Scream (2015) s02e12 Episode Script

When a Stranger Calls

1 Previously on "Scream".
I think Brandon James might be back.
I think I may have a way to tell if he's really back.
Look in the background.
That's Eli.
What was Eli doing at Will's funeral? These are just like the pictures I saw out at the farm.
You realize that if Eli had these letters then he's the killer.
- Maybe he's using the pig farm as a hideout.
- I'm dedicating this installment of The Morgue to Zoe Vaughn.
- What the heck? Stop - EMMA: No matter where I ran, they followed me Their voices MIGUEL: This playing from that Noah kid's podcast? Okay, I'm here! - (SCREAMING) - EMMA: Mr.
Maddox! MAGGIE: Emma and Audrey are on their way to the James farm, and Emma won't answer my calls.
(SIRENS BLARING) We didn't do it! - You're arresting her? - Emma! (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING) Me and you! It never gets old.
We didn't do this.
Are you listening to me? - Whoa, hey! Look out! - Watch out! Man in the road! (TIRES SQUEALING) (BOTH GROAN) (COUGHS) (GROANING, COUGHING) - (GRUNTS) - (SCREAMS) (GROANS) (SCREAMS) - Wait, where'd he go? - I don't know.
I don't know.
- Do you see him? - No.
(SCREAMING) Those are the keys to the handcuffs.
Come on.
- Are you clear? - Yeah.
Okay, come on.
Come on, come on, come on.
He's still out there.
Emma! What? Scream S02E12 When a Stranger Calls LANG: It's called " folie a deux," or "the madness of two.
" It's a psychological syndrome, in which one deranged person transmits a delusion to another, creating a shared psychosis that's stronger than one could've developed alone.
The second person can help push the first over the edge, and that can result in a psychotic break.
So, you really think Emma and Audrey could be suffering from this madness of two? Seeing the news and the videos they posted online, it suddenly all made sense.
I believe they can't move past their trauma, so they just keep replaying it.
They may not even be aware of what they're doing.
I'm gonna ask him if we can use their landline.
(MAN SPEAKING ON TV) (DOOR DINGS) (PHONE RINGS) Pep 'N Zip, how can I help you? Sorry, what? Uh, let me, uh (CHUCKLES) This is gonna sound weird, but are either of you Emma? That's me.
Here, it's for you.
- Hello? - DISTORTED VOICE: Oh, you must feel like a star.
- Everybody wants a piece of you.
- Look outside.
Look.
I know you let us out of there for a reason.
I want to keep playing.
So, if you turn yourselves in, or even get caught, I'm gonna gut someone you love.
Better start running.
He followed us here.
I didn't see anyone outside.
MAN ON TV: This just in.
Local teenagers Emma Duvall and Audrey Jensen are wanted for questioning in conjunction with the mayor's murder.
- Citizens are advised - Come on, let's go.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) - Oh, so you knock now? - I didn't want to surprise you.
Yeah, I might've stabbed you.
I heard about your dad.
I'm really sorry.
Where were you last night? Why didn't you answer any of my texts? I just couldn't go home, and then my phone died.
That's pretty terrible timing, huh? Listen, did you see that stuff that got uploaded on The Morgue? Yeah I couldn't avoid it.
Audrey looks pretty bad.
(SIGHS) Look, Stavo, Emma and Audrey did not kill my dad, or Jake, or anybody else.
Did you really watch it? The one with Jake's body? - 'Cause that was really twisted.
- I do not need this from you right now, okay? Audrey was quick to point a finger at me.
Maybe this is why.
(SCOFFS) You're so wrong.
Am I? How? How can you be so sure? Sometimes, the people closest to you are the ones who keep the biggest secrets.
- I think you should just go.
- Brooke, come on! Just go! Okay.
(FAINT POLICE RADIO CHATTER) We need a home base.
The theater.
We can figure out our next move there.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
I'm gonna sneak around back.
Take the gun.
You stay here and keep watch.
Hold on! Shouldn't we ditch this? - No, not yet.
- What? Thank God, Emma! - It was horrible.
- I thought that psycho had you.
I thought maybe you - Where's Audrey? - She's outside.
She's fine.
- So, what happened? - (SIGHS) He killed the deputy, and then and then he set us free, and then he called and he threatened and he said that if we get caught, he's gonna kill somebody else.
- So, what are we gonna do? - I don't know.
