INT. HALLWAY - DREAM MARK (14), stands at foot of stairs looking around. Shines torch around revealing nothing out of the ordinary. lightning flashes as we hear footsteps. He listens to the sounds of approaching footsteps, his torch still revealing nothing. Mark POV - looks towards main door, hears voices, voices and sees lights/shadows coming from outside. He walks over and opens the door I/E. FRONT DOOR - DREAM Mark POV - looks from doorway, lightning flashes from the purple sky revealing an old pathway leading to a track lined with trees. An old carriage stands in distance. The outline of a figure is also seen. Rain falls from the purple darkness. Mark walks out into the heavy rain looking for the source. He stands drenched near the track. He sees a child watching him, a smile on his face as they make contact, the boy turns and looks to his right. Mark hears the thunderous sound of rolling thunder, A commotion is heard in the mist and then another sound like horses hooves on rocky ground, galloping He realises then that the thunder is a carriage. He looks harder at the shadows in the mist and sees the outline of a horse pulled carriage emerge at speed, it gallops right towards him… CUT TO: END DREAM STATE INT. EARLY MORNING - HALLOWEEN - BEDROOM We see shot of Marks bedroom, a sci-fi horror cover and wall pics. Some items resembling Halloween are scattered around the room. Mark suddenly wakes up. Shooting out of his bed with a silent scream and fear on his face. INT. LIAM’S BEDROOM We now see a shot of Liam’s bedroom with a more astronomy and sci-fi look, bright room, sunny, some items resembling Halloween. LIAM (14) Blond, is awake lying in bed when he hears a scream. He walks to his brothers room.

2.

INT. MARKS ROOM - BRIGHT Liam walks in and shuts door, looks at brother who just sits in bed. Mark looks up at Liam. Fear on Mark’s face. Liam walks closer, and sits on a chair near desk. LIAM Nightmares? MARK Yea, this time it was worse. LIAM That’s what you said last time, seems to me it’s been getting worse since it started. MARK Started after ever since Zack disappeared in that house. LIAM what happened this time? MARK (Nervously) I saw the horse and carriage, it came towards me. LIAM weird, wonder what that has to do with the house? MARK Remember the ghost story, its how it all started. LIAM oh yea. (hesitates) You still not worked out what it means? MARK No, Oliver’s been looking into it. LIAM I think we need to go to the house. MARK (looks nervously) But Zack’s friends said that horrible things happened; they only just got out themselves.

3.

LIAM maybe that’s a reason. MARK You serious. LIAM Look, we have a few days off school, why not use that time to check it out, unless you have other plans. MARK Regrettably no. LIAM Well then, lets do it. MARK If the others in yea. LIAM Well we meeting them in an hour on the tri- so we better get ready. MARK OK. FADE OUT. EXT. OUTSIDE HOUSE - MOMENTS LATER FADE IN: The two boys walk towards the Triangle.

EXT. THE TRIANGLE - - CONTINUOUS OLIVER (14) with his long thick black hair stands under a Tree with MAT a small 13 year old with brown hair, sitting on a bench. They see the others coming and walk to greet them.

4. MAT Hi guys.

OLIVER Hi guys

OLIVER You look dreadful? LIAM He had one of his nightmares again, (pause) LIAM (CONT’D) It was worse than the last one. OLIVER what happened this time? MARK This time I saw a boy, he was smiling. I was also outside the house, suddenly a horse and carriage came from nowhere towards me, it got close and……. Then I woke up. OLIVER (thinking out loud) That’s Interesting. MARK (sarcastically) Glad you think so. MAT So what’s the plan for today? MARK Well I thought we try the Cemetery. LIAM (looks at mark, shakes head) Actually we decided, we check out the House, actually go inside this time. MARK (looking at Liam strangely giving a sharp looks) After these nightmares I’m not sure. LIAM you’ve always wounded what (MORE) happened to Zack, you said yourself that you’d like to go in.

5.

LIAM(CONT'D) There was a lot the others didn’t explore, and maybe these dreams you having are a sign that we need to go. MAT There's also that locked door that no one has been able to open. MARK I’m not sure, ever since that day when Zack went missing I’ve passed the house; I’ve a sense of something evil. LIAM then maybe this is what we need to do, find out what happened to Zack and the truth. OLIVER I've done some looking into this, it is interesting and your dreams do go with what happened in that house. MARK maybe it will answer, but these dreams are killing me, like someone is calling me. (Oliver looks at liam) LIAM maybe its Zack. OLIVER then it’s the house we shall go, be there at 8:00pm. FADE OUT. FADE IN: EXT. EVENING 8:00PM - OUTSIDE HILL HOUSE - - HOUSE (TO BE ADDED) CUT TO: INT. INSIDE HOUSE FOYER - DULL - CONTINUOUS All five enter the hallway, the door closing behind them, they stop and look around the large foyer, cobwebs and dust cover everything almost undisturbed. They split and look around the foyer for any clues.

6.

LIAM So what is the story about this house? OLIVER According to legend almost over a century ago, a man named Hugh Crane had this house built on this hill, strangely he called it Hill House and moved in with his wife, although little is known of her, the legacy he left has been spoken of for many, many years. We see Mark looking at the Desk with photos. OLIVER (O.C.) (CONT’D) It is' believed that tragedy first struck when his wife was killed in a coaching accident outside the front door of the house. As he mentions it he spins torch to Mark, who returns the look. MARK Great, so I was seeing the death, of his wife. LIAM Looks like it, (pauses) What happened next? We see Mat looking around the staircase. A few weird ornaments at the side. OLIVER (O.C.) He re-married, but his second wife was killed when she fell down the stairs, or pushed as some have believed. MAT (shining torch on stairs) We better watch out for that They continue to look around the foyer and the stairs as Oliver finished the story as he looked at a large painting, OLIVER He got married again. He died before his wife yet she fell to the curse that had taken this house, she died at the hands of a knife man inside the house,

7.

