2. 1 EXT.MORNING.OVERCAST.NEWCASTLE WEST. 1
We begin with a series of montage shots fading into a
gloomy overcast breezy morning. the dead silence of town
square and the brushing of the wind blowing the trees back
and forth accompanied by an ideal crew flying away, "Awwk
awwk".
Dissolving slowly to the open view of a graveyard towards
the statue of our lady as we begin the opening with a
symphonic uneasy score.
As the titles commence the visual of blood drizzles down
our lady’s eyes fading into the apartment kitchen.
2 INT.MORNING.APARTMENT. 2
MS OF HOUSE EXT
LS OF KITCHEN
OTS ON NEWSPAPER
We see A short lad with short hair and a rugged black suit
with ripped black jeans and no tie sitting at the kitchen
table enjoying a morning cup of coffee reading an article
on the newspaper about a missing psychologist.
SLOW ZOOM OUT BACKWARDS FROM KITCHEN
OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT TOWARDS KITCHEN COUNTER

Another lad walks into the kitchen built in stature
wearing construction workers overalls casually leaning
against the kitchen counter swigging his cup of coffee

at Macarrig. He takes a deep breath before responding,
speaking in a minimum tone before lashing out aggressively
smashing his morning cup of Joe to peaces of the table.

Macarrig walks into the kitchen turning on the light and
removes all the messages from the bag casually putting
them on the table as we see the extreme close up of each
product
(CONTINUED)
9. CONTINUED: (2) 8.
after attending to the shopping Maccarrig walks into the
sitting room where he sees the television remaining on
standby displaying a blue screen. Turning on the second
light Maccarrig gets the shock of his life glancing at an
unfamiliar face on the couch next to flatmate Makey.
Maccarrig slaps Makey twice on the right and left side of
his face
MACCARRIG MCGOWAN
Makey you awake?OOO Makey
Marrig takes out a liquid from his pocket putting it to
his noise. Getting a rude awaking Makey sneezes
MAKEY LOUIS

MACARRIG MCGOWAN

that you tragically fell of a
very slippery scaffolding and got
smothered in cement. O my god do
you even know the meaning of low
profile ha!....He has to leave.
HEY wake up whoever you are and
get out of my fucking apartment.
Makey stretches while yawning very relaxed while Maccarig
tries is hand and rudely awaking the stranger on the far
side of the couch with no luck
MAKEY LOUIS
Your wasting your time
MACCARIG MCGOWAN
Shut your trap.!
Macarrig shakes the stranger aggressively trying to wake
him up with no luck. Makey staring at Macarrigs struggle
smiles calmly.
MAKEY LOUIS
He’s a lively one isn’t he!!
MACCARRIG MCGOWAN
I SAID SHUT UP!!
The Stranger drops to the floor dead as a cow pat.
Maccarig is shocked pausing for a second staring
daggers at the dead body swirling his finger around his
temple
Makey gets up and puts his arm on Maccarig shoulder
failing to make him feel at ease. Talking in a calm Manor
whispering into his ear.
MAKEY LOUIS
(Calm and assertive)
Now i know how this looks...
Don’t overreact. I can explain

MACCARRIG MCGOWAN

MACARRIG MCGOWAN
That’s him

Maccarrig Repetitively stroking his chin and cracking his
knuckles pointing at the dead psychologist.
MACARRIG MCGOWAN
YA! and his dead
MAKEY LOUIS
No no no no.. well yes,
just hear me out!
MACARRIG MCGOWAN
you crossed the line this time
Makey Ill listen to your excuse
but as far as I’m concerned. This
time you are not excused.
No remorse of sympathy Makey further insults the situation
and intentionally trying to provoke Maccarig by putting on
a stereotypical English accent in description of the
murder.
MAKEY LOUIS
Well good Sir! I rather got sick
of listening to his psychology
crap and gave him a taste of his
own medicine.. So i slipped in
his tea a pinch of pollen from
Johnny’s special flower.
Unfortunately I did not think it
would kill him. HOW UNFORTUNATE..
I guess the reaction just proved
too much for the Doctorate
professor. And the reaction was
astonishing. he basically went
through everything I went through
only he dropped dead after. So
when I think about it iv got a
stronger mind then he does. Now
obviously I didn’t want anybody
to see his corps at the office
soo.. I did what any reasonably

