Halloween: The Series 1X02: The search for Micheal Myers Part 2
By aragorn_8
Halloween: The Series.
Episode Two: The Search for Michael Myers Part Two.
The opening shows a garage in the middle of nowhere, a lot like the one in Halloween 4. We cut to inside where a black van is parked next to a two cars; a garage worker is seen brushing up around it. WORKER checks that no one is around and goes over to a car and opens the door. He leans in and looks about.
WORKER: What have we got here then?
He takes an expensive looking watch and stuffs it in his pocket he then closes the door and approaches the van. He checks around and no one is there. He tries the handles to the back of the van but they are locked. He wanders over and grabs a small piece of wire.
WORKER: We all got to make a living.
He begins to pick the lock, constantly looking around with fear of being caught. Suddenly we here a click as he unlocks it and he grins.
WORKER: Let’s see what we got in here then.
He swings the doors open and looks in. It looks empty about from a large bundle in a corner. He approaches it; it seems to be moving.
WORKER: What on earth?
He pulls back the sheets to reveal THE SHAPE.
WORKER: Holy…
He is cut off as Michael grabs him by the throat and smashes his face into the ground. The man cries out in main as Michael smashes his head against the wall of the van again and again.
We cut to outside the van where we see the MIB approaching. Suddenly Worker is thrown out the back of the van; a knife buried in his back and his face a bloody mess. The MIB turns to a figure behind him.
MIB: It’s wearing off. We better move on.
He goes over to the van and closes the doors and locks them. Michael is left in darkness and the screen goes blank.
The Halloween theme begins to play as the camera rises up over Haddonfield. A Jack-o-Lantern appears, an evil grin on it, and the titles come up:
HALLOWEEN: The Series.
The music becomes a very rock and roll like version of the music and various images from the series fly up. The cast characters are named as Tommy Doyle, Debra Loomis and Pete James.
We open with a shot of a garage in Haddonsfield. In side we see figures attacking Tommy and Debra whilst Pete is knocked to the floor. We then cut to a previously seen scene. Debra yells as she ducks another swing of a chain.
DEBRA: Bastard.
She grabs the butcher knife from the dead guy and pulls it out. The body falls onto the thug making him loose balance. Debra takes the opportunity to swipe at him with the knife; cutting a gash in his arm. The thug cries in agony and pulls off a glove to stop the wound.
THUG: Bitch.
As she tries to attack again he blocks her and twists her arm. She yelps and drops the knife. He pushes her away to the floor and picks up the knife. As she looks up he is standing over her, bloodied knife in hand.
THUG: This’ll only hurt for a moment.
He leans down and grips her hair, yanking her head back. She screams as he brings the knife to her throat. Suddenly a gunshot goes off and he drops the knife and falls back yelling in agony; he has been shot in the arm and blood is leaking out the wound. Behind him we see Pete getting up holding his gun.
PETE: Get the Hell away from her!
The other hug rushes into Pete and knocks him down. Realising they’re beaten the two of them flee. Pete jumps up and runs outside to see a black car with darkened windows pulling away.
PETE: Damn it.
He wanders back inside where Debra is helping Tommy up off the floor.
DEBRA: Did they…
PETE: Get away? Yeah, afraid so. Now can either of you tell me who the hell they were?
TOMMY: I don’t know; I have no idea. Who they were or why they attacked us.
DEBRA: Do you think they have anything to do with Michael?
TOMMY: I don’t know.
PETE: Any one see anything that could give us a clue as to who they were?
DEBRA: One of them has a cut and gunshot wound; other than that I’m afraid not.
TOMMY: Same here.
PETE: We better go and report this.
TOMMY: Lieutenant, we have to get after Michael. Let Debra make a call and we can get out of here.
DEBRA: Tommy is right. The fact that they attacked us may indicate we are on to something. We have to go now.
PETE: Alright already, lets not all gang up on me. Make the call and we can go.
