Final draft of script

FADE IN:
INT. PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL, CORRIDOR - DAY
DOCTOR LUMINAL and DETECTIVE KANE proceed down a long bleak corridor.
KANE carries a briefcase as he walks.
DOCTOR LUMINAL
Detective, I must reiterate the seriousness of his condition.. He's in a delicate state.
DETECTIVE KANE glances over at her.
DETECTIVE KANE
I understand that his welfare comes first to you. But a girl is missing, and he's the only lead I have.
DOCTOR LUMINAL
I know you need to find this girl. But if you go in there and push him, he'll regress and become useless to you.
KANE glares at her.
DETECTIVE KANE
That bastard shouldn't have been let out of his cell. It was one of you, who cleared that arsehole for re-entry into society.
DETECTIVE KANE comes to a standstill and LUMINAL turns to face him.
DETECTIVE KANE (CONT'D)
Do you want me to find her?
DOCTOR LUMINAL
Of course I do.
LUMINAL walks away from KANE and approaches a door.
She peers inside.
KAL WAYNE is sat behind a large table with his head clutched in his hands.
LUMINAL twists round and stares at KANE.
DOCTOR LUMINAL (CONT'D)
Just so you know Detective, I'm the arsehole who released him.
KANE looks away momentarily embarrassed.
DOCTOR LUMINAL (CONT'D)
Wait here.
She opens the nearby door and enters.
CUT TO:
INT. INTERROGATION ROOM
As DOCTOR LUMINAL enters, KAL takes his head out of his hands and looks at her.
KAL WAYNE
Luminal?
DOCTOR LUMINAL
The Detective is here, he wants to ask you some questions.. Do you remember why?
LUMINAL crosses the room and stops in front of KAL.
KAL WAYNE
Yes.. I still don't know where she is.
LUMINAL turns back to the door and opens it part way.
KAL WAYNE (CONT'D)
Where are going? Don't leave me?
DOCTOR LUMINAL
Don't worry I'm staying here.
She leans out the door.
DOCTOR LUMINAL (CONT'D)
Kane.
LUMINAL comes back into the room and stands to the side as DETECTIVE KANE enters.
He makes his way over to a chair sat in front of the table closest to the door.
KANE sits down and opens his case, whilst LUMINAL positions herself on a seat in the corner of the room.
KAL appears restless and troubled as KANE pulls out a case file.
He opens the file and places a photo of ALICE LANE onto the table surface.
KAL looks from KANE to LUMINAL
DOCTOR LUMINAL (CONT'D)
It's alright Kal, just answer his questions.
DETECTIVE KANE
Do you remember her?
KAL sits motionless looking at the picture.
DETECTIVE KANE (CONT'D)
Her name is Alice Lane, surely you recognise her?
KAL returns his gaze onto the DETECTIVE.
DETECTIVE KANE (CONT'D)
You were the last person seen with her.
(He jabs his finger at KAL.)
KAL visibly tenses at this gesture before looking away.
DETECTIVE KANE (CONT'D)
Maybe this will jog your memory.
DETECTIVE KANE pulls out a pack of Tarot cards and places them in front of KAL.
He stares at the cards.
DETECTIVE KANE (CONT'D)
This was the only thing found on you, care to tell me why?
KAL shakes his head and picks up the cards.
DETECTIVE KANE (CONT'D)
Why not?
He revolves the pack in his hands before opening it.
KAL thumbs through the cards and picks out The Moon card.
He places it on the table followed by The Chariot, The Lover and The Hermit.
KAL places the cards in a line directly underneath the Moon card.
KAL WAYNE
Do you like apple pie?
DETECTIVE KANE
Excuse me?
KAL WAYNE
I don't, I prefer blueberry.
DETECTIVE KANE slams the his hand down on the table startling KAL and LUMINAL.
DOCTOR LUMINAL
What are you doing?
KANE glances back at her before returning back to KAL.
KAL WAYNE
I'm scared.
KANE jumps out of his seat knocking it backwards onto the floor.
DETECTIVE KANE
Your scared, what about Alice.
KAL WAYNE
Please I -
DETECTIVE KANE
You took her didn't you Kal?
