[previous | bottom] ACT THREE
FADE IN:
25 EXT. HILLS - MORNING 25
PAN DOWN to find Delaney, eyes closed, sitting cross-legged
on the ground. The view all around is breathtaking - mountain
ranges, the ocean, glints hinting at civilisation far away.
KIRA (O.S.)
Now... just keep controlling your
breathing.
Kira steps into frame, carefully pacing around Delaney.
KIRA (cont'd)
Reach out and feel the energy
humming through every living thing
around you.
DELANEY
Thanks, Yoda.
KIRA
Delaney, try and take this
seriously. We wouldn't want to have
made poor Greg come all this way
for nothing, would we?
She glances to her side - where Greg, looking like he's run a
marathon or two, GULPS down a bottle of water.
GREG
(weary)
Next time... we find somewhere
nearer!
Kira smirks, then turns back to Delaney.
KIRA
With every breath in, gather and
store a little sliver of that
energy. And with every breath out,
let that power flow through your
body, from your head, heart and gut
outwards.
Delaney breathes in, then exhales. Kira waits while she
performs a few more breaths, then crouches before her.
KIRA (cont'd)
Now let's try it again.
Delaney opens her eyes, suddenly pensive. Kira extends her
hand, palm flat and facing upwards. After hesitating, Delaney
does the same.
There's a quick flicker of light, then a small FLAME bursts
to life from Kira's hand.
Delaney stares at her palm, narrowing her eyes, focusing all
her will onto it...
... then withdraws her hand with an angry GRUNT. Kira bows
her head and exhales.
DELANEY
Nothing! Again! Can we just give up
on this already?
KIRA
You don't get to 'give up' on a
level of magical aptitude like
yours, Delaney. It's not an old
pair of boots you can just throw
out when they go out of fashion.
GREG
We've been trying this for an hour
now. We should probably head back,
get some breakfast. Delaney and I
can maybe try again later, after -
DELANEY
Don't bother.
(rising)
My magic's gone. Kaput. Finito. End
of. Whatever happened when I
cancelled out that bitch Jendayi's
Hand of Doom, it did for my magic
too.
KIRA
For all we know, it's just
something psychological blocking
your body's attempts to -
DELANEY
No! Don't you get it? It's been
nine months, mom! It's over!
She turns on her heel and stomps back down the slope.
DELANEY (cont'd)
(calls back)
You're better off focusing your
attention on Greg now. He's the one
worth the effort.
Kira looks to Greg, who just shakes his head.
GREG
I'll speak to her later.
Kira nods, letting Greg follow Delaney. Once he's gone, Kira
runs a hand through her hair, allowing herself a moment to
compose her emotions before we CUT TO:
26 INT. HUANG'S CABIN - FRONT ROOM - MORNING 26
Dade stirs, waking up and sitting up from the mattress. A
blanket has been thrown over him.
He STRETCHES lazily, then picks up on the small of something
COOKING wafting towards him.
27 INT. HUANG'S CABIN - KITCHEN - NEXT 27
He steps into the kitchen to find Huang in surprisingly
domestic mode, using a variety of pots, pans and small
cooking fires to work on preparing some food.
DADE
You cook?
She turns, smiles, then returns to her cooking.
HUANG
When you spend as much time alone
as I do, you find plenty of time to
master new skills.
He cautiously approaches, watching her work - bowls of
unidentifiable ingredients are spread across the counter.
DADE
I don't know what the hell any of
this is...
He INHALES deeply, allowing himself a happy grin.
DADE (cont'd)
... but it smells good.
HUANG
I rarely have the opportunity to
cook for guests.
(wry)
Although it seems to be becoming
more commonplace these days.
DADE
Where are the others?
HUANG
Kira took Greg and Delaney out for
a walk.
Huang pours some sauce into one of the woks - it SIZZLES.
HUANG (cont'd)
Delaney still has much to do if she
is ever to restore her magical
abilities.
DADE
Yeah, but if anybody can get
Delaney back on course, then it's
Kira, right? I mean, you two were
part of one of the most powerful
covens in Europe for years. There
must be all kinds of cool stuff she
can do, right?