We cut to the Town Hall where Sheriff Cody is seen talking to one of his deputy’s. We go close up of a young Secretary sitting at a desk filling in some forms. His phone starts to ring and he picks it. We hear Pete’s voice but what he is saying isn’t that clear.
SECRETARY: Hello?
Pete speaks for a few moments when the Secretary interrupts.
SECRETARY: If you hold on a moment…
Pete continues. As he speaks the Secretary scribbles something down on a scrap piece of paper.
SECRETARY: Well… I’ll tell him…
The line goes dead and the Secretary hangs up the phone. He gets up from his desk and dashes over to Sheriff Cody.
SECRETARY: Sheriff.
CODY: What is it? Can’t you see I’m busy here?
SECRETARY: Officer Pete James just called in; says there’s been a murder at this address.
He hands Cody the paper.
CODY: What else did he say? Is he waiting at the crime scene?
SECRETARY: He said you should go soon but he wouldn’t be there. He said he was going out of town to follow up a clue.
CODY: Damn him, he should of checked with me first. We’ll catch up to him eventually; first let’s visit this address.
We cut to Tommy, Debra and Pete driving out of town. They are obviously in a hurry as they push the vehicle to the limit in order to try and catch up with Michael’s mysterious abductors. Tommy is driving with Debra in the passenger seat; Pete is in the middle seat in the rear.
DEBRA: Pete, you got the map?
PETE: Right here.
He starts unfolding a large map on the back seat, we see it shows the Haddonfield area. Pete traces his finger along a route and then turns west towards a small cluster of buildings.
DEBRA: How long do you think it’ll take to reach the place?
PETE: I’m not sure. The road doesn’t seem to be used much; I’m guessing it isn’t very well maintained.
TOMMY: We have to get there before they leave.
PETE: Whoever they are.
TOMMY: Yes, that has got me intrigued actually. But that isn’t the important thing at the moment; Jamie is our main concern, we can’t let anything happen to her.
DEBRA: Tommy I’m sure they won’t have harmed her; they could have left her for dead at the police station.
TOMMY: And Michael? Why wouldn’t he harm her? He’s tried to kill her twice already, isn’t that true Pete?
PETE: I thought we had him the first time. We thought we’d buried him in Hell; some luck. That girl hasn’t led a normal life since that night.
We flash to images of a terrified Jamie. Then we see her looking in the mirror from H4 and seeing the reflection of a young Michael; this cuts to her running down streets screaming as Michael follows. We then see her in the hospital having a fit and scribbling a picture of Max on the wall.
As the images flash by we also get shots of Michael’s mask on occasion. When this ends we cut back to Pete, Tommy and Debra in the car.
TOMMY: How can you live a normal life after the boogieman comes for you?
DEBRA: I guess Michael rattled your cage a little.
TOMMY: You could say that. All the kids at school went on about him, especially Lonnie; I was terrified that night. But it was only the beginning of the madness; I have the feeling he’ll haunt Haddonfield for a long while yet.
PETE: We have to make sure that doesn’t happen.
We cut back as the car continues to drive along. The camera pans around to show another car, one with blacked out windows, following close behind. The camera zooms in on it.
Inside the car we see the back of a figure driving, he is wearing jet-black gloves. A mobile phone rings and he reaches down to pick it up. From behind we see him place it to his ear.
FIGURE: Hello.
The voice is obviously male. Babble is heard from the phone, we can’t make out what is being said.
FIGURE: I think I may have found them. I’ll let you know as soon as I’m sure.
A long pause.
FIGURE: Yes, of course.
He hangs up and puts the phone away as he continues to drive on.
Evening is beginning to approach and it is obvious some time has passed. We see that Tommy is still driving whilst Debra sleeps in the passenger seat. Pete leans forward.
PETE: Tommy, weren’t we meant to make that turn?
TOMMY: I don’t think so, no. Look at that map, this is the way.
