INT. A STARBUCKS CAFé - EVENING |
|
1 MONTH LATER |
|
The subtitle "1 month later" appears at the bottom of the screen. |
|
Establishing shot: the time is dark. for most of the day, Apostles roam the streets, randomly kill people they suspect of being gay, and roam the streets some more.
One of the killers shown is Prophetess Samarina, whose uniform consists of a blood-red cat mask, a matching floor-length fur coat, and a form-fitting matching bodysuit. She kills two teenage boys who merely say the word "gay."
Large screens the size of those in movie theaters are everywhere, and they are used for propogandic purposes. Special anchorpeople called "criers" show up on the screens and, with the speakers set at an extremely high volume, spout anti-gay and Tikhonist propoganda and heavily censored news 24/7, even when the characters are talking. |
|
Borislava is shown looking out her bedroom window at a street swarming with Apostles, who are just about to take a dinner break. |
|
Knowing this, she sneaks out of her house and goes to Starbucks to work on a song she's been writing. |
|
| BORISLAVA (Singing to music coming from her iPad.) There's nobody who decides about my life and me There's nobody who can tell me who I ought to be It might seem hard, but still so plain to see This is the real me. Yeah. |
|
|
Ivan brings Borislava some coffee. |
|
| IVAN Roses are red, violets are blue, I suck at poetry, much unlike you. |
|
|
| BORISLAVA (Giggling.) Aw, thanks, Ivan. |
|
|
| IVAN Seriously, you are amazing! That song really does bring manly tears to my eyes. It's so meaningful. |
|
|
| BORISLAVA It sure is. It's about my struggle as a transgendered girl to be seen as normal. |
|
|
| IVAN (Sigh.) I wish people here saw you as normal like your parents, Rima, and I do. Being transgendered is not a disease; it's what makes you, you. And you, Borislava, are an extremely strong and beautiful girl. (Borislava puts her hands to her face and starts crying tears of joy.) Borislava, I've had a crush on you since the first year of secondary school. |
|
|
Rima and Julia enter the cafe. Rima is dressed in masculine clothes and a false hipster moustache. |
|
| RIMA Awww, that's so romantic! |
|
|
| JULIA I guess it's now a double date. |
|
|
| BORISLAVA (Stand up to hug them.) Rima! Julia! I'm so elated to see you two! I've been locked up in my room by my overprotective parents, and I haven't been able to use my phone. Oh, I've been so worried about you. |
|
|
| RIMA Locked up in your room?! |
|
|
| BORISLAVA (Groans.) My parents grounded me for 3 months to keep me "safe from trouble," A.K.A. Tikhon's cronies. Ain't that stupid? How are the Apostles going to know whether I have a dong, and how would they suspect it? Like Aladdin said, "You're only in trouble if you get caught." Hmm, speaking of that, how have you and Julia not been caught? |
|
|
| JULIA It's quite simple really. First, I told my mother that I did not want to marry Dmitry until Russia was completely gay-free. She agreed to that, so then we went on to phase two: having Rima dress as a man so we could appear to be an opposite-sex couple. My parents think we are just friends, of course. |
|
|
| RIMA Then, 2 months from now, Tikhon will once again be a powerless Prime Minister, and killing us will be considered murder. Thus, Russia will never be truly gay-free, so she'll never marry Dmitry, and she'll run away and come live with me. Ahh, that'll be a perfect way to celebrate our 2-month wedding anniversary. |
|
|
| IVAN Wedding anniversary?! |
|
|
| RIMA Tomorrow, I'm going to ask a priest to marry us, and then, the day after, we're going to get married. |
|
|
| IVAN (Elated.) Ohhhh, I'm so proud of everyone! |
|
|
| BORISLAVA Me too! My cousin's getting married, and it turns out that I'm my crush's crush. (Ivan's face lights up.) Ivan, I love you too. Would you like to go, maybe, for a walk tomorrow? |
|
|
|
|
Peter pulls Ivan back behind the counter. |
|
|
|
| IVAN (To Peter) Ok, boss (To his friends) See y'all later |
|
|
Borislava, Rima, and Julia walk out of the cafe, and Ivan gets back to work. |
|
Peter, it turns out, was recording all of this on his phone, and he tries to send the recording to Tikhon, but the internet is down and there's no reception. |
|
|
Scene 2 |
|
INT. THE CATHEDRAL - MORNING |
|
The air is still nippy, but there is not a cloud in the sky, and the sunrise is gorgeous. The Apostles still march out in the streets and hide on rooftops looking for gays to kill. |
|