Huang's expression darkens, and she wisely focuses on
stirring some soup rather than answering as we DISSOLVE TO:
28 INT. APARTMENT - DAY 28
Back now with Evelyn, flicking through a magazine in her
spacious apartment. There's a KNOCK at the door, and she
heads over to answer it:
It's Hamish, that mischevious smirk still firmly in place.
Evelyn quirks a grin back at him.
EVELYN
Did you get what I need?
HAMISH
You know I did.
EVELYN
Where is it?
HAMISH
'It' is downstairs in the basement.
Everything's set up, ready for ye.
EVELYN
Thanks.
(pats his cheek)
You're a good boy, Hamish.
HAMISH
For you, I am.
With another smile, she exits the apartment with him, and we
CUT TO:
29 INT. APARTMENT BUILDING - BASEMENT - NEXT 29
Down where the generators HUM and air conditioning machinery
RATTLES. Evelyn and Hamish descend a staircase.
HAMISH
Nobody'll come down here while
you're working. I layered enough
enchantments and spells outside for
us to drill our way to China
without anybody hearin' us.
They reach the main floor, Evelyn pausing to examine his
handiwork - GLYPHS, RUNES and other magical symbols painted
across the walls.
EVELYN
Very good. I'm impressed.
HAMISH
(shrugs)
I had a good teacher.
She turns to face him, slinks in closer - then KISSES him.
It's hungry, lustful - and over in a moment.
Evelyn smoothly walks away, leaving the obviously smitten
Hamish reeling.
She steps past a row of cabinets and lockers - and hears the
faint sound of someone SOBBING.
A figure comes into view, huddled on the floor and half
hidden by shadows.
HAMISH (cont'd)
Her name's -
EVELYN
(sharp)
Don't. Don't tell me anything about
her. It's easier if I don't
humanise her in any way.
The figure looks up - it's a YOUNG WOMAN, roughly the same
age, build and appearance as Evelyn herself.
She's been roughed up already - her wrists and ankles are
bound, tape over her mouth. Her makeup is smeared down her
cheeks, her eyes wet with tears.
She SOBS again, trying to speak but her words are muffled.
Evelyn looks her up and down, studying her, while Hamish
hangs back, watching Evelyn closely.
EVELYN (cont'd)
(finally)
She's perfect. Let's begin.
Evelyn extends her hand without looking round - and the
woman's eyes bulge as Hamish places a huge KNIFE in it!
Evelyn takes the knife, gets a firm grip on it and approaches
the woman slowly, who SCREAMS through the tape and tries to
shuffle away.
EVELYN (cont'd)
(chanting)
Svibanj ovaj posuda uzeti moj
formalan...
The woman's backed up into a corner and can't get away, much
as she tries to struggle against her bonds.
Evelyn crouches over her, taking her bound hands and opening
them towards her. She takes the knife blade and CUTS across
the woman's palms.
EVELYN (cont'd)
Svibanj ovaj posuda uzeti moj
formalan...
She SCREAMS again, cowering as Evelyn releases her - and CUTS
across the palm of her own hand!
She then takes the woman's hands again, pressing her bloody
palm to the woman's.
EVELYN (cont'd)
Svibanj ovaj posuda uzeti moj
formalan...
Hamish's grin spreads as he watches the ritual, Evelyn bowing
her head and continuing to chant.
The woman suddenly tenses up, her body SPASMING as Evelyn
finally steps away. She passes the knife back to Hamish, who
carefully wraps it in a handkerchief.
The woman THRASHES and CONVULSES as best as her bonds allow,
her eyes rolling back into her head.
ON EVELYN as she watches, rapt - the sounds of the woman's
struggles still audible.
Finally, all noise stops. Evelyn glances back at Hamish - and
SMIRKS.
EVELYN (cont'd)
Time for phase two.
Hamish nods eagerly, dashing off screen as Evelyn looks back
to the corner where the woman lay:
And the woman's features have now shifted to make her look
identical to Evelyn! From that, we CUT TO:
30 INT. NIGHTCLUB - BOARD ROOM - NIGHT 30
Celeste sits alone in the darkened board room, going over a
slew of paperwork.