We have to think of a plan.
Have you seen Eli lately? No, Tina's packed and gone, and Eli never came back last night.
Oh, my God Okay, we're thinking about hiding out in the movie theater.
I gotta go.
The cops are everywhere.
Hey, I'll meet you there.
We'll figure this out.
- Okay.
- Okay? (DOOR CLOSES) - EMMA: I'm so sorry.
- KIERAN: You don't have to apologize.
(BOTH SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY) - AUDREY: Right now, come on! - EMMA: We need to help each other, right? KIERAN: Right.
- What the hell, Eli? - Don't "what the hell" me.
What did you say to the cops? I just came from the station.
They questioned me for, like, three hours.
Yeah, I told them the truth.
I think you're obsessed with Emma.
- And I think they should check you out.
- That's funny.
Also, found out you were in town last year, in October.
- Why didn't you tell me? - I figured you were busy.
Just heard Lakewood was nice in the fall.
Thought I'd pay a visit.
Hey, just stay away from Emma.
Look, I'm not scared of you, okay? And I'm gonna do whatever I want.
Try and stop me.
(SIREN BLARING FAINTLY) (WHISPERS) Come on.
MAN: I know it's just a matter of time I know it's just a state of mind Please be there.
Please be there.
Bingo! Locked myself out once, stashed a spare just in case.
Wait, are you sure that there's nobody in there? Yeah.
There's no matinee.
- The place is empty till five.
- Okay.
MAN: Local teenagers Emma Duvall and Audrey Jensen - are wanted for questioning - Brooke in conjunction with the mayor's m Your dad I'm so sorry.
Yeah.
It's just been so much, you know? I know I don't have to tell you that.
He wasn't always the best dad, but he was there, you know? This morning, I I went into the kitchen to get some juice, and I just realized I mean, he always made me juice.
I'm just really gonna miss him.
And now, Emma and Audrey - You know it's not them, right? - Of course.
Look We're in this together.
(PHONE RINGING) Uh, hello? Hey, Noah, it's me.
Emma! You guys are about to hit "Ten Most Wanted" territory if you don't watch out.
What-What happened? It was terrible.
Hey, look, have you have you talked to Brooke? Uh, she's right here.
(CLEARS THROAT) Hey.
Hey.
I I'm so sorry about your dad.
Brooke, you have to believe us.
We didn't We didn't do what they're saying we did.
By the time we got there, it was too late.
I know you didn't kill him, Emma.
You couldn't.
(SIGHS) Where are you guys? - We're at the movie theater.
- We'll be right there.
No.
Hey, no! Stay where you are, okay? Stay where you are, and and we'll call you back when we have a plan.
They're at the theater.
They want us to stay here.
And let them go through all this alone? Hell no.
Okay.
(GRUNTS) Okay.
Okay, let's go.
- Actually, I'm gonna need some pants.
- Yeah, mm-hmm.
You don't actually believe that they uncuffed themselves and killed a deputy with their bare hands? I get this isn't easy.
My daughter could be kidnapped, or worse, and you're searching my house? - It's pretty obvious that she's not here! - I know that it's hard to suspect someone that you love.
I don't suspect her! You do! Has she ever told you about her nightmares? How-How do you know about those? We found a journal last night, Emma's handwriting.
She wrote about the barn where we found the mayor.
She wrote about killing her friends.
Maybe she doesn't even know it's real.
Those are just dreams.
Emma is not a murderer! Right now, she's the best lead that I've got.
Oh, my God - Noah - Hey, Audrey Hey.
Oh, God.
You look terrible.
Let's get you cleaned up.
NOAH: Yeah.
- Hey.
- Hey, Noah.
- You doing good, Noah? - Yeah.
As good as can be expected, given the whole "killer on the loose" of it all.
Hey.
We're gonna get through this together.
(RINGTONE PLAYING) It's him.
(SIGHS, CLEARS THROAT) What do you want? DISTORTED VOICE: Mm, if it isn't daddy's little girl.
I'm the one you should be talking to, you bastard.
So, the gang's all there.
What's the occasion? Another funeral? Wow, you think you're really funny, don't you? You're a coward, running around in the dark, hiding behind a mask.
Careful, Emma.
You don't want to see my face.
I'm at the movie theater.
If you want me, come and get me.
Emma! Are you sure that was a good idea? I'm done running.
