes to a stop once they reach Samantha's house and the car behind them continues on.

They look at her.

KATE

That was creepy. Would you have died if they stopped too?

SAM

Yes.

They two of them start laughing.

CUT TO:

INT. PARKER RESIDENCE - DAY

Samantha walks through the front door to be greeted by her mother and father.

SAM

Hey.

Richard and Meredith look at Samantha with smiles.

MEREDITH

Guess what, sweetie.

SAM

What?

Meredith looks to Richard.

MEREDITH

Should you tell her or should I tell her, honey?

RICHARD

You can.

Meredith looks back to her daughter.

MEREDITH

Your father won the case that he was working on.

SAM

(Excited.)

Oh, my God!

She gives both a hug and kiss.

SAM

That's awesome, dad. Are you guys going out to celebrate?

MEREDITH

We made reservations for dinner later tonight. Where's Brandon?

SAM

I don't know. I drove home with Kate, remember?

MEREDITH

That's right. Well, if you see him tell him Mr. Wells called and he doesn't have to go into work tonight.

SAM

OK. I'll tell him. Are you guys going somewhere right now?

MEREDITH

We're going to pick up Christine from school. We have a meeting with her Ms. Johnston to attend.

SAM

OK.

Meredith and Richard start making their out the front door, but they come to a stop as Meredith turns back around.

MEREDITH

The cable company called earlier to set up a routine inspection for today. They should be here around six. We might be here by then or we might not.

SAM

OK. Have fun.

Meredith and Richard head out the door.

INT. LIVING ROOM

Samantha makes her way into the living room and sits down on the couch and turns on the T.V.

She reaches over the end of the couch and grabs the telephone off a small end table and starts dialing.

KATE (OS)

Hello?

SAM

Hey Kate.

KATE (OS)

Oh, hey. What's up?

SAM

Not much. I left my purse in your car and was wondering if you could drop by later and give it to me.

KATE (OS)

I'm actually going out with Brian tonight, but I can stop by afterwards and give it to you.

SAM

OK. Cool. Call me later, OK?

KATE (OS)

OK. Bye.

Samantha hangs up the phone and starts flipping through the channels on the television.

The telephone starts ringing.

She answers.

SAM

Hello.

No one's on the other end.

SAM

Hello?

Someone can be heard breathing into the phone.

SAM

Knock it off, Brandon. Where the heck are you at?

The breathing continues.

SAM

(Curious.)

Hello?

Whoever was on the other end hangs up and all she hears is a dial tone.

She then hangs up the phone.

It starts ringing again, but this time she hesitate to answer it, but does.

SAM

Hello?

No one answers her.

SAM

Who is this?!

VOICE (OS)

Ma'am, this is Ben calling about your cable inspection today.

SAM

(Relieved.)

Oh, hello.

VOICE (OS)

I was calling to confirm your appointment for six o'clock tonight.

SAM

OK. That's fine.

VOICE (OS)

OK. Thank you, ma'am. You have a good day now and take care.

SAM

You too.

Samantha hangs up the telephone.

The front door can be heard opening up.

SAM

Brandon?!

BRANDON (OS)

Yeah?!

Brandon makes his way into the living room.

BRANDON

What's up?

SAM

Not much. Just sitting around looking stupid and being grounded.

BRANDON

Oh, come on. It's not that bad. Call Kate or someone and talk.

SAM

Everyone's going out tonight. I'm the outcast.

BRANDON

(Smiling.)

Christine called me an asshole today. She thought it was OK because she heard you call me it this morning.

SAM

(Laughing.)

Really?!

BRANDON

I knew that would cheer you up. Do you want to know the best part?

SAM

What's that?

BRANDON

Dad said you're going to be punished Saturday night also.

Brandon grins and walks off.

SAM

(Murmurs.)

Jerk.

CUT TO:

INT. MERRITSVILLE ELEMENTERY SCHOOL - CLASSROOM - DAY

Meredith and Richard walk into the classroom to be greeted with big hugs by Christine.

MEREDITH

Hi, sweetie.

CHRISTINE

Come quick. I have a picture I drew for you and daddy today.

Meredith follows Christine to a wall in the classroom where all the pictures were hung up.

Richard starts to follow them.

MRS. PRATT

Mr. Parker?

Richard stops and turns around to see Christine's teacher standing behind him.

RICHARD

Oh, hello. You must be Christine's teacher, Mrs. Pratt, right?

MRS. PRATT

That's me.

Meredith walks up to the two of them.

RICHARD

This is my wife.

The two ladies exchange hands and shake.

MEREDITH

I'm Meredith. It's nice to finally meet you.

MRS. PRATT

I'm Mrs. Pratt. It's nice to finally meet you as well.

MEREDITH

So what's all of this about today? Do we have to punish her?

MRS. PRATT

Well, I was hoping we could talk about your daughter's performance here in the classroom.

CUT TO:

EXT. PARKER RESIDENCE - EVENING

BEN, the cable guy, stands on the front porch after knocking on the door.

He's standing there for a few seconds when the door opens up and we see Samantha standing there.

BEN

Hi there. Is this the Parker residence, ma'am?

SAM

Yes. You're hear to check the cable, right?

BEN

Right.

SAM

Come in.

Samantha steps to the side and lets the man make his way into her house.

INT. PARKER RESIDENCE - HALLWAY

Samantha closes the door and turns around to see Ben standing there looking at her.

BEN

Where's the television?

SAM

Living room.

Ben turns around to see that the living room was practically right next to him.

He smiles.

BEN

Man, I swear I'm going blind.

SAM

You would get along with my aunt just fine.

BEN

Why's that?

SAM

I was kidding. She's a little neurotic and recently she's been complaining about her vision, calling all the doctors whack jobs, but she's the whack job.

Ben starts laughing.

BEN

Sounds like we got ourselves a match made in heaven.

SAM

Yeah.

The two of them start laughing.

INT. PARKER RESIDENCE - LIVING ROOM

Ben makes his way into the living room and heads over to the T.V. in the corner of the room.

Samantha follows right behind him.

SAM

Would you like me to get you a glass of water or something?

BEN

Oh, please.

SAM

Sure.

INT. PARKER RESIDENCE - KITCHEN

Samantha stands in kitchen as she opens up the cabinet and pulls out a glass cup.

She turns around to make her way to the fridge and sees Brandon standing behind her.

He startled her.

SAM

Jesus.

BRANDON

What are you doing? Who's that guy in there?

SAM

Cable guy. He's doing a routine check of some sort.

BRANDON

What's the cup for?

SAM

He's thirsty.

Samantha opens up the fridge and pulls out a bottle water.

BRANDON

Well, I'm out of here. I have to go to work.

SAM

Oh, I almost forget to tell you. Mr. Wells called earlier and said you didn't have to come in tonight.

BRANDON

Are you serious?

SAM

Yeah.

BRANDON

Awesome! I can start on my paper now and be done by nine.

SAM

What's happening at nine?

BRANDON

I told Ashley I'd take her to the movies tonight.

Samantha fills up the glass cup with the bottle of water and drops a few ice cubes in it.

BRANDON

Where's mom?

SAM

She and dad had to go get Christine from school because they had a meeting with her teacher.

BRANDON

OK. Cool. Well, I'll be up in my room if you need me.

SAM

OK.

INT. PARKER RESIDENCE - LIVING ROOM

Samantha makes her way into the living with the glass of water in her hand.

SAM

Here you go.

Ben turns around from behind the television and takes the glass of water from her.

BEN

Thank you.

SAM

You're welcome.

Ben sits the water on the television.

BEN

So do you live in this house all alone or with family?

SAM

Family.

BEN

I bet this house is pretty creepy at night. Being that it's so isolated out here on all this land.

SAM

It can be.

Ben is done with the check up.

BEN

I'm going to need someone eighteen or older to sign this.

SAM

Oh.

BEN

How old are you?

SAM

Seventeen. My brother's eighteen. Let me call him for you.

INT. BRANDON'S BEDROOM

Brandon is sitting down in front of his computer with his head phones on and the music blasting.

SAM

Brandon.

He doesn't hear her.

She walks over and taps him on the shoulder.

He takes off the head phones and look at her.

BRANDON

What's up?

