INT. OUTSIDE CABIN - EARLY EVENING
Evelyn lies on bed, a look on her face like Carl's at
previous scene's end. There's the sound of a boat's
motor. Dazed, she gets up and looks out the window.
She can't see anything, so she goes out the door.
EXT. OUTSIDE CABIN - CONT.
She walks a little bit to the dock, which is almost
right next to the cabin. She looks confused.
EVELYN
Hello?
She sees the boat, docking next to another one. Mr.
Hood is revealed upright, smiling madly at her.
Reaction shot of Evelyn. He then slumps forward, and
Carl is revealed behind him, trying to move him to the
back of the boat. She looks shocked.
CARL
Shit.
EVELYN
Oh, God. Is he...?
CARL
Yes, Evelyn. Dead. Like ice.
EVELYN
I... I thought you were going to
dump his body in the lake.
CARL
He pulled a gun on me. I had to
knife him instead. (beat) He was
trying to fucking kill me.
EVELYN
(looking worse)
Oh God, what are we going to do?
CARL
(stares at other boat)
That boat there, does she work?
EVELYN
(thinking)
It did the last time we were here.
CARL
(pause, also thinking)
He went out by himself, got real
drunk. He lights a cigar, then in
a drunken stumble knocks over the
Jack Daniels bottle. He passes
out, and the cigar lights up the
Jack, starts a fire. Now he's so
fucked up, he forgets to turn off
the motor. It lights up and blows
up. You hear the noise, rush out,
and see everything blown to bits.
You pass out, then wake up the
next day to let the police know
what happened.
EVELYN
This is crazy. They'll never
believe it. You think they won't
suspect anything?
CARL
Not for a while.
EVELYN
What about you? You think they
won't suspect you?
CARL
They don't know about me. They
don't even know I exist. I can
hide out in a dip for a while.
The help will cover for you. You
pay the bills, so they won't rat.
EVELYN
Carl, this is insane. You want me
to blackmail Lilian and Mr.
Nicholas now?
CARL
If you have to. We have no
choice. (beat) We need to buy
time. Give them some extra money
to go on vacation. Then, while
the police are investigating,
liquidate all you can. Do you
like beaches?
EVELYN
(pause, smiles)
I love the beach.
CARL
(smiles)
Me too. I remember I always
wanted to live on one. We can
skip the country and hide out on
one forever. Just you, me, and
Sigmund.
They smile and hold hands. He nods at the dead Mr.
Hood.
CARL
Let's get rid of this bag.
They look at him, and Evelyn begins to shake.
EXT. SECOND MOTOR BOAT - EARLY EVENING
Montage of shots, first at dock, as Carl pulls the
motor's cord. After a few pulls, it starts. They pull
the other boat, with the dead Mr. Hood, out to the
middle of the lake.
EXT. MIDDLE OF LAKE - EARLY EVENING
The boat Mr. Hood is in is running. Carl pours whiskey
all over the boat and Mr. Hood. He smiles and drops
the empty bottle in the boat. He lights a match, and
turns to Evelyn.
CARL
Let's go.
He throws the match on the other boat, and it begins to
light up. He smiles, and there's the sound of their
motor conking out. They turn to each other. He
quickly pulls the string a couple of times as the fire
blazes next to them.
CARL
Shit. It's not starting.
He pulls it again frantically, as the fire blazes on.
EVELYN
Start it!
CARL
I'm trying!
He keeps pulling it again and again, as he begins to
sweat. Evelyn looks very sick, and grabs the string,
pulling with him.
EVELYN
Oh God. Oh God.
CARL
Shut up!
As he says this, the motor starts. Immediately, they
move the boat away. As soon as they get a decent
amount away, there's a shot of the other boat blowing
to bits. They get knocked down, but are okay. After a
few seconds, they look at each other and smile,
caressing each other.
INT. CABIN - NIGHT
This is a lovemaking scene in the cabin. They are both
naked as she soothingly wets his gunshot foot with a
hot rag. It stings, but in a good way. She begins
kissing his feet, licking them. She works her way up,
reaching his groin area, then climbing on top of him.
They kiss, then begin licking each other's face. He
begins licking her breast, sucking it. They then move
into a 69 position and make love, ending in an orgasm.
INT. MASSAGE PARLOR'S ENTRANCE - ?
