Riley: You could have just said a date.

They walk outside into an alleyway.

Sam: It wasn't a date! I swear!

Riley: It sure as hell didn't look like it.

Sam: You know what, Riley!? I've had enough of this crap!

Riley: What?

Sam: I can't have a drink with a friend with you! This is insane! I can't talk to you right now! I can't look at you! Talk to me when you are sane!

A hand grabbed her ankle. It was Riley's. You see Riley's face and his eyes are now open. The vamp smiles.

Shasha: Now that's what I've been waiting for. I know what you are. I am what you are. Now, all you have to do is let it loose.

Shasha vamps out.

Shasha: I did.

Riley stares at her, emotionless. Riley vamps out. Riley is a vampire! Riley kisses Shasha while they're both vamped out. The camera zooms around them quickly.

Riley: So did I.

John: You, slut.

Susan: I gave you everything you ever dreamed of. I showed you what sex really is. It happened and can't deny that.

Sam: Oh my god! That's hilarious!

Michael: I know!

They try to stop laughing.

Sam: Okay, does that mean I can spill my coffee on you "accidentally"?

Michael: No, no way!

Sam: Be that way!

CUT TO:

EXT ? DORM ? DAY

You see a shot of the dorm.

CUT TO:

INT ? DORM ? HALLWAY ? DAY
The song "Tailspin" by The Nields starts playing. The music starts at 0:10. Some instrumental stuff is playing until the lyrics start. You can find the song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UZiCrlv3GI

Don't want to get my heart broken.
Don't want to lay myself out on the line.
I've got plenty of friends.
If you're in need of a friend, you can have one of mine.

Salomie is walking down the hallway and stops at a door. She knocks and waits until John opens it and smiles.

Don't want to lay my heart open.
For the arrow to find the tender spot!
Don't want to worry about what I don't have, I want to worry about what I've got.

John: Hey.

Salomie: John, hey.

John: Do you want to come in.

Salomie smiles a little.

Salomie: Okay.

CUT TO:

INT ? COFFEE SHOP ? DAY

But you pull me in.
Make me feel brand new again.

You just see Sam and Michael laughing together.

CUT TO:

INT ? CAR ? DAY

Make me turn around when I walk away.
This is not me!

You have a close up on Melissa and there is a shot of Graham blending in with the shot.

CUT TO:

INT ? DORM - SALOMIE/JILL'S DORM ROOM ? DAY

This is not how I've been!
I'm in a tailspin, back again.

Jill and Chris are kissing passionately in the room.

CUT TO:

INT ? DORM ? JOHN'S DORM ROOM ? DAY

Tailspin, back again.
Tailspin, back again!!!

John and Salomie are kissing each other and they fall onto the bed. Salomie takes John's shirt off and Salomie does the same to John.

CUT TO:

INT ? COFFEE SHOP ? DAY

I got everything I wanted.
How could I want something more?
I'm not the kind to spend the afternoon waiting for a package to arrive at my door.

The music skips to 1:29, skipping the solo for the music. Sam and Michael are still talking but you can't hear them. You close up on their hands, they are holding hands.

CUT TO:

INT ? DORM ? JILL/SALOMIE'S DORM ROOM ? DAY

And what is does is I say, Hey, what's this?
Is it something I really need?
Did I ask for a god?
Down to the earth?
Did I ask you to intercede?

Jill and Chris are under the covers now. All you see are the covers moving.

CUT TO:

INT ? DORM ? JILL/SALOMIE'S DORM ROOM ? UNDER COVERS ? DAY

But you change my mind.
Reconfigure how I spend my time.
Make me lift my chin...

You see Jill's face and then Chris's face back and forth.

CUT TO:

INT ? DORM ? JOHN'S ROOM ? DAY

...where you break my heart.
Where's the fun in that?
When does the easy part start?

You see John and Salomie keeping on kissing each other and grabbing each other.

CUT TO:

INT ? CAR ? DAY

I'm in a tailspin, back again.
Tailspin, back again.

You see Melissa looking sad.

CUT TO:

INT ? COFFEE SHOP ? DAY

Tailspin, back again!!!
Tailspin, back again.
Tailspin, back again.

You see someone; looking like a waitress, walk over to Sam. She nods and pulls out her wallet and grabs some money. She gives it to the women but before she closes it she sees a picture of Riley, smiling. She closes it and then faces Michael, smiling.

CUT TO:

INT ? DORM ? SALOMIE/JILL'S ROOM ? DAY

Tailspin, back again!
Tailspin, back again!

You see the covers moving.

CUT TO:

INT ? DORM ? JOHN'S ROOM ? DAY

Tailspin, back again!!!

You see John and Salomie kissing.

CUT TO:

EXT ? DORM ? DAY

Salomie is walking out of the dorm after her "meeting" with John.

CUT TO:

INT ? PRESS ? DAY

Salomie walks into the press and walks straight to her desk and sits down. She sees her notes on the murders and then types on the computer.

Salomie: I'll never find this killer.

CUT TO:

EXT ? WAREHOUSES ? DAY

They park their car and walk out of it. Lain looks around.

Lain: There's nothing here.