SAM

You need to come sign this form for the cable guy.

BRANDON

Why can't you do it?

SAM

Not eighteen.

CUT TO:

INT. RICHARD'S MERCEDES

Richard is behind the wheel of his car and driving down the street to get home.

Meredith is sitting in the passenger's side and Christine is playing in the back.

MEREDITH

Christine, sweetie, your father and I are so proud of you.

CHRISTINE

Thank you, mommy.

MEREDITH

We're going to take you for ice cream, OK?

CHRISTINE

(Excitedly.)

Yay!

Meredith looks to Richard.

MEREDITH

Do you mind?

RICHARD

Nope.

CUT TO:

Samantha stands in the bathroom as she turns on the tub water about to take a bath.

She reaches under the kitchen sink and pulls out a bottle of bubble bath and pours some into the tub.

INT. SAMANTHA'S BEDROOM

Samantha walks into her bedroom and over to her closet and opens the doors.

She pulls out her clothes that she's going to wear and sets them on the bed.

She then makes her way over to her computer desk and grabs her iPOD and heads back towards the bathroom.

INT. RICHARD'S MERCEDES

Richard, his wife, and his little girl are driving down the street and they're almost home.

Christine sits in the back eating ice cream.

RICHARD

I forgot to ask how your trip was with Jane to the doctor's.

MEREDITH

(Smiling.)

I think you can pretty much guess how that went.

RICHARD

Not good, huh?

MEREDITH

She's definitely a trip. She had the doctor's laughing.

CUT TO:

INT. PARKER RESIDENCE - BRANDON'S BEDROOM

Brandon is still sitting down in front of the computer with the music blaring in his ears through his head phones.

He's bobbing a bit with the beat.

INT. BATHROOM

Samantha is still sitting back and relaxed when she hears something the bathroom door close.

She takes off her iPOD.

SAM

Brandon, is that you?

No one answers her.

SAM

Brandon?

The curtains fly open and she sees Ben, the cable guy, standing there.

She screams as loud as she can.

Ben reaches down and grabs her by the hair and tries to pull her out the tub.

SAM

(Terrified.)

No! Please!

Sam struggles with Ben and continues screaming and kicking.

Water splashed all over the place.

SAM

Brandon, help me!

INT. BRANDON'S BEDROOM

Brandon is sitting in front of the computer typing away and listening to his head phones.

The music is too loud to hear Samantha's cried.

INT. BATHROOM

Ben and Samantha are still struggling.

BEN

Come here, you little bitch. Ben's got something for you.

SAM

Please!

Samantha is yanked out the tub, but she grabs a hold of the shower curtain and pulls it off with her.

Her naked body is tangled up in the shower curtain as Ben starts pulling her out the bathroom.

SAM

Let me go!

INT. HALLWAY

Ben drags Samantha by her hair down the hallway and makes his way into her bedroom.

INT. SAMANTHA'S BEDROOM

Samantha continues screaming and crying, but Brandon still doesn't hear her.

She looks around her room to see that there are two other guys in the room with them.

They're looking at her with grins.

SAM

Stop! Please! What are you doing?! Let me go!

Ben throws Samantha onto the bed.

Samantha continues kicking and screaming as the two other men with Ben grab her feet and pull her.

They force her to lie down.

SAM

Oh, God! No!

Ben takes off his shirt.

The doors open up and they step out.

CUT TO:

INT. PARKER RESIDENCE - SAMANTHA'S BEDROOM

She screams and kicks to get away.

Ben takes off his pants.

BEN

I told you Ben's got something for you, bitch.

INT. LIVING ROOM

Richard, Meredith, and Christine step inside the house to be greeted by Samantha's screams.

RICHARD

What the hell?!

Meredith looks to Christine.

MEREDITH

Stay here, honey.

Richard and Meredith take off up the steps.

INT. SAMANTHA'S BEDROOM

Meredith and Richard swing open the bedroom door to see the men holding Samantha down and Ben on top of her.

RICHARD

(Stunned.)

Oh, my God!

MEREDITH

Get away from my daughter, you sick motherfucker!

Meredith takes off running towards the men.

Ben looks at her and smiles as he pulls out a gun, takes aim, and fire a bullet right through her head.