LIAM (interrupting) Well that's not too bad, at least its not by a ghost. MARK Typical of curses though. OLIVER Sorry to put the spooky breaks on but....., MARK (inturrupts) Great a but. OLIVER Like I was saying, when the police arrived all the doors where locked and there was no force entry in or out of the house, no one was charged as there was no evidence. MARK (O.C.) Thanks. OLIVER Some believe it was the spirit of Crane. Since then the locals have lived in fear of the house, which was renamed, Hawthorne House. MARK Ok, so he murdered all 3 wives, or something in this house did? MAT But what about the other deaths and spirits? As Oliver continued they all met at the bottom of the stairs. OLIVER From then A number of others have brought the house only to be caught to the houses evil curse; (pause) There was one family that moved in, they reported strange goings on, footsteps, smells, cries and others. A few months later hell broke loose, its reported that the father (MORE) went crazy and slaughtered the whole family – 2 kids 2 adults and there dogs, he killed himself.

8.

OLIVER(CONT'D) However, that is just the police report, what really happened in this house we will never know. MARK Sounds familiar. MAT Amityville. MARK Yea that's it. MAT Proberly why they came to that conclusion. LIAM Let him finish, what next. OLIVER Thanks (hesitates) Since then strange things have happened, many have come in and tried to investigate these strange goings on. There are stories of a third child, found inside one of the locked rooms; he was not a member of the family, no identity. They say there may be more bodies in there but they have no proof or reason for a warrant. The child was supposed to possess anyone who came in. Many have stayed here only to disappear or flee in fear. LIAM Zack and his friends where the last ones to enter, according to his friends they were separated. Things where flying around, hands pushed them on the stairs, smells and screams. When they left and realised Zack had not returned home they called help, but no one found anything, Zack disappeared and as you know nothing was ever found. OLIVER Exactly. They all stand in silence for a while, the house silently waited in return.

9.

LIAM Well if there’s anything to the story, it’s waiting for us to make the first move. Mat looks ahead facing the Library door and shines his torch as though gaining there attention. He slightly moves forward. MAT (puzzled look) that’s weird. All turn facing Mat MARK What. MAT (pointing to door) look, there’s a light coming from the library. They walked towards the door. Oliver reaches for the handle and slowly opens it. INT. - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS Oliver walks in cautiously and the others followed. They scan the room. A dim light just bright enough to highlight the room. A large table laid with photos. Cabinets with ornaments and books lined the walls. Cobwebs and dust caked everything apart from the table, which seemed as though someone had just dusted it. They scattered and looked around the room. FX - FOOTSTEPS AND SCRATCHING SOUNDS IN BACKGROUND OLIVER What that smell? LIAM Fragrance, flowers or something. MAT Air freshener. LIAM Doubt it, they not have that back then. MAT Oh yea, well there no flowers here. (pauses) Anyone hearing that scratching?

10.

LIAM Yea, I think its coming from the table. INT. TABLE - CONTINUOUS Mat approached the table. He notices a piece of paper, he picks it up and glances at it, turning to others. Oliver stands near him. MAT (Handing paper to Oliver) Hay you guys, look. OLIVER (Reading aloud) There are many things happening here, yet Jake is waiting. MARK Now that’s spooky. (Stops dead, deep though fear on face) OLIVER Whats up? You look like you seen a ghost. MARK I’m not sure. It’s just like in my dream, yet I saw one of us writing this letter, also the rooms the same. OLIVER Who wrote the letter? MARK Liam, but it’s not his handwriting. MAT Let me look. (Looks, read then raises head to others) MAT (CONT’D) I think its Zack’s, his handwritings similar to Liam’s. LIAM That’s spooky. So Mark in your dream what else you remember? As they continued to talk they made there way to the door

11.

MAT let’s not dwell on the dreams, it may not be reliable. Lets go look around and head for that locked room. MARK But shouldn’t we do what the dreams says? INT. DOOR CLOSED - CONTINUOUS LIAM, No, Mat’s right it may mislead us. MARK Then why the locked room? OLIVER because that’s active, I think what ever happened here has something to do with that room.

INT. DOOR (OPEN) - CONTINUOUS LIAM OK, Lets split up, we all meet outside the room. That way at least one of us should get there, I have a funny feeling they know we here and playing with us. OLIVER OK, we will go upstairs, you two look around downstairs.

INT. FOYER AT FOOT OF STAIRS - CONTINUOUS MAT, OLIVER STARTED UPSTAIRS. LIAM AND MARK HEAD FOR THE KITCHEN FADE TO BLACK. INT. FOYER SOUTH SIDE - CONTINUOUS FADE IN: INT. - IN FRONT OF DOOR

12.

THE BOYS APPROACH KITCHEN. THEY STOP AS THEY HEAR SCRAMBLING BEHIND THE DOOR, SOUNDS OF FOOTSTEPS AND CRASHING. lights start to flash on and off. A Thumping sound echoes around them. MARK Sounds like something got in. LIAM Yea, proberly some animal. Lets check it out. MARK Ok, you first. LIAM (looks at mark) Right. They open door and cautiously enter INT. KITCHEN - CONTINUOUS AN OLD FASHION KITCHEN WITH SOME MODERN UTILITIES. AS THEY OPEN IT THEY ARE MET WITH POLTERGEIST ACTIVITY MARK Ok, I think there here. LIAM you think, (pauses and ducks) watch your head. OBJECTS ARE BEING THROWN AROUND THE KITCHEN, FEW NEARLY MISSES THE BOYS. A FEW SECOND IN THE ACTIVITY STOPS. THE BEGIN TO LOOK AROUND IN THE DIM LIGHT INT. KITCHEN - NEAR BACK DOOR - LIGHT Liam looks around the back door LIAM I not see any animals or any sign of break in. MARK (O.C.) Neither do I, looks like what ever it was, was outside. LIAM Na it was inside and it sounded like an animal or person scraping.