PETE: Haven’t you got it upside down?
Tommy sees that he has; irritated he tosses it in the back.
TOMMY: Look, I know where I’m going. Pause. I think.
Pete rolls his eyes. Debra sits up awake.
DEBRA: You two are bickering enough to wake the dead. Look, there’s a gas station ahead. We can ask for directions there.
PETE: Debra does it again.
We see the car pulling into the Gas station. We realise it is the one from the start of the episode! Tommy and Debra get out, followed by Pete. Debra goes over to the entrance.
DEBRA: Hello?
She goes to turn the doors handle but it just swings open. She turns and looks at Tommy.
DEBRA: Seems abandoned.
PETE: No way has this place been closed down. Look at the stock, it’s obviously running.
TOMMY: Just empty.
They wander into the main room, everything looks in place. Pete goes over to a door and swings it open; it leads to a garage where a car is parked.
PETE: Through here.
They walk into the dimly lit room.
PETE: Can’t we have any light in here?
DEBRA: I’ve tried them, they’re not working.
PETE: Just great.
We see the three of them begin to search the garage. Tommy goes over to a bench covered in tools. Debra finds a filing cabinet and slides it open; she begins to shift through the files. Pete approaches the car and tries the handle. It is locked.
As Tommy searches across the workbench he comes to a large knife. He picks it up and on examination realises it is stained with a dark liquid, possibly blood. He looks over his shoulder towards the others.
TOMMY: Guys…
DEBRA: What is it Tommy?
TOMMY: I think I’ve found something.
Debra and Pete come over to him and he shows them the knife. Pete takes it from him.
TOMMY: You think it’s blood?
PETE: Well, I couldn’t tell you for sure but I’d place money on it. Of course this doesn’t mean anything, someone might have just cut themselves doing some work on a car.
DEBRA: Must have been a bad cut.
TOMMY: But what if they did bring Michael this way. Something could have happened.
DEBRA: Look.
They turn to see her hunched on the floor by the car, the concrete is stained with blood. She then stands up and looks at the car boot.
DEBRA: Blood. It’s on the handle of the boot too.
PETE: Damn.
He picks up a long metal rod off the bench and goes over to Debra. He begins to try and force the boot open.
PETE: Tommy, give me a hand here.
Tommy grabs a sharp tool and goes over and begins to aid Pete. There is a click and the boot swings up. Debra gasps and Tommy and Pete step back.
PETE: God…
We see the body of the Worker, brutally killed, stuffed into the boot of the car. Blood has formed a small pool in the base of the boot. Debra turns away as Pete shuts the boot.
PETE: Tommy?
TOMMY: Yeah, I think it was Michael. And I’d say we are going the right way.
We see Debra notice something. She approaches a wall where a map is mounted. She puts her finger onto Haddonfield and traces it along until she comes to the gas station.
DEBRA: You two, I’ve found a map.
PETE: Good work Debra.
Tommy points at a small built up area not far from their present location.
TOMMY: That’s it, that’s where we’re heading.
PETE: Ok then, I say we head on. It’s getting late, I’d wager they plan to head on under the cover of dark.
DEBRA: Which means we better hurry.
TOMMY: Alright, let’s go.
The three of them head out and back to the car, we see the sun setting in the distance.
We cut to a section or road just back from the Gas Station. The car that was following them earlier is parked on the roadside, the driver is standing next to it. He is heavily shadowed so we can’t see much of him though we do get the impression that he is probably dark skinned. He reaches into his car and takes out his phone and begins to dial. It rings for a while and then we here a familiar sounding voice on the other end.
VOICE: Hello?
FIGURE: It’s confirmed. It is them, they’re heading towards a group of old factories just off Route 592. What do you want me to do?
VOICE: Nothing. You’ve done enough finding them for me. Thanks old friend.
FIGURE: My pleasure.
He cuts the line and gets back in his car.
We cut back to the Town Hall in Haddonfield. We see Cody hanging up his phone! He then turns to his Secretary.
CODY: Get anyone available to meet me down stairs.
SECRETARY: At once Sheriff.
Cody gets up and takes his gun from his draw. He then turns and leaves the room. The secretary watches him go and then turns back to give Cody’s message.
We see Sue and Garry walking past the Town Hall. Suddenly three police cars pull up. They see Cody and several others climb in before the cars drive off with sirens blaring.
SUE: What do you think that was all about?
GARRY: Don’t ask me.
We cut back to Tommy, Pete and Debra. A long shot reveals they are approaching the factory; it looks very rundown. It is now very dark and the cars headlights cut though the blackness. As they get close the lights go off. They pull up outside.
TOMMY: Well, we’re here.
DEBRA: Why did we cut the lights? I can barely see a thing.
PETE: So, hopefully, they didn’t see us coming.
DEBRA: Assuming they’re still here.
TOMMY: I think they are. Look.
DEBRA: Where?
TOMMY: Over there.
DEBRA: I can’t see anything, it’s too dark.
PETE: I see it.
As her eyes adjust to the dark we begin to make out the image of the Black Van. It is parked up next to a fire exit. The doorway is swinging open.
PETE: Looks like we’ve found our way in. This is where it gets dangerous. Debra, take this.
He hands her his spare gun and holds up his own.
TOMMY: What about me?
PETE: Sorry Tommy, I only have two. Just stick close, we’ll be fine.
The three of them get out of the car and creep over to the entrance to the factory. Pete quickly checks the van but it’s empty. He nods to the others and they creep inside.
They find themselves in a vast room, the ceiling far above them. The room is literally a maze of machinery and packing crates which seems to stretch in all directions.
DEBRA: Needle in a haystack mean anything to either of you two?
PETE: Just try and think positively.
The three of them creep forward in the darkness. Pete suddenly indicates for them to stop. Tommy goes to say something but Pete quickly indicates for him to shut up. Pointing ahead they see a figure standing with his back to them. He is holding a large gun and wearing long, black robes. A shape is seen sitting by the figure and wrapped in blankets.
Pete indicates for the others to stay back as he approaches the figure. As he gets near he knocks a crate causing a number of chains to clutter to the floor. The figure spins around.
FIGURE2: What the..?
Pete dives at him knocking them both to the floor. With a swift punch to the jaw the figure is out cold. Tommy and Debra run over to him as he gets up.
DEBRA: Are you alright?
PETE: Luckily.
Suddenly we hear a number of sobs coming from beneath the blankets. Pete and Debra turn to see a hunched figure. Tommy goes over and crouches down.
TOMMY: Hello. It’s alright, you’re safe.
The figure lifts their head up and we see the face of Jamie Lloyd looking up at Tommy!
DEBRA: Oh my god…
PETE: Jamie Lloyd.
TOMMY: Jamie are you alright?
She doesn’t reply. Tears fill her eyes and she sobs more. She doesn’t seem entirely aware of the others. Debra crouches down next to Tommy.
DEBRA: What’s wrong?
TOMMY: I’m not sure. She seems.. distant.
Debra looks over her, opens up her eyes and stuff. Jamie seems completely unresponsive as if she didn’t even know they were there.
DEBRA: I think she’s been drugged. We have got to get her out of here.
Tommy leans close into Jamie.
TOMMY: Jamie. Jamie, can you hear me? We’re taking you home.
Something seems to register and she looks up at Tommy.
JAMIE: H.. Home?
TOMMY: Yes. Home, Jamie, home.
PETE: Here, let me.
Pete steps forward and picks Jamie up in his arms.
DEBRA: So, what do we do about…
Her words tail off. They turn to see that the person who was guarding Jamie has vanished.
TOMMY: We have to go.
We close up on Jamie and the screen flashes white.
