(FADE IN:) INT. WHITE PLAINS INSTITUTE IN EVANSFIELD, S.C.--NIGHT. (DR. JONATHAN GRANT HAS JUST ENTERED HIS OFFICE. HE IS FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER MAN. DR. GRANTS SITS DOWN IN HIS CHAIR.) DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT You may have a seat Mr. Washington. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Thank you Mr. Grant. (MR. WASHINGTON SITS DOWN IN A CHAIR IN FRONT OF DR. GRANT.) DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT Now what patient did you want to talk to me about? MICHEAL WASHINGTON A patient by the name of David Tate. DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT Awh yes, Mr. Tate is one of our most famous patients. For all the wrong reasons of course. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Exactly. Even though I'm not too fond of him being here after the little incident in Duconville. DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT If your not too fond of him being here, where do you think he is best suited to be? If you don't mind me asking. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Honest opinion? DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT At this point in time yes. A honest opinion would be nice. MICHEAL WASHINGTON I think he belongs six feet under the dirt. That's my honest opinion. DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT I see. Don't you argee that Mr. Tate suffers from psychological problems? I mean the court also felt that Mr. Tate was not able of rational thought. MICHEAL WASHINGTON I really don't care what the court thinks. Any young kid, which is now a man, that murders his parents, and my partner as gruesome as he did, doesn't deserve to live. (MICHEAL IS TALKING IN A CALM BUT ANGRY VOICE) DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT I'm sorry that you feel that way Mr. Washington. I think David has been making wonderful progress since his omission in this institute. MICHEAL WASHINGTON How about I go see for myself. Let me see if he's changed. (MICHEAL IS STILL ANGRY) DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT I'm sorry Mr. Washington. At the present time, and with your anger towards him, I can't allow you to visit my patient. I'm afraid you may set him back from the progress he has shown in these few years in the institute. Even if you are a homicide detective. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Alright. Even though I think this was a bad idea to begin with. I respect your authority. (MICHEAL WASHINGTON STANDS UP FROM HIS CHAIR AND SHAKES DR. GRANT'S HAND.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON (CONT'D) Be warned Dr. Grant. I don't care what kind of pity you may feel for this man, it will never take the fact away that he killed his parents and someone very close to me. I hope for your sake, as well as the sake of others that he has indeed changed. DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT Mr. Washington even if he were to regress back to his old ways, there is no way he will be able to escape this facility. The general public would have nothing to fear. MICHEAL WASHINGTON I hope your right Doc. I sure hope your right. (MICHEAL WASHINGTON WALKS OUT OF DR. GRANTS OFFICE, LEAVES THE BUILDING AND DRIVES AWAY IN HIS CAR.) CUT TO: INT. IN FRONT OF CAGED DOOR FUTHER INSIDE THE MENTAL INSTITUTE-- MOMENTS LATER GUARD AT THE CAGED DOOR Hello sir. Who are you here to see today? DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT Patient David Tate. GUARD AT THE CAGED DOOR Ok. Sign here. (DR. GRANT SIGNS THE FORM, THE GUARD MASHES A BOTTOM THAT OPENS A CAGED DOOR THAT LEADS DOWN A DARK HALLWAY.) GUARD AT THE CAGED DOOR (CONT'D) If you need anything sir, just push the speaker phone and tell me. DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT Alright. Thank you officer. (DR GRANT WALKS PAST THE CAGED DOOR, DOWN THE DARK HALLWAY, IN THE MIST OF LOUD SCREAMS FROM VARIOUS PATIENTS, TO A ROOM NEAR THE END OF THE HALLWAY. HE USES HIS KEYCARD TO OPEN THE DOOR. DAVID TATE SITS ON THE FLOOR, BUNDLED UP IN A TIGHT KNOT, HEAD BETWEEN HIS LEGS.) INT. DAVID TATE'S ROOM--MOMENTS LATER DAVID TATE Hello Dr. Grant (DAVID RAISES HIS HEAD.) DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT Hello David. How are you doing today? You seem in poor spirits. DAVID TATE I'm ok, I guess. Especially in this place. It would be nice to be free again. Free from the pain. (DAVID SPEAKS IN A LOW MONOTONE VOICE.) DAVID TATE (CONT'D) . DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT Now David, You and I know thats not going to happen. You've done many wrong things in your past. We can get you free from the pain however, but I'm afraid you may never be one with society ever again. DAVID TATE You told me once that nothing is impossible Dr. Grant. I believe society can find it in it's heart to forgive me. I've done many wrong things in my past. We all have. I'm only human like everybody else. DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT That is true David. But you.....I mean you've done harm to alot of people, and their families. Eternal harm. And in this society that is not exceptable. DAVID TATE I'm sick of talking about what I've done in the past! Jesus! I can't even remember what happened that night. It's like...it's like I blanked out. I know you don't believe me. No one believes me. (DAVID SITS QUIET FOR A SECOND.) DAVID TATE (CONT'D) Sorry for my rambling doctor. We can begin with our session. DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT Now you seem to be making alot of progress. Your attitude has improved a great deal. (DAVID STANDS UP AND STARES AT THE WALL.) DAVID TATE I changed my mind. I don't feel like talking right now. DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT But David we haven't finished our session. Your showing good progress. I would like to explore that more. DAVID TATE I said leave!! Now!!! (IN A ANGRY VOICE.) DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT Ok David. I will go. We will continue our session tomorrow. (DR. GRANT LEAVES DAVID'S ROOM, AND BEGINS TO WALK BACK DOWN THE HALLWAY.) DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT (CONT'D) The patient seems to be suffering from some form of enraged anger. Hopefully I will be able to continue to study this further in our sessions. (DR. GRANT IS TALKING INTO HIS TAPE RECORDER.) (DR. GRANT WALKS TO THE CAGED DOOR. THE GUARD OPENS THE DOOR.) INT. IN FRONT OF CAGED DOOR--MOMENTS LATER GUARD AT THE CAGED DOOR Everything went alright back there sir? DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT Yes. Everything went fine. (DR. GRANT CONTINUES TO WALK BACK TO HIS OFFICE.) CUT TO: INT. AT THE POLICE STATION DOWNTOWN--LATER (MICHEAL WASHINGTON IS AT HIS DESK WHEN HIS CAPTAIN WALKS UP) HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM Where have you been? MICHEAL WASHINGTON I had to go take care of some personal business. What's up captain? HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM I have something to tell you your not gonna like. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Something told me not to come back in here. What is it? HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM I'm linking you with a partner. MICHEAL WASHINGTON A partner?! I don't want a partner! I don't need.... HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM Look I know it's tough to get over what happened to Derek, but you got to let it go. It's time you had a partner. (MICHEAL IS SILENT) MICHEAL WASHINGTON Alright. I don't agree with this. Who's supposed to be my partner? HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM Your partner's name is Amy Bennet. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Amy Bennet?! A female?! This must be a joke?! HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM It's not a joke. She'll be in here tomorrow. Promise that you'll be nice. MICHEAL WASHINGTON I promise. HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM Good. CUT TO: INT. BACK AT THE STATE HOSPITAL--THE NEXT DAY (THE PATIENTS ARE OUT IN THE YARD. DAVID TATE SITS BY HIMSELF ON A BENCH. DR. GRANT STANDS WITH ANOTHER DOCTOR TALKING) DOCTOR STEVENS So he's improved his progress a great deal? DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT Yes. David has shown remarkable growth. Far less violent from when he first came here. DOCTOR STEVENS That's good. I remember the days when he first got here. I still have a few scars from those days. DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT The one thing he wants, I'm afraid I can't give him. DOCTOR STEVENS What does he want? DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT To prove himself to society. To show that he is a better person. DOCTOR STEVENS I think what he did in the past is too much for people to forget. Especially the victims families. DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT Yes, I told him that. But maybe one day it would be worth a try. With proper supervision of course. DOCTOR STEVENS Too risky. The public would have a field day if they found out. (DR. GRANT TAKES A DEEP BREATH.) DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT Your right. Sometimes my willingness to help a patient gets in the way of logical thinking. CUT TO: INT. AT THE POLICE STATION--MOMENTS LATER (AMY BENNET WALKS INTO THE HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM'S OFFICE. MICHAEL IS SITTING IN A CHAIR ON THE SIDE OF THE CAPTAIN'S DESK.) AMY BENNET Amy Bennet reporting for duty sir. (EXTENDING HAND TO SHAKE THE CAPTAIN'S HAND.) HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM No need for handshakes. This guy in the chair is your partner Michael Washington. He will show and tell you anything you need to know. Now if the both of you don't mind, I would like to have my office to myself so I can get some work done. (MICHAEL AND AMY WALK OUT OF THE CAPTAIN'S OFFICE) AMY BENNET Well he seemed like a nice guy. So what do we do now? MICHEAL WASHINGTON Follow me. (MICHEAL LEADS AMY TO A CAR.) AMY BENNET Where are we going? MICHEAL WASHINGTON We're going to do our jobs. AMY BENNET OK. I see everyone around here is great to work with. (MICHEAL AND AMY DRIVE OFF IN THE CAR.) CUT TO: INT. MICHEAL'S CAR--LATER (MICHEAL AND AMY ARE DRIVING AROUND IN THE CAR) AMY BENNET We've been to three crime scenes and you haven't said a word to me all day. What is your problem? MICHEAL WASHINGTON Nothing. Just letting you get the feel of things on your own. AMY BENNET Look, if we're gonna be partners at least be honest with me. Don't give me a bullshit story about letting me feel how things are supposed to be ran around here. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Alright. I can respect that. AMY BENNET If you don't mind me asking. What happened to your last partner? (THE CAR BECOMES SILENT. MICHEAL TAKES A DEEP BREATH.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON I might as well tell you, since your gonna find out sooner or later. It all started when we were on a call to this house on Johnson Avenue in a town not too far from here called Duconville. Me and Derek grew up there. Well anyway, we're at this house, and we decide that I go the back way. Derek goes the front way. A couple of minutes later, I'm inside the house, and everything is quiet. I call out Derek's name. He doesn't say anything. I walk into the kitchen part of the house, I feel a hand all of a sudden on my back...and it's Derek. Blood all on his hands, neck slit from ear to ear. He falls on me, I fall to the ground. I look over to one side of the room, there's a woman and a man laying on the floor, blood covering their bodies. This kid, couldn't have been no older than 13, was standing over them with a sharp, bloody knife in his hand. I'll never forget the smile on his face as he looked at me. It was as if he was happy he had done it. When I grabbed him, he didn't resist at all. It was as if he really didn't care if he killed his parents or my partner. It was the weirdest shit I've ever been a part of. AMY BENNET Yeah that is strange. So what happened to the little kid? MICHEAL WASHINGTON The courts put him in a mental institute. (MICHEAL BECOMES SILENT) AMY BENNET Look I'm sorry about what happened to your partner. MICHEAL WASHINGTON That's alright. Like I said you were gonna find out sooner or later. So what's your story? Why move here? AMY BENNET My mother was born here. She died a couple of years ago. Coming back here for her funeral I saw how much I miss the small city life. I was born here, But when my parents divorced awhile ago, I stayed with my father who lived in New York. My mother stayed here. I got tired of the big city life and decided I wanted to stay here. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Well you came to the right town. There's hardly anything special about this place. Except for the occasional crime here and there. AMY BENNET I don't know. I mean we've been to three crime scenes already. Sounds like it's pretty busy around here to me. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Which is rather unusual for this town once I think about it. That and this heatwave that's hit the city all of a sudden. CUT TO: INT. MENTAL INSTITUTE--THE NEXT DAY (DR. GRANT IS IN HIS OFFICE WITH DR. STEVENS) DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT David has been sleep all day. He seems to be in some form of regression again. DOCTOR STEVENS I thought you said he was improving? DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT He is. But there are still various things that bother me. DOCTOR STEVENS Like? DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT He has fits of rage as of late. Like he's developing a split personality. I was in his room the other night for a session and he begins to sit there quietly. All of a sudden he gets up from the edge of his bed, and stares at the wall. Then he tells me he doesn't want to talk anymore. His voice sounded completely different when he was saying this. DOCTOR STEVENS Hmm. Sounds like you might be right. If his voice and behavior snapped like that maybe he is developing a split personality like you said. Did he do or say anything esle to you? DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT He's been telling me that he hears voices in his head. DOCTOR STEVENS Hmm. Odd. Do you mind if I conduct a session with him? DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT I wouldn't mind at all. I would like a second opinion. You can do it tonight if you wish. DOCTOR STEVENS That would be nice. CUT TO: INT. AT A CHURCH--LATER (A MAN HOLDS A GUN TO A PREACHER'S HEAD, WITH A BIBLE IN HIS LEFT HAND. A GROUP OF OFFICERS ARE ALREADY ON THE SCENE AS WELL AS MICHEAL AND AMY) MICHEAL WASHINGTON Put the gun down now!!!! MAN WITH THE GUN AND BIBLE The end is near!! You are all doomed!! He will be unleashed!!! MICHEAL WASHINGTON Put the gun down!!! MAN WITH THE GUN AND BIBLE You don't understand!! I'm trying to save you!! MICHEAL WASHINGTON We understand!! Now put the gun down and we can talk about it. How about that? MAN WITH THE GUN AND BIBLE No!!! You don't understand!! But you will!! All of you will!! Real soon!! (THE MAN BEGINS TO WINCE IN PAIN. THEN THE MAN STOPS POINTING THE GUN AT THE PREACHER'S HEAD AND PUTS IT ON THE SIDE OF HIS OWN HEAD.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON Hey, Hey!! What are you doing?!! You don't want to do that!! Come on man!! Put the gun down and we can talk it over. (THE MAN PULLS THE TRIGGER. SHOOTING HIMSELF IN THE HEAD. MICHEAL, AMY AND THE REST OF THE OFFICERS STAND THERE. MICHEAL GOES OVER TO THE PREACHER.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON (CONT'D) Are you alright sir? FATHER DUNCAN Yes my son. I'm fine. (MICHEAL LEANS OVER THE BODY OF THE MAN WHO SHOT HIMSELF AND DIGS IN HIS POCKET.) AMY BENNET What are you doing? MICHEAL WASHINGTON Looking for evidence. (MICHEAL PULLS A PIECE OF PAPER OUT OF THE MAN'S POCKET. THE PAPER HAS A LIST OF NAMES OF VARIOUS PEOPLE.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON (CONT'D) Excuse me father. But may I ask your last name? (STANDING UP LOOKING OVER AT FATHER DUNCAN.) FATHER DUNCAN It's Duncan. Why do you ask? MICHEAL WASHINGTON The victim has your name on this list. (WALKS OVER TO FATHER DUNCAN AND SHOWS HIM HIS NAME ON THE PAPER.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON (CONT'D) Is there any reason why this man would have your name on this list? Was this about something in the past maybe? FATHER DUNCAN I've never met that man a day in my life. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Are you sure father? FATHER DUNCAN I'm very sure. MICHEAL WASHINGTON He didn't say anything to you? Give any hints as to why he would do this? FATHER DUNCAN No. He kept saying the same things he was saying when you arrived. Just a case of another lost soul I guess. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Lost soul huh?. Ok let's wrap it up here fellows. (MICHEAL, AMY, AND THE OTHER POLICE OFFICERS BEGIN TO WRAP UP THE CRIME SCENE.) CUT TO: INT. OUTSIDE THE CHURCH--LATER AMY BENNET So what's the next move? MICHEAL WASHINGTON Your guess is as good as mine. Something doesn't add up. Why would someone hold a priest hostage? And have a list with his name on it no less. AMY BENNET And what he was saying. It sounded like he was warning us. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Yeah. The question is from what? Well this has indeed been a strange day. Since our shifts are over I suggest we retire to our sleep palaces. AMY BENNET Good idea. (MICHEAL AND AMY GET IN THE CAR AND DRIVE OFF.) CUT TO: INT. AT MICHEALS APARTMENT--LATE NIGHT (MICHEAL HAS DROPPED AMY OFF AT HER APARTMENT. MICHEAL SITS WATCHING TELEVISION. NEWSMAN OF TELEVISION Look forward to an unseasonable warm day tomorrow. As well as an ecilspe. So tomorrow will be an odd day to say the least. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Tomorrow odd huh? I think today takes the cake. It can't get any odder. (TALKING TO HIMSELF) (MICHEAL LAYS DOWN IN HIS BED AND FALLS TO SLEEP. HE BEGINS TO DREAM ABOUT THE FATEFUL NIGHT HIS PARTNER DIED.) CUT TO: INT. MICHEAL'S DREAM - CONTINUOUS (IT'S NIGHTTIME WHEN MICHEAL AND HIS PARTNER DEREK PULL UP TO A HOUSE ON A DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE CALL.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON Alright man, You want the front or the back? DEREK I say we settle it with rock, paper, sissors. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Not again. I always lose at that shit anyway. DEREK You know we do this all the time. No need to try to change now. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Alright, alright. Let's do it. (MICHEAL LOSES THE GAME.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON (CONT'D) Shit! DEREK Looks like big Micky has to take the back again. (DEREK IS LAUGHING.) (MICHEAL AND DEREK GET OUT THE CAR.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON Be careful man. (MICHEAL SAYS TO DEREK.) DEREK You know I will. (MICHEAL'S POV) (MICHEAL WALKS INTO THE BACK OF THE HOUSE WITH HIS GUN OUT. THE HOUSE IS UNUSALLY QUIET FOR A DISTURBANCE CALL. MICHEAL CONTINUES TO WALK THROUGH THE HOUSE. HE CALLS OUT DEREK'S NAME AND GETS NO ANSWER. HE CALLS OUT DEREK AGAIN, STILL NO ANSWER. MICHEAL SLOWLY WALKS THROUGH THE KITCHEN DOOR, WHEN AND HAND REACHES FROM THE BACK OF HIM AND TOUCHES HIS BACK. MICHEAL JUMPS AROUND IN SHOCK, AND SEES THAT IT'S DEREK. BLOOD ON HIS HAND, POLICE UNIFORM FILLED WITH BLOOD, AND HIS NECK SLIT FROM EAR TO EAR. DEREK FALLS ON MICHEAL, AND MICHEAL FALLS TO THE GROUND. MICHEAL PULLS DEREK OFF OF THE TOP OF HIM AND SITS OVER HIM.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON No!!!! Derek don't die on me!! (MICHEAL BEGINS TO CRY. MICHEAL LOOKS ACROSS THE HALL AND SEES TWO OTHER BODIES LAYING ON THE FLOOR, AND A YOUNG TEENAGED BOY STANDING OVER THEM, A SMILE ON HIS FACE.) (AS THE CAMERA CLOSES IN ON THE BOY'S FACE--SHARP FLASHES OF A DEMON IS SHOWN.) CUT TO: INT. MICHEAL'S APARTMENT - CONTINUOUS (MICHEAL SITS UP QUICKLY IN HIS BED, SWEATING HEAVY, LOOKING AROUND NERVOUSLY FROM THE DREAM HE JUST HAD.) CUT TO: INT. THE CHURCH--THE NEXT DAY (MICHEAL AND AMY ARE OUTSIDE THE CHURCH WHERE THE SUICIDE HAPPENED YESTERDAY) MICHEAL WASHINGTON It's time to go see if our priest friend can recollect something he might have missed from yesterday's event. AMY BENNET You think he's hiding something? MICHEAL WASHINGTON I don't know. But it's all we have to go on. Something about yesterday doesn't sit well with me. (MICHEAL AND AMY WALK INSIDE THE CHURCH. THEY SEE A PRIEST SITTING DOWN.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON (CONT'D) Excuse me sir. Do you know where I might find a Father Duncan? PREACHER SITTING DOWN His office is upstairs, the first one on the right. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Thank you. (MICHEAL AND AMY WALK UP TO FATHER DUNCAN'S OFFICE AND KNOCK ON THE DOOR.) INT.

