EXT – FOREST – NIGHT
IVY
No!
RYAN
Ivy…
IVY
No, that wasn’t…it wasn’t…
Ivy just looks at the bodies and the accusing eyes as before running off and out of the forest
CONNOR
Ivy!
RYAN
I’ll go
Ryan nods to Ryan to draw the woman’s attention away, strangely he doesn’t need to as her eyes are fixed on the body
He flickers away into the air.
Connor keeps his arm around the woman as he attempts to edge her from the forest
CUT TO.
INT – GSPOT – NIGHT
Ryan flickers into the a toilet cubicle hoping to go un-noticed. However he walks straight out of the door and into Jones.
JONES
I thought you’d left
RYAN
Um yeah I came back
JONES
So I see. What’s up?
RYAN
I need to borrow…you’ll do
JONES
Way to encourage!
RYAN
Sorry, but seriously as someone non bias I need…
JONES
Uh oh
RYAN
What?
JONES
Non bias means the girls don’t know and if they find out I’m straight back dead
RYAN
I promise they won’t kill you. It’s Ivy
JONES
The crazy girl? They’ll kill you and me
RYAN
I’m not to keen on the idea myself but I promised Connor
JONES
Connor? Oh this is gonna go to hell and back three times over
RYAN
Strange you should say that
CUT TO.
EXT – BOSTON STREET – NIGHT
JONES
I hate you
RYAN
You’re weak minded, only because you’re new – once you get the hang of us, you’ll become sneaky and corrupt
JONES
Do I get a badge?
RYAN
A gold one
JONES
I can hardly wait
(pause)
Can’t you just buzz around and find her, you do that right?
RYAN
Well, yeah but, um, I kept ending up at her house
JONES
Her house like…where she probably is?
RYAN
I checked
JONES
So where’s Connor now?
RYAN
He’s still at the forest or he was last time I saw him
JONES
He’s known about this since the Trial?
RYAN
Apparently so
JONES
That doesn’t bug you?
RYAN
Supremely but…
MARIA (O.S)
Hey where are you heading?
JONES/RYAN
Home/Bar
MARIA
Home bar?
JONES
We’re…
RYAN
Ivy’s still alive we’re staying at your home so we can’t hide it. She’s human now and she was actually under a curse thought we do have a slight suspicious that she may have just killed a woman and her dog in the woods. So we’re about to do some research.
MARIA
(long pause)
Um….okay, that was…wow
RYAN
You in?
MARIA
Killing her?
RYAN
Finding her and stopping her.
MARIA
(suspicious)
Does Faith and the girls know about this?
RYAN
I won’t lie to you
(pause)
So are you in or out?
CUT TO.
INT – MARIA’S HOUSE – NIGHT
MARIA
I hate you
RYAN
Is there an echo or something? This is Connor’s project
(pause)
Which I seem to be leading but that’s not the point
MARIA
Okay, locator spell?
JONES
Research
MARIA
For what?
JONES
Ivy
MARIA
You think she’d be in books?
RYAN
Wait, how is research going to help us?
JONES
How’s it not? If we know more about her then we’ll know more about her killing style
RYAN
That’s gross
MARIA
He has a point – I mean, none of us have ever seen one of her victims. You said this woman was completely mauled to death?
RYAN
Insides on the outside and dog too
MARIA
Puppy?
RYAN
Not pretty. So what do we look for?
MARIA
Ivy?
JONES
I was thinking Myths & Legends
RYAN
How do you figure?
JONES
She’s a Siren
MARIA/RYAN
A what?
JONES
God do you guys ever read anything that’s not TV guide?
MARIA
Elle
JONES
Rhetorical. She’s a siren, women who “lure” men to the death
MARIA
Okay, I’m pretty sure Tara left the book here
(scanning shelf)
Here
CUT TO.
EXT – FOREST – NIGHT
Connor nods as police officers seal the area off and leave for the night.
From nowhere a light whistling appears.
CONNOR
Hello?
The whistling once again becomes a howling. Louder obviously due to Connor’s sensitive hearing.
The light begins to dash toward him but, with his supernatural skills – he dashes out of the way and comes face to face with the “light” before it vanishes.
Seconds later, Ivy appears.
IVY
Connor?
CONNOR
Ivy…when did you get here?
IVY
Just a minute ago
CONNOR
When that thing left?
IVY
What thing?
CONNOR
Just stay away from me okay? I’ve tried to help you and I can’t so stay away!
Connor runs from Ivy who is left looking shocked and sad as she rolls up her sleeve, her hand still covered in blood. A single deep cut goes vertically down her wrist.
She steps up to the edge of the bridge once again and looks into the water. Stepping up to the side as she begins to cry.
She looks out into the distance where Connor is still running away, to one side of him she spots the shadow of a dimmed light. Bravely facing her reflection she steps down from the bridge and heads out after the shape.
CUT TO.
INT – MARIA’S – NIGHT
Connor bursts through the door panting
CONNOR
It’s her, it’s Ivy
IVY (O.S)
It’s not me
MARIA
What are you doing here?
IVY
It’s a banshee. I wasn’t up there to kill people. I was there to kill my self but I’m not going to do that. I done wrong and I deserve everything I get, but that’s it, I deserve it. I don’t deserve help and I can’t escape it. I deserve to deal with it.
Silence.
JONES
Banshee?
