ACT FOUR
INT. WAREHOUSE - NIGHT
As before, the menacing Nostro demon stands before the team
poised for attack. The creature looks down at its dead
offspring. It takes a step closer to one, nudges it with one
of its claws. Seeing that it is no longer alive, the adult
Nostro turns back to the team and glares menacingly.
It ROARS even louder than before. In unison, the team takes a
step back.
The demon raises its four arms into an attack stance and
takes a step closer to the team. It pauses and looks
curiously at the team. The creature sniffs the air.
FRANK
(to Fletcher; quietly)
What's it doing?
Fletcher shrugs.
The creature turns its head to look directly at Tamsin. It's
lips again pull back into a sneer. It takes another step
closer.
Fletcher again steps in front of Tamsin. The demon moves
toward the team.
Frank cocks his rifle and SHOOTS the demon squarely in the
chest. The bullets ricochet off the creature's bony chest
making it even more angry.
Vi attacks. She LEAPS into the air and KICKS the Nostro in
the head. The demon doesn't slow its advance.
Vi lands with a ROLL and grabs the demon from behind. The
Nostro tries to dislodge the Slayer but is having difficultly
reaching behind itself. It ROARS in frustration.
VI PUNCHES it in the back of the head. It stumbles forward.
The creature manages to grab Vi by her left leg and pull her
from off its back.
The Nostro dangles the Slayer by her leg for a beat and them
SLAMS her to the floor. Vi groans in pain but the Nostro
isn't done with her. It again raises her up and SLAMS her
into the cement floor.
Vi coughs, a bit of blood trickles out of the corner of her
mouth. The Nostro raises the stunned woman into the air for a
third time. This time, it doesn't slam her to the ground.
Instead it THROWS her across the room.
Vi flies through the air, disappearing into the mass of dead
demon bodies which are woven into the nest.
The demon quickly turns back toward the team. It HISSES and
CHARGES.
Fletcher grabs Tamsin by the hand and drags her out of the
way just as the giant creature SLAMS into the team.
Frank, Simon, and the unconscious Harold go flying in
different directions, while Fletcher and Tamsin roll out of
the way.
The pair stop, Tamsin on top, Fletcher on the bottom. Their
eyes lock for a beat.
But the moment is broken as the Nostro closes in. They two
quickly stand. Again grabbing Tamsin by her hand, Fletcher
drags the woman toward the small office area.
CUT TO:
INT. WAREHOUSE OFFICE - CONTINUOUS
The pair throw open the door and race inside. Fletcher slams
the door shut behind them and locks it. The door RATTLES as
the Nostro SLAMS into it. The whole office SHAKES.
Fletcher looks around the small, crudely constructed office
which is built off the side of the warehouse wall.
FLETCHER
This place isn't doing to hold for
long!
The building again SHAKES. Outside, the Nostro ROARS.
CUT TO:
INT. WAREHOUSE - CONTINUOUS
Frank lies stunned on the floor, a trickle of blood at his
forehead.
Simon manages to right himself. Next to him on the floor is
Harold, who is still unconscious.
Frank sits up, grabbing his head.
On the other side of the warehouse the two men see the Nostro
demon SLAMMING into the office, ROARING loudly. Through the
few small windows, Fletcher and Tamsin can be seen looking
frantically around.
Frank leans in to Simon.
FRANK
(quietly)
We've got to get them out of there.
Find something you can use as a
weapon and I'll think of a plan.
A terrified look crosses Simon's face. He leaps off the
ground and runs off into the shadows.
FRANK (CONT'D)
(angrily)
Damn it!
Frank's angry expression turns to a look of worry as we:
CUT TO:
INT. WAREHOUSE OFFICE - CONTINUOUS
Tamsin and Fletcher move the sparse office furniture in front
of the door to further re-enforce it.
The office again SHAKES as the Nostro ROARS. The two small
windows SHATTER.
FLETCHER
Keep away from the walls!
TAMSIN
She wants me! She wants my baby!
FLETCHER
Don't be stupid! It's just a dumb
creature!
The office once again SHAKES as outside the Nostro slams into
it. The walls begin to buckle. The two humans gasp
involuntarily.
Tamsin opens the room's storage cabinet and fanatically
rummages through it's contents.
CUT TO:
INT. WAREHOUSE - CONTINUOUS
Keeping an eye on the preoccupied Nostro demon, Frank
hurriedly runs toward the nest. He climbs over the rotting
demon bodies until he spots Vi lying unconscious.
He makes his way to her and drops down beside the injured
young woman. She has a black eye and a fat, bloody lip.
Frank slaps her face lightly.
FRANK
(quietly)
Vi!
No response. He slaps her a little harder.
FLETCHER
Vi!
He pulls his hand back for a third slap. This time, Vi's hand
comes up and grabs Frank's wrist before is hand can make
contact.
VI
Hey! Easy on the merchandise!
Frank's face shows relief as Vi sits.
VI (CONT'D)
Where is everyone?
FRANK
That thing's got Fletcher and
Tamsin trapped in the office. Simon
hot-footed it outta her.
VI
Bastard!
FRANK
And you have my permission to kick
his Limey ass all the way to
Britannia. But first, we've got a
demon to kill.
Frank takes Vi's hand and pulls her into a standing position.
FRANK (CONT'D)
We need to draw it away from the
office somehow--
He stops. Something has caught his eye. The camera PANS RIGHT
to a stack of several black, OVAL OBJECTS.
FRANK (CONT'D)
Those what I think they are?
A small smile comes to Vi's face as we:
CUT TO:
INT. WAREHOUSE OFFICE - CONTINUOUS
All Tamsin has managed to find in the cabinet is a hammer,
which she clutches tightly. The office SHAKES again. The wall
buckles more. Tamsin and Fletcher exchange a look which
conveys that they know it won't be long before the creature
has them.
INT. WAREHOUSE - CONTINUOUS
The demon ROARS as it prepares for its final assault on the
office.
FRANK (O.S.)
Hey, bug breath!
The demon stops and looks around to see Frank and Vi standing
on top of the nest. They each are holding up two of the oval
objects.
Frank throws one of the objects to the floor. It hits the
cement floor and shatters into a million pieces, its gooey
insides spilling out. The nature of the black objects is now
perfectly clear. They're eggs.
The Nostro GROWLS in rage. It turns fully away from the
building and runs at Frank and Vi.
The pair toss the remainder of their eggs to the floor and
run in different directions.
CUT TO:
INT. WAREHOUSE OFFICE - CONTINUOUS
Fletcher and Tamsin watch through the broken windows as the
demon moves away from the office in pursuit of Vi and Frank.
FLETCHER
(nudging Tamsin)
Come on.
The two move toward the door.
CUT TO:
INT. WAREHOUSE - CONTINUOUS
The Nostro moves in on Frank. He LEAPS and grabs a chain
which hands from the ceiling. He quickly climbs up it, out of
the creature's reach. It jumps at him and misses. They strain
on Frank's face is obvious as he tries to climb higher.
VI (O.S.)
Hey! Over here!
The demon turns its head to see Vi standing at the edge of
the nest. The Slayer jumps up and down, attempting to attract
the creature's attention. It works! The demon turns from
Frank and runs toward the red-haired woman.
The angry creature runs quickly at the Vi.
VI (CONT'D)
(to herself)
Didn't really think that one
through, did ya, Vi.
The demon is on her.
VI (CONT'D)
Crap.
The Nostro SLASHES at the Slayer with its claws. Vi PUNCHES
the creature hard in the gut.
It back hands Vi who loses her footing and slides down the
wall of dead demon bodies.
ANGLE ON Tamsin and Fletcher as they exit the office.
The demon turns to see the pair. It HISSES and breaks into a
mad run toward them.
Fletcher and Tamsin freeze. The demon stops a few feet from
the pair. It leans in, mouth open, teeth at the ready.
SIMON (O.S.)
Get a away from her, you bitch!
The demon turns to see Simon sitting in the forklift baring
down on it. The creature has no time to react. Simon SLAMS
the machine into the demon and drives it into the wall,
PINNING the angry creature tightly.
Frank climbs down from his chain.
Vi makes her way out of the nest.
Simon climbs down from the forklift while the pinned demon
HISSES.
Tamsin looks at her brother in awe.
TAMSIN
That was--
SIMON
(with a cheeky wink)
Yeah, it was. Wann't it?
Tamsin grabs her brother and pulls him into a tight hug.
Fletcher gives Simon an appreciative grin.
FLETCHER
Get away from her, you bitch?
Frank and Vi now join the rest of the group.
SIMON
Bit much?
Fletcher smirks and nods. Tamsin lets go of Simon. Fletcher
pats the man on the back.
FLETCHER
Thanks. I owe you one, mate.
Simon nods.
FRANK
(to Simon)
Good job.
Frank extends his hand. Simon takes it and gives it a shake.
FRANK (CONT'D)
Thought you'd run off for a second
there.
SIMON
How am I gonna do that? My sis was
in trouble. Had to help her, didn't
I?
Vi nods to the man and gives him an approving smile.
Harold picks himself of the ground. He starts to stumble over
to where the gang is.
Behind the group, the pinned demon HISSES.
FRANK
(indicating the Nostro)
Now. What do we do about that?
Everyone one ponders what to do with the Nostro demon as
Harold arrives.
HAROLD
Hey, guys. What did I miss?
Harold trips over a piece of random debris, falling straight
at the restrained demon. Putting his hands out to brace his
fall, he flicks back his wrist.
BONY SPEARS jut from both of the clumsy demon's wrist,
STABBING the Nostro through its mid-section. The creature
screams out in pain.
Simon moves quickly to Harold and pulls him away. The demon
retracts his spears.
The Nostro shakes for a beat and then goes limp.
HAROLD (CONT'D)
(sheepishly)
Oops.
The gang all start to laugh. Harold looks clueless. Simon
throws his arm around the demon's shoulder.
FRANK
Let's get out of here.
All nod in agreement and begin to walk toward the door.
VI
(indicating the demon
bodies)
What about all this?
FRANK
(smirking)
I think it's Mike's turn for
cleanup duty.
Vi chuckles as she and Frank exit.
Next are Tamsin and Fletcher. The man puts a comforting arm
around her back as they leave the warehouse.
Simon and Harold bring up the rear. Something on the floor
catches Harold's attention. He reaches for it, but Simon
stops him.
SIMON
(shaking his head)
Best leave the head here, mate.
Harold's shoulders slump. The two exit as we:
CUT TO:
INT. FRANK'S DINER - MORNING
Frank and Vi are behind the bar. Tyler exits from his room
and picks up a to go cup of coffee off the bar. He waives
good-bye to the pair as he walks to the door.
Mike walks down the stairs with TONY (30, beard, full of
muscles). Tony gives Mike a wink and exits out the door ahead
of Tyler. Tyler looks from Tony to Mike and sighs. He exits
also
Seeing this, Mike frowns. He walks to the bar, walking past
Tamsin and Simon who sit at a booth.
Tamsin pours her brother a cup of tea. Simon picks up the cup
and takes a sip.
SIMON
Ahh. Just like heaven.
Tamsin smiles softly.
TAMSIN
I want to thank you for what you
did last night.
Simon sets his cup down.
SIMON
Didn't have a choice, did I?
(beat)
I love ya' sis.
Tamsin suddenly jumps a little.
TAMSIN
Oh! It's kicking!
She takes her brother's hand and places it on her belly.
Simon looks a little apprehensive for a beat. His face lights
up.
SIMON
(excitedly)
I felt it!
(beat)
Like's his uncle Simon, it does.
Simon leans in to his sister's stomach.
SIMON (CONT'D)
(in baby talk)
Hello, baby. Can't wait 'til you
get here.
Tamsin smiles at her brother's excitement.
SIMON (CONT'D)
Uncle Simon's gonna teach you all
kinds of fun things.
Tamsin frowns as the camera PANS to the bar.
Frank leans in to Mike.
FRANK
Saw your little friend leave.
MIKE
Who? Tony?
Frank nods.
MIKE (CONT'D)
Trust me. "Little" doesn't describe
anything about that man.
Mike fans himself with his hand. Frank frowns. He clears his
throat.
FRANK
Whatever. You're not pulling a
stunt like that again.
Mike shrugs innocently.
MIKE
You were supposed to be watching
Tyler not hooking up with some
random hottie.
Frank quickly looks to Vi and mouths "hottie?".
She nods, confirming that his use of the word was correct.
Mike frowns.
FRANK
Now I'm sorry if it cuts into your
busy social calendar, but you've
got a job to do here. You can't
just run off because you're horny.
(beat)
We could have used you last night.
Mike looks guilty.
FRANK (CONT'D)
(with a smirk)
Speaking of which, I've got a
little clean up job for you to do.
MIKE
How little?
VI
Little like "Big" Tony.
Mike frowns.
MIKE
Remind me again why I work here.
Frank smiles as we:
FADE TO:
INT. MACROWARE HALLWAY- LATER
The camera opens on a door, it's plaque reads, "Board Room".
The door opens and Corrine and Tyler exit.
TYLER
(with fake enthusiasm)
Because you love your job!
Corrine doesn't like convinced.
CORRINE
Right. That's it.
VARIOUS PEOPLE file out of the room behind the couple, lastly
Maxwell. He hurries to catch up with the duo.
MAXWELL
Corrine!
Corrine clenches her jaw.
MAXWELL (CONT'D)
Just wanted to say thank-you for
coming today.
CORRINE
Translation- you got your approval
to buy that plant in Columbia and
just wanted to rub my face in it.
Maxwell smiles coolly. Tyler looks around awkwardly.
TYLER
I think that's my cue to leave.
The young man makes a hasty retreat off screen.
Maxwell moves closer to Corrine.
MAXWELL
(quieter)
That Columbian deal was just the
tip of the iceberg. I've got plans
for this company. Big plans. Plans
that don't involve Jon Bates' out
of-date philosophies.
Corrine clenches her jaw.
CORRINE
The board will never--
MAXWELL
The board's on my side. They'll do
whatever I tell them to.
Corrine is stumped as to what to say.
MAXWELL (CONT'D)
(with a cruel smile)
Face it, Corrine. You can't stop
me.
Maxwell turns casually and walks away. Corrine is left alone,
trembling with anger.
She frantically opens her purse and pulls out her bottle of
pills.
She dumps a couple into her hand and tosses them into her
mouth, swallowing them down.
CU on her sad face as we:

END OF SHOW