(BOTH SHAKE FATHER DUNCAN'S HAND RESPECTIVELY AND SIT DOWN.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON I just want to follow up on everything just to make sure. Now you said that you had no idea who the guy with the gun was? FATHER DUNCAN Yes. I never saw him a day in my life. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Never saw him around the church? On the street? FATHER DUNCAN Never. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Do you have any idea how he got in the church? FATHER DUNCAN Officer Washington anyone can come in the church. The church is open for all who want to come and talk to god. The thing that disturbs me about the incident yesterday is that whoever that man was yesterday showed such violent acts in the house of god. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Yeah I see what you mean. Did you make sense of anything he was saying? FATHER DUNCAN I only grasped certain things he was saying. But from the sound of it, he sounded like he was warning us from something or someone. Against something evil. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Yeah it sure did sound that way. Maybe he knows something we don't know. Still don't understand the list with the names on it. Well I thank you Father Duncan for answering my questions. FATHER DUNCAN Your welcome. (MICHEAL AND AMY SHAKE FATHER DUNCAN'S HAND AND WALK OUT OF HIS OFFICE ON THEIR WAY TO THEIR CAR.) CUT TO: INT. IN FRONT OF THE CAR--MOMENTS LATER AMY BENNET Wow it's been a while since I saw an eclipse. (AMY IS LOOKING INTO THE SKY.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON This heat is unbearable. (MICHEAL'S PHONE BEEEPS.HE PULLS IT OUT.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON (CONT'D) Yeah. OFFICER ON THE PHONE Micheal I did a background check on that crazy guy from yesterday. MICHEAL WASHINGTON So what did you find out? OFFICER ON THE PHONE Your not gonna believe this. The guy was a rich guy by the name of Richard Huntley. He was good friends with a priest at the church On Main right off of Oswald Ave. You can't miss it. MICHEAL WASHINGTON I'm on it. Thanks. OFFICER ON THE PHONE Anytime. (MICHEAL PUTS THE PHONE BACK UP.) AMY BENNET What was that about? MICHEAL WASHINGTON This case has just gotten a little weirder. I'll brief you on the way to our destination.

Let's go see if they know any information on our friend from yesterday. (MICHEAL AND AMY WALK INSIDE. THEY SPOT A PRIEST WALKING BY.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON (CONT'D) Excuse me sir. Do you know where I can find someone who knows anything about a priest who used to know someone by the name of Richard Huntley? PRIEST WALKING BY I'm sorry, I'm new here. I'm afraid I don't know anybody by that name. Maybe Father Marcus can help you. I will walk you to him. (THE PRIEST WALKS MICHEAL AND AMY TO FATHER MARCUS, WHO IS STANDING OUTSIDE IN A SMALL GARDEN IN THE CENTER OF THE CHURCH.) INT. SMALL GARDEN IN THE CENTER OF THE CHURCH--MOMENTS LATER PRIEST WALKING BY Father Marcus. These two people want to inquire about someone I thought you may know. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Hello Father. My name is Officer Micheal Washington and this is my partner Amy Bennet. FATHER MARCUS Nice to meet the both of you. Now what may I help you with? MICHEAL WASHINGTON There was a guy named Richard Huntley who used to be good friends with a priest. I was wondering did you or anyone know him personally? FATHER MARCUS Richard Huntley. A good man. A great friend as well. Haven't seen him in three or four years. I guess he wanted to spend time with his family. Is he in any trouble? Is he missing? MICHEAL WASHINGTON Mr. Huntley is dead sir. FATHER MARCUS Dead?! How did he die?! (SHAKEN) MICHEAL WASHINGTON He shot himself in the head, after he held another priest hostage. FATHER MARCUS Oh my dear lord. That doesn't sound like Richard at all. You sure you have the right man? (STILL SHAKEN) MICHEAL WASHINGTON We checked everything. Dental records, face, everything. FATHER MARCUS Oh my!! I'm sorry...I knew Richard personally, I just find it hard to believe that he would have done this. I find this shocking, yet extremely sad. MICHEAL WASHINGTON I'm sorry you had to find out this way Father. FATHER MARCUS Your just doing your job. Now if you would excuse me, I want to pray to God over the soul of my friend. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Go ahead Father. We will come back later. Hopefully you can answer a few questions for us. FATHER MARCUS I will be more than glad to. MICHEAL WASHINGTON As soon as we find out anymore information we will let you know. FATHER MARCUS Thank you. (FATHER MARCUS WALKS OFF.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON I guess we better be leaving. AMY BENNET Yeah. (MICHEAL AND AMY HEAD TO THE CAR. THEY GET INSIDE AND DRIVE OFF.) CUT TO: INT. INSIDE THE CAR--LATER AMY BENNET I don't get it. Why would a rich man hold a priest hostage? Then kill himself? MICHEAL WASHINGTON Maybe he got hooked on drugs, went crazy, anything is possible. Father Marcus said he didn't see him three or four years . Who knows what he was doing in that time frame. AMY BENNET Yeah your right. But there is still something odd about all this. Something that doesn't sit right. MICHEAL WASHINGTON I agree with you. Something definitely is odd going on. What the hell was the list in his pocket about? (MICHEAL'S PHONE BEEPS. MICHEAL PICKS UP THE PHONE.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON (CONT'D) Yeah.

