2. 1
INT SCENE: DAY TIME, ON IWOA FARM.
A house in Iowa, USA with a white picket fence and flowers
abloom, the pale blue of the building glistening in the sun. A
white barn next to it with un-godly noises coming from within.
Lori
What is that noise coming from the barn, has
a wolf got our Masiey, Zander go have a look.
Zander
(with a croak in his voice)
Yes mother, pass me the shotgun just incase I have
to fight off the wolf.
Lori
For god sake Zand, (throws keys) It’s up
stairs in the cupboard at the base of the
attic.
A wide shot of the stairs, a tracking shot of zander
walking up the stairs. A shot of the cupboard such
as a realization shot is shown, a cross is hanging
above the gun cupboard. Zander opens the cupboard,
grabs the gun and walks with confidence down the
stairs.
LORI
Hurry up Zander, I can’t afford to lose
another cow.
EXT SCENE; you see a fast walking young man heading
towards the barn, cocking the shot gun as he walks.
The growling noise from the barn becomes louder,
making zanders heart race.
ZANDER
mierda!

LORI
(On the phone)
Hello, is this Miss Lori Sanchez, I need your
help.
A WIDE SHOT SHOWS A TACI PULLING UP WITH TWO PRIESTS
STEPPING OUT, A BREEZE BLOWS THEIR ROBES WHILST ONE OF
THE PREISTS GIVE A PROLONGED GLARE AT THE BARN.
PRIEST ROSA
I can sense the devil here, the smell of
rotten meat in the air, the burnt ground and
the dark clouds surrounding this house. Its
time.
A FAST CUT IS USED TO SHOW THE PRIESTS EMPTYING
THEIR BRIEF CASES, REMOVING THEIR BIBLES AND
ROSEMARY BEADS, WHILST ZANDER AND AN ASSISTANT TIE
UP RUTH TO A BED.
ZANDER
I’m so sorry sister, please don't cry but you
aren't you anymore you need this please
listen to me.
RUTHA CRYS AND PLEADS FOR IT TO NOT HAPPEN, BUT THE
PREIST TELL THE FAMILY TO IGNORE IT AS IT IS NO
LONGER THEIR SISTER/DAUGHTER.
PREIST MARCUS
(speaking quietly to himself)
In the Name of Jesus Christ, our God and
Lord, strengthened by the intercession of the
Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of
Blessed Michael the Archangel, of the Blessed
Apostles Peter and Paul and all the Saints.
and powerful in the holy authority of our
ministry, we confidently undertake to repulse
the attacks and deceits of the devil.
Water is thrown over Rutha and the devil inside
instantly reacts
RUTHA
(DEVIL INSIDE SPEAKING)
4. 3
Holy water, oh you stupid putas! Nothing you
touch is holy anymore Rosa, you are just like
me. A devil hiding within an innocent. No
person who did what you did in 75 is
innocent.
FAST SHOT BETWEEN RUTH AND THE PREIST. PREIST ROSA
SHOWS A QUICK LOOK OF ANGER, SHAKES HIS HEAD AND
CARRIES ON.
PREIST ROSA
Behold the cross of the Lord, flee bands of
enemies.
(Gripping onto his rosemary beads as he
prays)
PREIST MARCUS
The Lion of the tribe of Juda, the offspring
of David, hath conquered. We drive you from
unclean spirits, all satanic powers, infernal
invaders, all wicked legions, all assemblies,
sects and us, whoever you may be. Rutha
reacts, the devil inside throws her around
the bed, making a loud deep laughing sound.
RUTHA
(DEMON SHOUTING)
I AM NOW IN CONTROL, JUST GIVE UP YOULL NEVER
GET RID OF ME, BRUSH ME UNDER THE CARPET AS
YOU HAVE MY COUSINS. I, SHACHATH WILL NOT BE
BANISHED WITH SUCH DISRESPECT. (An ungodly
growl follows this speech)
PREIST ROSA
God the Father commands you. God the Son
commands you. God the Holy Ghost commands
you. Christ, God's Word made flesh, commands
you; He who to save our race outdone through
your envy.
FLASH BACK; YOU SEE RUTHA AS A YOUNG GIRL PLAYING IN
THE YARD WITH HER FRIEND, IN WHITE DRESSES SHOWIN
PURITY, THEN THE DEAD CAT HER FRIEND HIT AND BLOOD
SPLASHED ALL OVER THEM, SYMBOLIZES THE BEGINNING OF
THE TURN INTO RUIN.
RUTHA
5. 4
(SHACHATH SHOUTING)
ITS NO HELP SHE IS LOST.
ZANDER
Rutha is you can hear me, follow my voice and
fight it off, you can do this, please pull
though. (Tears slowly cascade down his
cheeks)
THE DEMON THROWS ZANDER ACROSS THE ROOM, COMING TO
AN ALMIGHTY THUD AGAINST THE WALL.
RUTHA
(EVIL LAUGHS FOLLOWED BY A GROWL AND A HEAD SHARP
TURN AND SCREAMS IN LATIN ABOUT THE DEVIL)
HELLO PREIST ROSA, REMEMBER ME, THE LITTLE
BOY YOU RAN OVER ON A DRUNKEN BENDER IN 75
AND LEFT FOR DEAD. LITTLE BOY IN BLUE.
PREIST ROSA
(NOW SHOUTING)
MAY CHRIST COMPEL YOU!
(Throws holy water over Rutha's head once more.)
The room is dark, dull and has a bad smell in the
air. The priests are fighting back the demon whilst
zander and Lori are in the corner scared out of
their wits. The bed on which Rutha is lying is now
slowly rising off the ground.
FADE OUT
RUTHA
Help me, I can’t do this anymore, it hurts,
goodbye.
QUICKLY SHACHATH TAKES OVER AND BEGINS TO LAUGH.
She’s given me permission, goodbye Rutha you
weak girl. Also Lori I don’t get why you are
so upset, didn’t you try to kill both of your
kids, two children under 5, one bath tub. You
are a sinner cloaked in fake religion.
6. 5
LORI
How do you know this?!
RUTHA
I am the devil, bitch.
LORI
JUMPS UP AND BEGINGS TO STRANGLE HER
DAUGTHER.
How dare you, I should’ve killed you, I
always knew you were evil.
RUTHA
(SHACHATH SHOUTING)
STRANGLE ME HARDER LORI HAHAHAHAHAHA.
SOMETHING HAPPENS WITH RUTHA AND SHE BEGINS TO FOAM
AT THE MOUTH, THE DEVIL HAS FOUND A BETTER VESSEL,
LORI.
YOU SEE A DARK MIST FLY ACROSS THE ROOM AND GO INTO
LORI, JOLTING HER HEAD BACK AS IT HAPPENS, A
HORRYING GRIN APPEARS.
FAST SHOTS WITH LOUD MUSIC.
DARK LIGHTING FAST CUT SHOTS OF EVERYONE IN THE
ROOMS FACE, SHOWING DIFFERENT EMOTIONS.
Dissolves in
YOU SEE A DARK SHADOW LEAVE RUTHA; SHE JOLTS UP
RIGHT AND SCREAMS. YOU SEE HER RETURN TO NORMAL BUT
SHE BEGINS TO BLEAD OUT.
ZANDER
(SHOUTING)
RUTHA, NO, YOU CAN PULL THROUGH.
It fades out, to memories of before the devil's
possession.