You know half of those are fake, right? Yeah, well, the other half are real.
MAN: You're the only one that can calm me down My head spins in circles so I'm dizzy now Oh, what? All of this time, I should've figured it out EMMA: We need to guard the doors and stay in touch.
- Here, take my phone.
- Thanks.
Free animal, free animal My heart pitter-patters You guys know that you don't have to stay, right? - This is on me.
- You're the only one that can calm me down - Free animal, free animal - We're with you.
You're the only one that can calm me down (SIGHS) So here we are.
Here we are.
All of us holed up together in one room trying to trap the killer I mean I think this is it.
I think this is the big finale.
Noah, please don't go all meta on me right now.
- I need you guarding this door with me.
- I'm just saying, if this were a movie, we'd be at the unmasking stage.
Well, if it's you, I will defend myself with this little hook thing.
You know it's not me.
Of course, that's what the killer would say.
(CHUCKLES) Okay, I'm sorry.
It's It's not me.
It's really not me.
Nothing.
What if he doesn't show? He likes to pull the strings, not dangle from them.
He's gonna show.
Okay.
(PHONE RINGS) Hey, is everything okay? Just checking in.
How's it going back there? - It's quiet.
- Same here.
It's been a while, though.
Maybe he's not coming.
No, no.
That is exactly what he wants us to think.
He wants us to let our guard down.
I'm not gonna let that happen.
Me either.
I'm right there with you, no matter what.
Okay.
Okay, if-if Piper had an accomplice, maybe that accomplice found another accomplice.
Maybe there are two killers again, working together.
That really opens up the possibilities, if you think about it.
- Noah, that's not comforting.
- I'm just saying, I think we should just be prepared for anything.
(BANGING) Are you just gonna stare at me, or are you gonna let me in? And why do you have a hook? What are you doing here? Seriously? You asked me to come.
- Wait, you did? - No, I did not.
Really? Then what the hell is this? I I-I didn't send that.
I did not send that text.
- Will you just let me in? - Don't let him in.
Dude, what? We're trying to lure the killer and you show up.
I'm sorry.
This is a pretty classic "don't let him in" situation, right? Are you buying this? (GIRL SCREAMING) What the hell? - Where'd that come from? - It's coming from inside the auditorium.
Hey, wait.
Hang on.
Somebody has to stay here and watch the door.
I'm gonna go check it out.
Okay? - Okay.
- I'll be right back.
Why-Why-Why would you say that? Great.
(GIRL SCREAMING) - Oh, my God.
- What is this? Who put this on? You guys, this isn't a movie.
This is real.
- (SCREAMING) - It's coming from the projection room.
- There must be somebody up there.
- How did they get in? - I don't know.
- (SCREAMING CONTINUES) - Where's Audrey? - She's She's in the back.
She's guarding the door.
She shouldn't be alone, not if he's in here with us.
You wait here, together.
I'm gonna get Audrey.
Oh, God.
(SCREAMING) I can't even Just something make it stop.
Help me! Okay.
Okay, I'm gonna go turn it off.
- You guys stay here.
- Okay.
(SCREAMING CONTINUES FAINTLY) What? What? (BREATHING HEAVILY) Noah? I'm here, in the dark, not alone.
Emma will be right back.
Kieran and Audrey are safe.
Everything's okay.
Stavo showing up is just a fluke.
And Eli I'm sure he's just misunderstood.
- (CREAKING) Wait, what? - Shh! Listen.
- (SCREAMS) - NOAH: No, no! Brooke! Brooke! No! Call the police, now! - Emma, wait! - Oh, God Brooke, just stay with us.
It's okay, Brooke.
- You're gonna be okay.
- (SIREN BLARING FAINTLY) - Oh, my God.
Did you call an ambulance? - It's on its way.
The police are on their way, too.
You have to go.
- I am not leaving Brooke.
- (SIREN BLARING FAINTLY) - Did you find Audrey? - No.
She's not in the back room.
- Wait, where'd she go? - I don't know.
The door was open.
Maybe she left already.
Emma, you need to leave.
- (MAN BANGING ON DOOR) - Sheriff's Department! Open up! It's the police.
- We have to let them in.
- Open up! Emma, go.
Go now.
It's okay, Emma.
Go.
Okay, okay.
I'm gonna see you later.
NOAH: She's in there.
WOMAN: Single stab wound.