There's a sound of dripping water. It is a steamy
room, fogged and lightly lit, looking very sensuous. A
sign says EVELYN'S HOLISTIC MASSAGE PARLOR. Carl walks
in, looking nervous. Evelyn walks up to him, wearing
lingerie. She smiles, staring him up and down.
EVELYN
What's you're interest?
CARL
I... I need to be rubbed.
Dripping sound again. She makes a sexy smile.
EVELYN
I have just the girl. Janet. She
LOVES to rub. Has lots of
regulars. Some of them are the
guys on the wall.
Shot of wall reveals pictures of smiling old and middle
aged MEN on it. Dripping sound is heard.
EVELYN
It's a hundred fifty an hour, but
it's the best hundred fifty you'll
ever spend.
She smiles. He looks at her, then hands over the
money. Their hands touch as he does so.
INT. MASSAGE ROOM - ?
Carl lies naked on a massage table, face down, in
another steamy room. After a few moments, Janet walks
in, all wet and wearing a string bikini.
JANET
Hi. I'm Janet. I'll be serving
you tonight.
She strips off the bikini, revealing her tanned,
perfect body. She gets on top of him and kneads his
flesh. She squirts body oil on him, and soothes it in.
She drops her head down and licks his back, starting
from the base of the spine and moving up. Carl looks in
ecstacy.
JANET
(softly)
Turn around.
He does, and she squirts loads of oil on his chest.
She rubs it in, then begins tonguing his nipples. She
moves down. Unseen on camera, she wraps her hands
around his penis, giving him a sluttish look. She
bends over to it. Sound of sucking as there is a
behind the head view of her sucking it. Carl looks in
heaven. Then, after a few seconds, there is a loud
crunching sound, like Mr. Hood chomping on bacon. His
face turns to shock, as he turns, smiling and laughing,
the torn off penis in her mouth. She spits it out, and
stares at him, bloody teeth revealed to be vampire
fangs. Background horror music plays as loud
mechanical sounds are heard, as the floor beneath the
table begins to open downward, a hellish blaze coming
from below. It is a fiery abyss, the table lying high
above as an altar. Carl looks shocked as Janet kicks
him off the table.
INT. HELL PIT - CONT.
He lands below. Bloody disemboweled bodies lay
everywhere, heads chopped off, skeletons and skulls
disheveled haphazardly. All the women from Evelyn's
work are there. Carla and Judy wear little girlish
negligee's as they feed each other human flesh, a teddy
bear in the background. Betty and Wendy, wearing cat
ears and having tails, french kiss as they massage each
others breasts, blood covering their bodies. Dead
men's heads lie on ground, those of male customers in
the reception room photos. A woman, wearing a hockey
mask on face, enters. She wields a chainsaw and wears
an all leather combo of bra, bikini bottom, and spiked
heeled boots. She pulls the chainsaw string, and it
starts. She takes off the mask, and it is Evelyn,
smiling with evil, then puts it back on. She lungs to
Carl, and he screams.
INT. CABIN - NIGHT
He jumps in the bed, screaming.
CARL
Oh GOD! I'm dead! I'm fucking
DEAD!
He looks around, sees he's lying in the cabin bed
alone. There is the sound of running water coming from
the bathroom. He breathes deep, covered in sweat.
EVELYN
(o-s, from bathroom)
Carl, are you okay?
CARL
Yeah, fine. (beat, calming) You
okay?
EVELYN
(o-s)
Just washing up. You have a bad
dream?
CARL
Yeah. I'd rather not talk about
it.
EVELYN
(o-s)
Tell me. I want to know.
CARL
Well, I was...
He stops and looks down in shock, seeing his bed sheets
are bloodied at loin area. Evelyn comes out of the
bathroom, laughing and smiling madly as she holds a
castrated penis in her hand. He screams loudly.
INT. CABIN - NIGHT
He jumps in bed again, screaming, Evelyn next to him.
CARL
OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD!!!
She awakes and grabs him, shaking him.
EVELYN
It's okay. It's okay.
She hugs and kisses him as he breathes deeply, eyes
open wide. He looks as though he's thinking hard.
CARL
Oh God. Oh God. (beat) I'm
beginning to know who I am.
EVELYN
(surprised)
Who? Who are you?
CARL
It's in the back of my mind. I
feel it coming up. (pause, stares
at her) I have to find out. Now.
She looks at him seriously, then nods her head.
INT. CABIN - MINUTE'S LATER
Shot is of the bizarre statue, the pulls back, and Carl
is revealed, lying on bed, relaxed and eyes closed,
Evelyn next to him.