Meredith falls back in her own puddle of blood.

The men get off Samantha and she crawls away and covers up with her blankets.

All three of the men pull out their gun and take aim at Samantha and Richard.

SAM

Mom!

Richard makes his way over to his lifeless wife.

BEN

You must be the man of the house. Am I right?

RICHARD

Motherfucker!

Richard charges at Ben, but only to be knocked to the ground by all three men.

Brandon enters the room.

BRANDON

What's going on?

The three main take aim at Brandon also.

Brandon looks down to see his lifeless mother.

BRANDON

Oh, God.

BEN

Boo-fuckin'-hoo! Get your pussy ass in this goddamn room, boy!

Brandon makes his way over to Samantha and sits on the bed and hugs her.

SAM

What do you want from us? Just leave us alone.

BEN

I just want a few words with your dad here and we'll be good.

Ben grabs Richard by the hair and points the gun in face and pulls him up to his knees.

BEN

Get up. Follow me.

Ben and Slim, the second intruder, make their way out of the bedroom with Richard.

Bobby, the third intruder, stays in the bedroom to keep his eye on Samantha and Brandon.

SAM

Let us go. We didn't do anything to you, you asshole!

BOBBY

Shut up, bitch.

Brandon gets pissed.

BRANDON

You better watch who you're calling a bitch, motherfucker.

Bobby aims the gun at Brandon.

BOBBY

I'm the one with the gun. So you better watch who you're calling a motherfucker, got it?

They stand there in silence for a few seconds.

CHRISTINE (OS)

Mommy?!

Bobby gets up and takes aim with his gun as he makes his way over to the door.

BOBBY

Who's that?

SAM

It's my little sister. Please don't let her come here.

Bobby looks to Samantha.

BOBBY

Get over here.

SAM

What do you want?

BOBBY

Come tell her to go play with her fuckin' dolls or something before I let her come in here and see the mess we created with mommy dearest.

Samantha gets up and makes her way over to the bedroom door and peeks outside to see Christine.

SAM

Hi, sweetie.

Samantha had the blanket wrapped around her.

CHRISTINE

Where's mommy?

SAM

She went away for a bit. Will you do me a favor, honey?

CHRISTINE

OK.

SAM

I want you to go to your room and draw me a bunch of pretty pictures of flowers and horses, OK?

CHRISTINE

Why?

SAM

I want to show all my friends what a good drawer you are.

CHRISTINE

Yeah!

SAM

There's one another thing. I want you to lock your bedroom door and don't come out until I come get you.

CHRISTINE

Why?

SAM

Well, sweetie. The best artists out there work better in silence. Do you think you could do that for me?

CHRISTINE

OK.

SAM

I love you, baby.

CHRISTINE

I love you.

Samantha shuts the door.

BOBBY

Good job.

Bobby grabs her by the hair and throws her back onto the bed where she was.

Brandon is looking at him.

BOBBY

What the fuck are you looking at, dick face?

BRANDON

You.

Bobby looks down at Meredith's body.

BOBBY

Look at this mess. Get this shit fuckin' cleaned up. This is your fuckin' mother lying here.

He aims the gun at them.

SAM

We don't have any towels or anything to clean with.

BOBBY

Get some fuckin' clothes on and use that blanket.

Samantha hesitates because Brandon's in the room.

BOBBY

What's the matter? You never changed in front of your brother before?

SAM

No.

BRANDON

It's OK, Sam. I'll turn my head.

Bobby aims the gun at Brandon.

BOBBY

Don't you fuckin' act like you never snuck a peek before.

BRANDON

You're sick.

Bobby cocks the gun.

BOBBY

Turn around, faggot, and stare at the prize.

SAM

It's OK, Brandon.

BOBBY

You're damn right, bitch. I make the fuckin' rules around here. Why? Because I'm the one with the fuckin' gun.

Samantha stands up, drops the blanket, and quickly throws on a white cami and pajama pants.

BOBBY

(To Brandon.)

That wasn't so bad it, was it? You liked it, didn't you?

Brandon doesn't answer him.

SAM

What do you want us to do?

