FADE IN:
INT: PRISON CELL-NIGHT
KARLEE(20’s)stands up against the bars in a black jumpsuit,
a black choker with green flashing light surround her neck.
Her blond hair hangs in matted clumps, her blue eyes appear
sunken and the red pupils seem to have dulled. Her skin
once, porcelain-white now jaundiced.
She grabs the bars and looks straight ahead.
KARLEE:
I may be many things, but a killer
I am not.
(INTRO SONG)
INT: LIVING ROOM-NIGHT
Inside a moonlit living room sits MR. RILEY SCHWARTZ(52), on
a ripped up brown leather couch. His face contorted in
anger. His gray hair nearly ripped out, blood drips down
from self-inflicted wounds on his scalp. Skin hangs from his
bone, proving at one time he was, in fact, a very large man.
His pure black eyes fix on the door.
Footsteps are heard outside, the door swings open.
BERTH(V.O.):
((IN A DEEP DEMONIC TONE))
Come in I have been waiting for you
Karlee.

eyes with red pupils glisten in the pale moonlight. Her, now

black smoke emanates from it quickly turning into an arched
tornado.
Berth appears. His bright red skin and black marking stretch
over a 7 foot wide muscular frame.
BERTH:
You can have me.
Berth places his clawed hands out
in front of him. Allowing on of the

an led him away.
They pass Karlee, he turns his head toward her and winks.
The officers escort him outside.
Karlee’s eyes widen and follow Berth

the darkness.
BERTH:
Me, what do you mean love?
KARLEE:
What do I mean? I walk in and you

Karlee bites back a laugh.
KARLEE:
My oh my, still holding on to the
flame I see, even after all this
time.
Berth leans into the bars. He bows his head and giggle
sheepishly. His head snaps up, his smile gone.
BERTH:
Now, who is stroking their ego,
Karlee. They are coming,...
Karlee’s eyes widen, Berth grins coldly.
BERTH:
And you know it, don’t you. Feeling
peck-ish are we? How long did you
think you could suppress the true
Karlee?
Berth turns around and sit back down in the corner, once
again fully hidden by the shadows except for his eyes and
fanged teeth.
BERTH:
Go now! The humanity you coven
stinks and I need to save my
stomach for the coming feast.

His eyes widen, he stares straight at Glen.
Glen and all around him nod.
ADAM:
And, all the sudden truces,easy
arrest, the prisoners over a week
ago, that chant and now Karlee
is...
GLEN:
Yes, all is connected?
Adam lets out a huge sigh and c***s as cheesy smile.
Glen’s eyes widen.
GLEN:
Why are you smiling when all we
have done to rehabilitate all, is
coming undone.
Adam quickly took a solemn face and blushed.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 24.
ADAM :
Because don’t you see, Karlee
hasn’t gone to the other side
willingly, neither have the others!
Glen blinks and slowly smiles
GLEN:
We can get them back.
ADAM :
Yes! Now, the prisoners, they think
they got us, well I want a total
lock down-both magic and non-magic.
Also I want the Borns and Mades
separated, I don’t want them to
have any Mades joining them.
Adam turns toward the door and starts running out.
ADAM(O.S):
(yells)
Work on it!
The door slams shut.
Glen looks up toward the ceiling. His eyes scan the
universe-like ceiling.
He looks down, and notices all eyes on him.
GLEN:
Well we heard him. Shas, give me
all you know about the feast, no
matter how obscure.
A brown robed figure,SHAS, bows it’s head, and walks off. )

