Break the rules.

Stop at nothing.

Be willing to have the world hate you,

because that is the only way...

that you'll get the story,

the facts and the fame.

Thank you.

- Excuse me. Excuse me.

- Yes?

So you're saying that we should

be ready to go out...

and cut each other's throats

because that's what you did.

- Metaphorically, yes.

- Well, tell me, Miss Weathers.

- Was it worth it?

- I'm so sorry. We're out of time.

Gale Weathers, anchor woman for

Total Entertainment.

Thank you very much!

There is a young man outside

who wants to see you.

- He says he's with the police.

- The police?

- Detective Mark Kincaid, L.A.P.D.

- Hello.

- That's quite an impressive resume.

- Thank you.

I assume you're not here

for an autograph.

I'm here because

Cotton Weary's been murdered.

- Someone killed Cotton?

- And his girlfriend.

Someone who left something

he wanted us to see.

I'll show you this because

you're the Woodsboro authority

and because you knew him.

But I promise you,

if you share this with the world,

it's you I'll be arresting.

I swear on my Pulitzer Prize, which

I plan to win one day, Detective.

This was left on Cotton Weary's body.

You have any idea who the girl might be?

Oh, my God.

This is Maureen Prescott.

This is Sidney Prescott's mother.

Hollywood is reeling today

from news...

of the murder of controversial

talkshow host Cotton Weary.

Weary had only recently finished

shooting a cameo as himself...

in the film

Stab 3, Return to Woodsboro...

the third and final part

of the famous horror series...

based on the Woodsboro

and Windsor College murders.

Before his rise to television fame,

Cotton had been imprisoned...

and was later exonerated for the murder

of Maureen Prescott, his former lover--

Just yesterday, Cotton Weary was

shooting here at Sunrise Studios...

his first cameo

in a feature film, Stab 3.

Security here is tight, but we'll see

if we can get a statement. Excuse me.

Always a controversial man--

Channel Eight news.

We gotta get in. We gotta get in.

No press beyond this point.

Alone at night

he crosses flames

Ashe makes a fist

with his red right hand

Look, you're worried about the movie,

then protect the movie, okay?

Hire more security. Hire the National

Guard.Just don't kill the movie.

Violence in cinema

is a big deal right now, Roman.

This is not the kind of news

this studio is after.

So if we stop making

scary movies, what?

All the psychos in the world

will retire? Come on.

I've been makin' horror movies for

He was your goddamn idea, guys.

All right?

An ex-con with a trashy talk show?

He must've pissed people off every day.
