Episode 13

CINDY

Are you okay, mom?

Carolyn doesn't answer. The girls look to each other,

more confused. Their worry continues to escalate.

Carolyn shifts her eyes to the rear view mirror and for a

brief moment, THE EYES WE SEE are not hers anymore; these

are dark, menacing, soulless.

DISSOLVE TO:

S.O. OF A PHONE RINGING. AND RINGING.

INT. PHONE BOOTH - NIGHT

Ed holds a phone to his ear. Lorrain is in the Plymouth,

parked outside the booth.

SMASH CUT TO:

INT. HARRISVILLE HOTEL ROOM - SAME

CU on the phone as it continues to ring. Rings again.

And again. A hand then reaches into frame and fumbles

for the receiver. Grabs it.

Widen -- it's Roger, who's fighting some pain as he holds

the back of his head.

ED (V.O.)

Hello...? Hello?

Roger finally answers --

ROGER

Ed -- she tried to kill me.

ED (V.O.)

(fearful)

Where are the girls?

TIME CUT TO:

INT. PERRON CAR - LATER

Carolyn turns down the driveway and heads toward their

house that sits dark in the distance.

CINDY

You said dad was going to be here.

No answer from Carolyn, who continues to the front of the

house and parks.

She grabs a bag holding the KNITTING NEEDLES as she gets

out.

105.Cindy and Andrea look at each other -- they can't figure

out what's going on as they watch their mom continue to

the front door and disappear inside the house, leaving

the entrance completely open.

CUT TO:

EXT. PERRON HOUSE - FRONT PORCH - RIGHT AFTER

Cindy and Andrea walk up to the front door with caution

in their steps. A chill chews on their spines --

-- the cellar door at the end of the hallway is wide open

-- the deep scratches an eerie reminder of why they've

kept it closed. The chair and wedge have been pushed

aside.

CINDY

(calling out)

Mom, what are you doing? We

should go.

Still no response.

Cindy takes Andrea by the hand, and reluctantly heads

inside the house. They go down the hallway toward the

cellar -- slow step after slow step.

CINDY (cont'd)

Mom -- are you down there?

When they get to the door, they peer in to see, a vacant

staircase.

CINDY (cont'd)

Mom...?

A slight shuffling noise is the only response.

CINDY (cont'd)

Mom -- answer me. Are you okay?

The noise stops. Cindy's instincts are screaming at her

to leave, but this is her mom.

CINDY (cont'd)

(to Andrea)

Stay here.

Cindy tries the light switch -- doesn't work.

ANDREA

(panicked)

Let's just go.

Cindy ignores her.

INT. CELLAR - CONTINUOUS

She heads down. Stops halfwayMom...?

WHOOSH! A HAND suddenly shoots out from between the

stairs, grabbing onto her ankle, tripping her --

-- Cindy grabs onto the handrail to keep herself from

falling. She looks to the gap between the stairs to see

her mom staring out at her with those wild, soulless eyes

-- hand still latched onto her foot.

Cindy heel drives her free foot against her mother's

wrist, freeing the grasp she has on her and scrambles

back up the stairs.

INT. HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS

Cindy WHIPS THE DOOR CLOSED! The second she slams the

chair back into place -- A LOUD, VIOLENT BANGING ON THE

DOOR reverberates right before her.

The girls recoil from the impact, visibly trembling --

how did their mom get there so fast. Either way, they're

getting the hell out of there.

Two steps into their departure --

-- THE CELLAR DOOR flies off hinges -- the chair goes

flying. Standing in the doorway, half in and out of the

darkness, is Carolyn; her breath is elevated, almost

hissing on each exhale as she grips the knitting needles

tight in one hand.

Both the girls spin on their heels. Race for the front

door, which SLAMS SHUT right before them. The girls

scream. Cindy struggles with the door, but it won't

budge.

ANDREA

Open it! Open it!

CINDY

I can't.

Movement through a side window catches her attention --

-- it's Roger racing up the driveway in the pickup.

CINDY (cont'd)

Daaaaaad!

