jumpsuit, a black choker with green flashing light

her blue eyes appear sunken and the red pupils seem to
have dulled. Her skin once, porcelain-white now jaundiced.

Inside a moonlit living room sits MR. RILEY SCHWARTZ(52),
on a ripped up brown leather couch. His face contorted in
anger. His gray hair nearly ripped out, blood drips down
his head from self-inflicted wounds on his scalp. Skin
hangs loosely from his skeleton, proving at one time he
was, in fact, a very large man. His pure black eyes fixed
on the door.

A deep demonic voice is heard.

again fully hidden by the shadows except for his eyes and
fanged teeth.

GLEN(34) A black centaur steps from behind his desk. The
night sky is visible from all angles of the room.
Glen fixes his glasses, and looks at Adam, with a puzzled
look on his face.
GLEN:
What do you mean sir?
ADAM:
What, what do I mean? Karlee came
in here to talk to you!
GLEN:
No, sir.
Adam looks around, as other centaurs and shaman’s in
various colored glows, loom closer toward him.
ADAM :
What! Would some on tell me what
the hell is going on-now!
Glen looks around, his black mane barely visible.
GLEN:
An ancient prophecy, the Blood

Adam, shocked, slows his speech down, the anger in his
voice dissipates.
ADAM:
So(BEAT),so you are telling me,
that all we have brought over are
going back?
His eyes widen, he stares straight at Glen.
Glen and all around him nod.
ADAM: (contd)
And, all the sudden truces,easy

Adam lets out a huge sigh and c***s as cheesy smile.
Glen’s eyes widen.
GLEN: (contd)
Why are you smiling when all we
have done to rehabilitate all, is
coming undone.
Adam quickly took a solemn face and blushed.
ADAM :
Because don’t you see, Karlee
hasn’t gone to the other side
willingly, neither have the
others!
Glen blinks and slowly smiles
GLEN:
We can get them back.
ADAM :
Yes! Now, the prisoners, they
think they got us, well I want a
total lock down-both magic and
non-magic. Also I want the Borns
and Mades separated, I don’t want
them to have any Mades joining
them.
Adam turns toward the door and starts running out.
ADAM(O.S):
(yells)
Work on it!
The door slams shut.
Glen looks up toward the ceiling. His eyes scan the
universe-like ceiling.
He looks down, and notices all eyes on him.
GLEN:
Well we heard him. Shas, give me
all you know about the feast, no
matter how obscure.
A brown robed figure,SHAS, bows it’s head, and walks off.

Inside a gray tomb-like room a blue light shines straight
down onto a single black table.
Baxter walks in.
As he walks in and sits down a flame appears in the
opposite chair.
MICKY,(29), a skinny lizard like demon appears out of the
flame. Being very timorous, Micky the jumps from the
chair, and runs over the corner. He crouches into the
fetal position.
Baxter walks over slowly and sits on the floor next to
Micky.
BAXTER:
Hey Micky, how you been man,

massive gathering and some of the
Heretic Priest are preparing the
revival for them.

Sorry...
The door opens a girl brings in a large plate and a bag of
baked chicken.
BAXTER: (contd)
...come sit and eat. So you mean
that the Heretic Priest haven’t
finished the prep work?
Baxter sits down, Micky sit on the opposite side and
starts eating.
Micky nods his head up and down, his mouth full of
chicken.
Baxter runs his hand above the table, a map materialize.
BAXTER: (contd)
Can you point to where they are?
Micky’s eye become wide, a piece of half-eaten chicken
falls from his mouth.
Baxter nods his head.
BAXTER: (contd)
Just blink if I am warm and
squeeze them if I am there, OK.
Micky slowly nods his head.
Baxter points at a high mountain region on the map, all
the while looking at Micky-no reaction.
He moves his hand toward a forestry area, Micky blinks.
Baxter slowly moves his finger left, until he reaches the
coasts.
Micky squeezes his eyes shut and swallows his chicken
loudly.

stop it and....
ADAM :
Find Karlee.
Baxter turns facing Adam, a grim expression on his face.
BAXTER:
You know we’ll have to take her
in, even if she was not under her
own control.

attack.
KARLEE ENTERS
30.
38 INT: DEEP INSIDE CAVE
Karlee walks out in a snake skin dress, slit on both
sides. Her blond hair softly covers her shoulders. Her
smoky, seductive eyes, scan the group, as if, looking for
prey.
ADAM :
Karlee!
Adam starts to run toward her, she raises her arms and the
flames rise higher.
A wavy image of her is seen.
In a seductive yet sarcastic tone she lowers the flames
and speaks.
KARLEE :
Ah, Adam, how have you been? You
will be pleased to know I did try
to stay good for weeks.
HERETIC PRIEST 1:
And she would have stayed good,
longer, if she hadn’t met up with
Berth. And, would have been able
to warn you, if she hadn’t went
to talk to Berth.

stop this, if it wasn’t for you.

Maybe so, but you can’t stop it.
ADAM :
We are here
HERETIC PRIEST 1:
But, this is only one.
One swat member is noticed in the left corner behind
Karlee and the Heretic Priest.
A hypnotic, gypsy-like music can be heard as Karlee slowly
walks toward him.
The swat member pretends to freeze and to be under her
spell.
Karlee inches toward him smiling.
KARLEE :
You want me to come to you.
SWAT MEMBER 1:
I want you to come to me.
She comes closer.
KARLEE :
You want me to touch you.
SWAT MEMBER 1:
I want you to touch me.
She reaches him and touches his face.
Swat Member 1 grabs her wrist, pretending to want to be
closer. He wraps his arm around her.

and closes her eyes.
He changes into a centaur. He wraps his arm tighter.
KARLEE :
You love me.
SWAT MEMBER 1:
No, sorry.

chant.

As the helicopter lifts off, multicolored streaks come
out of the mouth of the cave.
42 INT:PRISON HOLDING CELL
Karlee paces her cell, her porcelain white skin has taken
on a waxy yellow appearance. Though once a tall and, with
a proper posture, now has an elderly-like gait.
43 INT: PRISON MONITORING CENTRE
As Fujitsu, Adam and Mitch watch Karlee from the
Monitoring Room.
Screams echo throughout the halls.
Fujitsu shakes his head,
FUJITSU:
I don’t believe it, this is not
like her.
MITCH:
Not the Karlee we know, she is
under that spell. I hope we find
all the priest, spoil the coming
and bring her back.
Another bout of screams echo throughout the halls.
ADAM :
Ramayana said that we would know
when a altar was brought down, by
their scream of guilt.
FUJITSU:
That is not what I mean.
ADAM :
Then what?
FUJITSU:
Even before we implanted the
modifier, the first time, she
didn’t...
He picks up the autopsy photos.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: (2) 33.
FUJITSU: (contd)
...she didn’t kill her victims.
Yes, she took their testosterone,
but not enough to kill him.
Sesame walks in.
They look at him.
SESAME:
Well, it has been over what five
hundred years. I have noticed, a
few others, they seem to be in
overdrive. For example, Chester,
the snake demon, use to horde and
play with his food, now eats
immediately.
MITCH:
So it is like they are going on a
binge or something?
SESAME:
Precisely!
They all look back at the monitor.
More screams echo throughout the halls.
MITCH:
Bloody hell, how many altars are
there?
ADAM :
Ramayana and Shas’s group says
they are all over the world. I
have been coordinating with
agents and Human governments
everywhere, to round up the
reverts.
MITCH:
Even, the non-aggressive? I mean
they are too much of a threat.
SESAME:
Not to the human population but,
think what they could be forced
to do.
FUJITSU:
Especially since no one would
think twice about them doing
something.
ADAM :
Right,so it is more of a
protection, then an arrest.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: (3) 34.
Karlee falls to the floor.
Mitch goes down to her cells as she starts to get up.
She pulls herself up and grabs a hold of the bars, looking
straight at Mitch.
KARLEE:
I may be many things, but a
killer I am not. You know that
Mitch.
Mitch sighs
MITCH:
I know Karlee, I promise we will
get you back! But may I asked why
didn’t you come to us, why did
you go to Berth alone? I mean how
could you be so stupid.
Karlee looks down.
KARLEE :
I thought I could handle it
alone.
44 INT: IN FRONT OF BERTH’S CELL
Adam stands in front of Berth’s cell, a smirk on his face.
ADAM :
Thank you.
Berth growls and comes up to the bars.
BERTH:
I’ll rip your throat out.
ADAM :
Like I said thank you. You helped
us stop the Blood Truth from
undoing all we have accomplished.
Berth slinks back into the shadows.
45 INT: LARGE OVAL OFFICE
Karlee once again back to perfect health, walks into Adams
office.
KARLEE :
You wanted to see me.
Adam stands up and glares up at her.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: (2) 35.
ADAM :
You are on administrative leave.
KARLEE :
What, I was cleared, Adam !
ADAM :
So, you are going on leave
because I am pissed off at you...
KARLEE :
But...
ADAM :
...and either you turn around and
take this I’ll make it an unpaid
leave, you get me.
KARLEE :
Crystal, see you in two months,
I’ll be working...
Adam leans into the table.
ADAM :
On nothing, do you hear me!
Karlee smiles widely, turns around walks just over the
threshold, she turns her head to look at Adam.
KARLEE :
...on my tan!
