Final Script

 EXT-Bar

Panning shot of an irish countryside with the title crawl over top. In the far distance a tree with a person curled under it can be seen. It is foggy and the moon is out. The shot pans to a small pub in the middle of nowhere.

INT-Bar

In the corner of a dimly lit bar O’LEARY is sitting in a corner, sad. He is holding a note in his hands. 

The note says: “Your time has come O’Leary, We wait on the N7. Midnight or more will pay”.

O’leary puts the note down and finishes his drink.

Barkeep COLLINS approaches him.

Collins

Another Drink O’Leary?

O’leary

Not tonight Collins, It's going to be an early night for me.

Collins

Unusual for you lad, but it is what it is. Fair warning to you thought, You should be careful walking back home tonight. There's something off in the air. You feel it?

O’LEARY looks inquisitively at COLLINS.

Collins

Some say a night like tonight when the fog is thickest is cursed. A bad omen. A night like this is when death itself saunters.

O’LEARY gulps

O’Leary

You really know how to comfort your patrons Collins.

Collins

Aye, I’m just a paranoid barkeeper. Take care Lad.

O’leary replies with a nod. 

COLLINS exits, taking O’LEARYS Glass. 

O’LEARY sinks into his chair and goes into his pocket and pulls out a picture of a woman.

EXT-Graveyard

O’LEARY puts down the picture to look at his wife's grave.

‘Elise Morris O’Leary, 20 July 1913 - 30 October 1936’

His hat is on the other hand. He silently tears up.

• Throughout this scene THE VEILED FIGURE in cloak and dress will be present occasionally. Barely visible.

O’leary

I couldn’t take the rap for them, Elise. The situation has gone arseways. I'm on a one way road. C’mere to me before I go. Is there a chance? Is this the end?

Silence comes over the grave yard. Then in the distance a wail is heard. O’leary spins round and sees nothing in the dense fog. He gains his composure and has a look of acceptance on his face.

O’leary

I see

O’LEARY puts the picture in his pocket and his hat on his head. He leaves the graveyard.

Barely visible in the fog behind the grave THE VEILED FIGURE watches him leave.

EXT-Road

O’LEARY walks along the road, looking around. He is then flashed by car headlights. He stops dead in his tracks. He knows that he will not be taking another step, ever again.

 

Three men come out of the car.

-All of them are dressed like gangsters

-LOUISE has a Submachine gun and a holstered pistol

-ARCHIE has a Rifle

-REUBEN has a Revolver

Louis

Well ain't this swell, You’ve arrived a little late O’leary, We were worried that you were making tracks.

Archie

For a moment I thought we were going to pay a little “visit” to your friends, and that dryshite of a barkeeper!

Reuben stands in front of the men and the car. He turns to them.

Reuben

Shut it!

REUBEN Turns to O’LEARY.

Reuben

Now Toby. I apologize for this. You were family, To all of us. But look what you’ve made me do.

O’LEARY stays silent. REUBEN raises his pistol at O’LEARY.

Reuben

First your wonderful wife, now you. Such a shame that you both ended up like this.

O’LEARY prepares for death as REUBEN takes aim at his head.

Suddenly sounds of a woman crying are heard. THE VEILED FIGURE enters the scene. 

The men quickly lower/conceal their guns.

Reuben

Toby, who is this?

Louise

Hey Lady, Beat it, this is private business!

ARCHIE looks a little worried at this moment.

O’LEARY looks at the woman and freezes.

The woman stands in front of O’leary with her back to him. She is crying.

Reuben

Lady are you lost or something?

The woman does nothing, still crying. REUBEN walks up to her.

Reuben

Hey. Hey I'm talking to you!

REUBEN takes off her veil and jolts back in horror. LOUISE and ARCHIE are shocked.

Reuben

What In the Goddamn!

It is revealed that the woman mourning is TOM O’LEARY Wife, ELISE. Her face is white and very lifeless. She stops crying.

REUBEN in fear whips out his gun and prepares to fire. Then ELISE lets off a Banshee Scream.

Everyone staggers and covers their ears.

O’LEARY falls back on his ass.

When ELISE stops the banshee screams. A disorientated Reuben tries to aim again. ELISE turns into smoke and teleports behind REUBEN. She snaps his neck in an instant. O’LEARY glimpses the face of ELISE and is shocked.

ARCHIE is terrified and cannot bring himself to aim his rifle.

LOUIS manages to fire his gun into ELISE. ELISE doesn’t react to the bullets. She walks up to Louis who fires everything in his machine gun. After he finishes the clip he throws the machine gun to the ground and reaches for his pistol. Before he can aim at ELISE she knocks his arm away and grabs him by the neck. LOUIS is strangled to death.

ARCHIE is in panic, he drops his rifle and runs away into the fog. ELISE follows. A second later ARCHIE screams and is thrown back at the car. The impact kills him instantly.

Then silence.

O’LEARY is alone surrounded by the dead. He stands up and looks around again. Nothing. He picks up the photo from his pocket and looks at it again. A scared O’LEARY runs into the fog.

Fade to black.

The End