IVY
A Legend, though written as a myth. Similar to mine I guess. Old lady sings a chorus from the mountains and literally turns the lives of the isolates inside out.
RYAN
She’s right
(beat)
She’s not guilty
IVY
Oh we’re all guilty, all of us at some time or another. Tonight more than ever
MARIA
Why?
IVY
The Banshee sleeps a hundred years unless woken, the activities tonight and…
JONES
Today, Faith and I went swimming
(angry)
God
IVY
Fine. You both woke her and now Connor and I have bought her here
MARIA
I didn’t do anything
IVY
You held us in you home. She can’t come in and so she’s gonna be looking for the next person to piss her off. Look, I’m not heading to be the heroine here but – I know where I’d go If I wanted to get some easily distracted and fresh meat.
CUT TO.
INT – GSPOT – NIGHT
Faith and Dawn have now stopped dancing, Andrew is talking to the wallpaper and Thalia looks bored.
DAWN
I’m exhausted
FAITH
I’m not surprised you dance like speed on speed
DAWN
I’ll take that as a compliment
FAITH
Take it how you like it
DAWN
I’ve never heard this song
All of them pay attention to a thumping dance track with a hissing whistle in the background.
FAITH
It’s too loud, the whistle drowns out the bass.
THALIA
That’s great can we…what the hell is she doing here?
All three girls stand up sharp as Ivy enters in a panic, they look even more confused when Connor, Ryan, Maria and Jones join her
DAWN
Isn’t she dead?
(beat)
Connor what is going on?
CONNOR
Ivy was a…it’s a thing we have to leave
DAWN
Not until you tell me what’s going on?
(beat)
Is she going to sing?
Dawn looks over at Ivy who’s taken the mic from the DJ and suspended it from the ceiling.
RYAN
Dawn will you just leave and do as he says!
THALIA
Don’t talk to her like that if she doesn’t want to leave then she’s not and GOD what is that whistling?
RYAN
Get out!
FAITH
Why?
MARIA
Because if you don’t let us do this really not easy plan then we’re all going to die and this is one thing, for once, that the three of you can’t handle so just leave.
JONES
Faith.
FAITH
I’m going.
Faith looks into Jones eyes and sees the desperation. She lifts Andrew and smashes her elbow into the fire alarm clearing everyone out.
DAWN
What about Ivy? What’s going on?
CONNOR
She says she knows what she’s doing
(beat)
I trust her
Dawn looks in complete shock before reluctantly leaving.
EXT – GSPOT – NIGHT
The crowds are clearing with the exception of the gang
FAITH
So what’s the deal?
JONES
The Banshee it killed a girl and her dog when we woke it up in the woods – it’s pissed and on it’s way here
FAITH
What?
JONES
It’s coming! You can get to Maria’s if you run…and when I say run I mean as if this were Jurassic Park.
All the girls pause one last time before Maria leads the off, the banshee slowly drifts around the corner in non corporeal (misty) form
JONES
Talk about throwing your voice
RYAN
You think she can do it?
CONNOR
We don’t know what “it” is…but she’ll do it. You ready?
Ryan nods as Jones and Connor grab hold of him, he flickers away before the banshee reaches him. Slowly the banshee drifts down to the bottom of the stairs to come face to face with Ivy. The Banshee takes solid form and grins menacingly.
END OF PART THREE
INT – GSPOT – NIGHT
Before the banshee can sing, Ivy leaps across the room and smacks her hands down on the button of DJ decks. Music blares out at a great level as she tears the cover off of the speaker and climbs inside.
The banshee begins to scream it’s song as it tears the cover from the speaker just a minute after Ivy entered.
She falls out, ears bleeding constantly. Eyes wide with pain. Dead.
The Banshee’s eyes begin to roll back into it’s head as the sound of it’s own voice played back to it, building pressure before it exploded on the spot.
MINUTES LATER…
Connor, Ryan, Jones, Maria, Thalia, Dawn and Faith approach Ivy with caution. She remains motionless as Connor approaches her.
Falling to her side.
RYAN
Connor?
CONNOR
She got it done
DAWN
She did this?
CONNOR
The Banshee could only be killed if nobody could hear it…
(looking at her bloodied ears)
If it could only sing to itself
(beat)
Because then it finally has to accept that it’s the same as it’s victims
DAWN
Alone.
The group takes a moment in silence, everyone, even the girls, looks deeply sad. Connor looks riddled with failure
CONNOR
I’m sorry
He plants a single kiss on her head before standing up
CONNOR
Sorry I couldn’t save you
FADE TO.
EXT – IVY’S HOUSE – DAY
Connor is stood in the garden, picking at the leaves of the Ivy on the wall
DAWN (O.S)
Hey
CONNOR
Hey
DAWN
Figures you’d be here
CONNOR
Predictable
DAWN
Not so much – Connor listen
CONNOR
I let her down Dawn
DAWN
What?
CONNOR
Under all her evil, all her lies – it was all because of the pain of being alone and I let her die. Alone.
DAWN
Connor, you didn’t do that. She chose to do that, in her eyes it was her redemption. I don’t know what went on with both of you but I know you felt that it was the right thing to do and you did
CONNOR
Did what?
DAWN
Save her
Connor looks at Dawn with a half smile, an understanding.
Dawn nods and begins to walk away
DAWN
And Connor…
(smiles)
You’re not alone
END.