Jake: (sarcastically; to Lain) That sure was a thorough search.

Lain: Well, I don't see anything.

Melissa: I do. Look!

Melissa points to someone. It looks like Wallace.

Jake: That's Wallace. What is he doing here?

Melissa: I have no idea.

They run after him. They turn a corner and see him gone but they see a bloody body. The head seems twisted and something went through her stomach. The weirdest thing though, is that her left hand was gone.

Melissa: Oh my god.

Lain: What the hell is this?!

Melissa: It's Wallace! It has to be!

Jake: No, I'm sure he must just be running away from the murderer.

Melissa: There's no way. Oh god, oh god. Look at her.

Melissa points to the body. She begins to cry.

Lain: Melissa, don't look.

Melissa starts walking away when Jake pulls out his cell and starts talking to someone.

CUT TO:

INT ? POLICE STATION ? DAY

Melissa, Jake, and Lain walk into the room. They all walk into separate directions. Melissa walks straight to Wallace and she turns him around.

Wallace: Melissa?

Melissa: I saw you running, I turned a corner that you turned and I saw that bloody body.

Wallace: I saw it too.

Melissa: Did you make it look like that?

Wallace: What?

Melissa's been trying to hold it in but she just screams.

Melissa: Did you kill that girl!!??

Everybody in the station stops to look at them and Wallace tries to make her calm down.

Wallace: No, Melissa. I would never do that.

Melissa: Then what were you doing?

Wallace: To tell the truth, looking for you guys to help you. I ran into the murderer. He had a mask on, I couldn't see his face. I saw him standing next to the body. He chased me, and I ran.

Melissa doesn't look convinced.

Wallace: You have to believe me, Melissa.

Melissa: (lying) I do.

Wallace: Good.

Wallace walks away from her.

CUT TO:

EXT ? RILEY'S HOUSE ? DAY

Melissa knocks on the door. Riley answers.

Melissa: Hello, is Graham here?

Riley: Yeah, he's right in here.

Melissa: I'll stay out, can you bring him out?

Riley: Yeah, sure. Just one second.

Melissa: Okay.

Riley disappears into the house and Graham walks out.

Graham: Hey.

Melissa: Graham, we need to talk.

Graham: I know, about the Lain thing, it's just gone so insane. He's so mad at me. I don't think he'll be my friend anymore. And then everything will be so weird between us. I don't want this. I just want everything to be normal.

Melissa: Graham, I talked to Lain. He said he'd love being friends with me.

Graham: But he didn't say that to me.

Melissa: Well, talk to him. Okay? And we needed to talk about the murders.

Graham: Oh.

Melissa: Did you get any info?

Graham: No, but someone's trying now.

Melissa: Okay, I think I know who the murderer is.

Graham: Who?

Melissa: Wallace, my boss.

Graham: Why?

Melissa: Well, when me, Lain, and Jake, one of my partners, searched at the warehouses, we saw Wallace running. We chased him. He turned a corner so we turned the corner also. When we turned it, he was gone, and there was a bloody body with the left hand gone.

Graham: What was his story?

Melissa: He saw the murderer with a mask on next to the bloody body so he ran. But, there's a problem with his story. There were two bodies. One was on the left side of the middle of the group of warehouses, one was on the right. We saw the one on the right, and he claimed he saw that one too. Here's the flaw. He was running from the left. If he saw it, why would he run left and then back right towards where the murderer was according to him.

Graham smiles.

Graham: You're really good at this.

Melissa smiles back at him.

Melissa: I know. So, can you get some info on this dude?

Graham: Yeah, sure. Wallace what?

Melissa: Wallace Echolls.

Graham: Okay, will do.

Melissa: Me and Lain are going to check the warehouses again tonight.

Graham: Okay, be careful.

Melissa: I always am.

Melissa walks away.

CUT TO:

INT ? PRESS ? DAY

Graham walks into the press. He walks to Salomie.

Graham: Any info?

Salomie: No. I can't find anything.

Graham: Well, my friend did.

Salomie: What is it?

Graham: Too long to explain. You need to search Wallace Echolls and find whatever you can about him. And look for anything relating a left hand.

Salomie: Isn't he the person who employs people at the police station?

Graham: Yes, but his history. And make it fast. When you find something, call me.

Salomie: Okay, I will.

Graham: Thanks a ton.

CUT TO:

INT ? PRESS ? NIGHT

There aren't that many people there anymore. She is typing stuff on the computer. Her eyes widen.

Salomie: Oh my god.

Salomie quickly prints the page she was looking at. It prints and she grabs it. She stands up and runs out the door.

CUT TO:

EXT ? PARKING LOT ? NIGHT

Salomie is walking to her car, on the phone.

Salomie: Answer it!

You hear a message machine but you can't tell who it is.

Salomie: (to the message machine) Graham, I found something. Something big. It turns out that Wallace was fired from his last job as a police officer for sexually assaulting someone. A girl named Jamie. And guess what, she lives in Laintan, what a coincidence. I'm going to visit her and get some answers. Then I'll call you back.

Salomie hangs up and keeps walking.