BOBBY

I want you to take that blanket you had and wrap your mother's body up and stick her in the closet.

Samantha and Brandon grab the blanket and lay it out on the floor as they get down on the floor to clean up the mess.

BOBBY

What the fuck are you scared of? It's just your mother.

Samantha gets Meredith's body by the feet and Brandon gets a grip of her from the shoulder's.

BRANDON

OK, lift.

The two of them lift up the body and drop it onto the blanket.

Samantha breaks into tears.

BRANDON

It'll be OK.

BOBBY

(To Samantha.)

So quit actin' like a little bitch and stop cryin'.

They're about to start wrapping the body into the blanket, but Bobby makes them stop.

BOBBY

You guys are some ignorant fuckin' bastards. Give your mother a goddamn kiss before you get rid of her.

Samantha kisses her on the cheek.

Brandon scoots over and goes down to give her a kiss on the cheek also.

Bobby takes his foot and steps on the back of Brandon's head and smudges his face into his mother's face.

Bobby starts laughing.

Brandon comes back up with blood on his face.

Samantha and Brandon start wrapping up their mother's body in the blanket.

SAM

What exactly do they plan on doing to my father?

BOBBY

Oh, they just want to talk. Things might escalate depending on how Big Ben feels at the moment.

They finish wrapping her body up in the blanket.

BOBBY

Now stick her body in that closet over there and start scrubbing on this floor for the love of God.

CUT TO:

EXT. PARKER RESIDENCE - NIGHT

Kate is driving down the long drive through and slowly, but surely making her way to the house.

She's talking on her cell phone.

KATE

I'm on my way to Sam's house. I'm headed up her long ass drive way right now. Call me later, OK?

Kate hangs up the phone as she slowly comes to a stop in front of the house.

She turns off her car and steps out.

All of the lights in the house were off except for the two bedrooms Samantha, her father, and her brother were in.

Christine's bedroom was on the other side of the house.

KATE

(To herself.)

Are they sleeping?

Kate makes her way to the front door and knocks.

She stands there for a few seconds, but nobody is answering the door.

KATE

Come on, Samantha. What the hell are you doing?

Kate knocks on the door again.

She stands there for a few more seconds, but nobody answers the door.

KATE

Shit.

Kate makes her way back down to her car and opens up the driver's door.

She leans inside and starts beeping the horn.

Kate?!

SLIM

I got it.

Slim heads back out the bedroom door.

SAM

(To Bobby.)

Where's he going?

BOBBY

He's going to take care of our little friend out there.

NO!

Samantha tries to run for the bedroom door, but Bobby aims the gun at her.

Can I see her?

SLIM

Nope.

Slim keeps on walking closer to her, but Kate backs up.

KATE

Who are you?

SLIM

I'm the guy who's going to kill you tonight, dear.

Kate turns around to run, but Slim grabs her by the hair and throws her down to the ground.

KATE

No!

Kate fights back with Slim.

He stands her up and slams her down on the hood of her car and takes aim with his gun.

KATE

No! Please!

He shot her, Brandon.

He throws Kate's body inside and shuts the door behind him and heads about his business.

BOBBY

Got another blanket?

BRANDON

Do you actually think you guys are going to get away with this?

BOBBY

We haven't got caught yet. Well...not all of us.

BRANDON

What's that mean?

BOBBY

Ask your father.

INT. RICHARD'S BEDROOM

Ben and Slim are sitting back down on the edge of the bed with Richard still sitting on the floor.

BEN

So I bet you're wondering who the fuck we are and what they fuck we're doing here, right?

RICHARD

Yes.

BEN

You seriously have no idea who the fuck we are?

RICHARD

No!

Ben looks over to Slim and smiles.

BEN

Does the name Chester Williams mean anything to you?

RICHARD

No.

BEN

You're a fuckin' liar! I'll kill you on the spot if you're not honest with me, Richard.

RICHARD

...Yes, I know him.

BEN

Of course you do. Now why don't you tell me how you know him?

RICHARD

He murdered three families. Sixteen people.

BEN

I know that. I want you to tell me how you personally know him.

RICHARD

I was there.

BEN

Where?!

RICHARD

I was in the courtroom. I was the guy who helped put him away.

BEN

Exactly. That was the answer I was looking for.

RICHARD

He wasn't alone, was he? He had partners, didn't he?

BEN

Yeah, he did.

RICHARD

It was you.

BEN

You're definitely smarter than I thought you were.

INT. SAMANTHA'S BEDROOM

Samantha and Brandon are rolling up Kate's dead body in another blanket.

Bobby's sitting over at Samantha's computer and playing a computer solitaire.

Samantha starts whispering to Brandon.

SAM

We have to do something, Brandon. We can't just sit here.

BRANDON

I'm thinkin', Sam.

SAM

What do you think they're doing with dad in there?

BRANDON

I don't know, Sam. I'm tryin' not to think about it.

SAM

We can't let them get away with this, Brandon. We can't.

Bobby turns his attention towards the two of them.

BOBBY

What the hell are you two talking about over there?

SAM

Nothing.

Bobby stands up and makes his way over to Samantha's bed and sits down.

BOBBY

So, Samantha, what do you do in this big bed all by yourself?

Samantha and Brandon drop Kate's body in the closet.

SAM

I sleep.

BOBBY

That's not what you were doing in this bed earlier with Ben, is it?

SAM

Go to hell.

Bobby starts laughing.

INT. CHRISTINE'S BEDROOM

Christine is sitting down on the floor drawing a picture of a horse and some flowers.

INT. RICHARD'S BEDROOM

Richard is now tied up to a chair in the middle of the bedroom with a gag around his mouth.

He tries mumbling something.

Ben gets up off the bed and makes his way over to him and loosens up the gag.

BEN

What is it?

RICHARD

Please don't hurt my family. Leave them out of this.

BEN

Why should we? You fucked with my brother and got him death. I think it's only fair I do the same to you.

Ben puts the gag back into his mouth.

Richard starts struggling with the ropes to get loose.

RICHARD

What the fuck are you trying to get away for? This is where the fun really gets started.

Slim walks over to Ben and Richard with a hammer and nail in his hands.

BEN

(To Richard.)

I am really going to enjoy watch you bleed to death.

Slim starts smiling and gets down on his knees.

BEN

I'll hold him.

Ben holds Richard's leg so he can't move it.

Slim takes a nail and rests it on top of Richard's foot and with one quick bang he nails his foot to the wooden floor.

Richard's cries are muffled by the gag.

Slim moves over to the next leg and sticks another nail on his foot and bangs it inside.

Ben looks Richard in the face and laughs.

Slim then grabs Richard's hand and bangs a nail through the top of his hand and through the arm of the chair.

Richard's cries are still muffled.

SLIM

(To Ben.)

Do you want to do the honors on the last one?

BEN

Hand me that.

Slim hands Ben the hammer and nails.

Ben rests the last nail on the top of Richard's hand and with all his might he bangs the nail into his hand.

Richard screams can barely keep his head up as he screams and cries in pain.

Ben looks him in the face with he gun in his hand.

BEN

Look at me, pops.

Ben grabs the back of his head and holds it up.

BEN

Do you see this?

He holds the gun in front of Richard's face and then with one hard punch he knocks him out.

INT. SAMANTHA'S BEDROOM

Samantha and Brandon are standing up by the closet and Bobby's sitting on the bed.

SAM

I want to see my sister. I want to check on her.

BOBBY

Sorry. Not happening.

SAM

I want to see her.

Samantha and Bobby stare at one another.

SAM

(Aggressive.)

Now!

Bobby looks at her and smiles.

BOBBY

Let me ask you something.

He walks over to her and gets in her face.

SAM

What?

BOBBY

How fuckin' stupid do you think I am, you dumb bitch?

Brandon leaps out and wraps his arms around Bobby and the two of them fall to the floor.

Bobby is punched in the face.

SAM

Brandon, quick.

Brandon and Bobby are down on the ground rolling around and struggling with the gun.

A shot is fired.

Brandon rolls off Bobby in pain.

SAM

Shit.

Brandon had been shot in the arm.

Bobby stands up and kicks Brandon in the ribs.

Samantha gets down on the ground and helps Brandon stand back up.