Looks like internal hemorrhaging.
- You're gonna be okay, Brooke.
You're almost there.
- Sorry, hun.
That's as far as you can go.
(RINGTONE PLAYING) Emma, we're at the hospital.
Hey.
How is she doing? They're saying it's critical.
She's gone into surgery.
Oh, my God! Have you heard from Audrey? No.
No, I haven't heard anything.
I really screwed up, Kieran.
I never should've told him where we were.
We couldn't have known it would go down like that.
Yeah, I I just didn't think.
I didn't think and I put everybody in danger.
(VOICE BREAKING) And now, Brooke and Audrey - Emma - I don't know what to do anymore.
I mean Should I turn myself in to the police? I don't know.
He told me that he would kill somebody if I do that.
Listen, it's not your fault.
None of it, okay? Just hold on.
Okay.
Okay.
Hey.
(CLEARS THROAT) I heard Brooke's hurt.
Is she okay? Brooke's a survivor.
She's tough.
Uh, last year, she was trapped in a freezer and stabbed, so This surgery's gonna be a cakewalk.
I should've stayed, gotten in somehow.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) Um, you know, maybe this isn't the best time, but - But what? - It's not Emma and Audrey.
There's no way I'm not gonna comment on a case, but if you know where they are, tell me now.
Because, off the record, there's a lot of evidence.
Yeah, see, that's just the thing.
There's too much evidence.
- But you already knew that.
- Everything points their way, but who else could it be? - Can I see your phone, please? - Are you kidding me? I need to show you something another suspect.
Thank you.
Okay look.
- What is this? - Eli was in Lakewood last October, during the murders, at the funeral of a victim he didn't even know.
Maybe he was there to view his own handiwork.
Maybe he knew Piper.
(FAINT POLICE RADIO CHATTER) (PHONE DINGS) (BIRD WINGS FLUTTERING) (PHONE RINGS) Hey.
What's going on? I got your text.
- He's got Audrey.
- Jesus.
Where are you? I can't tell you that.
I'm not gonna let anyone else die because of me.
Whatever you're doing, you don't have to do it alone.
No, I do.
I'm sorry, I do.
(PHONE BEEPS) This ends now with me.
I love you.
Wait, Emma! I love you, too.
I've been waiting a long time for this.
I can almost taste it.
Then why are you hiding? I'm not hiding.
I'm savoring the final destruction of you, Emma Duvall, and all you love.
Why did you bring me here? This is where Piper grew up.
This place forged her.
Did you love Piper? Is that what this is about? Love (SCOFFS) To kill with someone, now that's a real bond, isn't it? You know.
You killed with Audrey.
What did that feel like? We had no choice.
We had to kill her.
You thought killing her made you safe? You'll never feel safe again, Emma.
Never! Audrey? Audrey, can you hear me? (SCREAMS) Oh, my God, Oh, my God! Audrey! Hey, hey! Audrey! Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Hey.
Hey, stay with me.
Emma! - Emma! - Kieran! Wait.
What are you doing here? I got Noah to ping his phone, and we saw you were out here.
I got here as fast as I could.
You're cut! - Are you okay? - (STAMMERING) No, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Audrey she's-she's drugged, or passed out, or something.
I don't know.
We gotta get her out of here.
Hurry.
Hey.
Eli Eli, what happened? I followed Kieran from the hospital, and the second I got in the building, he comes behind me and stabs me! So, I played dead and called the police and told them it was Kieran.
What? I didn't stab you.
- Hey, stop! Stay back! - Emma, I could've run away! Okay? And I heard your voice and I came to help you! Do not listen to this! He probably stabbed himself! - You think this is me? - I don't know what to think.
Tell me Tell me why you were in Lakewood last October.
It was because of Kieran! Okay? Listen to this.
He just twists everything! No, you remember that girl in Atlanta that had the restraining order against me? That was Kieran's fault.
He liked her, too, and he lied to her mom! Sa-Said I was posting naked pictures of her online, or something! - Because you were! - No, you were! That's why I was in Lakewood to get back at him! And that's why I was at the funeral.
And then, I saw all you guys and I-I couldn't do it! I don't know! That's the truth! That's all there is! He's working you.
He was obsessed with that girl and he's obsessed with you.
He's the killer! Son of a Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Emma Oh, my God.
Oh, my God! He was gonna stab you! I know, I know.
It's okay, it's okay.