Jamie is shown a few years younger looking up at a figure whose face is blurred. This is a memory and the images are all disjointed. The figure voice seems obvious though; it is Laurie Strode, Jamie’s mother.
LAURIE: We have to go.
JAMIE: Why can’t I come?
LAURIE: You just can’t. You have to stay here with your father. I’ll see you next weekend.
JAMIE: Promise?
LAURIE: I…
Laurie hesitates and looks down sadly.
JAMIE: Mommy?
LAURIE: You’ll always be my little girl. Goodbye Jamie.
She turns and goes. Jamie cries out after her.
JAMIE: Mommy!
From Jamie’s P.O.V we move to a window. Looking out we see Laurie and a young boy climbing into a car. The car pulls away. The P.O.V turns and we see a young woman looking down at Jamie.
WOMAN: I know it’s hard Jamie. But she’s got a new family now. And me and your father want to start one as well.
The screen flashes white and we are back with Tommy, Debra, Pete and Jamie. Pete is ahead of the others and they are nearing the exit. Suddenly we here a sound behind the crates and everyone freezes.
DEBRA: What was that?
TOMMY: I’m not sure.
He tries to listen but hears nothing.
PETE: Come on, let’s go.
He goes to move forward when, accompanied by his usual sound effect, the Shape lunges out of the shadows towards Pete. Tommy and Debra gasp in surprise as Pete is knocked back to the floor with Jamie.
TOMMY: Michael…
Michael stands facing them, blocking their only exit. Pete clambers up next to him, Jamie sitting and sobbing.
PETE: Run!
Michael turns to face the police officer and grabs him by the throat. Debra starts to rush to his aid but Tommy holds her back.
DEBRA: Pete!
TOMMY: Debra, no! There’s nothing we can do!
Michael picks the choking Pete off the floor and slams him against the crates behind him. We close up on a sobbing Jamie. Tommy and Debra run off, Debra looks back reluctantly but Tommy pulls her on.
PETE: Basta…
His voice is cut off as Michael’s grip strengthens. Michael slams Pete up against the crates again causing the cop to cough up a small amount of blood. Again we close up on Jamie.
Tommy and Debra are seen fleeing through the maze of crates. Debra suddenly stops.
DEBRA: No, we have to go back.
TOMMY: That’s Michael Myers. Your Uncle would tell you to run because that is all you can do. Now come on!
The Halloween Theme is playing as Michael reaches out with his free hand and grasps a long piece of wood; he easily snaps it leaving a jagged edge. Close up on Jamie. Pete stares down into Michael’s blank eyes. Michael brings the jagged piece of wood up. Close up on Jamie who is now looking up and watching in fear. Close up on Pete’s eyes, also full of terror. Michael stabs the piece of wood through Pete and pins him to the packing crate. Michael lets go and Pete hangs there. Michael tilts his head slowly before turning to look in the direction Tommy and Debra went. He heads off. As he goes we see two robed figures enter the building and grab Jamie. They wrench her up and drag her outside.
We see Tommy and Debra sitting amongst the crates.
TOMMY: I don’t think he’s following us now.
DEBRA: Good.
She seems distant and upset.
DEBRA: Pete was still alive and we ran away. We left him to die at the hands of one of the most brutal serial killers in the world.
TOMMY: Debra, there was nothing we could do. But now we know both Michael and Jamie are alive; someone is trying to take them somewhere and we have to discover where.
DEBRA: Why would anyone try to hide them? I don’t understand what they want.
TOMMY: We will find out. We will.
Suddenly his eyes widen in fear. The camera spins around to show that the shadow of the Shape is being cast across the crates. As Tommy and Debra jump up the dark form of Michael Myers appears around the corner. They instantly turn and run, Tommy goes to run right but Debra grabs his arm.
DEBRA: This way!
They run through the crates as Michael follows, stalking music playing. As they run they keep glancing back to see The Shape not far behind. Turning a corner they find themselves in a dead end ending in a doorway. Tommy runs up and tries to open it.