Father Vladimir kneels down in the massive cathedral, complete with grand marble columns and elaborate 18-meter high stained-glass windows, to thank God for this morning. |
|
| VLAD The grey-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night, Chequering the eastern clouds with streaks of light, And flecked darkness like a drunkard reels From forth day's path and Titan's fiery wheels: Now, ere the sun advance his burning eye, The day to cheer and night's dank dew to dry. |
|
|
Rima enters the cathedral with an excited grin on her face. |
|
| RIMA Father Vladimir! How art thou this fine morning? |
|
|
| VLAD Not better than you, my dear Rima! To what do I owe this visit? |
|
|
| RIMA Well Father... I am in love! |
|
|
| VLAD This is great, my dear! And who is the lucky man? |
|
|
| RIMA Well Father...it's not a man. |
|
|
| VLAD What do you mean, my dear? |
|
|
| RIMA Oh Father, I am so sorry that I came to you with this request, but I had no one else to turn to. |
|
|
| VLAD Are you telling me that you wish to marry another woman? |
|
|
| RIMA Yes! Her name is Julia. |
|
|
|
|
| RIMA I know, I know it is a crazy thing to ask of you, especially in a place like Russia, but we are sincere, we are in love, and we will not allow sadistic and warped people like (Mockingly) "His Divinity, the Messiah," "Her Divinity, the Prophetess," (Stop mocking.) or the Apostles tell us how we must live our lives! Gay is the way! (Vlad shuts her up and gestures that the authorities might be watching them, and Rima nods.) So will you help us, Father? Can you? |
|
|
| VLAD (Now getting nervous) This is no simple blessing you ask of me my child. The issue of homosexuality is a controversial one, not only in Russia, but here in this church, as well. I must be very careful. The wrong decision here could ruin my reputation, my career, and betray the trust of some of my closest friends. |
|
|
| RIMA I understand, Father. I am only here because I trust you, and I will trust in your decision here as well, whatever it will be. |
|
|
| VLAD Oh Rima….what shall I do, what shall I do? (He paces back and forth, deep in thought…eventually resolves himself and turns.) You and Julia are in love? And you both understand the potential consequences of this thing? Then, I will do it! |
|
|
| RIMA (Ecstatic, with tears in her eyes.) Oh Father! Thank you so much! |
|
|
Rima kisses Vlad on the cheek and exits |
|
| VLAD Farewell, my child, and may God help us all. (Begins pacing again.) What to do, what to do? My heart feels right, but my brain hasn't got a clue... I feel like I should approve of their love, But then there's God watching from above I promised I would help. I promised. (Start getting scared and emotional.) Forgive me, O Lord I repent! I beg forgiveness of thee.
To help would be to sin, and the devil would surely grin But to betray my dear old friend Would bring guilt to no end. |
|
|
Tikhon comes in for his morning prayer, and Vlad looks at him with interest and relief. Tikhon is praying in Russian. |
|
| TIKHON (Kneels) Vo imya Ottsa, i Syna , i Svyatogo Dukha, aminʹ. |
|
|
| VLAD (To himself) Tikhon! God is sending me a message. (To Tikhon) Hail, Divinity. |
|
|
| TIKHON (Stands up.) Hail father. You hath interrupted me in prayer to the other Messiah. |
|
|
| VLAD What other…? I'm sorry, my son, but I must ask a favor of you. It pains me to say this, but I cannot lie, especially in the Lord's house. I have consented to marry Rima and Julia tomorrow. |
|
|
| TIKHON (Shocked.) What?! HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH A THING?! |
|
|
| VLAD Their love was so beautiful and pure, I promised to help. Now I realize what I have done. You must mercifully stop the ceremony tomorrow. |
|
|
| TIKHON (Starts to leave.) Gladly! |
|
|
| VLAD (Worried.) But you mustn't hurt them! They are blind under the eye of God. They know not what they've done wrong! |
|
|
| TIKHON But they've sinned none-the-less! The Lord is telling me to put a stop to this mess!! |
|
|
| VLAD God is merciful, "The Other Messiah" is merciful, so you must be too! |
|
|
| TIKHON Bah! They deserve punishment for their transgressions. |
|
|
| VLAD You cannot, and will not, triumph love! |
|
|
| TIKHON Love? Love?! Hahaha! This is not love! Did you not ever read Leviticus 20:13? "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." This is lust of the lowest echelon!!! O, how do you even call yourself a priest? Heck, are you even heterosexual? |
|
|
| VLAD (Looks at the ground.) No, son. I am celibate. Since the day I did a great evil in the eyes of the Lord and also in your eyes… |