FUJITSU: (cont’d)
meekness. Anything I should be on
the look out for, sir?
ADAM :

deities they are praying to.
FUJITSU:
OK, sir.
INT:INTERROGATION ROOM
Inside a gray tomb-like room a blue light shine straight
down onto a single black table.
Baxster walks in.
As he walks in and sits down a flame appears in the opposite
chair.
MICKY,(29), a skinny lizard like demon appears out of the
flame. Being very timorous, Micky the jumps from the chair,
and runs over the corner. He crouches into the fetal
position.
Baxster walks over slowly and sits on the floor next to
Micky.
BAXSTER:
Hey Micky, how you been man,
getting enough to eat?
MICKY:
I, I b-been OK. I have eaten today
i-it’s too dangerous to go outside.
BAXSTER:
That is why I used the fire
transport, what would you like to
eat?
MICKY:
Chicken please.
BAXSTER:
OK, so have you heard anything
about this Feast or the Blood
Truth?
He turns his head toward to Micky.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 26.
MICKY:
All I know is that it is a massive
gathering and some of the Heretic
Priest are preparing the revival
for them.
Baxster jumps up Micky jumps in surprise.
BAXSTER:
Sorry...
The door opens a girl brings in a large plate and a bag of
baked chicken.
BAXSTER:
...come sit and eat. So you mean
that the Heretic Priest haven’t
finished the prep work?
Baxster sits down, Micky sit on the opposite side and starts
eating.
Micky nods his head up and down, his mouth full of chicken.
Baxster runs his hand above the table, a map materialize.
BAXSTER:
Can you point to where they are?
Micky’s eye become wide, a piece of
half-eaten chicken falls from his
mouth.
Baxster nods his head.
BAXSTER:
Just blink if I am warm and squeeze
them if I am there, OK.
Micky slowly nods his head.
Baxster points at a high mountain region on the map, all the
while looking at Micky-no reaction.
He moves his hand toward a forestry area, Micky blinks.
Baxster slowly moves his finger left, until he reaches the
coasts.
Micky squeezes his eyes shut and swallows his chicken
loudly.
MICKY:
(Shaky Whisper)
Thumb.
Baxster looks down at the map
His thumb hovers over Doolbhturt Cave.

Mitch is taken back.
INSPECTOR VAC:
Well they are doing the autopsy
today I was wondering when your
M.E. was going to show.
MITCH:
Oh, she is there, you just can’t
see her.
Inspector Vac looks blankly at Mitch and takes a large swig
of his Pepito-Bismol, Mitch smiles.
MITCH:
I’ll explain in the car.
INSPECTOR VAC:
I rather you not.
MITCH:
(laughter in his voice)
I why not.

on his long green glove, Inspector Vac and Mitch walk in.
Dr.suave:
Ah, you made it and here I thought you were going to skip,
out on it.
He turns toward the table and sees Mitch.
DR.SUAVE:

finally found you a partner.
INSPECTOR VAC:
He is a newbie-I, I’m showing him
the ropes.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 28.
DR.SUAVE:
Ah, OK. Shall we then?
A white haze in an almost human form comes into view on the
right side of Dr. Suave. It mimics Dr Suave’s movements.
Mitch bits back a giggle as he taps Inspector Vac on the
shoulder and points toward the invisible M.E..
Inspector Vac closes his eyes and sighs loudly.
DR.SUAVE:
I’m hurrying up.
Dr. Suave lowers his mask and adjust the microphones.

...accompanied by Inspector Andrew
Vac and Mitch Persinger. Autopsy of
the late Patrick O’Sullivan.
Patrick is a 32 year old Caucasian
male,2 meters and 95 kilograms. He
seems to have been a very athletic
and probably was quiet a ladies
man.
Inspector Vac rolls his his and looks down at his watch.
A smile slowly comes across Mitch’s face as he looks at
Dr.Swan and Inspector Vac.
The white mist moves around the table, Dr Swan, unknowingly,
follows suit.
The white mist goes through Inspector Vac.
Inspector Vac, slightly jumps and glares as Mitch with an
accusatory look in his eyes.
Mitch’s smile widens.
DR.SUAVE:
You OK.
Mitch start to laugh, but quickly stops.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 29.
INSPECTOR VAC:
Fine, just want you to hurry up so
I can get what I need and do my
job.
Dr. Suave turns his microphone off, sighs heavily and
crosses his arms.
DR.SUAVE:
Always the patient one, eh? I will
have your findings soon, but I need
to do it my way OK.
INSPECTOR VAC:
OK, I’ll come back later.
Mitch raises his eyebrow and quickly nods.
Both him and Inspector Vac leave.
INT: INSPECTOR VAC’S CAR-DAYTIME
Mitch’s cell phone-like device, he reads the screen and goes
pale. Inspector Vac starts weaving the car, trying to look
at the "e-mail".
MITCH:
Might as watch the road, regular
humans will see nothing but a blank
screen.
Inspector Vac straightens the car grumbling.
INSPECTOR VAC:
So can you tell me.
MITCH:
Um..
INSPECTOR VAC:
Well, you went pale so what did you
get?
MITCH:
It is just we have seen this
succubus before.