TOMMY: It’s locked!
DEBRA: What?
We cut to Michael making his way towards the bend they just went around. Tommy grabs a fire extinguisher off of the wall and begins to batter the door handle.
DEBRA: Hurry!
Michael turns the corner and faces them. Tommy looks up and stares right at the Shape; he does that familiar twitch as Michael begins to move forward.
DEBRA: Tommy!
Tommy continues smashing at the door as Michael gets closer and closer. It suddenly shatters and the door swings open. They dash through it and Debra slams it shut behind her. Michael carries on forward.
Tommy and Debra find themselves in a small room with a ladder on the far wall as the only way out.
TOMMY: This must lead to the roof, come on.
Tommy begins to climb and Debra starts up behind him. Suddenly the door swings open to reveal the Shape! Tommy lets out a small yelp and starts to climb faster. Michael goes to grab Debra’s ankle but she just manages to get out of reach in time.
DEBRA: Tommy! Hurry!
Michael grips hold of the ladder and begins to climb up after them. Tommy looks down, fear in his eyes, until a push from Debra gets him moving again. Michael is climbing quite fast considering how calm he is and is definitely gaining on them.
DEBRA: He’s catching up!
Tommy and Debra reach the top of the ladder; it is a small balcony with a door in one wall. Michael is nearly upon them.
DEBRA: Come on Tommy, let’s go!
Tommy yanks the door open and they run out onto the roof of the building. The night is dark and a loud wind blows around them; a full moon is shining down. They look around but there seems to be no way off of the roof.
DEBRA: Oh god…
TOMMY: There has to be a way down!
They run to the edge and look down to where Tommy’s car is parked.
We see Michael walk out onto the roof, in his right hand he carries a jagged piece of glass. Tommy and Debra turn and see him coming towards them.
DEBRA: Split up!
They reach run a separate way and Michael stops for a moment, unsure as to who to follow. Then he seems to sense something, we close up on his eyes and an image of Doctor Loomis flashes up. The Shape then turns and stalks after Debra. Tommy sees this and stops running.
Debra is at the edge of the roof and Michael is advancing on her, his mask shining in the moonlight.
DEBRA: Get away from me you bastard!
Michael raises his weapon in order to go for the kill when we here running from behind him.
TOMMY: Debra! Move!
Michael spins around to find Tommy running into him, shoulder first and striking him in the chest. Debra jumps aside as the force of the blow sends Michael stumbling backwards… and over the edge! We see fall from the roof down and smashing into the ground; he is knocked out cold. Tommy runs over to Debra.
TOMMY: You alright?
DEBRA: Barely. That was too close.
They walk over to the edge and look down at Michael.
DEBRA: How long do you think he’ll be out? Long enough for us to get him back to Haddonfield?
TOMMY: I’m not sure…
He stops as suddenly the Black Van spins around the corner. It stops by Myers and three men jump out and lift him into the back of the van. The MIB steps out and looks up at Tommy and Debra. He stares for a few moments before getting back in the van; the engine revs and they head off away from the factory.
TOMMY: Come on!
Tommy, followed closely by Debra, dashes back to the ladder.
As the Black Vans heads off we see a number of Cop cars advancing on the Factory.
Tommy and Debra run out of the Factory entrance and straight into a number of police officers.
TOMMY: What on…
Another Cop runs up behind them in a panic.
PANIC COP: Deputy James is dead!
Sheriff Cody walks up to Debra and Tommy.
CODY: You’re going to have to come with us.
DEBRA: But Michael Myers is getting away!
TOMMY: We have to go after them!
CODY: I’ve had enough of this crap! We’re going back to Haddonfield.
The camera pans out as a defeated Tommy and Debra are put in the back of a Cop Car.
We fade into the image of the Black Van driving along a long stretch a road, it passes a sign reading “You are now Leaving Illinois”.