|
|
| TIKHON So you're confessing to committing a gay act? |
|
|
| VLAD Yes, I am. Since that fated day, May 24, 1993, my regret for that moment was so powerful that I decided to give up sex entirely. |
|
|
Tikhon freezes up, on the brink of having a PTSD attack. |
|
| TIKHON F-F-For the records, please tell me specifically every detail about your crime. |
|
|
| VLAD It was a dark, rainy evening on the day I mentioned earlier. I had finished teaching a ballet class to 9-year-old boys, and all had left except one boy; I believe his name started with a "T." |
|
|
Tikhon's face turns white, and he breaks into a cold sweat and starts hyperventilating. |
|
The camera zooms into his eye and then into his brain. |
|
|
INT. A DANCE STUDIO - EVENING |
|
FLASHBACK SEQUENCE. |
|
The footage is in black and white. |
|
The studio's floors are made of smooth wood, and the walls are covered in mirrors. The young boy dancers dressed in black leotards leave the studio, with the exception of Tikhon, whose parents are late. |
|
A younger, handsome, somewhat flamboyant Vlad approaches him. |
|
| VLAD My, my Tikhon. Your leotard looks just astonishing! Have I ever told you that? |
|
|
| CHILD TIKHON (Shy.) Y-yes, sir. |
|
|
| VLAD Oh, Tikhon, there's no need to be shy around me. Now, do you like magic tricks? |
|
|
|
|
| VLAD I can make milk shoot out of your… |
|
|
Vlad gives a pedo smile to Tikhon. |
|
The camera only show Vlad's and Tikhon's shadows as Vlad molests the child. |
|
| CHILD TIKHON (Crying) No! No!!! Stop touching me there! |
|
|
|
|
|
INT. DR. CHEKOV'S OFFICE - DAY |
|
STILL IN FLASHBACK |
|
In the square office no bigger than a public restroom, Dr. Chekov, an old, gray-haired, mustachioed therapist, sits in a large, velvet-covered chair with a notepad and pen and taking notes. |
|
Teenage Tikhon lies on a long, black couch with a vengeful and somber look on his face and his hands folded over his chest. |
|
| CHEKOV Tikhon, I understand your pain, and I know that kind of thing should never happen to a child. If anything could make you feel better, what would it be? |
|
|
| TEEN TIKHON A world where every gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender, including him, is dead because of me, that's what. That's why I want to work in the Russian government when I grow up. |
|
|
|
INT. THE CATHEDRAL - MORNING |
|
CUT BACK TO THE PRESENT. |
|
The camera zooms out of his eye. |
|
Tikhon slowly breaks out of his cold sweat and hyperventilation. |
|
| TIKHON (Scared.) It's-- it's you. (The fear turns to rage.) Apostles! After him! |
|
|
The Apostles break into the cathedral and try to arrest Vlad. They refuse to fire their guns because they are afraid of accidentally shooting Tikhon. |
|
Vlad is too quick for the Apostles, and while getting away, he triggers one of their smoke bombs. |
|
| TIKHON Thou will not escape mine vengeance, gay pedophile! |
|
|
| VLAD (Escaping.) Watch me! (Outside the chapel.) Oh, no, what have I done? |
|
|
Tikhon and the Apostles cough and try to fan away the smoke. |
|
Tikhon's iPhone rings, and he answers it. |
|
| TIKHON Peter, I'm trying to do my Heavenly Father's will. What do you want? |
|
|
| PETER (V.O.) (Through the phone.) Oh, thank goodness you finally answered. Until just now, there has been no reception, and the internet has been acting very stupid. Since I finally have contact with you, I have some crimes to report. |
|
|
| TIKHON Crimes? You have pimples, your voice always cracks, and you work at a bloody Starbucks. What crimes could you possibly tell me about? Your Calculus teacher gave you too much homework? |
|
|
| PETER (V.O.) (Agitated.) Just listen to this recording! |
|
|
Tikhon receives the recording from the previous day and plays it. |
|
| TIKHON (To himself) Borislava is transgendered? Her whole family shall be punished! That makes four criminals to bring to justice. Yes, I finally get to punish the man who scarred me for life, who stole my very childhood. But, my cousin is in that group and" I cannot kill a family member. Argh! What am I saying? It's 3 homos and a tranny. (Calls Samarina on the phone.) Darling, I want you to gather your men and have them find and slay those Four Horsemen now!!! |
|
Scene 3 |
|
EXT. ROSE GARDEN - DAY |
|
Julia is relaxing on a bench with a rose in her hand and a smile on her face. Her short, semi-sexy dress is as blue as the sky that is out now. |
|
Borislava and Ivan, on their date, come strolling down to where Julia is. |
