Freddy’s dead – Final Nightmare
JACOB You don’t understand. The Police can’t kill Freddy. They literally chopped each other to pieces and he’s still alive! Now I’m supposed to figure out how to get rid of him.
KAREN But I think I found the answer. Shut up for a second and look at these.
She starts showing him the scrawlings.
JACOB Okay, so he’s a bad artist.
KAREN No! You told me Krueger’s mother committed suicide and no one knows who his father was, right?
JACOB Yeah…
KAREN Freddy’s been pushing all our buttons with our pasts. These are HIS past. Don’t you get it? HE was a foster child, too!
She walks over to the bookshelf and grabs the picture of LITTLE FREDDY and FREDDY’S FOSTER FATHER.
KAREN (cont’d) Someone had to have taken care of him. This guy…he was Freddy’s father. Those drawings…they were Freddy’s childhood. This house…it’s where it all happened.
JACOB But in reality Freddy hasn’t lived here for decades.
KAREN Like you tried to tell me once before, this is a dream. Who knows why this is all here.
JACOB All evils from all times in history…
KAREN And isn’t this where it all started in Springwood? On Elm Street?
Jacob thinks for a second. It’s all starting to make sense.
JACOB But what does this do for us?
KAREN There’s got to be a way to use it against him.
JACOB Okay, but we’re not going to stand around here to figure out how. It’s too dangerous.
He grabs her hand and pulls her towards her door.
JACOB (cont’d) Let’s get out of this house.
They head out to
UPSTAIRS HALLWAY
And Blade Cop is standing in the middle of the corridor. The two teenagers stop.
JACOB (cont’d) Thank God. Freddy’s going to show up any minute.
KACHINK! A knife shoots out of Blade’s right hand, ready for action. (but wait a minute, her uniform isn’t ripped anymore…) Karen and Jacob make their way to the stairs. He turns to Blade.
JACOB (cont’d) Where are the others?
Blade walks up to him and stands there. Then JAMS HER KNIFE into JACOB’S GUT. Karen SCREAMS. Jacob chokes. Blade Cop shoves the knife in further until it juts out of Jacob’s back. She turns.
Then BECOMES FREDDY.
FREDDY Time to join your mommy.
Krueger yanks his finger blades out and Jacob’s limp body falls at Karen’s feet. Karen shrieks and cries, dropping to her knees to hold him.
KAREN No no no no no no no…Jacob…
He looks up at her, slowly dying. She strokes his forehead while Freddy laughs at the sentiment.
FREDDY Young love…ha!
JACOB Karen…dream…powers….
And Jacob is gone. Karen sobs, so torn apart that she is ignoring the incredible danger above her. But not for long.
Krueger grabs Karen by the neck.
FREDDY It’s past your bedtime, young lady.
And he starts to DRAG her, kicking and screaming, her body scraping across the floor towards the
MASTER BEDROOM
Freddy drags Karen in and TOSSES her across the room. She lands with a THUD on the bed. He saunters over to her and climbs up on the bed next to her. Gets on top.
Karen yells and hits him uselessly with her fists and it’s horrible because there he is, pressing down on her, right in her face, mounting her as if he’s going to rape her.
FREDDY (cont’d) Aw, sweetheart. This won’t hurt a bit.
She screams as he presses even harder.
FREDDY (cont’d) Come on. Be Daddy’s little girl.
And the last three words of that sentence seem to ECHO through the room, swirling around Karen. DADDY’S LITTLE GIRL. “Daddy’s little girl.” Karen twists her head away.
And Freddy’s become Karen’s FATHER. He looks down on her with a lecherous grin.
KAREN’S FATHER That’s my baby. That’s Daddy’s little girl.
Karen stops struggling. The realization grows on her face with the resurfacing memory.
KAREN Oh no…
KAREN’S FATHER (Freddy’s voice) Now do you remember?
She does. And she has an answer for him.
KAREN You’re NOT my father.
KAREN’S FATHER But we’re going to have the same fun!
Karen stares at him defiantly. And a HAND grabs Karen’s Father, and yanks him away. We PULL BACK.
KAREN’S MOTHER is next to the bed. Furious.
KAREN’S MOTHER That’s enough!
And she SLAPS Karen’s Father. He stands up, SLUGS her across the jaw. She tumbles back. Karen sits up.
KAREN Mommy, no!
Karen’s Mother gets up, a defiant look just like Karen’s on her face.
KAREN’S MOTHER You’re never going to touch her again!
KAREN’S FATHER I’ll touch what I want!
BAP! He strikes her again, sending her right out the door. He follows her. Karen stands up and runs after them.
IN THE HALLWAY
CRACK! The man hits the woman down to the floor. Karen’s mother stands up, just taking it. She’s at the top of the stairs. Karen’s Father swings his arm back, and Karen jumps on him. He shrugs her away violently.
WITH KAREN
as she hits the ground and the wall next to Jacob’s body. She looks up.
WIDER
And Karen’s Father is now FREDDY again. He swings his fist. SMACK!
Karen’s Mother reels from the hit, falls backwards. Karen jumps up to try and help her, reaching past Freddy. But it’s too late.
Karen’s Mother tumbles down the stairs, head hitting, bones cracking, disappearing into darkness.
Freddy grabs Karen by the neck and lifts her. DANGLES her over the top of the steps.
FREDDY Be honored, bitch. You’re the last soul I need.
And Jacob RISES UP behind Krueger. GRABS him. Freddy DROPS Karen. She hits hard and rolls down the steps as Freddy turns, his knives swinging out and SLAMMING Jacob’s gut one more time, IMPALING him against the wall. Jacob gasps out his final breath.
JACOB I’ll be back…
FREDDY I’ll be waiting.
Freddy pulls his blades out of Jacob and the wall. The boy’s body hits the floor for the last time. Freddy turns back to the stairs and looks down them.
FREDDY (cont’d) Where’s my little pumpkin?
He strolls down the steps.
DOWNSTAIRS HALLWAY
Freddy walks down and no one’s there. Karen’s Mom was just an illusion, but Karen herself, dead or alive, is nowhere to be seen.
FREDDY (cont’d) Play time is over, bitch.
He walks down the hallway. Eyes darting. Until a BOOMING VOICE is heard from the kitchen.
VOICE FREDERICK!
Freddy cocks his head and frowns.
VOICE (cont’d) Frederick! What have you done?
And, amazingly, a look of FEAR crosses Krueger’s face. Something about that voice has struck terror in the heart of the creature that fears nobody.
Krueger turns to the kitchen door. A man steps out of the shadows, a big muscular man with a horrifying look in his eyes. A man we’ve seen somewhere before – in a picture.
It’s FREDDY’S FOSTER FATHER – MR. UNDERWOOD. And he looks pissed beyond belief.
Freddy shrinks back, eyes widening.
FREDDY Daddy?
MR. UNDERWOOD Don’t you “Daddy” me!
