Learn to let go

[Tree hears the news about Tombs. Fearing that Lori will free him, as happened in the original dimension, Tree hurries to the hospital. She arms herself with a firefighter axe. As she enters Tombs' room, a security guard steps out of the restroom. He draws his gun and points it at Tree]

Police Officer: Drop the axe.

Tree Gelbman: Wait. I can expl...

Police Officer: Drop it now!

[Tree complies and raises her hands]

Tree Gelbman: He's escaped. He's gonna kill someone.

Police Officer: Face up against the wall.

Tree Gelbman: No, you don't understand. Lori let him...

Police Officer: [firmly] I'm not asking again!

[Tree complies. The guard kicks the axe away and begins handcuffing Tree]

Tree Gelbman: Please listen to me. My roommate works here. She set Tombs free because she's trying to blame him, but she's gonna kill me.

[the guard handcuffs Tree behind her back]

Police Officer: I don't know what kind of shit you're on, lady, but Tombs is down in the OR right now. A nurse just took him.

Tree Gelbman: Was she tall, dark hair and a ponytail?

Police Officer: [pulls Tree to the hallway] Let's go.

Tree Gelbman: I know you think I'm crazy, but you got to believe me!

Police Officer: [uses his radio] Dispatch, this is Officer Conroe. Have an 11-55 at the hospital. Need immediate assistance.

[while Tree and the guard walk though the hallway, a Bayfield Baby masked person attacks the guard, repeatedly stabbing him with a knife. Tree screams in horror and runs to the elevator. As the murderer finishes off the guard, he goes after Tree. She presses the button with her cuffed hands]

Tree Gelbman: Come on...

[nervously, Tree presses the button repeatedly. The masked murderer stands still, across the room. Tree is unsure whether it is Lori or Tombs]

Tree Gelbman: I know it's you, Lori!

[the elevator doors open. Lori is inside. She is stunned to see Tree and the murderer. Quickly, she pulls Tree to safety, inside the elevator]

Lori Spengler: What? Oh, my God!

[Lori presses repeatedly the button. They scream as the murderer runs to the elevator, but the doors close before he reaches]

Tree Gelbman: Oh, my God. I thought you were the...

Lori Spengler: Are you okay? What the hell is going on? Who was that?

Tree Gelbman: Tombs escaped. He's trying to kill me.

Lori Spengler: [shakes her head] No, Tree, that's not possible. I just took him down to the OR.

[the lights go off. The elevator stops]

Tree Gelbman: What's happening?

Lori Spengler: I-I don't know.

[Lori presses the emergency button, but nothing happens]

Tree Gelbman: Oh, my God, he cut the power.

Lori Spengler: [keeps pressing the emergency button] Just stay calm. Just stay calm. Shit!

[Lori thinks for a moment]

Lori Spengler: Okay. Come on.

[Lori manages to open the doors. She steps outside of the elevator]

Lori Spengler: Come on.

[Lori helps Tree to exit the elevator. They find themselves in a floor under construction]

[at the hospital, Tree and Lori escape from the Bayfield Baby masked murderer. While they are in the elevator, the lights suddenly go off. The elevator stops]

Tree Gelbman: What's happening?

Lori Spengler: I-I don't know.

[Lori presses the emergency button, but nothing happens]

Tree Gelbman: Oh, my God, he cut the power.

Lori Spengler: [keeps pressing the emergency button] Just stay calm. Just stay calm. Shit!

[Lori thinks for a moment]

Lori Spengler: Okay. Come on.

[Lori manages to open the doors. She steps outside of the elevator, which stopped slightly higher than the floor]

Lori Spengler: Come on.

[Lori helps Tree to exit the elevator. They find themselves in a deserted floor under construction]

Tree Gelbman: Where the hell are we?

Lori Spengler: This must be one of the floors under construction. Come on, there's an emergency exit on the other end.

[they walk down the corridor. Tree notices a sledgehammer leaning up against a wall]

Tree Gelbman: Wait. Grab that.

Lori Spengler: [picks the sledgehammer up] Okay. Come on.

[Tree and Lori continue walking down the corridor, Lori leading the way. Suddenly Tree detects a rustling and a movement behind the plastic drapes. Lori stops]

Tree Gelbman: What? Did you hear something?

[Lori turns back to Tree, a painful expression on her face. She looks down to a knife sticking from the stomach. Blood starts to ooze from Lori's mouth and she collapses, dead. Tree gasps in horror. The murderer appears and picks up the sledgehammer]

Tree Gelbman: [enraged] All right, asshole, let's see what you got!

[the murderer swings the sledgehammer at Tree, but she evades the blow. The sledgehammer is buried in the wall. Before the murderer can get it loose, Tree runs away. She spots an emergency exit. As the murderer nearly catches her, Tree open the door with her right shoulder and moves out of the way. The momentum of the attack makes the murderer stumble through the door, and down the stairwell, dropping the sledghammer]

Tree Gelbman: Ha!

[the murderer recovers faster than Tree expected, and climbs the stairs back]

Tree Gelbman: Shit!

[Tree runs upstairs. The murderer picks up the sledgehammer and runs after her. Tree opens a door, and finds herself on the roof. She hurries away from the murderer, keeping an eye on him, but fails to notice she advances toward the edge of the roof until she falls screaming to her death. The day resets. As happened so many times before, Tree finds herself in Carter's bed]

Tree Gelbman: [chides herself for being so careless] Rookie move, Tree.

Carter Davis: Oh, hey. You're up.

Tree Gelbman: What dimension am I in?

Carter Davis: [puzzled] Huh?

Tree Gelbman: Danielle.

Carter Davis: Uh, my girlfriend?

Tree Gelbman: [grunts] Same one.