Cindy throws a panicked look over her shoulder to see her

mom approaching.Ed yanks the door open to see --

-- Roger has a rifle pointed point blank at Carolyn's

head, who has her arms wrapped around Andrea in a death

grip, holding her next to the bed -- the knitting needles

having fallen to her feet.

There's scattered plaster on the floor from a fresh

bullet hole in the ceiling above.

Cindy is a short distance away, petrified.

ROGER

Carolyn, let her go -- don't make

me do this, please.

ED

Roger -- no.

He snaps --

ROGER

She tried to stab her!

ED

It's not her doing this!

Andrea struggles... barely able to breath. Ed moves

closer to Roger, who's barely holding it together.

ANDREA

(barely audible)

Mommy, you're hurting me.

CINDY

Mom, stop.

ROGER

Carolyn, let her go.

ED

Pulling that trigger is exactly

what this witch wants you to do --

it's another sacrifice.

Bruce moves into the room, closes in on Roger --

BRUCE

Roger, just lower your gun -- give

it to me.

ROGER

No! Carolyn, let her go!

Roger looks like he could lose it any second --

LORRAINE

Roger, please -- give him the

gun...

We see Roger struggling with a decision -- stares at

Carolyn's maniacal face before him.DAAAAAAAAAAD!!!

Roger runs to the front door. It's locked. Front kicks

the crap out of it until it busts from its frame. Rushes

in.

SMASH CUT TO:

EXT. COLIN TAFT ROAD - NIGHT

CU ON POLICE CRUISER LIGHTS FLASHING

Widen. We see Ed and Lorraine's car traveling right

behind Bruce Levy, who is driving a POLICE CRUISER,

escorting them at high speed as they slide a turn onto

the Perron's driveway.

CUT TO:

INT. WARREN'S CAR - SAME

Ed and Lorraine see Roger's truck with its door open --

engine still running. Its headlights are on, lighting

the house like center stage.

The cars skid to a stop. Just as they all get out -

-- A GUNSHOT ECHOES OUT IN THE NIGHT as a muzzle flash

pops from a bedroom window upstairs.

SMASH CUT TO:

Lorraine turns and gives Ed a disturbed look. Bruce is

with them as they all head into the house. He draws his

gun.

INT. PERRON HOUSE - CONTINUOUS

CINDY O.C.

DADDY, NO!!

Ed, Bruce and Lorraine kick it into high, racing up the

stairs.

CUT TO:

INT. HOUSE - UPSTAIRS HALLWAY - RIGHT AFTER

As they come off the top of the stairs --

CINDY O.C.

(pleading)

... please, let her go!

Ed races down the hallway to the master bedroom. Door's

closed. Lorraine and Bruce are right behind.

108.

CONTINUED:ED (cont'd)

I beg you Lord, through the

intercession and help of the arch

angels Michael, Rafael and

Gabriel, for the deliverance of

our sister who is enslaved by the

evil one.

Cindy stands still -- paralyzed with fear.

ED (cont'd)

Imponat extreman parte stolae

ejus.

Ed makes the sign of the cross over his chest, then

flicks Holy Water on Carolyn. A GUTTURAL SCREAM escapes

Carolyn's mouth, which looks like a spider web of saliva -

- and for a nano-second, her skin becomes transparent,

veiny, pulsating,

She begins to writhe and rotate on the wood floor, taking

anyone holding on with her -- her body is unnaturally

stiff.

A SOURCELESS WIND erupts within the room -- spinning

everything around -- clothing and hair whip

uncontrollably.

ED (cont'd)

Sanctissima vero Eucharistia super

caput obssessi, aut aliter ejus

corpori ne admoveatur, ob

irreverentia periculum.

Lorraine sees Carolyn's eyes keep fading back and forth --

from pitch black pupils, to blue -- as if there were an

internal struggle going on --

LORRAINE

Fight it, Carolyn! Don't let her

take you!

The dresser slides across the floor, ripping DEEP

SCRATCHES in the wood. It just misses Lorraine by a

fraction as it plows right by her, bounces off the bed

frame and embeds into the drywall.

Lorraine looks to Cindy --

LORRAINE (cont'd)

Help us!

ED

Keep her away --

LORRAINE

No Ed -- there's a reason she

hasn't killed her, Carolyn's still

fighting the possessiShe seems to be enjoying every second of this, tormenting

him by pulling Andrea in tighter --

LORRAINE (cont'd)

C'mon, give it to Bruce.

Carolyn immediately puts more pressure on Andrea -- who

is now beginning to turn slightly blue. He raises it up

again.

ED

Don't give her what she wants.

Roger yields.

ROGER

You better be right.

As he lowers the gun to give to Bruce --

WHAM! He's kicked by Carolyn with such brute force, he

flies backwards across the room into the wall. Glass

flies, gun goes sliding across the floor. Cindy's losing

it fast. Ed and Bruce move in to grab hold of Carolyn.

Ed gets a backhand to the face. Draws blood. Bruce

leaps onto Carolyn, bringing she and Andrea to the floor,

but her grip remains strong on Andrea, continuing to

squeeze the life out of her, now more than ever.

LORRAINE

(to Roger)

Grab her arms!

Loraine and Roger latch onto the arms, her strength over-

whelming -- Ed gets to his feet, extracting the vial of

Holy water. Dips his forefinger into it. Crosses

himself.

ED

My Lord, you are all powerful, you

are God, you are our Father --

Carolyn instantly arches her back, folding her body into

an upside down "U". Ed gets close, reaching out, placing

his finger on Carolyn's forehead, making the sign of the

cross --

ED (cont'd)

Ecce crucem donine, fugite partes

adversa!

Behind it all, we hear Lorraine saying the Lord's prayer.

The pictures fly off the dresser at sonic speed and

disintegrate inYou did good.

LORRAINE

You too.

Long beat.

ED

Still feel like quitting?

A slow smile grows on her lips --

LORRAINE

Not just yet.

SLOW DISSOLVE

TO:

EXT. WARREN HOUSE - DAY

Ed and Lorraine pull up in their driveway. Judy and her

Grandmother come out the front door to greet them. Judy

runs to the car.

As Lorraine gives her a warm hug, Ed extracts a box from

the back seat and hands it to her. She opens the top to

see TWELVE BABY CHICKS INSIDE.

Off her smile, we fade out.

The end.

Over black

SCROLL

The Perron family left the house

that day, and never returned.

They relocated to Oregon, where

they haven't had anymore

encounters. Shortly after their

move, the house was purchased by

an anonymous buyer, whom Ed and

Lorraine believe was the Catholic

Church. The Warrens went on to

investigate over eight thousand

cases, and to this day, Ed is the

only non-ordained Demonologist

ever recognized by the Vatican.

It was one year later that the

Warren's were called to

Amityville.LORRAINE (cont'd)

(to Cindy)

Take her feet!

Cindy quickly obeys, holding down her mom's feet as

Carolyn arches unnaturally; a contortion that would

seemingly break anyone's back --

-- Carolyn then collapses back down to the floor with a

loud thud, but keeps her death grip on Andrea, who's now

limp in her arms; her face turning blue from lack of

Oxygen. Ed and Bruce frantically try to pry her fingers

off of Andrea, but she's too strong.

The wind builds in intensity.

Lorraine looks into Carolyn's eyes that continue to fade

back and forth --

LORRAINE (cont'd)

You fight her Carolyn, don't give

up.

CINDY

Please mom, please! You can do

it. Make her let go of Andrea!

ED

Nos eriperes de potestate diaboli.

Ab omni hoste visibili et

invisibili et ubique in hoc

saeculo liberetur.

The bed flips up against the wall, windows blast open,

the lights surge with power.

Carolyn gives one last burst of energy; muscles twitch

and veins rise from under her skin, but everyone holds

her down tight -- then, like someone pulled the plug,

Carolyn stops moving, becomes limp, almost catatonic.

Her arms fall off of Andrea, who rolls to the floor in a

dead heap.

Everything falls still -- not a sound. It's over.

Roger immediately begins to give his daughter mouth to

mouth -- everyone watches on. Crying, praying, hoping...

A cough draws their attention -- it's Carolyn, who is

attempting to get her bearings... when she finally does,

she's overwhelme.....

THE END