Kill them all. (SHAKEN) DOCTOR STEVENS I see. Do you have a urge to do what these voices tell you? DAVID TATE Most of the time. But I fight the urges off. The voices are getting stronger each day. I had them when I was little, but they went away for a while. Now they've come back. I don't know if I can fight them off for longer. They were the same voices I heard when I.. (STILL SHAKEN) DOCTOR STEVENS Maybe you shouldn't fight them off. Maybe you should listen to the voices. DAVID TATE Are you serious? That would be committing murder and.. DOCTOR STEVENS They speak to you David. Listen to what they say and no one will stop you or us. DAVID TATE They? Us? Who are you talking about? DOCTOR STEVENS You are one of the plans in a greater scheme of things. We will take over the world and make way for the master to enter. Only you can do that David. DAVID TATE What do you mean?

AMY SEE'S A NUN SITTING BY A EMPTY BED WITH THE SAME ROSERY BEADS IN HER HAND. THE NUN LOOKS AT AMY AND THEN LOOKS BACK AT THE BED. AMY LOOKS BACK AT THE BED, WHICH IS NOW COVERED WITH BLOOD.

AMY BENNET I think you better come take a look at this. (AMY LEADS MICHEAL TO A BASEMENT IN THE HOUSE.) INT. THE BASEMENT--MOMENTS LATER (MICHEAL AND AMY STAND IN AWE. THERE ARE BLACK WORDS PAINTED ALL OVER THE WALL.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON What the hell is this? AMY BENNET He will arise again all over the walls. It's like he was repeating himself with the writing. MICHEAL WASHINGTON What will arise again? What is he talking about is the question I want to answer. AMY BENNET Look. (AMY POINTS TO A WORN DOWN NOTEBOOK THAT SITS ON A DESK. MICHEAL WALKS OVER AND OPENS IT.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON Looks like some kind of diary. Listen to this. I feel it's presence getting stronger each day. It waits patiently for it's return. I try to convince the others but they won't listen. AMY BENNET What gets stronger everyday? Something or someone defintely had this man on edge. MICHEAL WASHINGTON We have something to go on. So we can take it from there. Let's head back to town. I don't think we can do much of anything esle here. I'll call a couple of the boys from this town to come give the house a good rundown.

It is time for me to lay the ground work for my lord's return. (STILL HAS THE STRANGER BY THE NECK.) STRANGER IN RED HOODED OUTFIT#2 Yes my master! Anything to serve you!

On this page he says that he feels the day getting closer. The day of the eclipse is near. They will try to resurrect him. To bring him back to this world. Today is the day of the eclipse. He wrote this three days ago. MICHEAL WASHINGTON So whatever he's trying to warn us about is going to happen today. AMY BENNET And get this. He also says that Father Duncan can help convince Father Marcus and the others. MICHEAL WASHINGTON So Duncan did know our little friend. Why did he lie?! Sounds like Father Duncan is holding a secret. When we get back in town I think we should pay him another visit. CUT TO: INT.