BOBBY

Do you see what happens when you decide to fuck with me?

INT. RICHARD'S BEDROOM

Ben and Slim are standing there looking at Richard with smiles on their face.

BEN

I told you we were going to have fun watching you bleed to death.

Slim hands Ben pliers.

BEN

Now I'm not exactly sure how the electric chair works and what happens to you when those bolts are triggering through your body, but I have an idea.

Ben opens up Richard's mouth.

He sticks the pliers inside and gets a good grip on Richard's big tooth.

BEN

I'm almost pretty sure it's possible you might lose a tooth.

Ben yanks out his tooth.

Richard screams in pain as blood pours out his mouth.

BEN

Or two.

Ben rips out another tooth with the pliers.

Richard is can barely see straight from all the loss of blood.

He manages to lift up his middle finger to tell Ben to go screw himself.

BEN

That's not nice.

Ben quickly plies off Richard's finger.

He then reaches down to grab the finger and shoves it into Richard's mouth.

Richard starts gagging, but manages to get the finger out as it falls to his lap.

INT. SAMANTHA'S BEDROOM

Samantha is sitting on the bed and Brandon is sitting down on the floor.

Bobby is sitting back at the computer.

Samantha looks to Brandon and quickly tosses him a sharp nail file onto the floor.

Brandon grabs it and sticks it in his pocket.

Samantha turns her attention to Bobby.

SAM

Bobby, is it?

Bobby continues playing the computer game.

BOBBY

What?

SAM

This is a big bed. I have thought about doing some things in it.

Bobby turns his attention towards her.

BOBBY

What kind of things?

SAM

Why don't you come over here and let me show you?

BOBBY

(Grinning.)

I knew it. I knew you were a little slut when I first seen you.

Bobby makes his way over to Samantha and sits down on the bed next to her.

SAM

Do you know what I want you to do to me, Bobby?

BOBBY

What's that?

Samantha lies down on the bed.

SAM

I want you to fuck me. Don't you want to fuck me, Bobby?

Bobby licks his lips and looks to Brandon.

BOBBY

Take notes.

Bobby then turns his attention back to Samantha and slowly starts climbing on top of her.

He starts kissing on her neck.

Samantha starts to put on a fake moan.

SAM

Oh, yeah.

Brandon quickly jumps to his feet and stabs Bobby in the back of the neck with the nail file.

Bobby drops the gun and is about to scream in pain.

Brandon quickly rips the nail file out and covers up Bobby's mouth so he can't scream.

Samantha crawls off the bed.

Brandon whispers into Bobby's ear.

BRANDON

(Whispering.)

Watch this.

Brandon doesn't hesitate to take the nail file and quickly stab Bobby right in the eye.

Bobby drops to the floor.

Samantha and Bobby look at one another.

SAM

Now what?

BRANDON

I'm going to find dad. I want you to get Christine and get the fuck out of this house and get help.

SAM

I don't want to leave you. There's two more of them and you might need my help, Brandon.

BRANDON

Samantha, please. I don't want anything to happen to you or Christine.

SAM

I'm getting help and getting Christine out of here, but I'm coming straight back here for you, OK?

BRANDON

OK. Just go.

Samantha slowly opens the door and peeks out into the hallway to make sure nobody's there.

She then looks back to Brandon.

SAM

Don't do anything stupid. Make sure you get them alone. That way they can't gang up on you and take you out.

BRANDON

I know.

Samantha and Bobby quietly make their way out into the hallway.

A door can be heard opening up.

Samantha runs into the bathroom and Brandon hides in a hallway closet.

BRANDON

Bobby, let me out. I promised I wouldn't do anything if he just let me see my dad for a second.

BEN

Well, here he is. Why don't you come have a look?

Brandon takes a step forward and walks around to see that Richard had been nailed to the floor and chair.

He looked closely enough to see that he was missing a finger and a couple teeth.

BRANDON

(In tears.)

Dad?

Ben walks around and stands behind Richard.

BEN

Your dad did something really fucked up, Brandon. Do you know what happens when people fuck up with me?

BRANDON

What?

BEN

They die.

SAM

Come on.

Samantha grabs her by the hand and makes her way over to the bedroom window and opens it.