CUT TO:

EXT ? WAREHOUSES ? NIGHT

Melissa and Lain are walking around, looking for a clue. They see a warehouse with a light on inside and they walk towards it.

CUT TO:

EXT ? HOUSE ? NIGHT

Salomie knocks on a door. A women answers.

Women: Hello?

Salomie: Hello, I am Salomie.

Women: Who cares?

Salomie: Well, I need some information on a local employee from the police station you worked at. Do you remember Wallace Echolls?

The women's eyes widen.

Women: Come in.

Salomie walks in.

CUT TO:

INT ? WOMEN'S HOUSE ? NIGHT

Women: So, what do you want to know about Wallace?

Salomie: What did he do to you?

Women: Well, sexually assaulted me.

Salomie: No, specifically.

Women: Do you want a play by play or something?

Salomie: Sort of.

The Women laughs.

Women: Let me get a piece of paper.

Salomie: No, did he do anything to your hands?

Women: What?

Salomie: Did he?

Women: Yes. He licked my hands every day. In the station, he tried to slip a lick in. He always did it. A few times he bit it.

Salomie: Do you know what hand specifically?

Women: Why? Why do you want this?

Salomie: Just believe me. I need to know.

Women: You're a stranger to me! Why should I believe you?

Salomie: Please.

Women: The left hand. Is that all?

Salomie: Yes, I got it all. Thank you.

CUT TO:

INT ? CAR ? NIGHT

Salomie is driving while talking on the phone.

Salomie: Graham!

Graham: (Over Voice) Yeah? I got your message. My friends are out looking for the murderer now, specifically Wallace.

Salomie: They're looking for him? Oh god. He's the murderer. He has to be! He sexually assaulted that woman! He always licked her left hand, the hand that's always bit off on the victims. Sometimes he bit her hand.

Graham: (Over Voice) Oh god. I've got to save her.

Salomie: Then, go. Please, as fast as you can. Oh god, please.

CUT TO:

INT ? WAREHOUSE ? NIGHT

Melissa and Lain walk in. They see a body without her left hand. They then see Wallace with blood all over him. He smiles slightly.

Wallace: You caught me.

Melissa takes out her gun and points it at him.

Melissa: You're under arrest.

Wallace: Okay.

CUT TO:

EXT ? CAR ? NIGHT

Graham walks out of his cars. He's next to all the warehouses. He sees the one with the lights on in the distance and starts running towards it.

CUT TO:

INT ? WAREHOUSE ? NIGHT

Melissa has the gun pointed at Wallace.

Melissa: Lain, cuff him.

Lain walks behind Wallace with cuffs but Wallace elbow him. Melissa pulls the trigger but Wallace jumps out of the way. Wallace's tongue extends and throws Melissa back but Lain didn't see it. Lain gets up and throws Wallace back.

Lain: Stay away from her.

Lain points his gun at him but Wallace jumps onto him and punches him. He jumps off him and walks to Melissa. He grabs Melissa's throat.

Wallace: I liked you, I really did.

Graham jumps through the window and tackles Wallace. Wallace lets go of Melissa.

Graham: Stop that!

Graham punches him. Wallace punches Graham across the room. Lain stands up and start shooting but Wallace starts running across the room. Lain follows him and keeps shooting him. Once Wallace gets to Graham, Wallace picks him up and uses him as a shield.

Graham: Don't shoot!

But it all happened too fast. Lain shot Graham instead of Wallace. Lain is in shock.

Lain: Oh god.

Melissa: (who is still on the ground) No!

Wallace drops Graham onto the ground. Graham, with his last energy, grabs a piece of wood and stabs Wallace in the back as he's laughing. He stops and spits blood. He falls to the ground. Graham then closes his eyes and his head falls to the ground. Melissa stands up and runs to Graham. She has tears in her eyes.

Melissa: Oh god, Graham!

Melissa holds Graham but he doesn't wake up.

CUT TO:

INT ? HOSPITAL ROOM ? NIGHT

You just see two nurses.

Nurse #1: Yes, he's in a coma.

Nurse #2: Oh.

The camera zooms out and reveals that the patient in that room isn't Graham. It is someone random.

Nurse #2: I'm going to talk the people for Graham.

Nurse #1: Okay.

Nurse #2 walks out of the room into the lobby where Melissa, Lain, Riley, Salomie, and Sam are sitting. They stand up when she walks towards them.

Nurse #2: He is fine. We can let him go in a few hours.

They smile.

Nurse #2: He's a very lucky man. You don't have to wait; it will be a few hours.

Melissa: No, I'll wait.

CUT TO:

INT ? HOSPITAL LOBBY ? EARLY MORNING

It is around 1:00 AM. Melissa is almost asleep when Graham walks out of the hospital room.

Melissa: Graham!

Melissa runs to him and hugs him.

Melissa: Thank god you're all right.

Graham: I'm fine.

Melissa stops hugging him and just smiles at him.

Graham: Melissa, about tonight ?

Melissa: I don't want to know about tonight. I don't care. All I care about is you.

Melissa grabs him and they start kissing. The camera zooms out to show no one, except staff and Graham and Melissa, in the hospital and Graham and Melissa kissing.