MICHEAL WASHINGTON (CONT'D) Excuse me father. Do you know where I may locate Father Duncan at the present time? PRIEST SITTING DOWN He's in the library. Walk down that hall and turn in the first room to your right. (POINTING DOWN A CANDLE LIT HALL) MICHEAL WASHINGTON Thank you father. (MICHEAL AND AMY WALK THE HALL AND TURN INTO THE ROOM WHERE THEY SEE FATHER DUNCAN SITTING DOWN READING FROM A BOOK.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON (CONT'D) Sorry to disturb you again father, but we have more questions we need to ask. FATHER DUNCAN It's kind of late. Can't this wait until the morning? MICHEAL WASHINGTON I'm sorry Father Duncan, but I'm afraid this can't wait. We went to Richard Huntley's home, the guy who held you hostage yesterday, the guy you claim you didn't know. Come to find out that he knows you very well. My question is why would you lie? (FATHER DUNCAN IS SILENT) FATHER DUNCAN I will answer your question. Please have a seat. (MICHEAL AND AMY BOTH SIT DOWN IN CHAIRS AROUND THE TABLE) FATHER DUNCAN (CONT'D) Yes I knew Richard. He was an old friend. A great friend. He came to me yesterday to ask if I could convince Father Marcus and the others to band together again. When I wouldn't agree that's when he pulled the gun, and shortly after, you arrived. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Band together against what? (FATHER DUNCAN IS SILENT) FATHER DUNCAN You wouldn't understand. You wouldn't believe me if I told you. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Try me. ( FATHER DUNCAN IS SILENT) FATHER DUNCAN Alright... Everything that I'm about to tell you can not leave this room. Have you heard about the Langston Murders that happened in this town 20 years ago? MICHEAL WASHINGTON Yeah. I heard about it. Said some sicko was killing people left and right. Almost destroyed half the town. They found the guy responsible dead in a basement or something along those lines. They didn't give many other details after that from what I remember. FATHER DUNCAN He wasn't responsible for the murders. It was something else, something more. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Something else? What do you mean? FATHER DUNCAN His body was chosen by the forces of darkness to be a host for one of their own. AMY BENNET By forces of darkness you mean?.. FATHER DUNCAN Lord of Darkness. His son, the Anti-Christ, better known to you as the Devil, and all his minions. MICHEAL WASHINGTON But why would the forces of darkness use a human body? Why not just do it themselves? FATHER DUNCAN It's not their time. So they send minions to clear a path for them. Conduct carnage,death, and mayhem. While they wait for their time. They need a human body to enter this world. So someone is chosen at birth to be the bearer. But once they enter this world through the chosen soul, they can possess and control the mind of any human they wish. AMY BENNET What do you mean about not their time? FATHER DUNCAN Sooner or later, it will be his time to rule again. When the void is surrounded by darkness. When man is extinct. He shall rule. It has happened before. It shall happen again. AMY BENNET What has happened before? What do you mean by that? (AMY BEGINS LOOKING BEWILDERED.) FATHER DUNCAN You don't understand do you? The dinosaurs, huge creatures that roamed the world, extinct! No one knows why! Prehistoric man, extinct! This is bigger than us! Way bigger! (FATHER DUNCAN BECOMES EMOTIONAL.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON I find this hard to believe. What about the stuff in the bible? What about the stuff you talk about in your preachings? (FATHER DUNCAN BECOMES SILENT) FATHER DUNCAN We unknowingly were liars. We told you what you wanted to hear. No human wants to hear that the world is going to be taken over by evil, and that our demise as a nation is immiment. We like to believe that we will be here forever, but it's not the case. Man wanted to hear that we are all god's children, so we told him that. We were salesmen. (A TEAR FALLS DOWN FATHER DUNCAN'S FACE) AMY BENNET Are we all god's children? (SILENCE) FATHER DUNCAN Some of us...Others are minions of his. What happened 20 years ago was not the work of a man, but a lieutenant if you will, for the forces of darkness. Me, Richard, Father Marcus, and a few town citizens managed to trap it off, and cast the evil away for the time being. MICHEAL WASHINGTON How did you manage to get rid of it? FATHER DUNCAN By finding the spell which brought him here and using it for good, against him. We got the Book of Evil from one of the victim's home that were killed. I believe it was a follower of the demon. We found the demon, it was inside of Ernest Billings' son. We cornered him, while Father Marcus casted the spell that sent the demon back to the void. The only way for the demon to re-enter this world is by spell. AMY BENNET Why not destroy it? Get rid of the demon for good? (FATHER DUNCAN TAKES A DEEP BREATH.) FATHER DUNCAN You cannot destroy evil. Evil is as much apart of this world as good. It waits, sits patiently for its time. The hosts are chosen as soon as their born to be a host for the demons. MICHEAL WASHINGTON How do you tell if your chosen? A marking? A sign? FATHER DUNCAN That my son, I have no idea about. Ernest Billings said that his son complained of seeing visions of things that wasn't there. Voices in his head. There are different signs I assume. (MICHEAL'S CELL PHONE RINGS) MICHEAL WASHINGTON Hello. HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM Micheal report to the mental institute immediately. MICHEAL WASHINGTON I'm on my way. (MICHEAL HANGS UP THE PHONE) MICHEAL WASHINGTON (CONT'D) I'm sorry to cut this short Father Duncan. FATHER DUNCAN I understand. If you have anymore questions you know where to find me. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Thank you Father. (MICHEAL AND AMY SHAKE FATHER DUNCAN'S HAND, LEAVE OUT OF THE CHURCH, GET IN MICHEAL'S CAR AND DRIVE OFF.) CUT TO: INT. MICHEAL'S CAR--MOMENTS LATER AMY BENNET So do you believe what he was saying? MICHEAL WASHINGTON I don't know what to believe anymore. If what he said was true, then it seems as if Richard Huntley had a premonition of a second return of the demon they fought the first time. My problem is why wouldn't the others help him this time? CUT TO: INT. CHURCH WHERE FATHER DUCAN RESIDES--MOMENTS LATER (FATHER DUNCAN IS IN THE HALLWAY WHEN THE WIND BEGINS TO BLOW THE CANDLES OUT. A DOOR AT THE FRONT OF THE CHURCH OPENS.

FATHER DUNCAN It's you!! (SCARED) DAVID/DEMON Surprised to see me so soon Father Duncan? (FATHER DUNCAN TURNS AROUND AND BEGINS TO WALK FAST TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM DAVID/DEMON.) DAVID/DEMON (CONT'D) You will not get away from me father. Death is inevitable. (WALKING SLOWLY HANDS BEHIND HIS BACK.) (FATHER DUNCAN HIDES IN THE CONFESSION BOOTH IN THE CHURCH.)

HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM A patient by the name of David Tate. From what we gather so far, he escaped from his room somehow, and killed the guard at the door. MICHEAL WASHINGTON He's going to kill again. If we don't stop him. HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM I want all men on full alert. I want road blocks in every street leading out of town.