KANE moves round the table to KAL.
DETECTIVE KANE (CONT'D)
You forced her to go with you. But she didn't want to, so you hurt her.
KAL WAYNE
No.. I didn't.. I can't remember.
DETECTIVE KANE
Where Is She?
KANE pulls KAL'S seat out from under him.
LUMINAL suddenly moves from her chair towards KANE.
As KAL slams down onto the floor, KANE positions himself over him.
DETECTIVE KANE (CONT'D)
Tell Me Where She Is You Bastard.
KAL cowers on the ground.
LUMINAL grabs KANE'S arm and he spins round to face her.
DOCTOR LUMINAL
Outside Now.
CUT TO:
INT. CORRIDOR
DETECTIVE KANE crashes out from the interrogation room closely followed by DOCTOR LUMINAL.
DOCTOR LUMINAL
What the hell is wrong with you?
DETECTIVE KANE
I Have No Time For This, That Girls Life Is At Stake.
DOCTOR LUMINAL
Well Done Detective, thanks to you that girl is going to die.
KANE stares intently at LUMINAL.
DOCTOR LUMINAL (CONT'D)
I'm going to have you escorted from the premises.
DETECTIVE KANE
I have to find out where she is. If you stop me she'll never be found.
DOCTOR LUMINAL
And how do you purpose to do that. Since you couldn't keep your composure, It'll be impossible to talk to Kal now.
DETECTIVE KANE
I'll talk to one of the others then.
DOCTOR LUMINAL
Fine, I'll set it up.
LUMINAL turns away from KANE and looks back towards KAL.
CUT TO:
INT. CHURCH - EVENING
ON SCREEN TITLE - REV. HORNE'S TALE
O.S SFX. - Rain
REVEREND DERRICK HORNE is sitting on a church pew, deep in thought. Alongside him rests a paper, its headline reads 'Priest's Son Diagnosed With Autism'.
HORNE appears deeply tormented and restless.
The sound of the church door opening breaks HORNE from his brooding state.
He turns to see ALICE LANE entering the church, whose clothes are soaked through.
ALICE stands hesitantly in the main aisle.
REVEREND HORNE
Do you want something?
She timidly moves forwards, leaving a trail of water behind her on the floor.
ALICE LANE
Father -
REVEREND HORNE
I'm not doing confession tonight.
REVEREND HORNE turns his back to ALICE and resumes his sullen posture.
ALICE is clearly shaken at HORNE'S tone and demeanour.
She glances back towards the church door and looks back at HORNE.
Alice slowly approaches Reverend Horne.
ALICE LANE
Please, Father.. I need help.
Horne reluctantly faces her as she comes to a standstill beside him.
He gets up from his seat and proceeds into the confession booth.
ALICE follows his movements before heading into the adjacent booth.
CUT TO:
I/E. CONFESSION BOOTH & CHURCH INTERIOR
REVEREND HORNE
What is it my child?
ALICE shifts uneasily on her seat.
ALICE LANE
..I ..
She wipes tears away from her eyes.
REVEREND HORNE remains silent behind the curtain separating the opening in the booths.
ALICE LANE (CONT'D)
..This is.. Difficult for me, Father.
REVEREND HORNE
Take your time.
ALICE takes a deep breath.
ALICE LANE
I haven't spoken to anyone about this.. Why did it have to happen?
She glances in HORNE'S direction.
ALICE LANE (CONT'D)
I don't understand.. Why did God allow this?
REVEREND HORNE appears troubled and distracted.
ALICE LANE (CONT'D)
..That Man, why should I have to face this burden?
HORNE isn't paying attention.
ALICE LANE (CONT'D)
Does God not recognise my pain?
HORNE looks agitated as he catches ALICE'S final question.
ALICE LANE (CONT'D)
..Father?
REVEREND HORNE opens the curtain and stares at ALICE.
REVEREND HORNE
Pain. You don't know pain, child.
ALICE LANE looks across at HORNE amazed at his outburst.
REVEREND HORNE (CONT'D)
My Son Is Autistic, he'll never lead a normal life.. Why him, why me. His life will be a constant struggle, I want to bring him home from Redhill Hospital. He's had enough tests.. He'll never get better.. My faith, hasn't done me any good, and it won't for you.