13.

MARK (O.C.) (interrupting) Any sign of break in? LIAM (first mumbles then loud) Thats weird, (hesitates) The recess on the Yale lock has been torn off, but the pad locks OK. Mark joins him MARK What does that mean? LIAM It means that the noise wasn’t something breaking in, as the padlock would have given way. So someone - or something - was trying to break out, in the process had caused the damage. MARK Wow, come something you should see. LIAM (follows marks) What? INT. KITCHEN - NEAR BASEMENT MARK Found these handles, there all over the floor. LIAM Strange. Both look at each other with a scary look. They continued to look around LIAM (CONT’D) Is it me or is there a chill in the air? MARK Cold spots, I read about those. Just wish get rid of that smell of rotten food. LIAM Did you open the cellar door?

14.

MARK No, not sure if it was shut or open. LIAM I thought it was shut earlier/ INT. KITCHEN - BASEMENT ENTRANCE - CONTINUOUS Liam approaches the door and opens it further, he stands as if trying to remember something LIAM You remember if Oliver said anything about the basement? MARK No, but I get a feeling I not want to know. There was a sudden gust of wind from the cellar, an agonizing scream and a growl, it lasted 5 seconds and was defining. Mark was pushed to ground, he got up and after he gained his bearings and looked around. LIAM Mark, can I ask you something? MARK Yea he saw Liam confused, as Liam stood at the entrance Mark noticed something odd, there was loneliness about him and he looked sad” LIAM Would you miss me if I was gone Mark looked at him confused and taken a back by the Question MARK Why you asked that (pause) yea I would, you’re my twin brother, and it would be like a piece of me is missing Liam looked up and a slight grin, LIAM So if I was trapped and injured you’d help me, or at least come back to help me no matter what MARK Yes, ill do anything

15.

LIAM even if it meant leaving me alone to get help, you’d come back RIGHT MARK yes (pause) You scaring me, why you asking these Questions Suddenly a light flashed and the wind came again knocking them off there feet, it lasted a second, they all got up and regained there bearings again, Liam looked at Mark. He moved away and headed out. LIAM Come let’s keep looking, we might find some answers in the other rooms. Mark shone the torch into the basement and looked back at Liam MARK But what about the basement, shouldn’t we check out what that was? LIAM No, well check that with the others on way back, I think it be wasted at moment. Mark looked at him curious, and slowly followed Liam. FADE OUT. INT. UPSTAIRS - HALLWAY - SAME TIME FADE IN: INT. HALLWAY TOP OF STAIRS THEY REACHED THE TOP OF STAIRS, COBWEBS AND THICK DUST WAS EVERYWHERE. THE HALLWAYS WHERE DULL, 2 CORRIDORS, ONE TO LEFT ANOTHER TO RIGHT The look around at the pictures. MAT Where now? OLIVER Not sure, think both lead into one another anyway.

16.

Mat stops suddenly and shines tourch down corridoor as he hears a groaning MAT Did you hear that? OLIVER Hear what. MAT Sounded like a woman groaning. OLIVER Not hear anything. MAT Like A groan, it came from one of the rooms down that way. Another groan OLIVER Now that I did hear, its coming from that room, come. MAT (nervously) Ok. Oliver turns and shines tourch at mats face. OLIVER Come on, that's what we hear right, to seek. MAT Yea but, but we not know what to expect. OLIVER (small chuckle) Exactly. Come on. They carried on down the hallway shining there torch around at the Paintings and other objects INT. HALLWAY - NEAR BEDROOM DOOR OLIVER OK we here. MAT Something moving inside, see the shadows in the light.

17.

OLIVER I know, can hear the footsteps. (pauses) After you. (shines torch at Mat smiles) MAT Thanks. Mat reaches for handle and opens it They walk in cautiously CUT TO: INT. MASTER BEDROOM The large bed was near the window, two small cabinets stood either side. The large windows where shut, curtains half open and slightly shredded. A dust caked dresser stood at the far side. OLIVER Ok, no one here. MAT Someone was here. OLIVER True. MAT Recently as well. OLIVER Ok you look over there, ill look over here. MAT (O.C.) And what are we looking for exactly? OLIVER Anything of interest, not sure really, but you never know. MAT Ok. INT. WARDROBE MAT Wow, these cloths are years old, but recent that's all there is here. Well apart from papers and mags.

18.

OLIVER (O.C.) Check the papers and mags? MAT Ok He checks, most are recent or older, nothing of interest. OLIVER (O.C.) Anything interesting MAT Not really, mostly normal stuff OLIVER (O.S.) (nervous voice) Mat MAT What you found something OLIVER (O.C.) You could say that, you where right, some one is here Mark turns to see him staring at the dresser, MAT What you see OLIVER Come here slowly Room dims slightly as he moves towards Oliver INT. DRESSER MAT Its cold here OLIVER There's a reason, look, you see it Both look into the mirror MAT (whispers) Wow Through the mirror they see a woman, back to them on other side of bed. She walks slowly around the bed MAT (CONT’D) She was standing near me.

19.