JOHNATHAN GRANT What is going on here? MICHEAL WASHINGTON One of your guards was killed, and your patient David Tate has escaped. DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT He escaped?!! That's impossible! Dr. Stevens was supposed to conduct a session with him tonight. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Who is Dr. Stevens? I thought David was your patient? DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT David is my patient. I let a friend of mine, who also works at this institute, conduct a session with him tonight. I went home to be with my family for a few hours. When I came back here, that's when I saw all the police cars outside. HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM Have you heard from this Dr. Stevens tonight? DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT No. I called his house several times before I came here. But no one answered the phone. AMY BENNET How long does your sessions normally last? DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT No longer than 20 to 30 minutes. Not long. HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM You two better go check on this Dr. Stevens. Make sure everything is alright. DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT I'll go with you. HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM No, Dr. Grant. I need to ask you a few more questions here. Where does this Dr. Stevens reside Dr. Grant? DR. JOHNATHAN GRANT On 1845 Holscaw St. MICHEAL WASHINGTON We got it. We're on our way now captain. (A POLICE OFFICER WALKS UP BESIDE THE CAPTAIN) POLICE OFFICER Sir. There's been a report of another murder. HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM Where?! (CONFUSED) POLICE OFFICER A house on Willshire Ave. There's already a couple of officers on the scene. HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM Micheal. Scratch the search for Dr. Stevens right now. Check out the Willshire Ave. situation. Me and Dr. Grant will go check on Dr. Stevens.

(BOTH SHAKE THE OFFICER'S HAND.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON (CONT'D) So what's the run down? (THE OFFICER LEADS MICHEAL AND AMY TO THE LIVING ROOM OF THE HOUSE) POLICE OFFICER The victim's live-in maid comes in from a walk , walks into the living room, cuts on the lights, and see's this. (POINTS TO THE CEILING WHERE THERE IS A HUGH BURN SPOT WITH BLOOD STAINS AROUND IT. BLOOD STAINS ARE ALSO ON THE FLOOR WHERE THE BURN SPOT IS ON THE CEILING) MICHEAL WASHINGTON What the hell?

WHILE THE OTHER OFFICER'S WRAP UP THE CRIME SCENE.) AMY BENNET So what did Ernest Billing's maid say? MICHEAL WASHINGTON Nothing we can go on. Her boss doesn't have any problems with anyone that she knows of. Doesn't gamble. He basically was a model citizen. I tell you one thing, There's no way that maid or anyone is capable of what I just saw. No one human that is. AMY BENNET Do you believe what Father Duncan was telling us earlier has anything to do with this? MICHEAL WASHINGTON At first....No. But like I said, no human could have possibly done what I just say a few minutes ago in that house. AMY BENNET As much as I try to forget it. I can't. It's like this is not real right now. From the premonitions in Richard Huntley's book. To this. It feels like I'm in a horror movie. (AMY IS TALKING WITH FEAR IN HER VOICE.)

MICHEAL WASHINGTON No. I think we both know what's responsible. Now our only problem is finding a why to stop it. AMY BENNET So you think that what Father Duncan was telling us was true? MICHEAL WASHINGTON What esle do we have to go on? Things have been strange ever since we encountered Richard Huntley in this very church. AMY BENNET Add one more strange thing to that list. MICHEAL WASHINGTON What? AMY BENNET Look! (AMY POINTS TO THE ECLIPSE STILL IN THE SKY) MICHEAL WASHINGTON The eclipse is still there. (THE HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM WALKS UP TO AMY AND MICHEAL) HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM Anybody wanna tell me how a priest can get hoisted onto a cross hanging 13 feet off the ground?! (SCARED AND CONFUSED LOOK ON HIS FACE) MICHEAL WASHINGTON I don't think we're dealing with something normal here chief. HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM What do you think we're dealing with? AMY BENNET A demon of some sorts. HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM A demon? I've got four dead bodies in a two day span and your telling me that I should tell the press that a demon is responsible for the murders?! They would have a field day with the whole police department! MICHEAL WASHINGTON Four? HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM Four what? MICHEAL WASHINGTON You said four dead bodies.

AMY BENNET I thought the captain told us to take the day off? MICHEAL WASHINGTON If we don't stop what we're up against, we won't even be alive. From the pattern of this thing, it looks like its after every name on that list that Richard Huntley had before he died. Getting revenge on the ones that trapped it before. Maybe we can get there ahead of it, and save a few lives. (AMY TAKES THE PAPER OUT OF HER BACK POCKET AND PUTS IT ON THE TABLE) AMY BENNET There's a guy on this list by the name of William Smith. Him and Father Marcus are the last one's on the list. MICHEAL WASHINGTON Lets go check on this William Smith first.

(THE OFFICER POINTS DOWN A STREET WHERE A MAN IN A LONG BLACK COAT IS WALKING BY) POLICE OFFICER#1 Probably somebody from the neighborhood out for a little evening walk.

