FADE IN:

TITLE SEQUENCE:

1INT. BOSTON - OLD NORTH CHURCH - DAY

The setting sun backlights a series of abstract colored images. Holy

images of STAINED GLASS and lead.

FOOTSTEPS ECHO across the marble floor.

REVEAL - JULIE JAMES

A little older, a little wiser, yet still very pretty, no doubt. But

she's all alone in the house of the Lord.

And those doleful eyes of hers clearly telegraph a very heavy burden

still rests upon her soul.

She reluctantly walks past the rows of empty pews toward a curtained

CONFESSIONAL BOOTH.

2INT. CONFESSIONAL BOOTH - DAY

Julie slides the drapes shut behind her as she enters, kneeling before

the CLOSED SCREEN. A beat -- and the SCREEN SLIDES OPEN.

A PRIEST:

enters the adjacent booth -- barely visible through the WICKER MESH.

Julie looks down, crosses herself, and begins.

JULIE:

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

(a beat)

It's been a year since my last

confession...

Julie swallows hard. This is difficult for her.

JULIE (cont'd)

I've never told anyone this. Not my

mom, not the poice, not even my

friends -- except for the ones who

were there and they...well they're

not around anymore. You see I...I...

PRIEST:

Yes?

JULIE:

I killed a man. Well, I thought I

had...then...

She balks at the memory of it. The priest bows his head in the shadows

of the other side.

JULIE (cont'd)

(emotional)

You've got to understand...It was

all an accident. A terrible accident.

It's been a whole year. I've tried to

get past this, but I just can't.

PRIEST:

Go on...

JULIE:

I have these dreams...horrible

dreams. And this man is always there

with me.

PRIEST:

(reassuring)

I know...

JULIE:

You see, he was a killer. He

murdered Helen and Barry, and he

would have killed me too, if I

hadn't...gotten away with it.

(regathering)

I don't know, I guess I just need to

deal with the fear, the guilt...to

finally say his name. Ben Willis. His

name was Ben Willis...

The confession is cathartic for Julie. She looks relieved until,

PRIEST:

I know...

Julie stops. Looks through the screen. A chill shoots through her

body.

JULIE:

You know? But how could you...

Clouds of icy steam shoot through the partition. Julie moves closer to

the screen, trying to get a better look.

PRIEST:

(growls)

I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER!!!

A STEEL HOOK:

smashes through the screen right in Julie's face! She SCREAMS!

SMASH CUT TO:

3INT. COLLEDGE LECTURE HALL - DAY

Still screaming -- Julie jumps back, seemingly knocked out of her

chair. She fights the unseen demon.

Sitting beside her, Julie's friend WILL BENSON reacts. He's a good-

looking kid in a shy, humble kind of way. And he tries to help her,

but she's too busy turning ten shades of red.

The PROFESSOR lowers his glasses, makes it even worse.

PROFESSOR:

Nice to see you find Political

Science so stimulating --

The lecture hall erupts with laughter.

JULIE:

I'm sorry --

Julie grabs her stuff and bolts.

CUT TO:

4EXT. CAMPUS - DAY

Julie explodes out of the building. Hurries down a sidewalk. Will

finally catches up.

WILL:

Julie! Wait! You okay?

JULIE:

I'm fine.

WILL:

You sure?

JULIE:

I'm fine.

WILL:

You don't seem fine.

Julie realizes this is true.

JULIE:

I had another dream, Will.

Will takes this seriously.

WILL:

The shower again?

JULIE:

It was in a church...it was so real.

I mean, I could feel his breath on me.

WILL:

(caring)

I'm sorry.

JULIE:

I thought I was over the dreams for

good. I really did. I hadn't had one

for months.

WILL:

It just takes time, Julie. It's gonna

get better.

JULIE:

It can't get worse. I mean, it's not

like this was the first time I

freaked out in class. I hardly ever

get a full night's sleep, my grades

suck, I'm this close from being thrown

out of school.

BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! EXPLOSIONS. Julie jumps out of her skin. It's just

STUDENTS letting off FIRECRACKERS as they fly past on bicycles.

Will and Julie are now thinking the same thing.

JULIE:

(cont'd)

It was one year ago...

WILL:

It's...the anniversary. That's what's

going on...Take it easy on yourself.

JULIE:

(weary)

I'm trying. I really am...Sometimes I

don't even know why I came up here in

the first place.

WILL:

(cheering her up)

To get out of Southport?

JULIE:

(softens)

Right. Now I remember.

He smiles at her. She smiles back. They stop in front of her apartment

building.

JULIE (cont'd)

Are you getting out of town on the

fourth?

WILL:

Nah. I'll probably just be here

studying for finals. The joys of

summer school...

(beat)

Are you okay?

JULIE:

I'm okay.

WILL:

Are you sure?

She touches his face affectionately.

JULIE:

Thanks for the talk, Will. You're

good to me.

Will stands there akwardly --

WILL:

Um...Okay. Bye.

Will walks away. Julie watches him a beat, then turns down her walk --

RAY:

steps out of the shadows. Julie practically faints.

JULIE:

Oh, my god, Ray. You scared me.

Recovering, she hugs Ray, genuinely glad to see him. He's a bit cold.

RAY:

I got in early. I was excited...

(re:
the receding Will)

Who was that guy?

JULIE:

Oh, that's Will. He's a friend.

You'd like him.

RAY:

Yeah.

JULIE:

Ray, we're just friend.

RAY:

Every guy in history who tried to

pick up a girl did the good-friend

thing first.

JULIE:

Why are you being like this?

It should be obvious Ray feels insecure in the college environs, but

they're miscommunicating.

RAY:

Hey, I'm sorry. You're right. Are

you ready to go? I've got the old

truck. You know the drill...Crab

boil at Ollie's. Croaker Queen

Pageant...It's only small-town fun,

but it's still nice. People really

miss you. I miss you.