MAKEY LOUIS (CONT’D)
intelligent person would do.. I
took him home with me as a
souvenir. Don’t ask me how I just
did. "However" don’t get me wrong
I feel awful for it. I guess we
all make mistakes. Forgive and
forget as they say. Rite!? HEY!
If it makes you feel any better
we could close his eyes and
pretend his sleeping ha. how
about that,look at the big brain
on Sir Makey tada!!
Makey Closes the dead body’s eye’s.
Long Pause Maccarrig stars at Macy and swiftly exploding
into a raging rant knocking over everything in the sitting
room. throwing Chairs around the room and punching walls.
Macy smiles staring and making funny faces during
Maccarigs rant.
After his eruption Maccarig calms down and instinctively
tries to hide the body without questioning Macy’s terrible
action. He orders Macy to help him hide the body in the
spare closet.Suddenly the door bell rings.
Makey grabs the legs of the body and Macarrig grabs the
arms. The duo drag the body to the back closet.
MACARRIG MCGOWAN
(Explosive Resentful)
OO the devil shits on my fortune
once again.Answer that Makey and
whoever it is tell them to fuck
off.!! First help me move this
poor man into the closet. Grab
his legs there... and.. SHIFT..
The lads Drop the body in the closet.
MAKEY LOUIS
Hold on. I might be just paranoid
but I’m getting a weird vibe.
Your not angry at me are you?
Makey hands Maccarig the blanket and duvet from the couch.
Maccarig puts the blanket and duvet over the body at the
far corner of the room within all the junk.
MACARRIG MCGOWAN
No of course not.. you should be
proud. Hand me those qwelts on
the cough...Congratulations you
just won best homicidal lunybin

Answering the door Makey is greeted by a Guard. Appearing
intimidating and broad he shows Macy his ID Badge. A look
of uneasiness bestows upon Macy’s face but manages to keep
his composer.
5 EXT.EVENING.APARTMENT ENTRANCE. 5
Makey is greeted at the front door by two detectives
wearing uniforms
Appearing professional and serious they both show Makey
their ID badges sharply and causally taking off their
black sunglasses slotting them neatly into their waste
pockets
MALE DETECTIVE
Good afternoon young man.

recent sources would have us
believe that he was kidnapped
earlier today.
MAKEY LOUIS
Kidnapped.. O that’s terrible. Is
there anything I can do to help?
JOSE MCGRATH
Could you identify him for us if
possible?
Jose hands Makey a picture of the psychologist. Makey
takes a stare with recognition at the picture bluffing the
truth as he stars in trance at the photo
MAKEY LOUIS
are you sure its a kidnapping?
JOHN FLYN
Nothing can be proven yet. but no
traces of evidence can link us to
any suspects. Its quiet peculiar
actually.. He vanished rather
mysteriously.. and the only thing
found at the scene was this peace
of hair.. and a pair of black
gloves so we are urging anyone in
the local community to step
forward if they have seen our
heard anything suspicious that
can help our case
MAKEY LOUIS
I’m really sorry to disappoint
you detectives but this man is
not a familiar face. have you any
potential suspects in mind?
JOSE MCGRATH
We firmly believe if it was a
kidnapping the candidates
responsible were more then likely
one our perhaps more then one of
his clients
MAKEY LOUIS
Really!
JOHN FLYN
Also unfortunately for us the
database and CCTV footage have
been sabotaged by an unknown

The two detectives shake Makey’s hand and leave for their
car. As they drive away Makey sticks up his two middle
fingers
MAKEY LOUIS
OOO I will. By now
Meanwhile Maccarrig finds a very suspicious letter in
Makey’s waste coat. A letter regarding great interest. We
dissolve into Maccarrigs eyes with the transparent visual
letters and English man narrative as he reads it

final will,in which you were
named his heir. As such all of
his rightful assets are

Maccarig cringes in disbelief and puts the letter in his
pocket. Makey closes the door with his hands behind his

PATRICE LOUIS
Do you honestly want to back up

Patrice assertively puts on red lipstick retaining back
the makeup kit and smiles at Makey
PATRICE LOUIS

Maccarrig overhears the conversation. A Furious look
bestows upon his face walking slowly out of frame.
SLOW TRACKING SHOT TO KITCHEN
Macy and Patrice sit at the kitchen table. Johnny hands
them both a bear.

JOHNNY SPEED

27. CONTINUED: (9) 26.
MAKEY LOUIS
Down the hatch Johnny.
The two lads jug down the drinks while Patrice cheers them
in the background. Johnny looses the game staggering to
the couch. Macy is left standing just barley enough to get
to the sink and puke.
PATRICE LOUIS
Well done lads. Good game. Listen
Makey... I’m heading for a wash
alright. Sober up for yourself.
Have some toast our something.
Patrice walks out of the room and Macy beaches himself on
the kitchen chair taking a nap. Johnny beaches himself on
the couch in the sitting room.
Johnny picks up an unusual sent of the couch. covering his
mouth in disgust.
JOHNNY SPEED
What is that awful smell from the
couch. JESUS that’s bad. MAKEY
DID YOU LEAVE THE DOG IN SITTING
ROOM..? YOU SWEAR SOMEONE FLOUD
THEIR BOWLS! JESUS...
No answer from anyone and johnny decides to make his way
up to his room instead. Shannon still in the bathroom
getting sick briefly passes out on the seat of the toilet
but is awoken by future events.
FADE OUT
8 INT.NIGHT.APARTMENT.KITCHEN. 8
Everyone is finished drinking for the night. Shannon
sleeping on the cough and Johnny speed out for the count
on the floor in the sitting room. Patrice is upstairs
having a shower. meanwhile Macarrig greets Macy at the
table with something to say lighting up a cigarette.
Talking a bear from the fridge and casually sitting on the
chair next to Macy smoking his cigarette.
We view the crisp extreme close up of Maccarig opening the
can of bear oriented with the amplified sound of fizzy.
Casually with ease jugging back the can of bear.
MACARRIG MCGOWAN
(implosive/calm)
looks like everyone is out for
the count... did you have a good
night?

MAKEY LOUIS

Maccarig takes the letter from his pocket and throws it at
Macy. Macy is nervous but keeps his composer.

MACCARRIG MCGOWAN
(implosive)
Whats this you say. You tell me
it was in your waste coat
MAKEY LOUIS
Honestly.. I never saw that in my
life. Johnny must have put it
there. the little weasel!
Maccariig stars daggers at Macy and puts a recorder on the
table and plays it revealing the truth about Patrice and
Macy’s intentions. Stopping the recording he continues
jugging back swiftly the remains of his can and throwing
it with perfect accuracy into the bin.
Macy tries to keep his composer the best he can.
MACARRIG MCGOWAN
...... Let me tell you a story.
you like bed time story’s don’t
you.. Once upon a time there was
a Gardner.. he spend his days
trimming the hedges and thorns of
his beautiful sanctuary. He loved
his work and every soo often the
neighbors would come visiting
asking the good guarder to help
them with their thorns and
trusses.And he always said yes
...but... one day he released
that his own garden become
infested with rushes and thorns
so for the first time in donkeys
years he needed help cause he
couldn’t do it on his own. And
you know what the neighbors said.
they said NO. Excuse after excuse
after excuse I’m too busy.. I’m
too caught up... I’m too occupied
to give a shit in other words.

MACCARRICK MCGOWAN

Macy hands Maccarig a bear from the table that hand
foxgloves planted inside it. half drunk can Maccarrig
forgets with pride how suspicious that can was.

30. CONTINUED: (4) 29.
MACCARIG MCGOWAN

Drinking it whole Maccarrig gets poisoned to death by
foxgloves pollen slowly hyperventilating on the floor a
slow zoom to Macy motionless on the seat staring and
laughing at Maccarig as we experience the effect of being
exposed to the drunken amplified illusions and state of
toxicity through Maccarig’s eys.
MACARRIG MCGOWAN

Illusion slow motion laugh in the format of a demon

Johnny hears the noise and runs into the kitchen. Maccarig
dies on the floor trying to reach his gun. Johnny Speed
comes barging in.
JOHNNY SPEED
(Shocked/panicking)
WHAT THE FUCK, MACY WHAT HAPPENED

Hospital.
Johnny get his phone out. Macy tries to prevent him from
calling the hospital distracting him.
MAKEY LOUIS
No... don’t bother its Maccarig

him. I had no choice. Look at him
there.
Barley able to move our talk Maccarig grabs johnny’s pants
to warn him.
Slow motion effect
MACARRIG MCGOWAN
JOhnny.. Macy Poisoned me. Dont

Johnny turns swiftly rite into the front barrel of the
revolver. Staring into Macy’s eyes with disbelief. Macy
looks away from johnny as he shoots him stone dead.
MAKEY LOUIS
Im soo sorry Johnny
Bang
(CONTINUED)
31. CONTINUED: (5) 30.
Patrice walks in to the kitchen combing her hair dropping
her hair brush with a look of disgust and disbelief.
PATRICE LOUIS

god your hurt! what happened Macy

Macy is limping
MAKEY LOUIS

PATRICE LOUIS

Macy gives his sister an extended hug trying to stand up
and takes a knife out of his pocket holding Patrice by the
neck. He kisses her head and gently moves her fringe hair
to the side. applying pressure with the knife towards
Patrice’s Neck drawing a small wound and a drizzle of
blood.
PATRICE LOUIS (CONT’D)
AWWW..Makey what are you doing.

YOU PROMISED!!
Macy covers his sisters mouth with his hand whispering in
her ear
MAKEY LOUIS
SHHHH...I said we would share the
cut. To a Job well done hehe...
What a team we make..
Macy grips Patrice’s hand and cuts it. Then Macy cuts his
hand and forces them to shake each others bloody hands. a
tear flows down her eye in pain.
PATRICE LOUIS
AWWWW!!
Macy puts the gun to Patrice temple.
MAKEY LOUIS
mom.. yess.. I never did tell you
what happened mom did i!
Patrice goes into shock of silence and stars into Macy’s
eyes listening to his horror story that was a provoking
weapon of intimidation and psychological torture. A
convincing yet unreliable story.
(CONTINUED)
32. CONTINUED: (6) 31.
PATRICE LOUIS
(Implosive/angry/focused)
You dont know what happened
mom... Nobody knows... what
happened to mom.
MAKEY LOUIS
I remember it like it was
yesterday OO man I do. It was
cold dark gloomy night when mam
met her demise.the rain pelleted
down soo hard it was like a
bullet in your head.You cant even
imagine what it must be like to
WAKE UP IN YOUR OWWWN GRAVE and
see some random bastard shoveling
in the gravel. Grain - after -
grain. O HAHA and it was wet as
fuck so the gravel must have
stung like HELL. much more then
you feel now.. Her just crying
and begging to let her free.. I
mean what kind of person lies in
their grave in search of hope
RITE!. I mean WHO DOES THAT.. on
and on she went like a parrot..
The words Why son why. and Please
let me go, please let me go
please LET ME GOO. but after
awhile the burden of life became
all too real as I watched that
gravel take her life away.. the
screams lasted alright for a
brief i dont know.. about two
maybe three minutes And then
"suddenly"... I heard it. That
beautiful yet haunting
silence....gone
Patrice snaps grabbing Macy’s hand forcing him to fire two
shots into the air then biting him on the hand and
furiously back healing Macy into the wounded knee cap.
Macy falls to the floor trying to get up as fast as he
can. Patrice picks up the pistol as Macy turns and points
it at his temple.
Macy raptly starts laughing and slapping his hand off the
floor.
MAKEY LOUIS (CONT’D)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH ugh i

I’m soo proud.your becoming just
like me. Go on then... Blow my

princess.

MAKEY LOUIS
(Acceptance/Tad Emotional)
I am what I am princess. I’m well

psychology is going to change
that. Now send me to HELL..like
the hubris I am. just as well i
Killed mammy. She always thought
of you as disappointment. I
avenged your honer SIS. YOU OWE

Patrice loses her temper and goes and a raging rampage
hitting Macy over the head with the revolver then throwing
the gun across the room she aggressively beats Macy to
near death with her first until the dripping red blood
begins to stain her hands and splatted over her rosy
cheeks.
PATRICE LOUIS
DIEEEEEEEEE!!!
Patrice goes into emotional shock. Everything is in slow
motion as she kneels to the ground near her dead brother.
Staring at Macy she starts to loose her since of reality
as we see Patrice retreating back to her childhood in a
flashback sequence showing the domestic abuse of the two
siblings
As Macy’s voice starts to plague her mind believing that
she has become and always was destined to be like her
brother Patrice picks up the revolver and slowly points it
towards her temple.
A single tear flows down her cheek as she closes her eyes
and pulls the trigger.
Clic... Clic... Click
repeatably trying to pull the trigger with no bullets
Patrice shouts in anger throwing the gun aggressively
across the room. slouching down at the corner Shannon just
after the shock of events hiding in the bathroom crawls
over and comforts Patrice leaning against her.
PATRICE LOUIS (CONT’D)
(Emotionally Cold)
There was no bullets in that
thing.

Shannon smiles with glistening happy tears takes 4
bullets out of her pocket.
SHANNON WHITE
And your not getting anymore ever
again.
Patrice gives a cute happy laugh and glances into Shannon
eyes and leans in for a short passionate thank you kiss on
the lips.
SHANNON WHITE
What was that for?
Patrice Louis puts her hand on Shannon face softly
creasing her cheeks.
PATRICE LOUIS
Iv always wanted to kiss an
angel. And now I have...
Shannon gets up of the floor and goes to receive a diary
from Makey’s room.
SHANNON WHITE
wait here!
PATRICE LOUIS
Don’t worry not going anywhere
Shannon slouches down next to Patrice and opens the diary
revealing the poem Makey wrote.
Shannon shows the diary to Patrice as she reads out the
poem
SHANNON WHITE
Something for your conscious. go
on Read it.
Patrice reads out the article. She gets really emotional.
PATRICE LOUIS
I find that each day passes I am
dying to feed the wolves, crying
like a fool and those blood
thirsty eyes drain my fuel. O I
wish I wish I could say I am good
at hart but the nature of my
anguish is unquenchable.. an
unsustainable lust.. Lost in a
war trying to find my way to
now,a limitless sky falls over me
before I hit the ground.
threading thorns and tattered
skin I lay here upon the dirt
pondering what is sin.. waiting..

PATRICE LOUIS (CONT’D)
waiting on the result of my
apocalypse and with my dying

SHANNON WHITE

Shannon puts her hand on Patrice’s hand in comfort.
SHANNON WHITE

PATRICE LOUIS

Patrice slides the diary shut letting it drop from her
hands. The duo fall asleep on each other shoulders as we
fade out of frame displaying a long shot of the room to
conclude the story
END ROLL...