MICHEAL WASHINGTON (CONT'D) Son of a bitch! It's him! AMY BENNET Him who?! What are you talking about?! MICHEAL WASHINGTON David Tate! I knew that sick son of a bitch was behind some of this somehow! (MICHEAL HANGS UP THE PHONE AND RUNS DOWN THE STAIRS IN PURSUIT, WITH AMY RIGHT BEHIND HIM. THEY MAKE IT TO THE FRONT LAWN, WHILE DAVID/DEMON IS CROSSING THE STREET. MICHEAL AND AMY BOTH PULL OUT THEIR GUNS AND POINT IT AT DAVID/DEMON.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON (CONT'D) Stop right there or I'll blow your fucking head off!! (DAVID/DEMON STOPS WITH HIS BACK FACING MICHEAL AND AMY.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON (CONT'D) Now put your hands up and turn around!! Now!! (DAVID/DEMON KEEPS HIS BACK FACING MICHEAL AND AMY. HE DOESN'T SAY A WORD.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON (CONT'D) Did you hear what the fuck I just said?!! Put your hands up and turn around!! DAVID/DEMON I'm afraid I can't do that officer. I have plenty work that needs to be done. And I'm afraid that surrendering to you would greatly slow me down. So I will be going now. MICHEAL WASHINGTON You move one inch and I'll blow your fucking brains all over this street!! (A POLICE CAR PULLS IN FRONT OF MICHEAL AND AMY. THE POLICE OFFICER THAT WAS ON POST EARLIER GETS OUT OF THE CAR) POLICE OFFICER#1 What the hell is going on here?! MICHEAL WASHINGTON We're on the same side, get the fuck out of the way! POLICE OFFICER#1 Let me see some proof. (AMY BEGINS TO PULL OUT HER BADGE.) DAVID/DEMON VOICE Know who you serve. Kill them both! (DAVID/DEMON'S VOICE IN THE OFFICER'S HEAD. THE OFFICER PULLS OUT HIS SHOTGUN AND POINTS IT AT MICHEAL) (DAVID/DEMON BEGINS TO WALK OFF. MICHEAL TAKES HIS AIM OFF OF DAVID/DEMON AND PUTS IT ON THE OFFICER WHO IS AIMING AT HIM. AMY POINTS HER GUN AT THE OFFICER ALSO.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON What the fuck are you doing?! Your letting a major suspect get away! Put your gun down! (THE OFFICER DOESN'T SAY A WORD AND CONTINUES TO AIM HIS GUN AT MICHEAL.) AMY BENNET Put the gun down! (AMY CONTINUES TO AIM HER GUN AT THE OFFICER.) DAVID'S/DEMON VOICE You have served your purpose. (DAVID/DEMON'S VOICE IN THE OFFICER'S HEAD) (THE OFFICER STOPS POINTING THE SHOTGUN AT MICHEAL AND PUTS IT TO HIS OWN HEAD.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON No! Don't do it! Sto... (THE OFFICER PULLS THE TRIGGER, SHOOTING HIMSELF IN THE HEAD. HE DIES INSTANTLY. AMY BOWS HER HEAD IN SHOCK. MICHEAL STANDS IN SHOCK FOR A SECOND, THEN CHASES AFTER DAVID/DEMON. HE RUNS DOWN A DARK STREET, STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND LOOKS AROUND, BUT DOESN'T SEE DAVID/DEMON.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON (CONT'D) Fuck! Where the fuck did he go?! CUT TO: INT. FRONT OF WILLIAM SMITH'S HOUSE - MOMENTS LATER ( ) (MICHEAL RUNS BACK TO THE FRONT OF WILLIAM SMITH'S HOUSE WHERE AMY IS SITTING ON THE CURB WITH HER HEAD DOWN NEAR THE DEAD OFFICER.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON Come on! We have to get to Father Marcus before he does!! (MICHEAL OPENS THE POLICE CAR DOOR. MICHEAL AND AMY GET INSIDE THE CAR AND DRIVE OFF.) CUT TO: INT. INSIDE THE POLICE CAR--MOMENTS LATER (MICHEAL AND AMY ARE MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE CHURCH WHERE FATHER MARCUS RESIDES) AMY BENNET Back there a few minutes ago, when you said let's try to make it to Father Marcus before he does, were you talking about David or the demon? MICHEAL WASHINGTON Their both one in the same. David was the chosen one Father Duncan was telling us about. It all makes sense now. David Tate on the loose, the killings adding up the same time he escaped, the dream I had. AMY BENNET Dream? What dream? MICHEAL WASHINGTON Remember when I told you my partner was killed by a kid? That kid was David Tate. The other night I had a dream about that very night my partner was killed. In the dream I looked right into David's face... and I saw the face of the demon. AMY BENNET Now he's after everyone that stood in his way before. I hope Father Marcus can tell us where the Book of Evil is. CUT TO: INT. CHURCH ON MAIN ST.--NIGHT (AMY AND MICHEAL ARRIVE AT THE CHURCH. THEY GET OUT OF THE CAR AND BEGIN KNOCKING ON THE DOOR. ON THE INSIDE OF THE CHURCH A PRIEST LOOKS THROUGH THE WINDOW AT THEM.) PRIEST Should I let them in father? (FATHER MARCUS WALKS TO THE DOOR.) FATHER MARCUS Yes. Let them in. (THE PRIEST LETS AMY AND MICHEAL IN THE CHURCH.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON Father Marcus you have to go with us. FATHER MARCUS For what? MICHEAL WASHINGTON You don't understand, there is something after you. If your with us there might be a better chance we can pro.. FATHER MARCUS I know what's after me. This is the safest place for me right now. AMY BENNET Why does it want you dead? As well as the others that it has already killed? I mean revenge is one reason for sure, but what esle? FATHER MARCUS Because we are the original ones that stopped it the first time. It only takes one of the original people, who stopped it the first time, to use the Book of Evil to trap it. The problem is with Ernest dead, the whereabouts of the book is in jeoperady. Now you must go. I don't want to endanger your lives. We will fight the demon alone. MICHEAL WASHINGTON No dice Father. If we don't stop that thing now, nothing will stop it. We're here to help. FATHER MARCUS Very well. We will prepare for the demon. CUT TO: EXT. THE CHURCH ON MAIN ST.--LATER (A POLICE CAR STOPS IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH. INSIDE THE CHURCH FATHER MARCUS, AMY, MICHEAL, AND THE OTHER PRIESTS LOOK ON.) AMY BENNET Who do you think that is? MICHEAL WASHINGTON I don't know. I can barely see the inside of the car from here. PRIEST Should we open the door Father Marcus? FATHER MARCUS No. Not yet. It might be the demon. We can't take any chances. (A MAN GETS OUT OF THE POLICE CAR.) AMY BENNET It looks like the captain. MICHEAL WASHINGTON It is the captain. Open the door. (THE PRIEST LOOKS AT FATHER MARCUS. FATHER MARCUS NODS HIS HEAD. THE PRIEST OPENS THE DOOR.) (THE POLICE HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM WALKS THROUGH THE DOOR.) HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM What's going on here? MICHEAL WASHINGTON Capt did anyone follow you here? HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM Not that I know of. Will someone explain to me what's going on here?! I have three people dead in the area of Hillwood Dr. And not one suspect. AMY BENNET Trust me, you wouldn't believe us if we tell you. HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM Try me. FATHER MARCUS May I ask how did you find us captain? HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM What do you mean how did I find you?! Who is this guy?! Give me a break! FATHER MARCUS It was just a simple question captain. AMY BENNET Yeah. We didn't tell you on the radio where we were heading. HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM Oh so your questioning me now?! Micheal can you believe this crap?! (THE CAPTAIN IS GETTING NERVOUS) MICHEAL WASHINGTON Actually they have a point capt. I didn't recall telling you where we were heading. HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM Uh...Look, calm down for a minute. (PULLS OUT HIS GUN AND AIMS IT AT FATHER MARCUS.) HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM (CONT'D) Now nobody moves are the priest is as good as dead. (MICHEAL, AMY, AND FATHER MARCUS PUT THEIR HANDS IN THE AIR. THE TWO PRIESTS HOLD ON TO THEIR GOLD PLATED SPEARS.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON Captain you don't want to do this. (THE CAPTAIN SMILES SLYLY.) HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM Yes I do. To be a ruler of a third of the earth, a human life is a small price don't you think? FATHER MARCUS The demon has lied to you! He will kill you as soon as you are finish with his bidding! MICHEAL WASHINGTON Captain you won't kill a innocent person. Give me the gun. (MICHEAL IS STEPPING TOWARD THE CAPTAIN.) HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM Oh yes I will. You should tell that to Dr. Grant and Dr. Stevens. As far as the demon is concerned, I doubt that he will lie to me. After all, who do you think help free him. (MICHEAL BEGINS TO STEP BACK FROM THE CAPTAIN) AMY BENNET You killed Dr. Stevens and Dr. Grant? Why? HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM Sense you would like to know. Dr. Stevens was one of us to begin with. He got sloppy. He left too much evidence around. So I felt the need to get rid of him. As far as Dr. Grant. He was merely a victim of circumstance. (AS THE HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM CONTINUES TO AIM THE GUN AT FATHER MARCUS. THE THIRD PRIEST GRABS THE HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM FROM BEHIND. MICHEAL AND AMY RUSH THE CAPTAIN AND TAKE THE GUN FROM HIM.) HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM (CONT'D) You'll never get away with this! He will kill you all! None of you will survive! We destroyed the book! There will be no saving you!! (MICHEAL HITS THE HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM IN THE HEAD WITH THE BUNT OF THE GUN. THE HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM FALLS TO THE FLOOR UNCONSCIOUS.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON That should shut him up for awhile. You two guys help me tie him up with something. FATHER MARCUS We have rope in the back. One of you go get some rope. (POINTING TO THE PRIESTS. ONE OF THE PRIESTS GOES TO THE BACK TO GET SOME ROPE.) FATHER MARCUS (CONT'D) He'll be coming for us himself, now that one of his servants has failed to complete his command. We better get ready. CUT TO: EXT. CHURCH ON MAIN ST.--LATER (THE HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM IS TIED UP IN A CHAIR. MICHEAL, AMY, FATHER DUNCAN, AND THE THREE OTHER PRIESTS ARE STANDING AROUND. EVERYONE IS QUIET.) HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM Your plan won't work! You will not stop him from enforcing his will on this world!! AMY BENNET He's right ya know. How in the hell are we going to stop this thing? He already said they destroyed the book. (WHISPERING TO MICHEAL) MICHEAL WASHINGTON We have no choice but to try. If we don't at least try to stop it here, no one will stop it. (WHISPERING BACK TO AMY) AMY BENNET Making room for the devil and the rest to enter. (WHISPERING BACK TO MICHEAL) MICHEAL WASHINGTON Yeah...Hell of a night huh? (WHISPERING BACK TO AMY) (THE CHURCH BEGINS TO SHAKE. THE FRONT DOORS OF THE CHURCH BEGIN TO CRACK.) FATHER MARCUS He's here! Everyone take your positions!! HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM He has arrived! Now you all will witness his wrath! (LAUGHING) (MICHEAL, AMY, FATHER MARCUS, AND THE THREE PRIESTS SCATTER AND HIDE IN AREAS OF THE CHURCH.) (THE FRONT DOORS OF THE CHURCH OPEN SLOWLY, THEN A FORCEFUL WIND KNOCKS OUT SOME OF THE CANDLES IN THE CHURCH. DAVID/DEMON STEPS THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR. DAVID/DEMON USES HIS MAGIC TO MAKE THE FRONT DOORS SHUT AND LOCK BEHIND HIM.) HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM (CONT'D) Master you have arrived! Untie me, so that I can help you hunt down those responsible for this! (DAVID/DEMON WALKS OVER TO THE HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM.) DAVID/DEMON Untie you? I sent you on a mission and you failed me. HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM But master, I have served you well in the past! DAVID/DEMON Your begging shows your weakness. I'm afraid that it is time to get rid of you. (DAVID/DEMON GRABS THE HOMICIDE CAPTAIN NICHOLAS GRAM BY THE HEAD AND TWISTS HIS HEAD OFF. DAVID/DEMON CONTINUES TO WALK ON FURTHER INTO THE CHURCH.) DAVID/DEMON (CONT'D) Father Marcus! I have come for you. (CONTINUES TO WALK DEEPER INTO THE CHURCH) DAVID/DEMON (CONT'D) I grow weary of these games Father Marcus. Show yourself so that we can get this over with. There is no way out. I've waited 20 years for this moment. The destruction of your existence, as well as the world,has come. (THE THREE PRIESTS STEP OUT OF THE SHADOWS WITH THEIR GOLDEN SPEARS AND ATTACK DAVID/DEMON. DAVID/DEMON GRABS ONE OF THE SPEARS WITH HIS HAND AND BREAKS IT. WITH A WAVE OF HIS HAND THE PRIEST ENGULFS IN FLAMES. ONE OF THE OTHER PRIESTS STABS DAVID/DEMON IN THE CHEST WITH ONE OF THE SPEARS.) DAVID/DEMON (CONT'D) Foolish priest. Do you think your weak weapons can hurt me? (DAVID/DEMON PULLS THE SPEAR OUT OF HIS CHEST AND STABS THE SECOND PRIEST IN THE RIBS WITH IT. THE PRIEST FALLS TO THE GROUND DEAD. THE THIRD PRIEST DROPS HIS SPEAR IN FEAR. DAVID/DEMON WAVES HIS HAND AND THE PRIEST IS ENGULFED IN FIRE. THE PRIEST SCREAMS IN PAIN.) DAVID/DEMON (CONT'D) Father Marcus your plan has failed. (FATHER MARCUS, AMY, AND MICHEAL ARE HIDING BEHIND A WALL IN THE CHURCH.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON Looks like your plan hit a snag father. FATHER MARCUS He's gotten more powerful since the first time. AMY BENNET What do we do now?! (SCARED) (WHISPERING TO MICHEAL AND FATHER MARCUS.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON We try to get the fuck out of here. (WHISPERING BACK) FATHER MARCUS How? We're too far in the church to make it to the front, and the demon's in the way. (WHISPERING) MICHEAL WASHINGTON Damn! Then we have no choice but to take it down in this church. Even if we get away it won't stop until we're dead. (WHISPERING) AMY BENNET How are we going to stop it here?! (WHISPERING.) (EVERYONE BECOMES SILENT.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON We burn the church down! With us and him in it! FATHER MARCUS You will need a distraction. The least I can do is provide you with that. I will show myself to the demon. MICHEAL WASHINGTON No! It's too risky father. FATHER MARCUS I will be alright. The lord will protect me. You two take whats left of the lit candles and set the curtains on fire. I will do the rest. DAVID/DEMON I grow tired of waiting for you father. So I will look for you myself. (FATHER MARCUS APPEARS FROM BEHIND THE WALL.) FATHER MARCUS There will be no need for that demon. I am here. DAVID/DEMON Awh! I see you finally showed your face. FATHER MARCUS You will never win demon! The Lord will make sure of that! DAVID/DEMON The Lord?! (BEGINS TO LAUGH) DAVID/DEMON (CONT'D) If you are waiting for help from your Lord father, then I'm afraid that you will be waiting an eternity. (DAVID/DEMON BEGINS TO WALK TOWARDS FATHER MARCUS. FATHER MARCUS GOES DOWN ON HIS KNEES AND BEGINS TO PRAY WITH A CROSS IN HIS HAND, AS MICHEAL AND AMY BEGIN SETTING THE CURTAINS IN THE CHURCH ON FIRE.)