OLIVER She in early 18th century clothing. Proberly one of cranes wives. MAT (low voice) She looks like a witch with that hat. OLIVER (whispers) She knows we here. The ghost looks at them, a fear on her face. MAT (whispers) Is She speaking. OLIVER (low voice) Shh, Try and listen. MAT Sure you want to? WOMAN SPIRIT (mimes shout) Get out, get out now. MAT (low voice) I think she telling us to get out. OLIVER (low voice) Who are you. WOMAN SPIRIT (tear in eye) Leave now. They stood as they watched her disappear; coldness came over as though it passed over them, Oliver looked around but saw nothing. OLIVER Think she gone. MAT The rooms warming up. A banging noise startled the boys, they face the door.

20.

OLIVER What was that?. MAT Sound like some one banging on a table with a hammer. OLIVER I hear footsteps. MAT Maybe the others. OLIVER No. MAT Um maybe the woman hasn't left after all. OLIVER She wants us to leave, come lets follow the noise. MAT (low voice) I knew you were going to say that. A loud banging noise came from outside the room and as though they where being ordered to leave. They made a quick exit, following the sounds. INT. HALLWAY OLIVER Which way now MAT This way FADE OUT. INT. DOWNSTAIRS HALLWAY - MOMENTS LATER They followed the corridor behind the steps to another room. As they approached the door they heard the sound of music. LIAM You hear that? MARK Yea, nice taste. (MORE) LIAM Yea, well its coming from that room.

21.

LIAM(CONT'D) (pause) Shall we? MARK After what happened in the kitchen, Im ready. INT. LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS THE LIVING ROOM WAS NOT AS BAD COMPARED TO THE OTHERS, A LIGHT WAS COMING FROM THE LAMPSHADE. IN THE CENTRE WAS 2 LARGE ARM CHAIRS; A LARGE FIREPLACE WITH A CABINET ON EITHER SIDE, When they enter they are met with and overwhelming smell LIAM Urgh, that horrible, what is it? MARK Cigarette smoke. LIAM That's not cigarettes. MARK Pipe, that's how they used to smoke it that time. There's other smells here. LIAM Perfume again. (pause) Where the music coming from. MARK From the player, looks old and broken. LIAM Goes with everything else. MARK Well who ever was here certainly likes classical music. LIAM True and it certainly smokes alot, disgusting. They looked round the room at the shelves of books, pictures, ornaments and old furniture. INT. LIVING ROOM - NEAR FIREPLACE MARK Wonder who it is that smokes?

22.

LIAM (O.C.) Its Crane MARK How you know LIAM (O.C.) Because he here Mark looked round and saw Liam looking at the chair. Just poking above the top you could make out the top of someone’s head, they could see the outline of a pipe, puffs of smoke came up and now and then, the chair creaked as the spirit fidgeted. It was then Liam started to move closer and around the chair. Mark walks closer to Liam MARK (nervously) What you doing? LIAM (low voice) Looking. MARK (whispers) Your crazy. It was then the chair moved and started to turn meeting Liam, he saw the faint image of Crane, looking at him, Liam looked onwards. LIAM (nervously) Are you Crane? Crane did a slight node and eyes closed and opened as in response. LIAM (CONT’D) Is Jake here? The spirit looked on, lowered the pipe and looked at him, he seemed to get closer and again acknowledged, and this time he added words. CRANE He knows what you come for. LIAM Where is he?

23.

CRANE (Crane lowered back) In the locked room, where else. His image faded a little MARK You know who we are? Again, he responded with a nod, CRANE (towards mark) Be carefull Galahad is also waiting?

24. LIAM

MARK

Who

Who

Crane looked at them puzzled. CRANE (CONT’D) (fading) They have teamed up, you are not safe, time to get out? LIAM Waite, who is Galahad and who is Jake really? Cranes spirit simmered for a while, his deathly eyes looked on into Liam as though checking him out. CRANE One is the demon, the other is the lost child. Jake has already taken his place, Galahad is waiting for his. Make the choice as only one of the three will leave here alive. The faint image rose up out of the chair. MARK Wait. You know a boy name Zack and what happened here? CRANE Yes, he is here as well. I know all that goes on here. and left in a mist. MARK Well that really helped. LIAM We know more than we did before. MARK Like what? LIAM The child found in that room, was the body that Jake had when alive. Jake is the name of a demon. MARK And Gallahad?

25.

LIAM The lost child, A ghost child trapped in the spirit world, playing with Jake. MARK What he mean only one will leave? LIAM (in thought) I’m not sure. Mark looked at him, he felt a strange feeling, Liam looked at his brother, both stood for a while LIAM (CONT’D) One is the child that will possess, only you may never know when, if it leaves the other will die. Liam broke his glanced and they looked round the now dark room, INT. LIVING ROOM - NEAR OPEN DOOR Liam started to make his way out, MARK Jake must have possesed Zack. LIAM Yea, and now he trapped here. MARK I think its happening again, what happend back then is happening now. LIAM There playing with us, hell let Gallahad play first then strike himself. Mark followed unsure as to what he should do next, his mind was already confused with past images, starving his knowledge. He knew they where in danger and what ever happened with Zack was already happening here. HE SAW A DARK SHADOW OF A BOY PASSING THE DOORWAY THAT LIAM HAD GONE THROUGH; HE HEARD LIAM SHOUT AND A CRASH. CUT TO:

26.

INT. HALLWAY - SIDE OF STEPS Mark followed the sounds and ran to Liam who was on the floor near broken ornaments from a toppled over side table. Mark placed a hand on his shoulder and felt coldness. MARK Liam, Liam, you ok? Liam looked up, at first dazed then he looked at Mark as though he was scanning him. LIAM I fine. MARK Come let’s go into this room and sit down a while. FADE OUT. INT. UPSTAIRS HALLWAY OLIVER AND MAT CONTINUED ALONG THE CORRIDOOR. Oliver felt hot, tired and needed a drink. MAT You not look so good, whats happening? OLIVER Im fine, just feeling hot and tired. MAT What can I do? OLIVER Water, I need water. MAT Come, there's a room here, we can rest. Mat helped him to stand and decided to push him through the door hoping that it would help As the door flung open they fell into a room INT. SPARE BEDROOM The room was caked in dust and cobwebs.

27.

OLIVER Thanks, next time just take me through the door, not like a battering ram? MAT Sorry, I thought if something was attached to you it would leave if made a quick move. OLIVER Fair enough, think it may have worked. Mat looked around as they sat on the bed, the room was medium size, with a double bed, a side cabinet and closet, there was a door near the corner and was slightly open and he could make out a sink. They approached the room MAT Come, I think that's a bathroom, see if you can cool down there. OLIVER Stop, What was that? MAT It was a cold breeze, maybe the windows open. OLIVER (looking curious at mat) Ok, lets just get water. INT. SPARE BEDROOM - BATHROOM Mat tried the taps, dirty water ran from the tap, after a while it became clear, they filled the basin with cold water and Oliver placed his hand in and washed his face to cool himself down. All of a sudden coldness came on to the back of his neck, OLIVER Is that you Mat? MAT (O.C.) Is what me. OLIVER Somethings standing behind me. MAT Its not me.

28.

Suddenly something pushed Oliver’s head under water, after a little struggle he managed to get his hands on either side of the sink and force his head up, but the force came down again. Then it went warm Oliver waited and stood in shock looking into the mirror at his water drenched face, he saw marks on forehead that looked like finger prints, a dark mist swept pass and he looked at Mat who stood unknown what to do. MAT (CONT’D) You ok? OLIVER I’m fine, where were you? MAT Here, but I was frozen, something was holding me down, it then flung me to the wall, I couldn’t help, honest. Oliver turned looked at the murky water, looked at the mirror and turned, he walked to Mat, placed a hand on shoulder OLIVER Its ok, at least we OK, come I think its time we checked the locked room. MAT Are you saw you want to? OLIVER Its been testing us, we alive so we must be ready. INT. SPARE BEDROOM They walked into the bed room where they found trail of tobacco along the floor and cigarettes where snapped in half and scattered around the floor. OLIVER Crane been here, though it wasn’t crane who did that. MAT He may have stopped who ever it was. OLIVER Maybe, but he has no reason to do so, I think It was Jake and something else that was in the bathroom.

29.

MAT Galahad. OLIVER No, there are two spirits here, Jake and another demon. MAT Where does Galahad come into this? OLIVER Not sure, but I know one thing. MAT What’s that? OLIVER Its waiting. INT. UPSTAIRS HALLWAY Mat thought as they left the room and headed for the locked room BACK TO: INT. DOWNSTAIRS - DINING ROOM LIAM AND MARK SAT IN THE ROOM, AFTER GAINING THERE BEARINGS THEY LOOKED AROUND. THE WALLS WHERE LINED WITH CABINETS, SHELVES AND CUPBOARDS, A SMALL TABLE STOOD NEAR THE WALL WITH A LARGE MIRROR. LIAM I’m Ok now, where are we? Mark started searching, then at the table. MARK Is it me or can you smell fresh food? LIAM I can smell it, hear noises as well? MARK Footsteps, Ill look round? LIAM Ok, Ill check here Looking around Mark was being drawn to the mirror, yet as he walked closer the room seemed to dim as though it was focusing on him and he was focusing on the mirror.

30.

The mirror was large enough so he saw his top half as well as the room. MIRROR VIEW/FX - WILL SEE REFLECTION OF ROOM, WHICH WILL SLOWLY MERGE WITH PAST VIEW OF ROOM. ALSO WILL SHOW GALLAHAD NOT LIAM MARK (whisper to himself) Wait a min., that's not liam. He noticed something odd in the background. He slowly turns to check where liam is realising he was in same place. He looks back, he double-checked again, but stops when he noticed the boy was looking at him, still facing the mirror he lowered his head slightly as to loose contact. Through Liam’s voice the boy spoke, LIAM What’s up? MARK Not sure. Not fully turning around, he stood ridged and looked harder into the mirror. LIAM What do you see? (pause) you want me to look? MARK Wait there. He closed his eyes, cleared his mind and opened them looking at the mirror and the background. MARK (CONT’D) (low voice) I think I’m looking into the past - FX MIRROR - VIEW PAST ROOM, LIAM/BOY SAME PLACE, THIRD FIGURE IN CORNER A tall figure appeared as his image melted into the changing image, he watched as history was played before him. MIRROR DISSOLVE TO: FLASHBACK OF ROOM

31.

INT. FLASHBACK OF ROOM DISSOLVE TO: INT. FLASHBACK - DINING ROOM TABLE Zack enters the room, slightly dazed and sat at the table, a few seconds later another boy entered the room and Zack looks up, he noticed it was Kyle coming towards him, both sat at table. ZACK Hi Kyle, where’s Steve, I thought he was with you. KYLE (hesitates) We got separated. looking around. KYLE (CONT’D) Where the others. there was a slight pause as Zack looked at him then the door. ZACK It was weird; we where coming down the stairs to this room, we felt something and it was like a quick flashback of me on the stairs with a man. We looked down to the bottom of the stairs, there was a body of a woman on the first step, she was dead, yet I noticed her from the picture in here. I looked at the man and our eyes made contact, he whispered a name and then he blew his pipe smoke into my face. When I got my bearings I was standing out side this room, I just entered and sat down, I realised the others where not with me. he looked up and noticed Kyle had moved towards a mirror, Kyle stood near the mirror, turned and looked at Zack, walking closer. KYLE What was name he whispered? ZACK (head lowered) We have to find the others, I think we in danger.

32.

