EXT. Reapers curve
    Driving along the highway , driving very dangerously .

EXT. SouthPort beach
    The four friends are on the beach .
    Ray
    So the boy and girl are making out right? When they hear over the radio that this lunatic killer's escaped from an insane asylum, he gots this long sharp hook for a hand.
    Barry
    No, you're telling it wrong.
    Ray
    Shut Up! So the girl, she gets all scared right? And the boy, all hot and bothered, he gets pissed and peels out.
    Barry
    No, no, no no. That's not the way it goes, okay the boy goes for help and the girl stays in the car and she hears this scratching sound.
    Helen
    ( interupting . )
    It's not a scratching sound, it's a drip, drip, drip.
    Barry
    No. its scartching because the guys been hung from a tree limb and his feet are scratching on the roof of the car.
    Helen
    No, he's been decapitated and it's the blood for his severed neck that's dripping on the car going drip, drip, drip.
    Julie
    No he was n't decapitated, he was gutted with a hook. That's the way I heard it.
    Ray
    You're all wrong, they get back to the girls house and find the lunatics bloody hook in the car door. Now that's the original story, that's the way it really happened.
    Barry
    Hey, hey none of it really happened, it's a bullshit ghost story to begin with.
    Ray
    No it's not, it's true.
    Helen
    Yeah I do n't think so Ray
    Ray
    I swear it.
    Julie
    Please, it's a fictional story created to warn young girls of the dangers of having premarital sex.
    Ray
    Well actually honey, you know how terrified I am of your IQ but it's an urban legend, american folklore and they all usually originate from some real life incident.
    Ray smiles . Some time has passed on the beach and Helen is running around while Barry is laying on the ground .
    Helen
    So by that time, I will just be finishing my two year contract on Guiding Light, coinciding with your first year as starting quaterback for the steelers.

    Ray
    There's liquor all over the car.

    Barry
    Then we dump the body.
    Julie
    You've lost it.
    Helen
    Like just pretend we were never here.
    Barry
    We could drag him into the water and dump him in, they would n't find the fucker for weeks by that time all the evidence would be washed away.
    Ray
    If they found him at all. The currents are strong, the undertow could carry him out to sea.
    Julie
    I wo n't be any part of it.
    Ray
    Look I'm scared Julie, I'm not like the rest of you, I do n't have the family or the money to get me out of this. Please.

    Do we have to rehash this? It was an accident, the guy was in the middle of the road.
    Julie
    His name was David Egan.
    Barry
    Who?
    Julie
    David Egan. He was found three weeks after we. his body was caught in a shrimp net not far from millers dock. It was in the paper, I think the police called it an accidental drowning. You can call it an accident all you want but he died because of us that's certain.
    Barry
    What about Ray? Have you showed this letter to him? What does he think?
    Julie
    I have n't seen Ray since last summer, we broke up and last I heard he was working up north.

    Barry then grabs Max and pushes him into a block of ice holding him down .
    Barry
    Look you shit we got your little letter.
    Max
    What the hell are you talking about?
    Barry

    Barry grabs a large fish hook that was sitting on a block of ice and holds it up to Maxs face .
    Max
    Jesus Christ.
    Barry
    Listen I'm gon na say this once, I'll fucking kill your ass, I got no problem with that.
    Max
    Oh get the fuck off me.
    Barry
    You understand me?
    Max

    Pause .
    Ray
    Look I thought a lot about last summer, I know you hold me responsible for what happened.
    Julie
    I do n't hold you responsible, no I'm responsible for my own actions and I do n't blame you. But I do n't want to know you either.

    Julie
    That's right, he could have easily lied to Missy, we did.
    Helen

Summary: On the Fourth of July 1996 in Southport, North Carolina, Julie James and her friends Ray Bronson, Helen Shivers, and Barry Cox drive to the beach after attending a party. While driving along a coastal byway, they accidentally hit a pedestrian. Julie's friend Max passes by them on the road. Julie reassures Max that everything is all right, and he leaves. After some arguing, the group decides to dispose of the body, dumping it in the water. They agree to never discuss the incident again. A year later, Julie returns home from her college in Boston for the summer. Since the incident, the friends have gone their separate ways. Julie receives a letter with no return address, stating, "I know what you did last summer!" Disturbed, Julie tracks down Helen, who has returned to Southport to work at her family's department store after a failed attempt at an acting career in New York City. The girls take the note to Barry, who immediately suspects Max as he was the only person there that night. They confront Max on the docks, and Barry threatens him with a hook, even though Max claims he has no idea what Barry is talking about. Julie meets Ray, who is now working as a fisherman; he unsuccessfully tries to reconcile with her. Later, Max is killed by a figure in a rain slicker wielding the same hook. Barry discovers a note in his gym locker saying, "I know." He is then ambushed by the same assailant driving Barry's car. Meanwhile, as Ray still suspects Max, Julie researches newspaper articles which lead her to believe the man they ran over was a local named David Egan. Helen and Julie go to visit with David's sister Missy at her home. Missy explains to them that their family was devastated by David's death; she also mentions that a friend of David's named Billy Blue also visited her to pay his last respects. Later that night, the killer sneaks into Helen's house, cuts off most of her hair while she sleeps, and writes "Soon" in lipstick on her vanity mirror. The following morning, Julie finds Max's corpse wearing Barry's stolen jacket in the trunk of her car. When she calls the others, the body is missing. Julie, Helen, and Barry confront Ray about the recent events. Ray claims to have received a threatening letter as well. Julie goes back to visit Missy, while Barry and Helen go to participate in the Fourth of July parade. Missy reveals David allegedly committed suicide out of guilt for the death of his girlfriend Susie in a car accident and shows David's suicide note to Julie. As the writing matches that of the note she received, Julie realizes it was not a suicide note, but a death threat. At the Croaker Beauty Pageant, Helen witnesses Barry being murdered on the balcony. She rushes upstairs with a police officer but finds no sign of the killer or Barry. A police officer escorts Helen home, but the killer lures him into an alley and murders him. Helen flees to her nearby family store, where her sister Elsa is closing for the night. The killer enters the store and murders Elsa. Helen is chased to the third floor of the building and escapes through a window, falling to a long alleyway. She manages to run toward the street, but the killer stops her and slashes her to death, her screams being drowned out by the sound of the oncoming parade. Julie finds an article mentioning Susie's father, Ben Willis, and realizes that Ben was the man they ran over, moments after he had killed David to avenge his daughter. She then goes to the docks to tell Ray, but he refuses to believe her. Julie notices Ray's boat is called Billy Blue and runs away. Ben appears, knocking Ray unconscious, and invites Julie to hide on his boat. On the boat, she finds photos and articles about her friends and her, and pictures of Susie. Ben's boat leaves the docks, and he begins tormenting Julie, chasing her below deck; there, she uncovers the bodies of Helen and Barry in the boat's ice box. Ray regains consciousness and steals a motorboat to rescue Julie. He ultimately uses the rigging to sever Ben's hand and send him overboard. When Julie and Ray are questioned by the police, they deny knowing why Ben attempted to kill them, but they are relieved not to have actually killed anyone the previous summer, and reconcile. A year later, Julie is in college in Boston. As she enters the shower, she notices the words "I still know" on the mirror. Moments later, the fisherman crashes through it as Julie screams in horror.