EVELYN
What do you see?
CARL
(pause)
I'm at the plate, staring at my
lady. She smiles at me. I smile
back. (beat) I take a few
practice swings, then I step to
the plate. (beat) The pitch
comes. I see it in slow motion.
(beat) And I, I... Wait.
The shot gets darker. A look of confusion appears on
Carl's face.
CARL
(surprise in voice)
Wait a minute.
(fear in voice)
Oh God. Oh God!
EVELYN
What?
CARL
Oh God!
CUT TO:
INT. CARL'S MIND - CONT.
Shot of Carl, dressed like the Shaman Killer, swinging
bat like ball player in slo-mo. A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN is
revealed, being hit in the head in slo-mo with the bat.
Cut to him, in baseball uniform, preparing to hit again
in slo-mo. Re-cut to him again hitting her in the
head, blood spurting as he does in slo-mo. Re-cut of
him swinging in slo-mo in baseball uniform, then a slo-
mo intercut of him swinging, both as ballplayer and
killer. A loud sound of a bat cracking against ball is
heard, accompanied by the woman being thumped again in
the head in slo-mo, and a bloody tooth flies out of her
mouth. Sound of baseball fans screaming. Both Carl's
look happily in slo-mo to the sky, as the ball flies
over the fence for a home run. Both Carl's toss the
bat. As the ball should land in the stands, slo-mo of
her falling to the ground, no sign of life in her eyes.
CARL
(v.o.)
Oh God!!
Shot of Shaman, from behind, humping the dead woman.
He pulls out a razor and slashes her throat from right
to left, and begins rubbing the blood over his hands.
Shot of him, now as artist, painting picture of woman
looking like Evelyn. Re-shot of Shaman Carl smearing
blood against wall, still humping the dead woman.
CARL
(v.o.)
Oh God!!!
Intercut between the two shots, and then, as Shaman
Carl looks like he's having an orgasm, he shoves the
dead woman away to the floor.
CARL
(v.o.)
OH GOD!!!
Artist Carl stops painting and smiles at his piece.
Shot of Shaman Carl with same look. Shot of lovely
painting of Evelyn in front of artist Carl. Shot of
Shaman Carl standing before wall, smeared on it, in
blood and capital letters, "FUCK". Artist Carl smiles
and kisses his hand in approval of his masterpiece. In
exact position, intercut of Shaman Carl kissing bloody
hand. Artist Carl then moves hand away, still smiling.
Shaman Carl smiles as his hand leaves face in the next
shot, face smeared with blood, dripping from hand and
lips. He licks it from his lips.
CUT TO:
INT. CABIN - CONT.
Clasp of Carl's face.
CARL
NOOOOO!!!!!
EVELYN
It's alright! It's alright! You
are completely relaxed. Breath in
deeply.
He calms down slightly.
EVELYN
Good. When I count to three,
you'll come back to consciousness
and open your eyes, relaxed. One,
two, three.
Carl opens eyes and looks around, breathing deeply and
appearing scared. He looks at Evelyn, then slowly
begins to laugh.
CARL
I know who I am. (beat) The
freak. The Shaman Killer. I'm
him.
EVELYN
(confused look on face)
You... you must be mistaken.
CARL
No. I know. I know. I saw
myself kill and rape a woman.
EVELYN
(trying to sound calm)
Just because you saw something
under hypnosis doesn't mean it
happened. It could be your
imagination.
CARL
Don't you fucking see? When was
the last killing? (beat) It was
the night before I lost my fucking
memory. You think that's a
coincidence? (beat) Face it.
I AM the killer. Mr. Hood wasn't
my first. And he won't be my
last.
EVELYN
(sick look on face)
Carl...
CARL
That's why I wanted him dead!
It's in my fucking blood. (beat)
I'm sorry I forced you into this.
EVELYN
(looking ashamed)
You didn't.
CARL
Yes I did! You didn't want him
dead, I did!
EVELYN
You're wrong. I wanted him dead.
I thought about it every day.
She shakes nervously. He looks at her, then away.
CARL
I have to leave you. I'm afraid I
might hurt you or Sigmund. I
can't let that happen.
EVELYN
Carl...
CARL
It's for the best. I'll be the
fall guy. You can say I went
crazy and killed myself with him
in the boat. Then you and Sigmund
can keep everything.
EVELYN
I don't want the money. I want...
you.
CARL
We can't.
He closes his eyes. So does she, and she begins
crying.