EXT:MOUTH OF CAVE-DAYTIME
At the mouth of the Doolbhturt cave,Adam, Baxster and
creatures,disguised in human form, dressed in all black swat
clothing and gear.
They stand in a semi-circle.
BAXSTER:
So this is where...we were told to
go, maybe with any luck we can stop
it and....
ADAM :
Find Karlee.
Baxster turns facing Adam, a grim expression on his face.
BAXSTER:
You know we’ll have to take her in,
even if she was not under her own
control.
Adam sighs heavily and runs his hand through his hair.
ADAM :
I know, I know. I have already told
Fujitsu that all personal brought
in are to be housed separately.
Baxster nods his head.
BAXSTER:
Ready?
Adam nods
BAXSTER:
OK, let’s go.
INT: DEEP INSIDE CAVE
A torch lit tunnel is slowly swept by the swat team. They
come up to a side room. A black altar in the middle of a
blood filled moat.
Sudden flames surround the edge of the moat.
The sounds of spiked heels is heard.
The swat team slink into the shadows waiting for the attack.
KARLEE ENTERS
31.
INT: DEEP INSIDE CAVE
Karlee walks out in a snake skin dress, slit on both sides.
Her blond hair softly covers her shoulders. Her smoky,
seductive eyes, scan the group, as if, looking for prey.
ADAM :
Karlee!
Adam starts to run toward her, she raises her arms and the
flames rise higher.
A wavy image of her is seen.
In a seductive yet sarcastic tone she lowers the flames and
speaks.
KARLEE :
Ah, Adam, how have you been? You
will be pleased to know I did try
to stay good for weeks.
HERETIC PRIEST 1:
And she would have stayed good,
longer, if she hadn’t met up with
Berth. And, would have been able to
warn you, if she hadn’t went to
talk to Berth.
INT: PRISONER HOLDING CELLS-FLASH BACK.
Karlee stops as her hand reaches the knob.
BERTH:
I know you will, but will it be in
time?
Karlee turns her head and stares.
BERTH:
(Whispers)
(In Latin)
Revert
The middle of Karlee’s forehead, her "third eye" flashes
bright red, under her skin.
Karlee turns around, inhales a shaky breath and walks out
the door.
32.
INT: ALTAR ROOM
KARLEE :
So I must thank you, Adam,
for(beat) reminding me of who I am.
Adam breaths heavily and snaps.
ADAM:
And I must thank you Karlee, we
might have not figured out how to
stop this, if it wasn’t for you.
Karlee looks at the Heretic Priest
and laugh.
KARLEE :
Maybe so, but you can’t stop it.
ADAM :
We are here
HERETIC PRIEST 1:
But, this is only one.
One swat member is noticed in the left corner behind Karlee
and the Heretic Priest.
A hypnotic, gypsy-like music can be heard as Karlee slowly
walks toward him.
The swat member pretends to freeze and to be under her
spell.
Karlee inches toward him smiling.
KARLEE :
You want me to come to you.
SWAT MEMBER 1:
I want you to come to me.
She comes closer.
KARLEE :
You want me to touch you.
SWAT MEMBER 1:
I want you to touch me.
She reaches him and touches his face.
Swat Member 1 grabs her wrist, pretending to want to be
closer. He wraps his arm around her.
She turns around and lays her head, were his shoulder is and
closes her eyes.
He changes into a centaur. He wraps his arm tighter.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 33.
KARLEE :
You love me.
SWAT MEMBER 1:
No, sorry.
Karlee opens her eyes and tries to turn around, he tighten
his grip and puts his flame-gun under her throat.
KARLEE :
What!
She looks toward the the Heretic Priest, who is also in
custody.
Ramala walks in.
Adam, Baxster and the swat leave, with Karlee and the
Heretic Priest in secure shackles.
Five more shaman come in as they leave.
Ramala walks up to the edge of the altar. The other shaman
walk up and encircle the altar.
With their hands raised, clasped together, they start to