Muffled BEATS and BASS from the dance floor below filter up
to her as she works, until:
The board room doors FLY OPEN, and the battered, bloodied
Evelyn stumbles inside! Startled, Celeste half-rises.
CELESTE
Evelyn? What -
EVELYN
She's trying to kill me! Please...
please, you have to help me!
Celeste jumps out of her seat and hurries over as the
exhausted Evelyn COLLAPSES into her arms.
CELESTE
Who is? What's going on?
EVELYN
I don't know... I don't know!
Please, you have to get me out of
here, before she -
VOICE (O.S.)
Step away from the girl.
Celeste looks up - silhouetted in the doorway is another
YOUNG WOMAN, petite and baby-faced with close-cropped dark
hair. She points to Evelyn.
WOMAN
She's lying.
Evelyn WAILS, scrabbling at Celeste.
EVELYN
Please! Please... don't let her
kill me!
Celeste rises, staring down the newcomer with fury on her
eyes. She balls her fists - crackles of ENERGY spark.
CELESTE
Whoever you are, you made a grave
mistake barging in here and
thinking you could -
WOMAN
È pausa verso lotta fuoco con
fuoco. You will know.
Celeste pauses, surprised to hear this. The woman in the
doorway reaches behind her and reveals a FOLDER, which she
tosses onto the table near Celeste.
WOMAN (cont'd)
Take a look.
Celeste glances down at Evelyn - then steps away from her,
opening the file and flicking through it.
It's the intel Nina gave out about the planned coup, complete
with surveillance photos.
WOMAN (cont'd)
(off Evelyn)
She's a part of this.
CELESTE
She isn't in any of these -
Celeste double takes - there's EVELYN as part of Rebecca's
group, doctored seamlessly into the image.
EVELYN
What... what are you doing? Don't
listen to her! Help me!
Celeste looks from the woman down to Evelyn.
CELESTE
How could you...
EVELYN
(sobs)
No! No! This has nothing to do with
me, I swear! I'm not -
FZAK! A bolt of ENERGY burns through Evelyn's chest, and she
drops stone cold dead to the floor.
Celeste whirls to see the woman lowering a smoking hand as
she finally steps into the light.
WOMAN
My name is Kira Brogan. And I just
did you a favour.
Celeste's guard is still up as KIRA approaches.
KIRA
The only question now is...
Kira lifts up the photograph of Rebecca's group.
KIRA (cont'd)
... what shall we do about the
others?
From Celeste's dark expression, we DISSOLVE TO:
31 INT. NIGHTCLUB - CONFERENCE ROOM - NEXT 31
Celeste waits at the head of the round table as Rebecca and
the others file in. They take their seats, Huang noticing
Evelyn's absence.
HUANG
Where's Evey?
CELESTE
I'm afraid Evelyn won't be joining
us.
Celeste drops the selection of surveillance shots onto the
desk, then PUSHES them out so the others can all see.
CELESTE (cont'd)
Ever again.
Rebecca pales as she sees herself in the photos - Amelie,
Madeleine and Ana all tense up too.
REBECCA
What - how -
KIRA (O.S.)
Mizoguchi and Eto.
The others turn as Kira strides boldly into the board room.
KIRA (cont'd)
They've been keeping tabs on you
for months. They know all about
your little coup.
ANA
(splutters)
Celeste, we would never -
MADELEINE
It was all Becky! She said -
REBECCA
(hisses)
You traitorous little bitches!
CELESTE
Harry?
Huang turns. Celeste nods graciously.
CELESTE (cont'd)
I know you have nothing to do with
this. Please step away from the
table.
Huang shoots Kira a look, then she looks up at the clock on
the wall.
REBECCA
(off Kira)
And who the hell is this?
Kira smirks, heading for Evelyn's empty place at the table.
She places her hand on the glyph, and recites:
KIRA
Che il fuoco sia rivelato.
(beat)
Kira Brogan.
The BLACK MARKINGS of the Coven spread across Kira's skin.