She peeks out it to see that there's no way she's getting the two of them down.

SAM

Damn.

Samantha looks around the room when she sees a closet.

She leads Christine over to it and opens up the door.

SAM

I want you to stay in here, OK. Just stay in here until I come back.

CHRISTINE

OK.

SAM

Get off me!

SAM

Oh, my God.

She runs over to him to make sure he's dead.

She looks at her father's lifeless body to see all the bad and horrible things they did.

It causes her to break into tears.

SAM

Oh, God, daddy.

Ben kicks open the bedroom door and stands there with a large axe in his hand.

BEN

There you are, you stupid little fuckin' bitch!

Samantha quickly gets up and runs over to the window, but Ben gets to her too fast.

He grabs her by the hair and throws her to the ground.

He brings the axe down, but Samantha quickly moves out the way causing him to miss and sink the axe in the floor.

Samantha takes her knife and sinks it into the back Ben's leg making him drop to the floor.

Samantha peeks out the closet to see that Ben hasn't come in after her yet.

She looks at her mother and Kate and starts to cry, but does it silently.

A noise of some sort can be heard inside the closet.

She turns her head around to see Brandon's body fall down and onto the floor.

SAM

Oh, God.

She looks at him and tears start streaming down from her light blue eyes.

SAM

Oh, fuck.

She peeks out the closet door to see Ben bust through the bedroom door.

He starts searching the room for her.

Samantha backs up in the corner.

BEN

Where are you, bitch?! You can't hide from me!

She's sitting for a few seconds in a moment of silence.

It's broken when Ben tries opening up the closet door, but she had locked it.

He knows she's inside.

Without anymore thought he starts breaking down the closet door.

The door falls apart.

She tries to open it, but it's jammed.

She turns around to see Ben charging at her with the knife held high in the air.

Ben goes crashing through, but manages to get a grip on the edge and holds on tight.

Samantha bends down and grabs the axe.

Ben looks up to see Samantha stands there with the axe in her hand.

SAM

Drop dead.

Samantha swings the axe as hard as she can and sinks it into the top of Ben's head.

She lets go of the axe and looks out the window and watches Ben fall all the way down.

He lands on top of Kate's car and the alarm starts going off.

Samantha turns around to see Bobby standing behind her with his eye gauged out.

He wasn't dead.

BOBBY

You fuckin' whore!

He grabs her by the throat and starts choking her.

Samantha falls to the ground.

Bobby has a tight grip around her neck and isn't about to let go anytime soon.

Samantha looks over to see her knife lying close.

She reaches out to grab it.

Bobby continues choking her as she struggles to reach for the kitchen knife.

BOBBY

I'll kill you.

Samantha can't reach the knife.

She reaches around Bobby's neck and grabs a hold of the nail file and twists it.

Bobby leans back and shouts in pain.

Samantha quickly grabs the knife and stabs Bobby straight up from under his chin.

He's definitely dead this time.

Samantha lies on the floor catching her breath when the sound of sirens can be heard from outside.

Good morning, Ms. Parker. Did you sleep well?

Samantha's a little out of it.

NURSE

What's wrong?

How long have I been here?

Samantha starts taking off her clothes when she has a flashback.

FLASHBACK - PARKER RESIDENCE - BATHROOM - EVENING

Ben reaches down and grabs her by the hair and tries to pull her out the tub.

SAM

(Terrified.)

No! Please!

Sam struggles with Ben and continues screaming and kicking.

Water splashed all over the place.

BACK TO PRESENT DAY

Samantha tries to block out the horrible image and steps into the bubble bath.

She lies in the tub with her eyes closed for a few seconds, but opens them up when she hears something.

It was the bathroom door opening and closing.

SAM

Mrs. Stokes?

Samantha opens the curtain up to see Ben standing there with the axe in his hand.

Samantha screams.

CUT TO:

INT. MERRITSVILLE PSYCHIATRIC WARD

Samantha wakes up in her bed screaming and whaling around, but she's been strapped down.

Doctors rush into the room and start doping her up and sticking needles in her.

Samantha continues screaming, but they soon die out and turn to a hysterical laugh.

FADE TO BLACK