chant.
EXT:MOUTH OF CAVE-DAYTIME
As the helicopter lifts off, multi-colored streaks come out
of the mouth of the cave.
INT:PRISON HOLDING CELL
Karlee paces her cell, her porcelain white skin has taken on
a waxy yellow appearance. Though once a tall and, with a
proper posture, now has an elderly-like gait.
INT: PRISON MONITORING CENTRE
As Fujitsu, Adam and Mitch watch Karlee from the Monitoring
Room.
Screams echo throughout the halls.
Fujitsu shakes his head,
FUJITSU:
I don’t believe it, this is not
like her.
MITCH:
Not the Karlee we know, she is
under that spell. I hope we find
all the priest, spoil the coming
and bring her back.
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 34.
MITCH: (cont’d)
Another bout of screams echo
throughout the halls.
ADAM :
Ramala said that we would know when
a altar was brought down, by their
scream of guilt.
FUJITSU:
That is not what I mean.
ADAM :
Then what?
FUJITSU:
Even before we implanted the
modifier, the first time, she
didn’t do...
He picks up the autopsy photos.
FUJITSU:
...she didn’t kill her victims.
Yes, she took their testosterone,
but not enough to kill him.
Sesame walks in.
They look at him.
SESAME:
Well, it has been over what four
hundred years. I have noticed, a
few others, they seem to be in
overdrive. For example, Chester,
the snake demon, how once use to
horde and play with his food, now
eats immediately.
MITCH:
So it is like they are going on a
binge or something?
SESAME:
Precisely!
They all look back at the monitor.
More screams echo throughout the halls.
MITCH:
Bloody hell, how many altars are
there?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 35.
ADAM :
Ramala and Shas’s group says they
are all over the world. I have been
coordinating with agents and Human
governments everywhere, to round up
the reverts.
MITCH:
Even, the non-aggressive? I mean
they are too much of a threat.
SESAME:
Not to the human population but,
think what they could be forced to
do.
FUJITSU:
Especially since no one would think
twice about them doing something.
ADAM :
Right,so it is more of a
protection, then an arrest.
Karlee falls to the floor.
Mitch goes down to her cells as she
starts to get up.
She pulls herself up and grabs a hold of the bars, looking
straight at Mitch.
KARLEE:
I may be many things, but a killer
I am not. You know that Mitch.
Mitch sighs
MITCH:
I know Karlee, I promise we will
get you back! But may I asked why
didn’t you come to us, why did you
go to Berth alone? I mean how could
you be so stupid.
Karlee looks down.
KARLEE :
I thought I could handle it alone.
36.
INT: IN FRONT OF BERTH’S CELL
Adam stands in front of Berth’s cell, a smirk on his face.
ADAM :
Thank you.
Berth growls and comes up to the bars.
BERTH:
I’ll rip your throat out.
ADAM :
Like I said thank you. You helped
us stop the Blood Truth from
undoing all we have accomplished.
Berth slinks back into the shadows.
INT: LARGE OVAL OFFICE
Karlee once again back to perfect health, walks into Adams
office.
KARLEE :
You wanted to see me.
Adam stands up and glares up at
her.
ADAM :
You are on administrative leave.
KARLEE :
What, I was cleared, Adam !
ADAM :
So, you are going on leave because
I am pissed off at you...
KARLEE :
But...
ADAM :
...and either you turn around and
take this I’ll make it an unpaid
leave, you get me.
KARLEE :
Crystal, see you in two months,
I’ll be working...
Adam leans into the table.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 37.
ADAM :
On nothing, do you hear me!
Karlee smiles widely, turns around walks just over the
threshold, she turns her head to look at Adam.
KARLEE :
...on my tan!
