Final Destination - Death Time

FINAL DESTINATION - DEATH TIME
Daniel and his friends are outside a cinema. It hasn't opened yet. They're going to celebrate Daniel's 20th birthday by watching a movie. Daniel and Eric stand beside each other, Cody and John stand beside each other and the girls stand beside each other. DANIEL This is going to be my most exciting birthday ever! ERIC This is going to be so funny! The girls look at the movies in the cinema. EMMA I wonder which movie Daniel chose. SARAH I hope it's a horror movie. I love horror movies! LISA Me too. Rosalie sighs deeply. ROSALIE I hope he chose a romantic movie. Rosalie whispers to the other girls. ROSALIE I'm secretly in love with Daniel. Cody and John look at the movies in the cinema and point at two different movies. CODY We're never going to have the same taste when it comes to movies... JOHN It's actually good! No one has the same personality. People are different. CODY Especially the two of us. Never mind. This is going to be fun! John and Cody give each other a high five. Daniel and his friends are waiting outside the cinema, in front of the doors. The doors open and they're going in. Everybody except Daniel looks around in the cinema. They have never been there before, except Daniel. ROSALIE Nice! DANIEL I know. Rosalie smiles, silly. It's noticeable that she is in love with Daniel. Daniel and his friends go to the ticket holder. Daniel gives him the 8 tickets in one bundle. The ticket holder takes them. THE TICKET HOLDER The movie starts in 2 minutes. Go to auditorium 6. Hurry up! DANIEL Thanks. They're going up the stairs, excited about the movie. They stand outside auditorium 6. CODY This is going to be so cool! JOHN Time to go in! DANIELS VISION 1: They're going to the cinema. Everybody goes to the chairs and takes a seat. They're watching the movie screen. The red curtains open and the ads before the movie starts to show. In the meantime, outside, two boys climb up to the roof with the help of a long ladder. BOY 1 I know how we can watch the movie for free! We can make a hole in the roof with the ladder. BOY 2 Sure! Boy 1 smashes the ladder into the roof. Inside the cinema, the ads are still showing. Sarah looks at Daniel. SARAH Is it going to be a horror movie? DANIEL No... It's an action movie! SARAH Oh no... I bet this movie is boring. Daniel shakes his head. Daniel notices that a bit of the roof falls to the floor. Daniel looks up. There's a big hole and he can see the sky. Then, he notices the two boys looking down at the screen. It starts to rain but Daniel doesn't notice. DANIEL Hey! What are you doing!? Go away! Everybody looks up. The boys climb down from the roof on the ladder. Daniel sees that raindrops are touching the floor. It starts to thunder. The lightning hits the roof and it gets more broken. It rains on the cinema screen and it starts to crackle. DANIEL Run! Daniel and his friends run in different directions, screaming. Daniel runs to the exit and tries to open the door but it's locked. The screen looks like it's going to fall down and everybody runs to the back of the auditorium. Suddenly, the screen crashes in front of everybody. Rosalie screams and a screw falls into her mouth while she is screaming. The screw gets stuck in her throat and she suffocates. John gets up from the chair, picks his phone up, and calls 911. While holding the phone to his ear, the phone gets covered by rain. John gets an electric shock and falls back to the chair, dead. Lisa runs to the other exit and tries to open it but it's locked. She's twitching the door knob. She snatches the door knob, frantically, but loses her grip and falls backwards to the floor, on her back. A sharp piece of the roof falls on her arm so it starts to bleed continuously. She loses a lot of blood and dies. Cody is hiding under one of the chairs. But he realizes that he can’t come out of his hiding spot. CODY I can't give up now! Cody tries to come out from the chair but it doesn’t work. The screws on the sides of the chair are loose but Cody doesn't notice it. The screws drill into the skin of Cody's face. He tries to pull them out but it doesn't work. His hands fall down to the floor. He is dead. Sarah takes a ladder from one of the corners in the cinema. She puts the ladder through the hole of the roof. She climbs up the ladder. The roof starts to break even more. She falls backwards from the ladder and gets smashed by the roof that falls over her. She dies. A cable sticking out from a crack in the broken floor, crackles, and is electric. Emma happens to walk on it. She gets many electric shocks and falls to the floor. Eric waves at the cinema worker (the cinema worker sits at the back and looks terrified). ERIC Hello!? Can someone help us!? The cinema worker is completely paralyzed and doesn't answer. He looks around in the cinema, scared. ERIC Call the staff! The man calls but it's an answering machine on the phone. He turns off the call and sighs. Eric groans. ERIC It's hopeless. We're all gonna die... Eric takes a seat at one of the cinema chairs but he doesn't see that it's the broken chair. Long silver nails get into Eric's back. Eric screams in pain and dies. The roof crackles even more. Daniel looks up. The roof falls down on Daniel. DANIELS VISION IS OVER They are outside the auditorium. CODY This is going to be so exciting! Daniel looks shocked at everybody. DANIEL We have to get out of here! The building is going to fall apart! ERIC Don't you want to watch the movie anymore? DANIEL Listen to me everybody! I just had a vision where the building fell apart! Hurry up, now! Daniel runs away and his friends run after. They run out from the cinema, further away. They turn around and look at the cinema. The roof starts to fall. They stare at the cinema. ERIC You were right... ROSALIE How could you know that this would happen? DANIEL I had a vision. The cinema crashed and we all died. SARAH Creepy... Daniel looks at the cinema, shocked. (THE OPENING CREDITS) The next day: Daniel sits on his sofa in the living room and watches the news on the TV. THE NEWS LADY A cinema crashed yesterday. 20 people died in the accident. A young man that was celebrating his 20th birthday and his friends ran out from the cinema before the incident. People passing by have witnessed him saying that he knew it was to come. The police will not give comments on this. Somebody knocks at the door. Daniel gets worried. He goes to the door and opens it. There's a policeman outside his door. THE POLICEMAN Hello. I am looking for Daniel Mason. DANIEL That's me... They go to the kitchen. THE POLICEMAN How could you know in advance that this accident was going to take place? DANIEL I promise, I got a vision. It was like... someone wanted to tell me what would happen. Like a warning or something... The policeman looks suspiciously at Daniel. THE POLICEMAN Really? DANIEL Yes. And all my friends died in the vision. So I felt I had to warn them before the cinema crashed. THE POLICEMAN Okay. If you really had that vision... But I'm going to keep an eye on you. DANIEL Yeah, sure, no problem. The policeman leaves and Daniel closes the door. He goes to the kitchen and pours up a cup of tea. He goes to the sofa and picks up a magazine from the table. There's a picture of a kid in an article in the magazine. "Cosplay camp in Rome saved a bullied girls life" He spills some of the tea when drinking so it comes on the text. It just falls on the letters Ro, sa, li and e. DANIEL Rosalie? Rosalie is at home, sitting on her bed. She picks up her phone from her pocket and searches for "Daniel Mason" on Google pictures. She looks at the pictures. ROSALIE (WHISPERS) I love you. Daniel looks at the text in the magazine, confused. DANIEL Is this a sign? Oh no... Rosalie is going to die! Rosalie plugs her headphones in and puts on music on her iPhone. It’s a pop song. Rosalie sings to the melody and goes to the kitchen. She opens the pantry and takes out a chocolate cookie. She eats it. The volume of the music suddenly increases by itself to the highest. Rosalie screams. It gets over the max volume. She drops the phone to the floor. Rosalie panics. Her ears start to bleed, and she gets choked by the cookie. Daniel calls Rosalie. She doesn't answer. DANIEL Oh no... the sign! Daniel goes to Rosalie’s house. He tries to open the door but it's locked. He looks through the window and looks shocked. He calls the police. A cop answers. THE COP Yes? DANIEL A friend of mine just died! I saw it through her window! THE COP We're coming. What's the address? Daniel tells Rosalie’s address. THE COP We're coming as fast as we can. DANIEL Thanks. Daniel looks around. DANIEL Oh no... now you've done it, Daniel. The cops are gonna think it was me. If I don't run home... Daniel runs to his home, opens the door, runs in and closes the door. He takes a deep breath in the hallway. Daniel goes to his bedroom, and sits on a chair, in front of his laptop that is on his desk. He googles "vision before it happens". Pictures come up from flight 180. He clicks on an article. "The first future vision in history was from Alex, who was going to fly on flight 180. Before the airplane started, he imagined that he and his friends had died. His friends died first. And at the end of the vision, he died. They died in the same order as they died in his vision." DANIEL Oh no... I can't let this happen. I have to prevent it from happening! Hmm... who died next? But still... I have to know everyone's death order... Daniel takes a pen and a paper from the desk. He tries to imagine his vision again. He gets visions of Rosalie that gets a screw in her mouth while screaming, John that gets electric shocks, a sharp piece of the roof falls on Lisa's left arm, screws coming into Cody's face, Sarah gets smashed by the roof, Emma gets many electric shocks, silver nails coming into Eric's back and the roof falls on Daniel. He writes down the names on the paper and puts the paper in his pocket. DANIEL John is next... I have to warn him! Daniel calls John. John answers. JOHN Hello, Daniel. I'm on my way to an indoor swimming pool. Do you want to come with me? DANIEL Listen, John. Don't go there. You're going to die there. Please, don't go! JOHN Are you nuts? I was just asking you if you wanted to hang out. But unfortunately, you're going to miss out on that opportunity. I'm not going to die, Daniel. Believe me. Daniel looks frightened. DANIEL Which swimming pool are you going to? JOHN (Tells the name of the swimming pool) Daniel turns off the call. He goes to the hall, takes his shoes on and runs to the swimming pool. When he is outside the house, he tries to see where John is but he can't see him. John is inside the swimming pool house with swimming trunks on. He walks on the floor. Daniel runs into the house. He's running past the changing rooms to the swimming pool floor and stops behind John. DANIEL Don't jump into the water! JOHN Why? Is it some magical power in the water? Huh? Or are you just trying to convince me that you're crazy? DANIEL Please, don't. John jumps into the water. He swims around between two girls. JOHN Hello! How's it going? The girls look at him and look at each other again. John splashes water on them. They splash water back. DANIEL Get up, John! John keeps splashing water on them and they keep splashing back. A girl sits on a bench and dries her hair with a hairdryer. Daniel sees that. DANIEL (QUIET) Oh no... a hair dryer in the water can lead to an electric shock. Daniel looks at the people in the water. DANIEL Everybody, get out of the water! Nobody is listening. DANIEL John! You're in danger! The girl is done drying her hair. She is on her way to the changing room. John and the girls splash water so it comes on the floor where she is going to go. Daniel presses the fire alarm and everybody except John that saw what Daniel did goes up from the water. JOHN What is your problem? DANIEL You have to get up from the water! John shakes his head. The girl slips over the water and drops the hairdryer but survives. The hair dryer glides fast to the water. The water gets electric, John gets electric shocks and dies. Daniel looks shocked and terrified. The girl goes up from the floor and stares at the water, the hairdryer and John. She starts to cry. THE GIRL It's my fault. DANIEL No, it isn't. It's the death order's fault. This was supposed to happen. And it happened to me and my friends… THE GIRL What!? DANIEL It's hard to explain. Daniel goes away from the swimming pool and the girl stares at him. He goes out of the house and takes a deep breath. He picks up the paper to see who dies next. "LISA". DANIEL Lisa... Daniel thinks. DANIEL Hmmm... I have to find out where she is. Daniel gets flashbacks from everyone's deaths. DANIEL That's it! They die as they did in the vision. Lisa died by a piece that fell on her left arm... I know where she's going today. To a restaurant. Knives... Daniel calls Lisa. DANIEL Which restaurant are you going to? LISA This is so weird! How did you know that I'm going to a restaurant? DANIEL It doesn't matter. Which restaurant? LISA Take a guess. DANIEL I don't have time for that now! LISA Okay...? Taco Bell. Daniel turns off the call. He runs to Taco Bell and opens the door. He sees Lisa sitting on a chair in front of a table. He goes to her. DANIEL Lisa. Don't eat here, you can go to McDonalds or something. LISA Stop it! I’ve already ordered my food. DANIEL No! Listen... You can't be here anymore. Something or someone is going to kill you! LISA Shut up! You should go home and rest or something. Just don't get me kicked out from the restaurant because you yell too much. Daniel looks around after knives. There are knives in several places. DANIEL Oh no... Daniel turns around to Lisa. DANIEL What did you order? LISA Beef and rice. Why are you asking? Daniel runs to the kitchen where they cook the food. He goes to the chef and knocks him on the shoulder. The chef turns around. THE CHEF What? DANIEL Don't serve the person that wanted the beef and rice what she ordered. Give her something she doesn't have to cut instead. Like... fries and chicken nuggets. THE CHEF Why? DANIEL Because she wants it. THE CHEF Sure… Daniel goes to the restaurant but not to Lisa's table. He doesn't want to make her angrier. Some people talk with each other, some are alone watching their phones, some are alone and don't do anything, some eat. The scraping with the knives when they eat makes Daniel worried. The time goes. LISA Where is my food? A waiter goes to her. THE WAITER Have patience. It's coming soon. LISA Okay. Thanks. The waiter goes. Lisa looks suspect, like something isn't right. Daniel sees that. He looks another way, on the people and the food. A kid, by mistake, cuts herself on a coloring book for kids. THE KID Aaao! Mom, dad! Look! Her parents look worried. She shows up her finger and cries. Her mom picks up a band-aid from her bag. THE MOM Here. The mom puts the band-aid on her daughter’s finger. Daniel gets even more worried. He looks at Lisa again. She doesn't notice him. The waiter comes with the food and she notices, it isn't the food that she ordered. LISA What is this supposed to mean? Daniel goes to Lisa. DANIEL I didn't want something to happen to you if you would cut with a knife. So I changed the order for you. The waiter goes. LISA I couldn't pick my own food... I think you'll have to go. Now! Daniel shakes his head. He notices that Lisa has a knife that is bigger than the fork. He goes to the chair in front of her and sits on it. DANIEL Don't take that knife. It was a mistake from the chef to bring the waiter the knife he gave you. It's bigger than a normal knife. LISA Bullshit! I'm going to show you, what you say is not going to happen. I can cut those nuggets with a knife. Why not? DANIEL No! Eat them with your hands! Lisa is too fast. She cuts the nuggets in the wrong hand by mistake (the hand that she doesn't use often). The nuggets are hard and difficult to cut and the knife slips into her arm. LISA Help me! The arm bleeds more and more. Daniel puts the napkin on the table on her arm. Guests that notice it scream, look scared and run away. The chef and the waiters in the restaurant stare at Lisa’s arm but they do not dare to go and help her. They look frightened. LISA Goodbye... you were right... DANIEL No! You can’t die! Lisa dies. Daniel looks shocked and cries. And he is disgusted by the blood. Daniel looks at the news on the TV on his sofa the next day. THE NEWS LADY Three young people died yesterday. The first one, Rosalie, by music on her iPhone and a cookie, the second one, John, by electric shocks in the water and the third one, Lisa, with a knife in her arm. We suspect it was three of the young man’s friends that were at the cinema. Daniel stares at the TV, sad. A tear is falling from his eye. He turns off the TV. He calls Cody, Sarah, Emma and Eric at the same time. Daniel’s friends answer at the same time. THE FRIENDS Hello. DANIEL Hey. Listen up! We're dying in the order we died in my vision... Did you see the news? CODY Yes... SARAH I'm looking at the news now. It was really sad... ERIC Especially when it's our friends. Can you believe it!? EMMA Can we listen to what Daniel wants to say? Please? DANIEL Okay... You four and I are unfortunately going to die too. ERIC Oh no! How can we stop it? DANIEL That's what we have to find out... come to my house. We're going to have a meeting. THE FRIENDS Okay. Daniel turns off the call. He goes to the sofa in the living room and waits for his friends. The time goes and Daniel has time to do pretty much: Play games on the phone, take a walk outside, watch TV, look in the news magazine and look at the watch on his arm. DANIEL I hope they're coming soon… Daniel gets a call from his phone. DANIEL Hello. Eric answers. ERIC Sorry, we were stuck in a car queue. But now, we're coming soon! DANIEL Good. It was boring to wait so long although I should be a nervous wreck. But… Thank you for coming. ERIC No problem. Eric turns off the call. At last, they come to Daniel’s house with the car. Eric knocks on the door. He hugs Daniel when he opens. ERIC I hope that you'll never die... He stops to hug Daniel. DANIEL Thank you... And I hope that none of us all dies. Daniel goes to the sofa and his friends go to the sofa and sit there too. DANIEL This is kind of a death meeting. They look very serious. They know that it can be their turn anytime. DANIEL Anyone can die, and it's not by natural circumstances. We have to come up with a plan: Avoid Death. SARAH Yeah, but... how? DANIEL Okay, I have an idea. Sarah nods while listening. DANIEL We're calling each other when we see a sign about each other and say to each other not to go to the place it seems to be. And if you see a sign that's for yourself, try to figure out what it means. Daniel’s friends nod understanding. DANIEL So... what do you think? Eric starts to clap his hands and the other friends hang on and start clapping their hands too. ERIC Brilliant idea. You're so smart. DANIEL Thanks. You too. Eric smiles. EMMA I think it's time for us to end this serious meeting. DANIEL Sure! You can go if you want to. But remember what I said. EMMA Mmmm… Daniel’s friends go out from the door and wave to Daniel. THE FRIENDS Bye. DANIEL Bye. They close the door. It's late and Daniel is feeling tired. He goes to his room and falls to the bed, on his back. He dreams so deeply that the only thing he sees is black. The next morning, he wakes up and gets surprised that he still has his clothes he had yesterday on. He goes up from the bed, stretches and yawns. DANIEL New day... I hope my plan will work. Daniel goes to the kitchen. He pours Cheerios in a bowl. He finds something in the bowl that came from the box. It's a QR-code. Daniel Cody... Daniel calls Cody immediately. Cody Hello. DANIEL Something is going to happen to you if you don't do something about it! CODY What exactly is going to happen? DANIEL I don't know yet. Daniel looks at the Cheerios. DANIEL Where are you going today? CODY To a football game. DANIEL Don't go there. There’s gonna be cheerleaders there, right? CODY How did you know that? DANIEL A QR-code just fell from my box of Cheerios. It's a sign! The QR-code is you and the Cheerios are the cheerleaders. CODY Okay. I'm not going. By the way, it sounded funny, what you just said. DANIEL In fact, it wasn't a joke. It was the sign. CODY I know. But it sounded like a joke. DANIEL Mmm... okay, let's not talk about that anymore, this conversation is getting weird. Promise me that you're not going to the match! CODY I promise. My parents would have gone to the match with me but now I have to convince them that we shouldn't go. It's gonna be hard. DANIEL Why? Cody: Because they love football and they watch every match on TV. They never went to a match before. Me neither. But we're not going. I hope they will listen. Especially my dad, his favorite program is football. DANIEL They have to listen to you! Otherwise, they die... CODY Oh no! I'm telling them not to go, bye! Cody turns off the call. Daniel takes the QR-code out from the box. DANIEL This QR-code seems dangerous... to swallow. It nearly killed me. If I would have swallowed it. Daniel eats his Cheerios. Cody goes to the living room to talk with his parents. His parents sit on the sofa. Cody: Listen to me! We can't go to the football match. CODY’S DAD We've waited for this for years! And now, when we finally have enough money, you're telling us not to go!? Cody comes up with a lie. CODY I have started to hate football. I mean it! It's just a boring game with a ball. Please? Can we skip the match? CODY’S MOM Sure. We're canceling the tickets. If you really hate football, why should you watch it? CODY’S DAD We're going without you. CODY No! Something can happen to you if you go. Housebreakers and so on… Cody's dad turns to Cody's mom. CODY’S DAD I think Cody wants to party with his friends here at night. But we're not that easily tricked. Right? CODY’S MOM I don't think so, he seems so nice. CODY If you're going, you're gonna get killed! Cody's parents look shocked. CODY’S DAD Are you going to kill us? CODY No, but I saw at the news on Google that it's been murderers on football matches lately. Cody’s mom turns to Cody’s dad. CODY’S MOM I'm not going. Please… CODY’S DAD Okay. I don't know if I should believe you or not, Cody. But... sure. It seems like I don’t have any other choice. I’m canceling the tickets. CODY Thanks. You saved our lives! Cody goes to his room. The dad looks at the mom and shrugs his shoulders. When Cody is in his room, the lights go out. It's an electrical disturbance. The lights go out. He grabs his pockets to find his phone but then, he realizes it's on his writing desk. He tries to see the desk and when he finally finds the desk, he takes up his phone and puts on the flashlight. The room gets brighter. When he has locked up the phone, he sees his mobile picture he took with his friends. CODY I miss the friends who are dead… Cody wipes away a tear from his cheek. He takes a deeper look at Sarah's diadem. It's a bird on it. Cody Oh no... It's a sign! Cody calls Sarah. Sarah answers. CODY I guess that you're going to the zoo today. But you can't go. I saw a sign! SARAH Okay. I won’t go. CODY Okay... can you promise that you won’t go? SARAH I promise. CODY Good. Sarah puts on the tv with the remote control. It's a funny stand up show with a man that she laughs at. THE MAN Do you know what I hate? Hats which names end with e. SARAH Hahahah! It's so funny! THE MAN Have you ever met Death? Sarah looks neutral again and changes the channel. Someone dies. Sarah changes channel again. Someone on the TV shoots with a gun on someone. SARAH Really? Why does everything on TV have to be about death? Wait... is this a sign? Sarah turns off the TV. A neighbor above her is cooking. He puts oil and meatballs in a frying pan and shakes it. He fixes the stove plate to 9, that is the highest, while he goes to the kitchen table and reads a magazine about music. The meatballs frizzle very much and oil starts to come on the floor. He notices it and goes up from the chair to turn them off but the oil splashes on him so he gets burned. The floor starts to get broken. The whole apartment falls on Sarah's apartment because she lives at the bottom. She gets smashed by all the apartments. Cody is at home and doesn’t know that Sarah is dead. He thinks it’s boring and tries to come up with another idea than the football match. CODY Hmmm… Cody goes to his parents that still watch TV. CODY I want to go to an amusement park. And we have got the money back from the football match so… why not? Cody’s dad claps his hands and Cody’s mom smiles. CODY’S DAD Finally something fun! Cody’s face lights up. They are in the amusement park. Cody looks around, happily, with an amusement park wristband on. CODY’S MOM We should start with a calm rollercoaster. So we don’t get scared. CODY No problem. I’m going to ride a fast, intense roller coaster myself. Watch if you want to. Cody runs away and his parents run after. He runs to a rollercoaster that looks scary to ride. CODY That rollercoaster looks fun! Cody’s parents look worried. Cody runs away to the entrance of the rollercoaster. CODY’S DAD Be careful! Cody goes up on the stairs to the rollercoaster. It’s a long queue. He runs up before everyone else to the rollercoaster, right behind the first so the others that were before him stand behind him. A ROLLERCOASTER VISITOR Be polite, silly! The roller coaster stops. The controller looks at the wristband of the person before Cody and lets him in. Cody goes to the controller. He looks at his wristband. THE CONTROLLER Don’t go before everyone else in the queue next time. Remember that! CODY Ehm… Okay. Cody goes to the seat most forward in the rollercoaster and sits on the seat. The seat controller puts Cody’s and everyone else’s seat belts on. The ride starts and the rollercoaster music comes. Everybody is happy and carefree because they are used to riding scary roller coasters. When the roller coaster rides up, they’re excited. CODY Whooo! The roller coaster rides down, very fast and everybody screams. When they’re upside down, they scream even louder. When the rollercoaster is almost done, the seat controller takes up her water pistol and sprouts it on the rollercoaster watcher. It comes on the rollercoaster control table too. He takes up his water pistol and sprouts back on her. He goes out of the room and they start to run around. The rollercoaster is almost done. But suddenly, all the seats fly to another place in the rollercoaster. Everybody screams, very loud. The roller coaster goes around in a circle. The seat controller and the rollercoaster watcher keep sprouting water on each other, until one of the rollercoaster visitors shouts to them. A ROLLERCOASTER VISITOR Stop it! Watch the rollercoaster and don’t just pretend that everything is fine! They look shocked when they understand what they have done. They go to their places again. The seat controller tries to fix the roller coaster but it doesn’t work. THE ROLLERCOASTER WATCHER Oh no! Now you’ve done it… stupid water pistols. How could we be so stupid!? The roller coaster goes backwards and down to the ground of the rollercoaster. Everybody dies. Cody has two drills in each one of his chins. His parents look shocked and sad at him. They cry and try to run to him but it’s too many people there so they can’t come. They are in shock. Emma is on her job practice. She’s practicing in a food store, where she puts the food where it should be. She puts milk, cookies, chips, spices, chocolate, candy, ham, meat and bread on the right shelves. She looks exhausted. She goes to the store owner. EMMA I’m totally washed-up! I know it’s just a practice but even if I just have been here for two weeks, I get ordered to much more than the other people that work here. THE STORE OWNER (SARCASTIC) You should try to be a cashier. That’s not so much work at all. EMMA I mean it! You think you’re a boss that thinks the only way to have fun is to make fun of me! The store owner gets bewitched and stares at Emma. EMMA I’m quitting! Emma takes her jacket from one of the hangers. The store owner takes the jacket from her. THE STORE OWNER If you want it, take it. The store owner puts the jacket on the floor and stomps on it. EMMA You are going to regret this! The store owner runs to the electrical cabinet. THE STORE OWNER Okay… do it. Put me into this electrical cabinet. Emma pushes him but he grabs her arm at the same time, opens the electrical cabinet and pushes her into it. She gets electric shocks from the cabinet until she falls to the floor, dead. The store owner looks neutral again. THE STORE OWNER Oh no… what have I done? My aggression… No. It wasn’t me! How could I do such a thing? The store owner gets strangled by the invisible Death but he doesn’t know it’s someone there. THE STORE OWNER Wha-at…? The store owner dies. Daniel watches the news and the news lady talks about what happened to everybody. DANIEL Now I know the death pattern… my friends died the same way as they died in my vision. That’s it! I have to call Eric. Daniel calls Eric. Eric answers. ERIC Hello? DANIEL Our friends died the same way as they died in my vision! ERIC Oh no! How did I die? DANIEL You died by silver nails that came into your back. And I died by the roof that was falling on me… ERIC Oh no... we have to avoid Death! DANIEL But first… we have to do something important. Daniel and Eric are at their friend’s funeral, outside. The graves are under the grass with pictures of them above the grass and sunflowers, roses, pet statues and chocolate boxes that people gave them. Daniel and Eric cry and make crying sounds, until the priest comes with a microphone in his hand. They look neutral and sad. THE PRIEST Here are the loved ones of the kind, lovingly mortals below ground. Even people that don’t know them have come here to cry, sorrow, and think of them. They may see a glimpse of us from heaven. Amen… EVERYONE AT THE FUNERAL Amen… The priest walks away. Cody’s parents go to Daniel and Eric. They greet each other. CODY’S MOM Cody told us you were great friends. Several times in his life. CODY’S DAD But now he’s… Cody’s dad starts to cry while Cody’s mom starts to cry a little. DANIEL I can’t believe it… it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to me. To see all my friends here, and Cody, dead. But it has to be a mystery. A death pattern. ERIC Cody had a death vision. And after that vision, everyone of our friends died, including ourselves. And in the order as they died in the vision, the same order they died in reality. Cody’s parents stare at Daniel and Eric. CODY’S MOM What? DANIEL Anyways, take care of yourselves. Cody’s parents nod confused and go away from Daniel and Eric. DANIEL Now you’ve done it… ERIC What did I do? DANIEL Now they think I’m crazy. Sorry, I take it back. We should be friends. Until we die. ERIC No, don’t say that. I don’t want to die. DANIEL Sorry… okay, If we don’t want to get killed, we have to come up with a strategy. Avoid Death. And not be mad at each other. A bewitched couple fights with each other. Daniel sees that. DANIEL Look at them, for example. We shouldn’t end up like that. Eric looks at the couple. The woman hits the man and he hits her back. They start to roll around until the woman takes a knife from her pocket and stabs him in the back. THE WOMAN Oh no! What have I done? The woman drops the knife. She looks so innocent, like she didn’t even do it. She looks at Daniel and Eric who looked at them the whole time. They look terrified. She runs away from the funeral but faints on a hard rock. She dies. DANIEL Oh no… now other people die instead of us. ERIC Isn’t that a good thing? DANIEL No. It can lead to a death massacre. By Death. It controls people to kill their loved ones. Then, they die themselves. Eric looks scared. ERIC I wouldn’t want to be in that situation. Daniel shakes his head. DANIEL Me neither. But for now, it seems like Death is more powerful than ever. ERIC We never know how powerful Death can be. It can lead to war if we don’t do anything about it. DANIEL We have to be careful and don’t talk about it… ERIC Sure. DANIEL And we should hold together all the time. Whose house shall we live in? ERIC Mine. I live in a big house. DANIEL Okay. Let’s go to your house. They’re going away from the funeral to Eric’s house. When they are there, Eric points at the house to show which house it is. It’s a good-looking house with a beautiful garden. ERIC There it is! DANIEL Nice house… Two boys (the boys that were on the roof in the cinema) that are Eric’s neighbors, throw kitchenware at each other. DANIEL That’s the boys that were on the roof. ERIC I know. They’re my neighbors. They’ve always been nice to each other. I don’t even know what they’re doing right now. DANIEL They’re throwing kitchenware at each other. BOY 1 I hate you! BOY 2 I hate you more! DANIEL I think that Death decides that everyone kills everyone. ERIC That isn’t legal. Daniel looks at Eric. DANIEL Death doesn’t have rules. Daniel looks at the boys again. DANIEL Stop it! Don’t kill each other! They’ll stop throwing. BOY 1 Don’t worry. We’re not able to kill each other. Get it? They’re starting to throw again. The first boy’s knife happens to come into the second boy’s stomach. Boy 2 screams. BOY 1 Nooo! Boy 2 dies. Boy 1 cries and turns around to Daniel and Eric. BOY 1 What happened? DANIEL It was Death. He made you kill him. Boy 1 cries and is on his way to the door but he slips on the staircase that’s filled with water. He falls backwards and dies. Daniel and Eric look really shocked and disgusted. They look through a window. There’s a bathtub with flowing water. ERIC Oh no… one of their parents forgot to turn off the bathtub. DANIEL We have to run away before their parents think it was us! Daniel and Eric run away to Daniel’s house, very fast. They are exhausted when they arrive. ERIC That was painful. DANIEL I agree. But I feel sorry for the boys. ERIC But… What about my parents? Oh no! We forgot to protect them! Eric’s parents are fixing the garden. Eric’s dad has a big bush-scissor and cuts the bushes into his favorite pattern: Stars. Eric’s mom comes and sees that. ERIC’S MOM What are you doing? ERIC’S DAD Look! My favorite pattern! ERIC’S MOM Stars are your favorite pattern, not mine. We should have decided, both of us! Eric’s dad sighs. ERIC’S DAD You’re just jealous! I don’t want us to be together anymore! Eric’s dad throws the open bush-scissor on Eric’s mom. The scissor comes to her legs, so they get cut off. She screams. ERIC’S DAD Oh no! What have I done!? Eric’s mom dies. Eric’s dad cries. He throws the bush-scissor to the grass, but it gets thrown back to him by the invisible Death and he scratches him on half of the body. His body pieces fall to the grass. Eric tries to call them one at a time, but no one answers. ERIC They’re dead… I hate Death! Eric collapses on the sidewalk and cries. DANIEL I feel sorry for you… Daniel holds Eric’s arm and picks Eric up from the sidewalk. Eric sighs deeply. ERIC My parents… what happened? DANIEL I don’t think we want to know… Daniel and Eric go slowly to Daniel’s door. Daniel picks up the key from his pocket and unlocks the door. Daniel goes in first, to the hallway. Eric looks afraid. ERIC I don’t think I… what if something happens to us, right now? Or soon? DANIEL Don’t worry. It’s not going to happen yet. If we know what we’re doing. ERIC Okay… Eric goes into the hallway. DANIEL See? Nothing happened. Eric doesn’t look afraid anymore. He goes in too. But when Eric is in the hallway, the stuff from the hat shelf slowly starts to fall down: A box with game consoles, hats, caps and neckwear. Eric notices it, runs to Daniel and pushes him aside to the floor. Eric and Daniel stare at the stuff on the floor. ERIC Oh no… DANIEL I could have been killed! And you saved me. Thanks… ERIC No problem… DANIEL Wait… I think it’s a sign. A death sign. We have to avoid being killed. Eric looks worried. ERIC We’re going to die… but I don’t wanna die! DANIEL Don’t worry. We just have to be smart. Eric nods. DANIEL I think we can go outside, rather be there than in this little house when we avoid things. Daniel and Eric go out through the front door. ERIC How did I die? Daniel gets a flashback: Eric takes a seat at one of the cinema chairs but he doesn't see that it's the broken chair. Long silver nails get into Eric's back. Eric screams in pain and dies. DANIEL You’re going to die by silver nails that come into your back… ERIC How? DANIEL By a chair… ERIC Oh no! Two girls are throwing stones from a balcony and giggling. Daniel sees that. One of the stones almost falls on Eric but right before it happens. Daniel holds Eric and runs away with him. The girls go inside. Eric stares at Daniel. ERIC They tried to kill me! Daniel shakes his head. DANIEL No… it was Death. He can control people’s minds. ERIC Oh no… he can make anyone do anything! Eric sighs deeply. ERIC I hope I’ll live longer than Death wants me to live. Daniel gets a phone call from an old classmate, Sam. He answers. DANIEL Hello? SAM Hello. Good news! I’m going to be married today! DANIEL Fun. Who are you going to be married to? SAM Do you remember Denise? DANIEL Yes. One of our classmates. SAM I have a question. Do you want to come to my wedding? DANIEL If I can take my friend, Eric, with me. SAM Sure! The wedding starts today, in two hours. Sorry for not telling you, I forgot. It’s been such a long time since we met and… we are still friends, right? DANIEL Yes. Bye! SAM Bye! Daniel turns off the call. He looks at Eric. Eric looks back at Daniel. DANIEL Come on. We have a wedding to come to! ERIC I have never been to a wedding. DANIEL Me neither. ERIC But what about Death? DANIEL We’re going to have a lot of people around us at the wedding. I think it’s quite safe. A taxicab comes. Daniel goes into one of the taxi backseats and Eric comes after. Daniel pays the taxi-driver 11 dollars. DANIEL Here. Drive us to... Eric thinks about the death so Daniel's voice drowns and gets decreased in volume. The taxi-driver nods and drives them to the wedding. When they are there, they thank the taxi-driver and get out of the taxicab. They go to the door to the wedding and Daniel knocks at the door. Sam opens the door. SAM Hello, it's so fun to have you here! DANIEL The same to you! They go in through the doors. Daniel looks around. DANIEL It's very big here. SAM I know. And beautiful. Daniel, Eric and the guests sit on benches in the big wedding room. The couple goes to the front of everybody, where the priest stands, while the song “Here comes the bride” is played on a pipe organ, by someone. Daniel and Eric smile until he hears a deep voice (The Death), while the couple has just gone to the priest. THE DEATH (VOICE) The time is near… you’re soon all going to die! Daniel and Eric look scared. THE DEATH (VOICE) Do you know who dies first? Daniel looks around to see if anyone else hears The Death. The others look happily at the couple. DANIEL (WHISPER TO ERIC) No one can hear The Death, except us! ERIC (WHISPER TO DANIEL) I don’t want us to die… DANIEL (WHISPER TO ERIC) Me neither… THE DEATH (VOICE) Eric dies first! Eric runs to the door in the wedding room, and Daniel runs after. Everybody turns around and stare at them. Eric tries to open the door, but it’s locked. ERIC No! The door is locked! THE PRIEST Why are you trying to run away? Daniel, Eric and the guests look at the priest. ERIC Death is after us! Eric sees Death coming in through the wall, behind the priest. He points at Death. ERIC There he is!! The guests look at the priest. They don’t see Death. The priest looks wondering at Eric. Death shows up in front of him. Eric starts to scream. THE PRIEST Quiet!! The couple sighs. Eric pushes Death, but Death shows up behind him instead. Eric runs away to the place where the priest and the couple stand. Eric doesn’t see Death anymore. He takes a deep breath. ERIC Finally, we got rid of the death… Death shows up behind Eric. DEATH No, not yet… Death scratches Eric’s back with two big knives, so they come into the back. Eric screams and falls to the floor, with two blood stripes on his back. The guests scream and try to run away from the wedding. Daniel tries to open the door, but it’s still locked. He goes to the windows, picks up a big, purple ornamental stone, and smashes one of the windows. Everybody tries to get out, and the door becomes unlocked. Daniel tries to come out before the door closes, but the door closes. He tries to open it, but it’s locked again. Suddenly, Death stands on the roof. The roof falls over Daniel, while Death disappears. The broken house is filmed. Daniel isn’t visible, he is smashed under the roof. (THE END CREDITS)
