Freddy’s dead – Final Nightmare
Everyone backs off. Sound Cop opens his mouth. BOOM! An almost visible sound wave bursts forth from his lips and CRACK, a huge hole is punched in the wall.
The Police leap into the hole, quickly followed by Jacob.
INT. HOTEL ROOM
This one’s pretty normal. Maybe the business suite. And it’s EMPTY except for a heart-shaped box of candy in the middle of the bed. Jacob and the rest of the Police watch as Blade picks up the box and opens it. Dozens of COCKROACHES pour out onto the floor. Now Jacob’s really pissed.
JACOB You let him get away!
SOUND COP It’s difficult.
POWER COP He’s been at this longer than we have.
BLADE COP He can do anything.
SOUND COP But we have to catch him in the act to get him.
JACOB What…there are rules to all this?
SOUND COP They’re not rules.
POWER COP It’s just the way it is.
BLADE COP Jacob, we need you to bring the rest together.
JACOB The rest? You mean the kids at the home?
BLADE COP Yes. We need as many of you as we can get. And you must bring them to Springwood.
JACOB How?
BLADE COP You have the power to link your dreams with other’s. Dream of Springwood, then bring the rest with you.
SOUND COP Living souls are what he thrives on. Living souls are what we need to help stop him.
POWER COP Before it’s too late.
BLADE COP Before he takes everyone.
SOUND COP And every THING.
Jacob just shakes his head.
INT. LIMBO
All is BLACK. Except for Freddy and Gina. He has her from behind, his hands locked on her shoulders.
FREDDY Ah…alone at last.
Gina cries horribly like a person who knows death is seconds away. Freddy wraps his arms around her, hugging her.
And he KEEPS wrapping his arms. They STRETCH and elongate, wrapping once around his body and then around her’s again.
And then again. Freddy’s rubber limbs curl around and around an around Gina’s quivering body. Spiraling up and down. Encircling on all sides on every part of her, touching and grabbing her EVERYWHERE.
Until Krueger’s arms cover her entirely. Gina whimpers.
FREDDY (cont’d) Touching, isn’t it?
And he starts to SQUEEZE. Gina gags as Freddy’s snake-like embrace TIGHTENS around her, draining the life out of Gina’s body.
INT. JACOB’S BEDROOM – NIGHT
Jacob wakes with a start as the entire house around him shakes.
JACOB Gina!
Jacob jumps out of bed.
INT. FOSTER HOME – UPPER HALLWAY
Jacob dashes down the corridor. Karen comes out of her room.
KAREN Is it an earthquake?
JACOB No. It’s Freddy.
They run to Gina’s room and fling the door open.
INT. GINA’S BEDROOM
The RUMBLING of the house has stopped. Gina’s in bed, her tongue sticking grotesquely out from the corner of her mouth, her skin completely blue. Jacob and Karen run to her to try and help.
Gina’s already dead. But Freddy’s not quite done with her yet. Jacob and Karen watch as Gina’s chest CAVES IN. Karen SCREAMS.
EXT. FOSTER HOME – EARLY MORNING
The coroner’s back, the neighborhood gawks. Jacob, Karen and Scott sit on the front steps in a daze.
But this time there are police barricades up. In another part of the front yard we can see Mr. and Mrs. Ross with a social worker, MR. SILVERMAN. Mary Ross is crying while her husband David is having a heated argument with Silverman.
The kids watch on gloomily.
The social worker leaves as Mr. Ross walks over to the kids. Mary walks right by them and into the house – to broken up over something to talk.
DAVID Pack your bags, kids.
JACOB You’re kicking us out?
DAVID No. They’re taking you away. They say it’s for your own good.
KAREN They can’t do that.
DAVID Yes, they can. They consider Mary and I possibly unfit to act as foster parents. They’re going to find temporary homes for you until this mess is straightened out. I’m so very sorry.
Karen runs up to David and hugs him desperately. He holds her.
KAREN No, please.
DAVID They’re not calling it an accident this time. They don’t really know what to call it.
Karen lets go. Scott stands up.
SCOTT What’s going to happen to us?
DAVID You’ll be alright.
KAREN What’s going to happen to you?
DAVID I don’t know. They’re thinking of pressing charges.
JACOB Aw, Jesus…
DAVID Come on. A car from juvenile hall will be here in an hour.
He leads them up the stairs.
EXT. JUVENILE HALL – DAY
A sign reads: ROSEDALE YOUTH CENTER.
INT. OFFICE – DAY
Mr. Silverman, the social worker, is talking to the teenagers. Karen and Scott look understandably worried. Jacob looks like the world just ended for him.
MR. SILVERMAN I’m sure most of you know how this works already. You’ll be assigned new foster homes tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow morning the police will be talking to you regarding the matter at the old house.
KAREN What about it?
MR. SILVERMAN Anything you know.
SCOTT Are we considered suspects?
MR. SILVERMAN You’ll talk to the police about that. Don’t worry. We’ll all try and work this out.
KAREN Will we be able to go back to the Ross’s?
MR. SILVERMAN I don’t know. You’ll have a place to stay in the mean time.
KAREN Will we be together?
MR. SILVERMAN No. We don’t have anybody willing to take more than one person. I’m afraid you’ll be split up.
SCOTT Great…
MR. SILVERMAN Hey, you can visit each other. You’ll be in the same town.
JACOB If it’s still here.
Silverman frowns at that last comment as the kids get up to leave.
INT. JUVENILE HALL CORRIDOR
The teenagers walk glumly out of the office. Jacob is still strangely silent, not making eye contact with anyone.
KAREN Jacob, what are we going to do?
JACOB Nothing.
KAREN What do you mean, nothing?
JACOB It’s over. We’re finished. He’s won.
Jacob walks on ahead of them. Karen is flabbergasted. She stops and just stands there with Scott. The two of them watching Jacob walk away.
SCOTT Looks like your hero just gave up.
And Karen still can’t believe it.
