Welcome home, Sidney. We've been waiting for you.
Thanks for coming alone. It makes it so much easier that you followed the rules.
Stop this shit. If you're Stu, show yourself!
Where am I? Can you find me? [Multiple screens around the house switch on themselves, each of them showing Stu speaking to Sidney] It's not really me. You want to know who I really am?
Remember me? I'll never forgive you for what you did to my son.
And you know what? I would do it again and again.
Your mother destroyed my life. But let's face it. She destroyed you, too, in the same way that you've destroyed your own daughter.
**** whoever you are!
Over here. It's me, sis! Do you want to make a movie? Oh. How about a scary one? I've been working on this great script. Come on, Sid. We're family. It really comes down to family, doesn't it, Sid? I mean, we both know how far we’d go for our own family.
And friends, of course. But all your friends die for just being near you. I died for you, Sidney. Doesn’t that mean anything to you?
Where is my daughter?
I thought I’d go back to where it all started. A phone call, a girl, and someone she cares about tied to a chair outside of her house.
Tatum, baby, I'm sorry. Just...what do you want from me? Please tell me. [Ghostface takes off the mask to reveal himself to be Marco] You.
Yeah, me. Well, me and Karl.
Karl is dead.
Mm-hm. And I would be, too, but your daughter missed my head. [Speaks closer to Tatum] You've always got to shoot them in the head. Isn't that right, Stu? [Another Ghostface steps outside and stands behind Tatum, holding a knife to her head] I'll be right back.
Mark. [Marco points a knife at Sidney to prevent her from moving] Okay.
Look at that! He's still alive. That is a tough mother****er.
**** you! [The Ghostface standing next to Tatum takes off the mask, revealing herself to be Jessica Bowden] Jessica? What?
Hi, neighbor. How you holding up?
You didn't really think it was Stu? Because that'd be dumb. Stu's dead. You know, alive in spirit, but...dead. See, I have a background in A.I.. I was a Google security specialist once upon a time, before Fallbrook.
Bringing Stu back was my idea.
No, no, no, no, it was my idea.
No, I just let you think it was your idea.
Jessica, please, what are you doing?
"Oh, Jessica. Oh, please. Oh, what are you doing?" God, I don’t recognize you. I mean, what happened to you? You know, you’ve really let me down, Sid.
Listen to me. This isn’t you. Whatever this is, there’s another way.
Oh, I know. There’s always another way. [Steps over Mark, who, unknown to the killers, slowly begins using a knife to cut Tatum free] You taught me that. It’s in your book. You saved my life, Sidney. Before you ruined it. You know about my abusive marriage, right? I was really trapped, and I couldn’t see a way out. But then I read "Out of Darkness" by Sidney Prescott.
Oh, it's such a great book.
And then I realized that your life, it comes down to one simple truth: Sidney Prescott kills the bad guy. That’s your purpose. You are a real-life scream queen, the final girl. God, you inspire me! So I started planning and doing Pilates, and then I pulled a Sidney and I killed my husband! [Chuckles] I got away with it, too. And I had you to thank for it. [Immediately gets angry] But then you went away, Sid! And you didn’t go to New York. A Ghostface attack doesn’t count if you’re not there. You disappeared. Why, Sidney?
I wanted people to see there was life after trauma.
But there isn't for you! Trauma is your life. When you disappeared, do you know how much that hurt me? I mean, I couldn’t **** handle it! I checked myself into a facility.
Fallbrook. That's where we met.
Okay, I’m talking, so don’t interrupt me, okay? Great. [Starts thinking] ****. Where the **** was I? Shit. ****! New York. Pilates. You disappeared.
Fallbrook.
Fallbrook. Fallbrook, yes! It was the closest psychiatric center that I could find because I had to be near you. And that finally brings us to tonight.
Okay, Jessica, you’re right, I’ve been selfish. I can do better. We can start over.
I am starting over...by killing you. No more baggage. I am releasing it all. [Walks back over to Tatum]
What about Lucas? You have a son.
Oh, no, no. He’s gone, Sid. I mean, he was too much like his father. And now, I can have a new beginning. [Taps Tatum's head and smiles, giving the hint that she's planning to take Tatum for herself] Do you think that you’ve been a good mother to Tatum? I mean, you really haven’t taught her anything useful. [To Marco] Am I right? [Marco scoffs] You’ve kept the survivor all to yourself. But that’s okay, because I’m gonna teach her. She’s gonna watch her mother die, just like you did. The cycle continues.
You see, it finally dawned on me. I don’t need you. I mean, none of us do. Let’s face it, you’re kind of past your prime for a final girl. I’m creating Sidney 2.0.. Watch closely, Tatum.
[Before Jessica can do anything, Sidney, having accepted that Jessica is just as selfish and irredeemable as every other Ghostface she has faced, silently nods to Tatum, who, having actually been untied by Mark, attacks Jessica by head-butting her in the face, while Sidney takes out another gun from behind and shoots Marco in the head, killing him instantly. Tatum attacks Jessica with the chair she was tied to, breaking it and fully freeing herself, forcing a stunned Jessica to push Tatum away and flee into the garage]