FATHER MARCUS FALLS TO THE GROUND, DYING INSTANTLY. DAVID/DEMON LOOKS AROUND AND SEE'S THE CHURCH BURNING.) DAVID/DEMON (CONT'D) Do you think mere fire can stop me?!

Try to get out of here as quick as you can. AMY BENNET What do you have planned?! MICHEAL WASHINGTON Just do what I say! (DAVID/DEMON CONTINUES TO WALK FURTHER INTO THE CHURCH.) DAVID/DEMON Come out and face your fate humans. There is no reason to fear death. (MICHEAL JUMPS FROM BEHIND THE WALL, AND JUMPS ON TOP OF DAVID/DEMON, KNOCKING HIM DOWN.) MICHEAL WASHINGTON Amy!

NEWS BROADCAST--TWO DAYS LATER NEWSMAN OF TELEVISION Police are still trying to find an explaination for the burning of a church downtown that left seven people dead, and one survivor who died the next day at a hospital. Police have reported that two of their officers, a homicide captain Nicholas Gram, and a female cop, Amy Bennet, died in the fire. One cop, a male named Micheal Washington, died the next day at the hospital. There were also four priests that died in the fire, as well as a escaped mental patient by the name of David Tate. On another side note of this bizarre story is the disappearance of a nurse, Rebecca Moore, who was an employee at Monroe Hospital for seven years, and who was also attending to officer Micheal Washington, before he died at the hospital. Police have no leads on the disappearance of Mrs. Moore. If you have any information on the whereabouts of Mrs. Moore, please contact the Police Department. THE END
