INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT
It's a little boy's room. Action figures. Superhero
wallpapers. A storybook collection.
A woman sits at the bedside. Her name is STELLA, her hair is
disheveled and rough look but she does have a lovely
demeanor.
She reads a bedtime story to her son, MARK, who rather scans
around the room, distracted.
A SUDDEN NOISE from outside...

and Mark jumps out of bed--

MARK
Daddy is back.
--dashes for the door.
STELLA
No honey... Come back, it's not
Daddy.
Stella scoops to her feet, but, Mark is already out the door.
She Stands still. Grunts. Definitely not going after him.
Mark returns to the room, looking disheartened. Stella
sighs...
STELLA (CONT'D)
I told you is not Daddy.
Mark walks up to her and wraps his hands around her.
STELLA (CONT'D)
(Looking down at his face)
Daddy will be coming home late
today... You should get in bed now.
It's past your bedtime.
Mark nods. Heads back to bed, but stops. Stares back at
her...
MARK
Mummy.
STELLA
Yes, honey.
MARK
Stay with me.
 2.

Stella nods.
STELLA
Of course... Mummy will stay with
you till you fall asleep.
Mark climbs into the bed. Stella moves to turn off the light
and back to lie in bed with him. Gently, she pats his back
till he falls asleep.
Then she kisses his cheek lightly. Gets off the bed and slips
out of the room.

INT. BASEMENT - NIGHT

Crude darkness except for a dim light sitting on a workbench,
alongside a Cross, Bottle, and an old Bible.
In the corner, a MAN sits tied to a chair, face covered with
a bag. He's dressed in business wear but actually, his pants
are chafed and muddy.
Footsteps approach him... It's a PRIEST.
Back at the workbench, A NUN looms over the table and chants
nervously...
NUN
ONLY GOD CAN SAVE US NOW.
The Nun picks up the Bible and the Cross and walks over to
the corner.
Hands shaking, the Priest leans in and takes off the bag from
the man's face, revealing his face: Young, probably in his
thirties. He stares up squarely at the Priest as if to bore
holes through him.
The Nun comes up and stands beside the priest. Hands him the
Cross and Bible.
