INT – BOSTON ROYAL COURT – DAY
Thalia is stood nervously in the lobby with Dawn, both girls have made their biggest attempt to look “sophisticated”
THALIA
You scared?
DAWN
Very
THALIA
I’m shaking like a maraca on Spanish pride day
DAWN
That’s shaky
THALIA
Uh huh
(beat)
Okay I need to focus on stuff different
DAWN
Okay, um, cheese – cheese is yellow
THALIA
Dawn!
DAWN
What?
THALIA
Okay, um, Connor – did you talk to him yet?
DAWN
Tee!
THALIA
Sorry but you being in a bad mood makes my mood look less bad or something
DAWN
We spoke.
THALIA
And?
DAWN
Nothing
THALIA
You were mute?
DAWN
No, there’s nothing – it’s strange we were like best friends straight away
THALIA
Oh you’re like Ross and Rachel?
DAWN
How?
THALIA
You …loved him and everything about him and liked to get naked with him but you weren’t in love with him he was just a deeper version of a sex friend but you were both convinced that you were in love because of all the trouble that came out of your relationship and you felt a need to compensate
DAWN
How long have you been waiting to say that?
THALIA
About 10 weeks
DAWN
Tee, take a breath your head’s gonna implode
Both of them lose their nerves as their attention flicks over to the bathroom door where Maria comes out twisting her skirt back to the front and smoothing her hair over
MARIA
Thalia…Dawn…when did you get here?
THALIA
Apparently while you were busy falling down onto something…
Wesley walks out of the bathroom tucking his shirt in
DAWN
Or someone’s something
MARIA
We were just uh…we were…um…
WESLEY
Checking out the plumbing
MARIA
Right
THALIA
It’s okay Maria – we know it’s been a while since you had your “plumbing” checked out
MARIA
Shut up
CUT TO.
EXT – IVY’S HOUSE – DAY
Connor is sat on the street opposite staring at the place that turned his life around. He stares with confusion, yet still has a certain need and want in his eyes – that is of course until Ivy (the plant, not the person) starts growing at a rapid pace around the windows and door and walls.
CUT TO.
INT – COURT ROOM – DAY
Dawn stands nervously in the witness dock as Maria and Thalia hold hands from the sidelines. Wesley is talking to Ryan one last time as the judge enters.
CUT TO.
EXT – IVYS HOUSE – DAY
Connor walks around to the back garden, climbing over the wall. He steps through the garden and stops at the place in which Ivy was killed.
CONNOR
Nothing
He looks to the floor where there’s no blood, no marks, no nothing.
Stepping up to the back door as the Ivy continues to grow he spots through the window that everything is back to normal. Nothing is broken or misplaced.
CUT TO.
EXT – BOSTON ROYAL COURT – DAY
Faith is running up the steps as Andrew pays the cab driver
FAITH
This year slug boy
ANDREW
Faith…
FAITH
Come on!
ANDREW
Faith!
FAITH
What?
ANDREW
Demon!
Faith turns only to be smacked down by a demon almost instantly
ANDREW
Oh crap!
FAITH
Andrew – weapon!
The demon charges at Faith and lifts her above the ground hurling her into the stairs where she smashes her head and lays unconscious.
The demon turns and snarls at Andrew
ANDREW
Nice demon, go play in the road or something
Andrew is slowly backing away as the demon comes closer to him
CUT TO.
INT – IVY’S HOUSE – DAY
Connor is slowly creeping through the house, dagger at hand – he hears a light humming from up the stairs – the only place with no light.
CUT TO.
INT – BOSTON COURT – DAY
RYAN
(getting angry)
No, that’s not what happened damn it!
OPPOSITION
And would you say you lose your temper often?
CUT TO.
EXT – BOSTON COURT – DAY
Andrew is now running backwards, literally sprinting in reverse as the demon comes for him – of course being a demon it catches up with him. Andrew’s first instinct is to throw himself on the floor and play dead.
As he does, the demon doesn’t find the brain function to stop and he falls straight back into the road and under a truck.
FAITH
(coming round)
Andrew…
ANDREW
It’s okay
(panting)
He’s dead
FAITH
You killed him
ANDREW
N…yeah, I did
FAITH
Well, alright Andrew! Scooby snacks for you
ANDREW
Yay Andrew!
CUT TO.
INT – BOSTON COURT – DAY
JUDGE
Court adjourned we will regroup at fifteen and twenty
Wesley, Maria, Thalia and Dawn walk out to the lobby. All a pile of nerves.
Faith and Andrew rush in from the side
FAITH
What did we miss?
DAWN
It’s going to hell
FAITH
How so?
WESLEY
I don’t understand nothing’s going to plan – Ryan’s not saying any of the right thing he keeps losing his temper
THALIA
This isn’t like him, like at all
DAWN
I know it doesn’t make any sense – why is he saying those things?
CUT TO.
INT – IVYS HOUSE – DAY
Connor reaches the very top room of the house – it’s filled with darkness except for the light from a flickering television. There in the corner is Ivy.
She’s sat with a book in her hands laughing. Hundreds of wires leave the television. As Connor gets closer he sees the images on the camera are linked to the CCTV in the court room.
CONNOR
Ivy, it’s me.
IVY
I knew you’d come back for me
END OF PART THREE
INT – BOSTON COURT – DAY
Thalia, Faith, Andrew and Maria return to the sideline. Dawn is now up in the witness box ready to give her evidence as Ryan and Wesley look on anxiously.
DAWN
I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth
(pause)
So help me God
CUT TO.
INT – IVYS HOUSE – DAY
IVY
You love me truly and you’re here for me
CONNOR
I don’t love you Ivy. I don’t love. Nobody loves you and nobody ever has or ever will it’s painfully clear to me now.
IVY
You know nothing
CONNOR
I know enough. Ryan doesn’t deserve to go through years of prison for rejecting you. I don’t deserve to be in so much pain – which ever guy broke your heart however many life times ago, whoever drove you to this…to forcing people into a false love – they’re the ones who deserve the pain not us.
IVY
(laughing)
Nice speech
Ivy launches herself at Connor who immediately ducks she falls flat to the floor and scrambles from the room and into the bathroom followed by Connor the whole way.
She scrambles through the cabinet desperately seeking another love potion, knowing her natural spell will never work on him again. She scratches his face and attempts to force his mouth open.
He kicks her off across the room and jumps on top of her holding her own mouth open.
CONNOR
Nobody will love anyone that can’t love his or herself!
He pours the potion into Ivy’s throat and forces her to keep contact with mirror.
IVY
Don’t make me, please don’t ! I don’t deserve this…
CONNOR
You’re right and this potion – it’s only gonna help you half way. You’ll see something in yourself and if you don’t see it when the potion wears off then your screwed and not me or any spell can help you
Ivy stares into the mirror as her appearance slowly returns to it’s original state from long before she cursed herself with immortality.
CONNOR
Now stop what ever is going on in that room!
CUT TO.
INT – BOSTON COURT ROOM – DAY
JUDGE
Have the jury reached a verdict?
JURY HEADER
Yes your honour
JUDGE

CUT TO.
INT – IVY’S HOUSE – DAY
CONNOR
Hurry
IVY

CUT TO.
INT – IVY’S HOUSE – DAY
JUDGE

JURY HEADER

CUT TO.
INT – IVY’S HOUSE – DAY