KYLE (serious demanding) OK, but what was the name? Zack looking up he noticed Kyle’s eyes where fixed with seriousness. ZACK Why you looking in that way, it not matter anyway. HE GOT UP AND FOR SOME REASON HE WALKED TO THE MIRROR. INT. DINING ROOM - MIRROR - PAST ZACKS LOOKS THROUGH, A CONFUSED YET FEARED LOOK ON FACE, AS THOUGH HE REALIZES SOMETHING, HE PLACES HAND ON MIRROR. as he did he whispered the words Crane had whispered to him. - + FX - MIRROR REVERSE EFFECT - TRANSFER FROM PAST IMAGE TO MARK LOOKING AT MIRROR WITH HAND ON MIRROR IN SAME PLACE AS ZACK (MIRROR IMAGE) Hears Zacks whisper. ZACK He is Jake. INT. END OF FLASHBACK SEQ INT. DINING ROOM - MIRROR - PRESENT - CONTINUOUS When he removed it he saw Liam staring at him; he turned and faced Liam looking into his eyes. He saw Liam and knew it was Liam, but his already messed up conscious was telling him otherwise as though it was piecing all the clues together LIAM (sounding unsure) We should get going? He walked towards the door. INT. DINING ROOM NEAR DOOR MARK (unsure) Yea, maybe we should find the others. Walks towards Liam and stops, Liam stops shortly after sensing no movement, turns and looks at Mark

33.

LIAM You Ok? MARK (nervous) Yea I’m fine. (hesitates) I Think I’m starting to remember. Liam looked on as if what ever he had planed had failed or was working. Mark felt fear creep on, his conscious was wanting answered. Mark turned and looked at the mirror once again. MARK (CONT’D) The mirror, that's what happened to Zack, this room, something about this room. LIAM (slight seriousness) What about the room? MARK It was Jake, Jake took Zack when he was in here, it wasn't Kyle who came in, it was Jake. You said, you asked the same thing he wanted to know. LIAM/JAKE (looks a way then back) So, what was the name he whispered. MARK He had to know the name, its the only way to appear, if someone called his name.... (pauses) Zack did, but why. LIAM What. Walks to mirror. INT. DINING ROOM - MIRROR - PRESENT MARK The mirror, it was telling me the truth, first I wasn't ready, now I am. LIAM Ready for what?

MARK Why did you really want to come back here? LIAM/JAKE (serious, darker) The truth. He turned and saw Liam near the door as though blocking him Mark walked over to the table. INT. DINING ROOM TABLE Without realising, picked up the candlestick, FX - Quick glance to candle stick in dream state The same one as in his dreams; he looked at Liam who returned with an emptiness stare. LIAM/JAKE (Darker demanding) What was the name he whispered? It was then Mark turned and threw the stick crashing into the mirror and shattering it into small pieces. GALAHAD (O.C.) (echo) Noooo. MARK I will not say the name. INT. DINING ROOM - CONTINUOUS A GRAVEYARD HORROR LOOK LIGHTS FLASHED BEFORE HIS AS THE ROOM STILL FADED TO DARKNESS, CRIES AND WORDS ECHOED THROUGH THE ROOM, A MIST FILLED THE ROOM WITH SMELL OF ROTTEN FLESH, HE SAW A BOY STANDING BEFORE HIM, A SLIGHT DEMON FACE YET SOMETHING ELSE. GALAHAD Welcome, I wanted to help. MARK You took Zack, the same way you were about to take me, mentioning your name I would be under your control. GALAHAD No, It was Jake who came into the room, It was Jake who asked the name, But I took Zacks sole away from him.

35.

MARK But why did Zack say his name to the mirror. GALAHAD This is my hell, it was the only way to warn you, for I knew you come. Then I shall appear. MARK I not understand? GALAHAD (laughs) You never will, MARK Why you with Jake, you can leave this place? GALAHAD Why should I, its home, he protects me from those who seek. MARK We will get out, we will free Zack, Liam and others, destroy Jake. GALAHAD There's one problem. MARK Whats that GALAHAD You still have to get out alive, Cranes right, only one will leave. MARK We will all leave. GALAHAD Join us, as Jake has what he wants? Galahad disappeared into the mist and as he faded he saw Zack walking from the mirror with the Candle stick he held his arm towards Mark and whispers ZACK Find Liam fast for Jake is gaining his strength. MARK What about you?

36.

ZACK Its too late for me, I’m here to eternity, but you have a chance. MARK Waite what do you know of Galahad? ZACK An innocent child accused of evil, full of rage and peace, trust is not a word but a betrayal to him. No not be afraid of him, helpful he may be but never trust him. He turned and saw Jake, Mark followed his glance, another child with a demon face stood before them, yet an mist image. ZACK (CONT’D) He is not real, but you must challenge it. He took the stick and charged towards the door, through a mist of a figure, as he reached for the door he saw a flash of light then a hard wooden floor met him as he landed face down. INT. DINING ROOM - PRESENT He gained his bearings and looked around, all was normal, the candlestick sat in the centre of the table caked in cobwebs, he turned and saw the mirror fully intact. He walked towards it. INT. DINING ROOM - MIRROR - PRESENT He looked through, he saw the room, himself, and nothing else, he also felt a alone. MARK (whispers to himself) Jake took liam in the corridor, Galahad took his place, he knew what would happen. (pause) Gallahad, if you are innocent, prove it to me and take me to Liam? He felt a presence turning he saw a glimpse of a boy, yet it was neither Jake nor Liam yet it disappeared into the darkness. He walked out. INT. HALLWAY - FACING STAIRS - CONTINUOUS He saw the shadow go towards the upper floor; he also heard Zacks last whisper.

37.

ZACK (O.S.) No not be afraid of him, helpful he may be but never trust him He followed upstairs. FADE TO: UPSTAIRS HALLWAY INT. CORRIDOOR - DARK MAT AND OLIVER WALKED TOWARDS THE DOOR, THEY HESITATED AS HE REACHED FOR THE HANDLE. OLIVER THEN LOOKED DOWN, TURNED TO MAT SHINING HIS LIGHT. OLIVER This house has so much history and so many tragedies, it’s impossible to say what’s going on here. We wanted the truth, which I think is bigger than expected. MAT What you mean many things. OLIVER Crane for starters killed his first two wives. His third wife outlives him, he angry so his spirit returns to finish the job, you see when she died blood was everywhere, there was no force entry, if it was a robber, then he was already in the house and he never left. MAT Wow, so his wives spirits must be here, maybe that’s the one we saw in the mirror. OLIVER yea, I think. But then you have that family, who were mysteriously killed, not to mention the child in the locked room. MAT You said there may be bodies here, uncovered. (MORE) OLIVER That’s just speculation, another story.

38.

OLIVER(CONT'D) Not sure if it’s true, like I said many things have happened here, more than what reported. Something happened between Crane and the family, or before the house. MAT So who is Jake and Galahad? OLIVER I don’t know, all could find was the name Jake, a demon. Galahad was a real child, his mischief gets him into trouble, and one day he disappeared. Maybe the child they found in this room was Galahad. Both are evil both doing there own thing. MAT I starting to wonder why we came. OLIVER It’s the only way to stop Marks Nightmares; we need to find the truth. MAT At a price (pause) Wait, what if that’s not really Liam down there, what if it was Jake or Galahad making us come here. OLIVER As far as I know it’s them down there, but Jake can appear the image of any of us. MAT What happens if this is a trap? OLIVER I realised that, but Mark will go insane from the thoughts that are haunting him, we have to release them. MAT Now I am afraid. (MORE) OLIVER (laughs looks at mark serious)

39.

OLIVER(CONT'D) You should be, there’s a chance that I’m wrong and its Jake downstairs and Liam’s behind that door, I’m just hoping my plan will work. MAT What plan? OLIVER That all 3 cannot exist in the same time line, if its Jake downstairs then his soul will disappear when they meet, they will become one, Galahad’s spirit will also be released and Liam or Mark will be free from Jake. MAT What if we the ones possed? OLIVER (laughs shakes head) No, you would know by now. MAT Look, there’s a light on. They looked down and saw a bright light emitting from the cracks. OLIVER Lets go in. MAT We supposed to wait for the others. OLIVER I know but I think its already too late, we need to enter. As Oliver went to grasp the handle the door opened, a bright light met them, INT. LOCKED ROOM - CONTINUOUS As they entered they saw the outline of a boy. The room was candle lit. Old drawings where etched onto the walls, new drawing had been written, although most where people there were pictures of houses, monsters, they also noticed words written a number of times on the floor and walls. The room was circular with a pointed ceiling. A Table was in the middle, laid out like a kid’s picnic.

40.

The boy stood at the table with his back towards them, he was in the shadows so they could not see his face or anything, just a faded shadow. They shielded themself from an unknown bright light, a few seconds after they entered the door slammed shut behind them, the light dimmed. DEM0N You finally come? OLIVER Yes. DEM0N Where the others? OLIVER Somewhere. DEM0N You came to find the truth, just like the ones before you. OLIVER What did you do to Zack? DEM0N (echoed laughter) I not do anything, he was lost with the many that reside here, another time. OLIVER (whisper to mat) I think it’s a trap after all. (loud to demon) Mark has already worked out what’s happening, the more he does the more greater Liam will be able to resist. DEM0N Your plan will not work, you may have worked out what’s happening, but there something you have missed, by bringing Liam here you have completed the link. OLIVER (confused look) I not understand, you wont kill us?

41.

DEM0N laughs, Kill, I had no intention of killing anyone, I just want to find peace once again. To walk this earth once more as a child that I once was. MAT So does that mean you not Jake, your Galahad? DEM0N I am Galahad; I was the one who stopped Jake from Killing Zack. OLIVER (whispers) Now we are alone, hope they come soon. Mat looked at Oliver and then at the boy MAT If your Galahad then you can release us, you sent the dreams didn’t you? DEM0N (Reacts as though not know anything) It was Zack who sent those dreams OLIVER We will know the truth, stop you and free all those you have touched, he shall come and you will be released. DEM0N What you mean? The room became colder and another mist appeared to the side OLIVER You are Jake, Galahad protected Zack from you and that’s what he doing now with us (pause) OLIVER (CONT’D) Galahad knows the truth, for your question where here to save Liam and Mark.

42.

DEM0N (laughs) Really, you have it all worked out. MAT He good at doing that, so why not tell us who you really are? JAKE (laughs short) You right I am Jake, yet Galahad interrupted my plan, yet now I have Liam. MAT What you mean? JAKE Let me Show you, but remember, I WILL NEVER RETURN HIM He turned and walked into the light, they gasped as they saw his face. CAMERA BACKWARDS TILL REACH MARK A screamed echoed through the house INT. UPSTAIRS HALLWAY - TOP OF STAIRS - MOMENTS LATER At the top of the stairs Mark turned and entered the corridor, he heard a noise and a child voice. INT. CORRIDOOR - DARK He made his way towards the door. INT. LOCKED ROOM The door opened before him and the bright light met his. He saw the outline of a boy and then the light faded as the door slammed shut. As his eyes adjusted to the candle light and darkness, he saw Oliver and Mark standing in front of him. It was then a strike of fear and loneliness attacked him like a base ball bat in the stomach, he felt sick, he looked up at there faces. MARK What’s happening. He looks and realizes that there was shock on there face, but there was something else, something was missing. It was then he heard Liam’s voice at the same time coldness swept in. Oliver knelt down and placed an arm on his shoulder.