The others react, horrified to see this. Kira grins, soaking
up the attention.
KIRA (cont'd)
I took out Pierce. By your rules,
that makes me one of you.
(beat)
È pausa verso lotta fuoco con
fuoco. The Coven di Fuoco, eternal
like the -
ZAP! Kira is BLASTED off her feet by an ENERGY BOLT courtesy
of Rebecca.
MADELEINE
Becky, no!
Celeste is quick to respond - she SNAPS her wrist, and
Rebecca is sent FLYING across the room!
She hits the wall hard, tumbling to the floor as Ana LEAPS
across the table towards Celeste:
But Huang gets in her way, the two women GRAPPLING as they
roll across and off the table!
CELESTE
Stand now, all of you!
MADELEINE
Sorry, cherie...
Madeleine brings her hand up - and Celeste is SNARED by a
field of ELECTRICITY, snapping and crackling all over her
body as it lifts her off the ground!
MADELEINE (cont'd)
... but you don't give the orders
round here any more.
Celeste grimaces, her body pulled taut by the energy.
Madeleine grins wickedly, clenching her fist to tighten the
energy:
Until Kira SMASHES a chair across her back! Madeleine folds,
and Celeste is released, dropping to the floor.
The doors swing open as Hamish appears, quickly taking in the
frantic scene with alarm.
HAMISH
What's -
KIRA
Hamish, no!
They lock gazes. Hamish starts to answer:
KIRA (cont'd)
Run!
He doesn't need telling twice - he turns and bolts from the
room, just as Rebecca TACKLES Kira to the ground.
REBECCA
(raging)
How dare you get in my way, you
tramp! I'll show you who you're
screwing with!
Rebecca's fists FLARE with yellow energy as she rains down
PUNCHES on Kira, who struggles to fight back.
Ana has Huang by the throat, lifting her clean off the floor
as Huang CHOKES, clawing at Ana's iron grip.
ANA
The demon-bound strength of the
Slayer is mine to command... what
makes you think you can take me
out?
Amelie suddenly raises her hand, an AMULET in her palm!
HUANG
No! Don't -
Amelie SMASHES the amulet onto the table with a SHOUT - and a
wave of GREEN ENERGY blasts out across the room!
The woman are bowled over, CRASHING to the floor as the
energy washes over them.
Celeste is the first to recover, clawing her way back to her
feet as Rebecca follows suit.
REBECCA
(snarling)
I've waited a long time for this,
Celeste...
She reaches back and SNAPS her hand forward - but nothing
happened. She stares, dumbfounded, at her hand.
REBECCA (cont'd)
What...
Celeste smirks, bringing up her own hand - but that fails to
produce any result either! Celeste's face falls.
AMELIE
But... that amulet, it was only
meant to affect -
HUANG
I switched it...
Huang GROANS, using her chair to pull herself up.
HUANG (cont'd)
I set it to knock out all our
magics, not just Celeste's.
CELESTE
Harry - why?
CRASH! The doors BURST OPEN as a crowd of people spill into
the room - ARMED SOLDIERS, POLICE and several men and women
in unmistakably stuffy clothing. WATCHERS.
Nina is among them, stepping boldly forward with a GUN
pointed straight at Celeste.
NINA
Hello, Celeste. I'm sure you know
exactly who I am.
(beat)
You're all under arrest.
And as the Coven exchange horrified looks, we:
BLACK OUT:
END OF ACT THREE
ACT FOUR
FADE IN:
32 INT. NIGHTCLUB - CONFERENCE ROOM - NEXT 32
The Council agents, police and troops fan out, keeping the
women covered.
CELESTE
(to Huang; stunned)
You knew...
Huang says nothing as the women are grabbed, restrained and
cuffed in rapid order.
CELESTE (cont'd)
You're a part of this too...
REBECCA
She's nothing to do with me! Jumped
up slut thought she was better than
any of us - I wasn't about to let
her get a piece of -
NINA
Oh, Rebecca...
Nina comes to stand before Rebecca. The satisfaction drips
from her features.
NINA (cont'd)
You just don't know when to shut
up, do you?
Nina approaches the men holding Huang.
NINA (cont'd)
Let her go.
They exchange a glance, then release her. Huang rubs her
wrists, keeping her head down.
HUANG
(quiet)
Thank you.
NINA
Just because you're not under
arrest doesn't mean you're free to
go just yet, but...
(sighs)
We found Evey's body. I'm sorry.
Huang shoots Kira a filthy look.
HUANG
She hasn't gone far.
Kira tenses, staring right back at Huang - does she know?
NINA
(to agents)
Alright, let's get everybody
separated and properly restrained
before that amulet wears off, and
we -
There's a YELL from outside - and Hamish charges back in with
another AMULET in his hand!
HAMISH
(to Coven)
Close your eyes, girls!
He SLAMS the amulet against the table - and each member of
the Coven suddenly BLAZES with light!
Within seconds, the effects are clear - Ana TEARS the
handcuffs from her wrists and BACKHANDS a police officer with
enough force to send him flying across the room!
Madeleine turns and presses a hand to the chest of the agent
holding her - FLAMES burst out all over his body!
Celeste brings her hands together with a CLAP - and a
SHOCKWAVE of power bowls over Nina and several more agents!
Hamish hurries over to Kira in the confusion, helping her
back to her feet.
KIRA
I told you to go.
HAMISH
And I decided not to listen.
KIRA
(smirks)
Good boy.
HAMISH
That amulet'll only last a few
seconds - c'mon!
The duo scamper for the door, taking advantage of the chaos
erupting, but not before Amelie shouts after her:
AMELIE
Brogan!
(beat)
One day... I will own you.
Kira shoots Amelie a smug look right back before she and
Hamish slip away.
Rebecca finds herself alone in one corner of the room - so
she shuts her eyes, brings her hands together and VANISHES in
a haze of purple light.
Ana still has Huang held fast - Huang fading as the life is
choked out of her - until Ana is zapped by a TASER.
She turns to face her attacker - bodily HURLING Huang at them
to knock them down like skittles!
Presented with an opening, she rushes towards the room's FIRE
ESCAPE, barging it open with her shoulder and tearing off
down the corridor.
Several agents race after her as Nina goes to Huang's side.
Huang COUGHS, rubbing her throat.
Nina looks back up to see Madeleine and Amelie getting put
down and restrained, their brief burst of magic having faded
once more.
Celeste finds herself faced by half a dozen armed soldiers.
She raises her hands slowly.
Nina steps through the guards, looking Celeste up and down
with a smirk.
NINA
As I was saying... Celeste Rourke,
you're under arrest.
(to agents)
Bring her in.
Nina turns and starts to walk away as the agents move in to
cuff Celeste. She calls out:
CELESTE
Watch your back, Kagemura...
(as Nina turns)
... people like me tend to have
long memories.
Nina tries not to react, heading over to the Watchers as
Madeleine and Amelie are led away.
NINA
William?
The young WILLIAM GRIFFIN straightens.
GRIFFIN
They're willing to strike a deal.
They'll tell us whatever we need to
know about Celeste in exchange for
certain... liberties.
NINA
That's for your Council to decide.
We've done our part. Good work,
Will. You've got the makings of a
fine Watcher.
GRIFFIN
Thank you, ma'am.
NINA
What about the others?
GRIFFIN
Rodgers got away. Lightstep, we
think. We'll have people combing
the area for her.
He looks towards the fire escape Ana escaped through.
GRIFFIN (cont'd)
Same goes for Marquez.
NINA
What about that other woman? The
one who escaped with McFanchon?
GRIFFIN
(shakes head)
Not enough time to make a positive
identification. I'm afraid we've no
idea who she is.
HUANG (O.S.)
I can tell you...
They turn - Huang is standing nearby.
HUANG (cont'd)
... but I don't think you'd like to
hear it.
Nina frowns, puzzled. Huang glances towards Celeste as she's
led away, head high and defiant.
ON HUANG as she surveys the trashed room, the table now with
a CRACK running down the centre before we DISSOLVE TO:
