EXT. CHARLESTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - DAY

A YELLOW SCHOOL BUS drives past the screen. We see a GROUP OF CHILDREN talking amongst themselves. There is a LITTLE GIRL, she is in a dress that has yellow flowers on a blue jean background. She is wearing a jean hat with yellow flowers around the bottom, to match her dress.

A SILVER VAN pulls up in front of the group of children.

POV - DRIVER OF VAN

THE LITTLE GIRL playing JUMP ROPE with her friends. They are all LAUGHING and having a good time.

CUT TO:

NEW ANGLE - ON VAN DRIVER

He looks like a Donnie Pfaster type... looks nice, but could be evil.... He's in his mid 40s, a business man.

BECKY, the little girl says good bye to her friends and gets into the VAN.

She holds up a PICTURE, colored with crayons. The PICTURE is of her and her father at the swimming pool.

The FATHER looks at it.

POV - MAN IN TRENCH COAT

We see the VAN DRIVE BY and a small glimpse of the LITTLE GIRL.

CUT TO:

EXT. BILLINTON RESIDENCE - DAY

We now see them driving up into a driveway. The house is white, two floors, a screened in porch, the garage door is closed. Very happy environment... like ARCADIA... with out the dark underbelly.

The VAN has come to a stop. BECKY runs out of the VAN, and is greeted by her MOTHER. The MOTHER is in her mid 30s, she is wearing a blue and white plaid skirt with a white blouse and an apron on.... she has been working in the kitchen.

The FATHER approaches them.

BECKY runs into the house and closes the door behind her.

We now know the father's name is TOM. The mother's name is JOANNE.

CUT TO:

INT. KITCHEN OF BILLINTON RESIDENCE

BECKY'S POV

She is watching her parents argue. We see that her father is angry, and he leaves. Her mother walks into the house, and shuts the door.

CUT TO:

INT. BILLINTON RESIDENCE - NIGHT - BECKY'S BEDROOM

POV - HALLWAY

We see JOANNE helping BECKY get ready for bed. They are on the bed. JOANNE is brushing BECKY'S hair. (**NOTE: The windows are closed and locked.**)

We pass a hand clock that reads 8:07. We cannot hear their conversation. We see JOANNE now tucking BECKY into bed. JOANNE turns off the lamp light that is next to the bed. JOANNE turns around at the door.

JOANNE walks down the stairs. Goes into the kitchen. We hear her run some water and the CLANKING of dishes.

CUT TO:

POV -A MAN

We are now in BECKY's room. The feeling is very TRANCE LIKE, done in REAL TIME... but seems SLOW MOTION. She is asleep. We notice that there are white curtains flapping in the wind of the open window. His shadow is now over her, BECKY now opens her eyes. The person puts out his hand to her, she takes it.

CUT TO:

INT. FOGGY PLACE WITH SWIMMING POOL

We realize that we are in her dreams. She is now dressed in a long white dress that is flowing in a light breeze. Her long hair is also flowing behind her. She is walking barefoot towards the SWIMMING POOL, like she is in a trance. The man, who we now see is TOM (her father), now is leading her to the pool.

SMASH CUT TO:

INT. KITCHEN OF HOUSE

We see that JOANNE is still doing dishes in the kitchen. She DROPS a dish.

going into Becky. This is done so we know that when the dish is dropped is when the first cut of the knife is going into Becky.

CUT TO:

INT. KITCHEN OF HOUSE

JOANNE is picking up the broken dish parts. We hear on O.S. SCREAM coming from Becky's room.

Joanne looks up to Becky's room. She runs up the stairs. The screaming has stopped.

POV - JOANNE

She opens the door to BECKY's bedroom. All is quiet. We see BECKY is laying there motionless. JOANNE walks closer to BECKY. We now see that BECKY is dead.

We see that the windows are locked from the inside, as they were before BECKY's dream... no one has been inside. With this, we:
