EXT. HEAVEN'S GATE HOSPITAL - LATER
Establishing shot of the hospital. Pedestrians walk past as
an ambulance drives by.
CUT TO:
INT. HEAVEN'S GATE HOSPITAL - WAITING ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Frank, Corrine, Mike, Tamsin, Fletcher, and Jamie sit in the
waiting room. Fletcher moves his arm and again cringes. This
catches Tamsin's eye. A concerned look crosses her face.
Fletcher stands.
FLETCHER
I'll be right back.
After excusing himself, Fletcher walks to the nearby men's
room and enters.
CUT TO:
INT. HEAVEN'S GATE HOSPITAL - MEN'S ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Fletcher takes a quick look around. Seeing that it's empty,
he locks the door. He begins to roll up the sleeve of his
injured arm as we:
CUT TO:
INT. HEAVEN'S GATE HOSPITAL - WAITING ROOM - MOMENTS LATER
Frank, Corrine, Mike, Tamsin, and Jamie sit as they were when
DOCTOR KATHERINE NIELSEN (greying red hair, mid-sixties)
approaches.
She extends a friendly hand.
DOCTOR NIELSEN
Frank.
Franks stands and takes the woman's hand. He leans in and
gives her a friendly kiss on the cheek.
FRANK
Hey, Katie.
DOCTOR NIELSEN
This is the second kid you've
brought in here this week. They're
recruiting them a lot younger than
they did in my day. Or did this one
try to kill you too?
Frank smirks. They both sit. Jamie is anxious for news.
DOCTOR NIELSEN (CONT'D)
The boy's awake. He's fine other
than a slight concussion. We'll
want to keep him overnight for
observation. Just to be safe.
Relieved smiles all around.
DOCTOR NIELSEN (CONT'D)
His mother will have to be
notified, of course...
FRANK
We'll handle it.
Katherine nods. She looks to Jamie who is practically
vibrating in place.
DOCTOR NIELSEN
(with a kind smile)
You can go see him if you want.
Jamie jumps up from his seat and is already running down the
hallway when the doctor yells out-
DOCTOR NIELSEN (CONT'D)
Room 405!
The adults chuckle at the boys excitement. Fletcher
approaches.
He sits down next to Tamsin. He nods toward Katherine.
FLETCHER
Doctor Nielsen.
(beat)
What did I miss?
DOCTOR NIELSEN
The kid's fine.
Fletcher gives a small smile.
TAMSIN
(to Fletcher)
Now, if you'd be so kind at to show
the doctor your arm.
Fletcher furrows his brow.
FLETCHER
What are you talking about?
TAMSIN
Your arm. I saw you favoring it.
FLETCHER
It's fine. Really.
DOCTOR NIELSEN
(smirking)
You damn men. Always so macho.
Let's see it, handsome.
FLETCHER
(lightly)
There's really nothing wrong.
Fletcher opens his mouth to protest more, but a look from
Tamsin tells him he better comply with the doctor's orders.
He rolls him his sleeve and holds his arm out to the doctor.
Katherine takes the man's arm and gives it a quick going
over.
DOCTOR NIELSEN
(to Tamsin)
Looks like the man is right. I
don't see anything.
Fletcher gives Tamsin a wink.
FLETCHER
Now if we could move on to more
important things. Like, what was
that creature, and why did it
attack us in broad day-light?
Tamsin gives Fletcher an odd look as we:
CUT TO:
INT. MACROWARE - TYLER'S OFFICE - LATER
Tyler has an equally odd look on his face as he sits at his
desk, starring at the talisman in his right hand. He is
broken out of his stupor by a large STACK OF FILES being set
on his desk. He looks up to see JASPER, a rather nerdy
looking man in his 20's. Tyler gives him an annoyed look.
TYLER
Hey! No way, Jasper! I'm leaving
early today!
JASPER
(mockingly)
Doesn't look like it to me. The new
boss said nobody leaves until all
their work is done.
TYLER
But I've got plans! Big plans!
JASPER
Well, you better "plan" on being
here late.
Jasper snorts at his supposed joke. Tyler glares at Jasper as
the man exits.
TYLER
(to himself)
Oh, God! I'm never going to get out
of here. Why can't these things
just do themselves?
Unnoticed by him, the talisman glows softly for a beat. Tyler
sighs, takes the top folder, and opens it up. He studies it
for a beat. He furrows his brow.
TYLER (CONT'D)
Hmmmm.
He sets that chart in his "out" box and grabs the next in the
stack. He gives it a quick glance and also sets it in the
"out" box, a slight smile crossing his face. He picks up the
next one and studies it.
TYLER (CONT'D)
What the...
He grins more shoving it in the "out" box.
TYLER (CONT'D)
(amused)
Looks like Jasper's screw-up is my
ticket out of here.
He grins as he quickly looks through he remaining charts and
shoves them in his box.
With a smile, he stands and grabs his jacket. He slips the
talisman into his front pocket and exits. After a beat, the
camera PANS DOWN to Tyler's desk. He's forgotten his cell
phone.
CUT TO:
INT. HEAVEN'S GATE HOSPITAL - BEAU'S ROOM - AFTERNOON
Beau sits up in his bed looking none the worse. Doctor
Nielsen is listening to his chest. The camera PULLS BACK
until the pair is in the BG.
In the FB, standing in a huddle, are Frank, Tamsin, Mike,
Fletcher, Corrine, and Jamie.
FRANK
(quietly)
Any leads on that damn thing that
tore up my diner yet?
FLETCHER
(shaking his head)
Can't find anything in the
database...
He holds up his small laptop.
FLETCHER (CONT'D)
...that's even a close match.
Frank frowns, furrowing his eyebrows.
FRANK
Keep on it.
FLETCHER
I'll try widening the search
parameters--
JAMIE
It was a Ravin Qua.
All give the boy a quick "say what?" look. Mike more than
looks.
MIKE
You say what now?
Tamsin pats her son gently on the shoulder.
TAMSIN
Jamie. What have I told you about
interrupting?
Jamie hangs his head.
FRANK
No. Let's hear the boy out.
(to Jamie)
You know what this thing is?
Jamie nods. Corrine is also interested.
CORRINE
Did you read about it one of those
Watcher books or--
He shakes his head.
JAMIE
I saw it last night.
Fletcher squints his eyes at the kid.
FLETCHER
I thought you said you didn't see
anything unusual. I wouldn't
exactly call that beastie normal.
JAMIE
I saw it at the movie!
(shaking his head)
No! I saw it in the movie!
All now look more confused than before.
TAMSIN
What are you talking about?
JAMIE
The Ravin Qua were the alien
species at war with the Zombie
Space Hookers!
Corrine cocks her eyebrow.
JAMIE (CONT'D)
That demon came from the movie!
MIKE
(smirking)
Things don't just come to life
'cause you see them in a movie.
Trust me. If they did, there'd be
handsome, well-endowed gay men
everywhere.
Mike looks off into space for a beat, a dreamy smile on his
face.
TAMSIN
There's an insight into your
private viewing habits we didn't
need.
FLETCHER
Needed or not, he's right.
Tamsin, Corrine, Frank, and Mike give Fletcher questioning
looks.
FLETCHER (CONT'D)
Um... Not the well-endowed gay men
part... obviously... My videos all
have busty Sheilas in them... not
that I have videos...
(after an embarrassed
beat)
Things don't just pop out of the
movie screen. They'd have to be
magically summoned.
MIKE
Magically summoned? I don't know of
any spell that can do that. Though
one time I did accidently bring a
drawing to life--
TAMSIN
Often in cases such as this, an
object is involved, like a talisman
or a--
A light-bulb goes off in Tamsin's head. It's obvious that the
same one has also gone off in Fletcher's. They look at each
other for a beat.
In unison they turn to look at Beau as we:
CUT TO:
EXT. HEAVEN'S GATE STREET - LATER
Tyler is walking. He carries a picnic basket. He walks past
the movie theater on his way to the park.
He glances at the poster for "Zombie Space Hookers Four" as
he passes and gives a small smile. The picture of the Ravin
Qua causes him to frown for a moment, obviously thinking it
looks familiar. He shakes his head dismissing the notion and
continues on his way. The camera remains on the poster for a
few beats. In the poster, the Ravin Qua's eyes begin to glow:
BLACK OUT.
END OF ACT TWO
ACT THREE
FADE IN:
INT. HEAVEN'S GATE HOSPITAL - BEAU'S ROOM - MOMENTS LATER
CU on Fletcher's computer screen. It displays a picture of
the talisman.
FLETCHER (V.O.)
You're sure this is your good luck
charm?
The camera PULLS BACK to show that the team has gathered
around Beau who looks a bit uneasy with their too close
proximity. Doctor Nielsen has left.
BEAU
Yeah.
Fletcher moves in closer.
FLETCHER
And you're positive you dropped it
in the diner during the attack?!
BEAU
Yeah! Now step back or pop a breath
mint!
Mike cracks a smile as Fletcher backs up covering his mouth
with his hand.
FLETCHER
(embarrassed)
I had onion rings for lunch.
Frank nods toward the other side of the room. The entire team
moves away from the bed, leaving Jamie to talk to his friend.
FRANK
So this talisman thing is somewhere
in my diner?!
Fletcher looks at the screen.
FLETCHER
(reading)
The "Ooc Ma' Rot".
(nodding)
Looks like it.
Fletcher pauses for a beat as he reads more of the item's
description. His brow furrows.
FLETCHER (CONT'D)
This isn't good.
CORRINE
What is it?
Fletcher returns his eyes to the screen.
FLETCHER
Says here,
(reading)
"The Ooc Ma' Rot causes the ideas
of its master to become reality. It
should only be used by a highly
disciplined mind. Unfocused
thoughts trigger a fail safe, a
guardian taken from the possessor's
mind, to retrieve the talisman from
the unworthy owner."
CORRINE
That explains the creature.
TAMSIN
(nodding)
And I'd wager the boy in the park
had "unworthy" stamped on his
forehead.
Frank nods.
FRANK
We better get back to the diner.
The sooner we get that thing in the
vault, the better I'll feel.
Tamsin looks back to Jamie and Beau.
TAMSIN
I'll stay here with the boys.
Frank nods. The team, minus Tamsin, heads out the door as we:
CUT TO:
INT. FRANK'S DINER - LATER
The diner looks considerably cleaner. The demon is nowhere in
sight. Vi is holding a broom and dust pan and standing before
Mike, Frank, Fletcher, and Corrine.
VI
I told you! Tyler took it. He went
to work and left me here to do the
cleaning-up all by myself! I should
get a raise--
Frank turns away and hits speed dial on his cell phone.
Corrine takes out her phone also. Off Vi's offended face we:
CUT TO:
INT. MACROWARE - TYLER'S OFFICE - CONTINUOUS
CU of Tyler's phone sitting on his desk ringing. It's caller
ID reads, "Incoming call: Frank".
CUT TO:
INT. FRANK'S DINER - CONTINUOUS
Another beat and Frank hangs up his phone.
FRANK
Damn it! No answer.
Corrine is on her phone.
CORRINE
(into phone)
About an hour ago? Thanks, Ronald.
Corrine hangs up her phone.
CORRINE (CONT'D)
The doorman at Macroware said he
left about an hour ago.
Frank frowns. He looks to Vi and Mike.
FRANK
Did he say anything about having
plans?
Off their faces we:
CUT TO:
INT. CALLIE'S HOUSE - AFTERNOON
The front door opens. CALLIE FORD enters carrying her purse
and keys.
She sets them down on the nearby table, next to the phone.
She jumps in surprise as Tyler grabs her in a big hug.
TYLER
Happy anniversary!
Tyler swings her around in the air and plants a big kiss on
her lips.
CALLIE
Speedy! I wasn't expecting you
until later! You surprised me!
TYLER
I'm gonna do a Hell of a lot more
than that. Come on.
He takes her by the hand and starts to walk her toward the
door.
CALLIE
Where are we going?
TYLER
(with a big grin)
You'll see.
The happy couple exits the house. A few beats and then the
telephone starts ringing. The camera pans down to the table
on which still sit Callie's purse and keys. The phone rings
for another beat as we:
CUT TO:
INT. HEAVEN'S GATE HOSPITAL - BEAU'S ROOM
Beau is sitting up in bed, talking on the phone. Jamie is
sitting on the edge of the bed. Tamsin is a few feet away.
BEAU
(into the phone)
I promise, Mom! I'm okay. You don't
need to cut your business trip
short.
(beat)
Really! Jamie and his mom are here
with me.
(beat)
Okay.
Beau gives a pained look and holds the phone out toward
Tamsin. Tamsin gives an amused smile and takes the receiver.
TAMSIN
(into phone)
Hello, Mrs. Buxton.
(beat)
A mugger. That's right. The police
apprehended him.
Tamsin turns away from the kids and speaks indistinctly.
BEAU
(quietly to Jamie)
Why did I have to tell her I was
mugged? A big freakin' monster hit
us with a table!
JAMIE
Demon.
Beau shoots Jamie a blank look.
JAMIE (CONT'D)
Technically.
BEAU
You're being weirder than usual.
What the Hell are you talking
about?
Jamie leans in.
JAMIE
My mom, everyone at the diner, they
hunt demons.
TAMSIN
Jamie!
Jamie turns around to see that Tamsin has hung up the phone
and is now looking very displeased with him.
He gives a sheepish smile as we:
CUT TO:
EXT. HEAVEN'S GATE STREET - LATE AFTERNOON
Frank's SUV speeds down the road, turning a corner sharply.
CUT TO:
INT. FRANK'S SUV - CONTINUOUS
Frank is driving, Corrine in the passenger seat, cell phone
to her ear. Fletcher, Vi, and Mike are in the back seat.
Corrine hangs up her phone.
CORRINE
Still no answer.
FRANK
Keep trying.
Corrine nods, re-dials her phone, and places it back against
her ear.
FRANK (CONT'D)
That park is huge. Better call in
the reenforcements.
In the back seat, Vi pull out her phone, dials, and places it
to her ear.
VI
(into phone)
Hey.
(beat)
Nope, not a social call.
(beat)
The park.
She hangs up he phone and turns to Mike.
VI (CONT'D)
Rick's on his way.
Back in the front seat, Frank pulls his phone out and hits a
speed dial button.
FRANK
(into his phone)
Hey, Billie. Up for a little search
and rescue?
CUT TO:
EXT. HEAVEN'S GATE STREET - CONTINUOUS
Frank's SUV speeds on out of frame as we:
CUT TO:
INT. HEAVEN'S GATE POLICE DEPARTMENT - MOMENTS LATER
Tanya is sitting behind her desk, going over a file. At the
desk across from hers sits DET. LEWIS REED (African-American,
40). A name plate on his desk clearly identifies him.
Tanya closes up her file and stands. She stands and collects
her purse and coat.
TANYA
I'm outta here, Reed. See ya
tomorrow.
Det. Reed glances at his watch and looks back to Tanya.
REED
Out before nine?
TANYA
Hey, some of us actually have a
social life.
Reed scoffs.
REED
Still dating the owner of that
greasy spoon?
Tanya ponders this for a beat.
TANYA
Dating? I guess you could call what
we're doing that.
He laughs lightly.
REED
Have a good night.
Tanya pats him on the shoulder as she passes by.
TANYA
You don't stay here too late.
Reed's face turns more serious. He nods.
Tanya exits. Reed looks to a picture sitting on his desk. It
is a picture of himself, a beautiful woman, and two small
children- a boy and a girl. The four look very happy.
Reed's forehead creases. His left hand goes to his right hand
and begins to caress the wedding ring on his finger. He is
jolted back to reality by his desk phone RINGING. He picks it
up and places the receiver to his ear.
REED
(into phone)
Detective Reed.
(beat)
The Sumner file. Yeah. I've got it
right here. Hang on.
The detective sets the phone receiver down on the desk and
starts rummaging through a stack of files on his desk.
Unable to locate the file in question, he stands and walks
over to Tanya's desk. He rummages around on her desk for a
beat and then gives a victorious smile as he finds the
missing chart.
He walks back to his desk and sits on the edge. He grabs the
receiver and opens the chart.
REED (CONT'D)
(into phone)
Got it.
(beat)
No. Looks like the time of death
was set at 4:35 p.m.
(beat)
No problem.
Reed hangs up the phone and tosses the file back on Tanya's
desk. It hits the top of the desk and slides off onto the
floor.
Reed gives an aggravated groan. He crosses over to retrieve
the file from the floor. Once behind Tanya's desk, he bends
down and picks it up.
The bottom drawer of Tanya's desk is partly open and
something catches his eye. The detective pauses for a beat
and then opens the drawer. Inside is a thick file labeled
"Frank's Diner".
A curious look crosses his face. He reaches in the drawer and
retrieves the file. He begins to thumb through it as we:
CUT TO:
EXT. HEAVEN'S GATE PARK ENTRANCE- DUSK
Frank's SUV arrives at the park, screeching to a halt. The
crew quickly piles out as BILLIE JACKSON and RICK THOMPSON
run to meet them.
They quickly break up into teams- Billie and Frank, Vi and
Rick, and Fletcher, Corrine, and Mike. The teams run off in
different directions as we:
CUT TO:
EXT. HEAVEN'S GATE PARK - CONTINUOUS
Tyler and Callie are sitting on the ground on a spread out
table cloth. Before them is the remains of what looks to have
been an elegant dinner. They snuggle as they watch the sun
set over the scenic pond.
CALLIE
This is perfect.
Tyler smiles proudly.
TYLER
It is, isn't it?
(beat)
More wine?
Callie nods. Tyler reaches for the bottle of wine. He begins
to pour it into Callie's glass, but only a trickle comes out.
TYLER (CONT'D)
Oh, we're out.
Suddenly, a steady stream of wine begins to pour from the
bottle. Tyler shrugs and fills her glass. Callie takes a sip.
He sets the bottle down and looks back to his love.
CU on the bottle of wine. Unnoticed, it continues to fill,
wine spilling quietly out over the rim.
Callie and Tyler look lovingly into each others eyes. They
kiss passionately.
Above the lovers, FIREWORKS go off. They continue to kiss for
a beat. The fireworks increase. While still kissing Callie,
Tyler opens his eyes and looks up at the dusk sky. He pulls
back as the fireworks continue.
Callie looks up her face full of wonder.
CALLIE
Just when I didn't think things
could get any better.
(beat)
What's next? A string quartet?
From behind the couple, classical music begins to play. They
turn around to see a QUARTET OF MUSICIANS playing. Callie
turns to Tyler. She is clearly impressed.
CALLIE (CONT'D)
How the Hell did you do that?
Tyler's face goes blank.
TYLER
I have no idea.
From behind them comes a GROWL. The quartet stops playing.
Through the bushes burst the Ravin Qua! It is now bigger and
uglier than ever. The beast ROARS as we:
BLACK OUT.