43.

OLIVER Where’s Liam? Although he already knew the answer. MARK I don’t know, I saw a shadow and we ended up in the dining room. (hesitates) The mirror. I saw Zack. MAT What, where is he? MARK Galahad protected him from Jake, only for a price, he trapped, dead. Galahad the one who been playing with us, Jake took Liam. MAT We know. Mark looked at him the Oliver. MARK What you mean. They stand up and turn sideways, with Mark looking between Oliver and Mat towards another figure, He sees Liam, though at this moment he just a dark figure. MARK (CONT’D) (nervously) Liam. Liam turns and looks at Mark. Walks into the light. Mark sees Liam Possed by Jake, his clothes are stained with blood from the wounds on his arms, legs and head. His blond hair minced with dry blood and black, his faced scared and cracked, his teeth shattered and pointed, he moves forward. ROOM VIEW - HOUSE SHAKES MAT What’s happening? OLIVER There coming. MAT Who? MARK The others.

44.

OLIVER Its getting cold. (pause) Can you small tabbaco? MARK Yea, Its Crane. OLIVER There here but not appearing. MARK Didn’t realise this was a spectators fight. OLIVER You need to make the move or we will loose him. (pause) OLIVER (CONT’D) Its now just us. MARK Oliver, it was Crane’s wife who was sending me those dreams, he lives here, he wants rid of the evil the shares this house. MAT I wouldn’t bet on that. MARK I seen Crane, I know now, he was afraid of them when he said there names, it was as though he was expecting us. MAT Ok, so what now? Looks into Jake’s eyes MARK (hesitates) Galahad, help us ROOM VIEW SHAKING, PICTURES FALL OF WALL, THE PLASTER STARTS TO CRUMBLE JAKE/LIAM Noooo. (growls) Jake lowers his head. A ball of light shines and electric sparks hit Jake, anther figure appears and both Galahad and Jake collided.

45.

A force sends him into the air and slams him to the floor. We see Liam rise from Jake’s body. Liam reached out. Another growl. Liams eyes are red and features change to Jake as Jake retains the body. JAKE Galahad may have given you a chance, but you will never free Liam, now he gone from here I can finally take what is mine. Mark suddenly realises the truth hitting him hard MARK (shouted) Noooo. Jake battles with his own conscious, conscious of Liam. Mark and Oliver see that they are fighting but feel helpless MARK (CONT’D) Oliver, what can we do? OLIVER I not know, I thought Galahad would help. A sinister laughter comes from side of the room; MAT That smell again. OLIVER What smell? MAT Tobbaco, Crane near me I feel him breathing. CRANE (whispers) He may be helpful but he is a demon himself, brother. Mat looked at Jake, that at Mark. MAT Tell him? MARK Tell him what. MAT How much Liam means to you, for he is brother of Galahad.

46.

Hearing this Jake responded JAKE Nooo, he may be my brother but he no longer part of me, he no longer. MARK But he knows my strength, he knows like you can not live without each other, that’s why you possessed Liam, he looks like your brother when you was alive, so in a way you begotten him, but you need him, just like I need Liam. (Pauses) We shall be together. Jakes mind began to split, he growls and shreds many words in anger, and there was another sound as Galahad states his mark ROOM VIEW SHAKING VIOLENTLY, EVERYTHING TOSSED AROUND, THIS CONTINUES THROUGH THE LAST FEW SCENES Mark looks through the chaos. Sees Liam lying on the floor. He goes over recognises him MARK (CONT’D) Liam, Liam you ok? LIAM Mark, Im ok. MARK Come lets get out. Helps him out MAT Lets go. (Slight Pauses) get out now? INT. DARK CORRIDOOR - DARK DEBRIS FALLING AND MOVES VIOLENTLY The others follow, Oliver turns to Mat as the room topples them over and debris fall Mat yells as debris crashed on him. Oliver helps and both catch up with others INT. UPSTAIRS HALLWAY - TOP OF STAIRS - CONTINUOUS

47.

DOORS OPENING AND SLAMMING SHUT, CHILD CRIES AND WOMAN SCREAMS HEARD. Liam gains his bearings and stands alone. MAT Come on, we got to keep moving. OLIVER Easy for you to say. INT. STAIRS - SHAKING They make there way downstairs. MAKING THERE WAY DOWNSTAIRS, SOMEONE YELLING AND VOICES FROM THE KITCHEN, FOOTSTEPS ALSO HEARD. MAT Look. Point at ghostly figure coming from the kitchen. MARK Move quick, now. LIAM Argh. INT. HALLWAY - FACING STAIRS Liam is pushed, he lands on the floor and debris fell on him, the others helped but where blown away by a force landing in all areas of the foyer, debris fall again. INT. FOYER HOUSE STILL, FULL VIEW OF MESS IN FOYER, DUST CLEARS, SHOT OF EACH PERSON As they gain conscious, bearings and look for each other through the clouds of dust and a blanket of debris, Mark gains his bearings and removes the derbies. He finds Mat and Oliver, but they can not see Liam. They see a shadow of a boy at the top of the staircase. He looks to his right as though hinting where Liam is. Oliver goes over and removes the debris, Mat helps. They find Liam crouched, coughing from the dust. They pull him out and stand in centre of foyer LIAM Look. (pointing to kitchen)

48.

They saw the boy had reappeared at the top of the basement, as though wanting them to follow he went into the darkness of the cellar. The others looked on then at each other MAT I think he wants us to follow. MARK Helpful he may be, but never trust him. OLIVER What? MARK That’s what Zack said. LIAM Lets go. MAT What about the basement. LIAM Thats for another time. OLIVER Ill go with that. They leave hawthorn house. A childs cry is heard... CREDITS END
