Scream

Previously on Scream...

I need your help tracking down Jake Fitzgerald.

Audrey: What do you guys think of stavo?

Brooke: He's kind of obsessed with the lakewood six.

Stavo: I think we might've been dosed.

Ayahuasca affects everyone differently.

It all depends on what's buried inside you.

There you have it. The five finalists

for the title: "Lady of the lake."

Male officer: Stay back at this time, all right?

Woman: Hey! Sheriff! That's our kids in there!

Why won't you let us see them? Hey! What's happening?

Female officer: When we find out more information, we will update you.

Male officer: Stay behind the line! Please cooperate with us!

Hey, get these doors closed.

It's gonna be fine, you guys. We just need everyone to gather in the gym

until we know what to do next... wrong way, ladies.

We need to get to Brooke. Ms. lang, please!

Of course. Come with me.

Excuse us, people! Coming through!

Do the rules just not apply to them?

No one comes in or goes out.

I want every single student accounted for.

Ten-four. Ladies and gentlemen, listen up!

I'm officially putting this school into lockdown.

All right, let's move it!

Maggie: You're doing great, sweetie. Stay with me.

Why don't you talk to me, honey?

That night at the pool, he wanted to take me to the carnival.

I wanted to say yes.

Oh, sweetie...

Why didn't I say yes?

Brooke, are you okay? No, no, no! I'm not finished.

It's evidence. It can't be compromised.

Excuse me, doc. I need Emma and miss Jensen.

Why? No, please don't make them leave.

No, we're her friends. She needs us right now.

Someone should stay. Maggie: I'm almost finished, Dwayne.

The girl is in shock. She's gonna need a hand to help clean up.

Okay. Emma, you're higher on the sheriff's list for questioning.

You come with me. Jensen, you stay. Let's go.

I'm sure they're just questioning all of Jake's friends.

It's gonna be okay. Mm, okay.

I'll come and find you after the lockdown's lifted. Okay.

Hey... it's okay. We've got this.

Yeah, I just...

Maggie: Almost done, honey.

See, Emma? Sheriff's questioning a lot of people.

Don't worry.

We were friends. Well, since last October.

Before that, we were, I don't know, not friends.

But stuff like that, what we went through with Piper...

Stuff like that changes you.

It changed us. Of course.

I want to thank you for sitting down with me.

This must be rough on you.

Well, we're kind of used to...

Yeah, actually, it's... it's awful.

I'll keep this brief, then. When was the last time you saw Jake?

At a party, the other night, like, five days ago.

So, you hadn't seen Jake in five days?

Well, nobody had. He'd had a fight with Brooke,

and she thought he was playing some sort of elaborate game of hide-and-seek with her.

For five days?

You have to understand Jake. I mean...

He went to great lengths to be a pain in the ass sometimes.

Must've been a little worried. With something as terrible as this,

people would rather believe anything else is happening.

But, now, we know what's happening, don't we?

What exactly do you think is happening?

Now that Emma's home, Piper's accomplice is finishing the job.

Boy: It's her. What's she doing here?

I'm so sorry, Emma. I can't believe this is happening again.

How's Brooke? Uh...

She's a mess. How are you?

Oh, my god.

I am so sorry about last night.

I should have never doubted you.

Let's not talk about that, okay?

I should have said something. Brooke: What?

Uh...

Are you okay in there?

No.

No, it just feels like this awful nightmare.

I mean, it just doesn't feel real.

We were literally just texting.

Wait, he texted you? Yesterday.

See for yourself.

"You'll see me tomorrow."

Okay, that's... I just keep staring at it.

He said I'd see him today, and then this happened.

It's just... It's too weird!

Maybe this text didn't come from Jake.

What do you mean? It had to be him.

Unless it happened after. I mean... I mean, unless it came from his...

killer.

Is this really all happening again?

Well, they took my clothes.

Do they have anything else for me to wear,

or do they want me to wander the halls naked?

Well...

They found this.

Hilarious.

Seriously?

Hey! So, what did he ask you?

Usual stuff. Um...

"When was the last time you saw the victim?

Was he acting strangely?"

Oh, that's probably my mom.

I have to check in with her.

So, did the sheriff say why they're holding us like this?

No, but I'm sure it's because they know someone's out there,

which I have been saying for a long time.

Stavo: You keep saying, "there's somebody out there."

Have you not considered the vintage "locked room" horror scenario?

When a stranger calls? Killing room? Devil? Rope?

Noah: Oh. You're saying the call is coming from inside the house.

Yeah, man. What if they think one of us is the killer?

They didn't lock the killer out. They locked him in.

Him or her. Could be either.

But I guess I should leave the crazy paranoid talk to the experts.

Kieran, can I talk to you for a second?

You okay?

It's Jake's phone. Yeah.

I found it in my backpack.

What the hell? I emptied my backpack out last night at home

and it wasn't in there, so that means that...

Oh, my god. That means that someone at school must've put it in there.

The only person who could have had this...

is the killer. Yes.

Oh, my god, look at her.

Hayley meyers!

What? Me? I'm Hayley meyers.

The sheriff needs to talk to you.

What did the sheriff ask you? I haven't been interviewed yet.

Seriously? Why me? Why would he...?

Hey.

How is Brooke?

Wrecked. Her dad's on his way, but, in the meantime,

they're putting her in solitary, out of gen-pop, for obvious reasons.

Okay, what is going on?

God...

How did you...? I don't know.

Someone planted it in my backpack.

Now, I have to figure out how to explain all of that to the cops.

No, no!

Don't go to the cops. What?

So, some kid turns up dead, so you lock my son and nephew inside with the body

and, for all I know, the killer?

That is not okay! Caruso!

I trust Anita and the baby are well?

Right this way, mayor Maddox.

That's the mayor?

I'm here... if you want to talk about anything.

Okay.

Daddy.

It might not be Jake's phone.

I just need to give this to the sheriff

and let him do his job.

All we know is someone planted it on you.

They wanted you to find it.

Do you remember what happened the last time we got played?

You nearly got killed. Jake is already dead!

I'm sorry, but we know what's going on now.

Whoever did this is trying to control us.

It may be a game to them, but, to us, it's life or death.

Oh, my god.

Please don't ignore me.

I'm so sorry.

I was trying to ignore the fact that something horrible happened.

Are you talking about what happened in the auditorium, or last night?

Both. I'm sorry, Zoe, if...

Look, talking about last night after all this is kind of ridiculous,

and I'm not sure I'm up for the other conversation,

so can you just...

Let me keep trying to ignore both.

We all have our ways of coping.

But, if you need to talk...

go ahead. Not if you're uncomfortable, or...

I'm fine. It's probably healthier not to ignore it. So, um...

Do you think it's starting up again?

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Why did he do it like that? So public?

It was an announcement, a coming-out party,

a classic end-of-act-one body drop.

So, like, what? The killer's emboldened now?

Exactly. We're starting act two.

That, unfortunately, means we've all got bull's-eyes on our backs.

Unless... somebody figures out who it is and tries to stop them.

Hopefully. Yeah, well, that's the job for the final girl.

Or the hero.

I didn't want to say anything, but, um...

I'm a huge fan of the morgue.

I love your voice,

and I think that you make...

The morbid beautiful.

Oh, well, thank you.

Now that I've had a front row seat, I get it...

Why you do it. I'm all ears.

I think maybe you're sublimating your feelings about mortality