- It's over.
- Mm-hmm.
- It's over.
- AUDREY: Where Where am I? Audrey! Audrey Hey.
What's happening? It's over.
I think it's over.
We're calling the police.
You will feel safe again, Emma.
You too, Audrey.
- What did you just say? - We're calling the police.
No.
No, not that.
What? Before that you just said I will feel safe again? He said something just like that on the phone.
- What? - The killer.
The killer said, "You will never feel safe again.
" (GASPS) Oh, my God Oh, my God, it's you.
No No, Kieran Tell me that I'm wrong.
(BREATHING HEAVILY) AUDREY: Kieran? (SIGHS DEEPLY) You're not wrong.
Emma! You know he probably really liked you.
You're a monster.
And the best part is you just told me you love me.
(CHAINS CLANGING) I did.
Not now.
Oh.
Okay.
Tell me, so you and Piper You're what? We were together before you and I even met.
All it took was your mother throwing Piper out like trash and my dad dumping me in Atlanta so he could party on pain pills.
It made me and Piper sick to see them together.
Okay! Okay, so all of this For you, all of this is all about some messed up daddy issues? - Really? - You're right.
I should've definitely seen someone about that.
But Piper showed me that killing people is way more fun than therapy.
So I made the sheriff and the medical examiner look like idiots.
We tortured them with a killing spree they could not stop! And the last kills was gonna be my dad, and then you, and then your mother.
You were Piper's last surprise.
Surprise! Your boyfriend is banging your crazy half-sister, and we're both about to kill you! And then, I showed up with a gun! Yes.
And you killed my Piper.
Yes.
Which is why I tortured you, too.
It's gonna look like you lured me here as the last victim, except I turned the tables on you and killed you both! Stopped the rampage! I'll be the new hero.
No one is gonna believe you, you psychopath! That'll be for me to worry about.
- You'll be dead.
- I don't think so! - Run, Emma! Get out of here! Go! - (GRUNTS) Hey! If you let me get away, all of this will have been for nothing! No! Emma! Emma, you're not gonna win this! - I've got Audrey! - (GRUNTS) You can make her death easy or hard! You know, she's probably already gone! You already lost, Emma.
Don't give him what he wants! Get out of here! Don't think I won't end you right now! I'm done with you! You're trash.
Looks like you're gonna need her until you find me.
Stop being stupid, Emma! If you go, at least one of us lives! (GRUNTING) Emma (GRUNTS) Emma How does it feel to be helpless? How does it feel to be hunted? Wondering when it's gonna end? (GRUNTS) (GROANS) Okay So, how are we gonna end this game? Shoot him.
Shoot him, Emma! He deserves it! Yeah, come on! (GRUNTS) You're a killer.
Shoot me! Do it! (GRUNTS) I get to choose how you're gonna die.
And you're not.
Not today.
You're gonna rot in prison because you lost at your own sick game.
(BANGING ON DOOR) MIGUEL: Sheriff's Department! WOMAN: Easy on the eyes Truth is like a loaded gun You don't want to point that thing around here Make all of your skeletons appear This is real life And you've been living fictional I don't want to hurt your heart, my dear But if I gotta cut you, oh, I will 'Cause I've given you Damn near every chance to make it possible Have it all, but all you do is build a wall of fears And drown us in your tears But I pray for ya Pray for ya I pray I pray, yeah When all this pain is gone When all this blood has run When my heart's an empty gun I pray NOAH: Well, it's official.
Three months later, NOAH: and Lakewood has survived another mass murderer.
It turns out Piper did have an accomplice.
Go figure! I was right all along.
But none of us saw this killer coming, and believe me, it cuts deep.
After a betrayal like that, can you ever really learn to trust again? MIGUEL: Well, I have to admit I did watch a couple episodes.
STAVO: Yeah, he watched five episodes.
At which point, he Maybe the best way to move forward is to put it all behind us, if we can.
Brandon James, Piper Shaw, Kieran Wilcox all wanted revenge, and maybe that's the end of the chain.
Thanks.
- Magic mix? - Absolutely.
Maybe this was the last dangling thread.
Maybe there are no more to pull.
Maybe things really are back to normal.
Your lawyer's calling.
Why? Or maybe, Lakewood, you'll always be Murderville.
Only time will tell.
DISTORTED VOICE: Hello, Kieran.
Who told you you could wear my mask?