ALICE turns away from him and slams out the confession booth.
She removes a crucifix from around her neck and hangs it on the edge of a pew.
ALICE runs straight out the church wiping her tears from her eyes as she leaves.
CUT TO:
I/E. CONFESSION BOOTH & CHURCH INTERIOR
REVEREND HORNE is slumped against the back of the confession booth wall.
A dawning realisation crosses over his features and he hurriedly exits the booth.
HORNE catches sight of ALICE'S crucifix necklace and lifts it of the pew; he contemplates it for a moment before looking in the direction of the church entrance.
He starts to run towards it.
CUT TO:
EXT. ROCKY OUTCROPPING
REVEREND HORNE chases after ALICE'S lone figure in the distance.
REVEREND HORNE
Alice, Wait!
HORNE follows after ALICE into a fog ridden rocky outcropping.
REVEREND HORNE (CONT'D)
Alice, I'm sorry. Please forgive me.. Alice!
He makes his way though the twisting labyrinth, straining to see Alice Lane.
CUT TO:
INT. INTERROGATION ROOM
DETECTIVE KANE's jacket rests on the rear of his seat as he leans into its back rest.
His arms are folded across his chest as he watches REVEREND HORNE.
DOCTOR LUMINAL remains guarded as she watches KANE and HORNE.
REVEREND HORNE
I couldn't find her, I swear..
HORNE looks from KANE to LUMINAL pleadingly.
REVEREND HORNE (CONT'D)
I failed her Detective. It was my fault, I should have seen it in time. But I was to caught up in my own problems to realise, what she was telling me.. God forgive me.
DOCTOR LUMINAL
It's okay Derrick. Thank you for telling us.
DETECTIVE KANE
Excuse me Reverend, I need a piss.
KANE walks out of the interrogation room.
CUT TO:
INT. PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL, CORRIDOR
Visibly agitated DETECTIVE KANE composes himself as he leans against a wall.
As DOCTOR LUMINAL emerges out into the corridor, KANE looks over to her.
DOCTOR LUMINAL
Kane? Are you alright?
DETECTIVE KANE
No, I'm not. How the hell am I supposed to find her with that.
DOCTOR LUMINAL
I'm sure you'll figure it out.
DETECTIVE KANE
..Maybe.
KANE pushes himself off the wall and proceeds down the corridor.

EXT. LUXURY HOME - NIGHT
ON SCREEN TITLE - JESSICA COBB'S TALE.
JESSICA COBB moves past a street sign reading 'Redhill Boulevard' as she heads up to the front gate of a luxurious house.
The security guards at the gate check her invitation and she is let through.
She proceeds up the drive way to the large building.
CUT TO:
INT. LUXURY HOME
JESSICA progresses smoothly amongst glamorously dressed people, as she makes her way upstairs with a drink in hand.
As she slinks her way past, JESSICA eyes both men and women provocatively.
Upon reaching the top of the stairs, JESSICA heads outside onto a balcony.
CUT TO:
EXT. LUXURY HOME, BALCONY
ALICE stands leaning against the balcony stone railing looking over a lit swimming pool.
Several large houses dominate the immediate landscape, in front of an expansive city.
JESSICA catches sight of ALICE in her figure hugging blue satin backless dress.
She gazes over her body and moves towards ALICE, as a young couple head past JESSICA inside.
They are completely alone.
JESSICA COBB
Hello.
ALICE peers over her shoulder and notices JESSICA.
ALICE LANE
Hi.
JESSICA comes over to ALICE and leans sideways against the railing facing her.
She becomes transfixed at her beauty.
ALICE shifts uncomfortably under her gaze.
JESSICA COBB
Your very beautiful.
Shyly ALICE turns to JESSICA.
ALICE LANE
..Thank you.. Your pretty as well.
(Shyly)
JESSICA lightly runs her hand over ALICE'S arm; she appears nervous.
JESSICA COBB
So, where do we go from here?
ALICE LANE
Excuse me?
JESSICA smiles mischievously at her.
She places her hand tenderly onto the side of ALICE'S face and she blushes in embarrassment.
JESSICA moves her hand to the back of ALICE'S neck and pulls her towards herself; she kisses her tenderly on the lips before pulling away.
ALICE looks away timidly before returning her gaze into JESSICA'S eyes.
JESSICA takes her hand in hers and pulls her towards the balcony exit.
CUT TO:
EXT. LUXURY HOME, STREET
ALICE leads the way closely followed by JESSICA.
She rounds a corner out of JESSICA'S view and screams.
JESSICA halts in her stride before dashing round the corner to see a Van driving away at speed.
CUT TO:
INT. INTERROGATION ROOM
JESSICA leans forwards in her chair facing DETECTIVE KANE.
DETECTIVE KANE
Do you remember anything unique about the van?
JESSICA COBB
No, I don't. I've had enough of your questions detective
DETECTIVE KANE
Well Jessica, the questions are going to keep on coming. Till I'm satisfied -
JESSICA COBB
How about we do something exciting all three of us, together.
DETECTIVE KANE
What are you talking about?
JESSICA bends towards the table so that her cleavage is on display.
KANE looks away unimpressed.
JESSICA appears disappointed but she turns her attention towards LUMINAL.
JESSICA COBB
How about you? I've seen you with Doctor Sonia Paige. We could have some fun together.
KANE glances back over his shoulder at LUMINAL and sees her blushing slightly.
LUMINAL shifts uncomfortably in her seat.
DOCTOR LUMINAL
No thank you, I'm quite alright.
JESSICA COBB
Maybe later then.
KANE gets up from his chair and presses his fists down onto the table.
He stares hard at JESSICA.
DETECTIVE KANE
Shut up and leave her alone.
LUMINAL glances over at KANE.
DETECTIVE KANE (CONT'D)
And listen to me you hedonistic slut. Answer my questions and you can have all the fun you want.
JESSICA laughs contemptuously at KANE and he moves back from the table clenching his fists.
JESSICA COBB
Is that a promise?
DETECTIVE KANE
If this girl dies, I'm going to relish bringing the full weight of the law down on you.
JESSICA looks upon KANE full of anger and hate.

He smartens his dark green wool coat and proceeds away from the hut.

EXT. CARNIVAL
Inside a ticket booth, JACK accepts money and hands over tickets rhythmically to customers.
He gives them little attention until ALICE arrives at his booth, alone.
JACK looks up mesmerised at her exquisiteness, his different coloured eyes stare transfixed.
He nervously makes a gibbering sound.
ALICE is briefly startled at the noise before relaxing.
ALICE LANE
One please.
JACK takes her money and gives ALICE a ticket.
He watches her form disappear under a large banner which has 'Welcome to Redhill Carnival' emblazoned across it.
CUT TO:
I/E. CARNIVAL
JACK follows ALICE discreetly as she comes to a BEARDED LADY dancing a jig.
ALICE watches the LADY with amusement before moving on.
JACK makes a rambling sound that causes ALICE to spin round.
He narrowly manages to hide from her view.
She looks over the crowd of people and attractions before continuing on.
JACK resumes shadowing her.
Upon reaching SHARK BOY'S water tank. ALICE marvels at the spectacle tacking place as the BOY dives though numerous rings.
CUT TO:
INT. ABANDONED OFFICE BUILDING.
JACK SUMMERS, neatly dressed in a suit and long black coat moves with purpose, clutching a short barrelled pump action shotgun.
He heads vigilantly down a wet corridor strewn with debris.
JACK SUMMERS V.O
I knew that the job would be weird one. But I couldn't be prepared for what I was about to face.
Fire embers materialise abruptly out from a hole in the wall causing JACK to dart through an open doorway.
JACK glances behind himself and sees the fire course past.
LISA
Help.
(Strained)
JACK twists round to see LISA suspended in a large water tank.
JACK SUMMERS V.O
Lisa, she was my objective. I had to save her, help her.
JACK SUMMERS
Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you.
LISA
NO, Stay Away From Me. Please, don't touch me.

As he moves towards LISA a creature emerges through a large gap in the far left wall.

(Confused)
DOCTOR LUMINAL
Jack, Kane wants to know about Alice. I'll hear this story later, so -
DETECTIVE KANE
Stay Focused, and tell me what I want to know. Not some fantastical tale about you and Lisa, Okay.
JACK SUMMERS
Are you sure you don't want me finish?
KANE folds his arms over his chest.
DETECTIVE KANE
Yes, please continue telling me about Alice.
CUT TO:
I/E. CARNIVAL
JACK moves after ALICE as she passes by a scantily clad young WOMAN.
ALICE comes to a stop and watches with amazement as the WOMAN performs fire Poi.
JACK does not notice as ALICE begins to head away from the WOMAN.
Upon looking away from the WOMAN, JACK spots ALICE walking off.
Suddenly a bright shaft of white light erupts down from the sky.
The light flickers away leaving a grey skinned ALIEN in its place.
ALICE reels at the sight of the ALIEN and falls backwards.
The ALIEN looks at her with interest before pointing his gangly arm at her.
ALIEN
You, You will make an excellent specimen.
ALICE crawls away from the ALIEN as he approaches her.
JACK marches forwards in their direction
JACK SUMMERS
Leave her alone!
ALICE twists her head round and appreciatively gazes on JACK.
The ALIEN glares at JACK and draws his raygun.
ALIEN
You dare stand against me, human.
JACK sidesteps to the right into an open space and is followed by the ALIEN.
JACK SUMMERS
I won't allow you to hurt her.
A ferris wheel towers over the ALIEN, as he comes to a halt several yards in front of JACK.
Whilst JACK and the ALIEN stare at each other. JACK pulls out a grenade from his coat pocket.
The ALIEN smiles to himself and raises his raygun; he fires simultaneously as JACK dives throwing his grenade.
JACK is grazed across his shoulder as his grenade detonates at the ALIEN'S feet.
He groggily comes to his feet and heads towards ALICE, who rushes up to JACK and wraps her arms around him.
She kisses him just as a bright white light envelops them.
CUT TO:
EXT. OVERGROWN CARPARK - DAY
JACK slowly pulls himself upright and observes that he is in the middle of a carpark. Where grass has sprouted out from numerous holes across it.
He gets to his feet and begins to walk off into the horizon.
CUT TO:
INT. INTERROGATION ROOM
DETECTIVE KANE sits across form JACK SUMMERS.
He pushes his seat backwards and sits forwards resting his arms on the table, whilst DOCTOR LUMINAL looks at them both.
DETECTIVE KANE
Is that it? Aliens took her.
JACK stares at KANE.
JACK SUMMERS
Yes, the damn alien took her. We have to speak to NASA right away -
DOCTOR LUMINAL leans forwards in her chair and rests her arms on her knees.
DETECTIVE KANE
Aliens don't exist!
DOCTOR LUMINAL
You don't know that? Do you know there isn't any more life in the universe?
KANE glares at LUMINAL.
DETECTIVE KANE
No, I don't. Is is okay for me continue?
He turns away from LUMINAL to look at JACK SUMMERS
DETECTIVE KANE (CONT'D)
Where's the car park?
JACK SUMMERS
I don't know, I've never been.
DETECTIVE KANE
Then how could you describe it in such detail?.. Tell me that?
JACK looks distracted as he gazes past KANE and LUMINAL.
DETECTIVE KANE (CONT'D)
Jack, focus. Where was it?
JACK remains deep in thought.
DETECTIVE KANE (CONT'D)
Jack!
(KANE slams his fist on the table)
JACK SUMMERS
I didn't like the wet, bloody textile place. It kept pouring in through the holes
(Whisper)
DETECTIVE KANE
What did you say?
JACK SUMMERS
What?
KANE jumps to his feet knocking his chair onto the floor.
LUMINAL follows suit and guardedly watches KANE'S movements
DETECTIVE KANE
Don't play games with me. I don't' have the patience for it, or the inclination.
He moves round the table and stands next to JACK
DETECTIVE KANE (CONT'D)
Tell me what you said you bastard.
DOCTOR LUMINAL
Kane!
Detective KANE stares menacingly at LUMINAL.
JACK SUMMERS
The Textile place was wet.