|
| IVAN Your parents thought you were gay back then? |
|
|
| BORISLAVA Yep. But they were completely wrong. If I were gay, I would look in the mirror and see a boy who loves other boys. However, when I look in the mirror, I see"I see a girl who's a person. |
|
|
Ivan spots Julia, and his jaw drops. |
|
| BORISLAVA Baby, are you looking at other girls? (Turns head.) Holy Saint Francis! I think I just became bisexual. Wow, Julia, you look stunning! |
|
|
| JULIA Thanks Borislava. And if you don't mind me asking, what are you and Ivan talking about? |
|
|
| BORISLAVA I was about to tell him the story of my transgendered life, and boy, is it a long one. |
|
|
| JULIA (In a joking, sexy tone.) I love 'em nice and long, if you know what I mean. |
|
|
| BORISLAVA You naughty child. Ok, here goes. 17 years ago, I was born into a middle class household. I was a bouncing, plump, young baby girl, but what I did not know was that I was in the wrong body, and I had the wrong name to go with it. My name was Borislav. On the inside, I was 100% female; I never wanted to wear my boy clothes or play with my cars and action figures, but I preferred my cousin Rima's Barbie dolls, dresses, tutus, and leotards. My parents just thought I was gay at the time, or maybe it was a phase that would pass. But it wasn't. Oh, the tantrums I threw, the sleepless nights I had to go through. It continued until I was eight years old, when my parents took me to Dr. Chekov, who diagnosed me with gender identity disorder. He suggested that my parents buy me a new wardrobe consisting of girl's clothes, underwear, and swimsuits; and also that they legally change my name. Plus, he suggested that they put me on blocker drugs at age 11 and estrogen at age 13! I was so happy, and I felt almost complete, but it wasn't all peaches and cream. I was bullied at school"I was called names like "slag" and "tranny," and I got shoved inside lockers and shizz like that. When I was 14 and already had my b***s, some a-hole pushed me so that my butt got stuck in the locker, and boy, I was wedged in there until a really cute, open-minded rich boy helped me out. Guess who he is. |
|
|
| JULIA (Smiling.) Um, Ivan? |
|
|
|
|
| JULIA Wow, that's a very touching and inspiring story. |
|
|
| BORISLAVA Mmmhm!And these are my last weeks of having my pee-pee. In two months, I will get gender reassignment surgery! Oh, everything will be so perfect. I'll have my V and my boyfriend, I'll be ungrounded, and Dick-hon will have lost his power. |
|
|
| JULIA Honestly, girl, I would really love to shake hands with that Dr. Chekov guy. |
|
|
A gunshot sounds in the distance. |
|
A screen just next to the garden shows a crier, a handsome man with black hair, a clefted chin, large cheekbones, and an even larger smile. |
|
| CRIER (From the screen.) This is Crier Hansel Fridov, saying congratulations, Apostle Juanito Herod Montoya, for shooting Dr. Rimsky Chekov as punishment for helping trangender children. This kill has helped you surpass the kill record of Prophetess Samarina Capulich herself! |
|
|
| JULIA (Pissed off.) HOW ABOUT SOME SYMPATHY FOR THE VICTIMS, YOU BLOODY CRIER!!! DON'T YOU SEE HE'S JUST A MURDERER?! (She throws a stone sculpture of a book at the screen, as a reference to Orwell's "1984.") I don't want to live on this planet anymore. Actually, I love this planet. It's those homophobes that need to leave. |
|
|
| BORISLAVA I know, right? This is so freaking low! Like, when's your cousin going to leave us alone and respect the fact that He made us this way? |
|
|
| JULIA Um, Tikhon didn't make us; our parents did. |
|
|
| BORISLAVA Girlfriend, I'm talkin' 'bout good ol' Jehovah, Yahweh, Allah, Morgan Freeman, the big man in the sky, the capital H-I-M!!! (Sings) I'm beautiful in my way, Cause God makes no mistakes, I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way! |
|
|
| IVAN Don't be a drag, just be a queen! |
|
|
| JULIA (Frantic.) SHHHHH! Just because I hate the Apostles doesn't mean I want to be martyred by them! |
|
|
| BORISLAVA Hey, look who's talking, book-thrower. (The girls laugh.) Ah, here cometh thy lady. |
|
Scene 4 |
|
EXT. ROSE GARDEN - CONTINUOUS |
|
Rima enters the garden at a fast pace and with a huge smile. |
|
| RIMA Julia!!! (Hugs her tightly) Oh, Julia, he said "yes!" |
|
|
Julia, too excited to speak, kisses Rima's lips. |
|
Borislava and Ivan take the romanticness in and start making out as well. |
|
As the couples stare into their significant others' eyes, the crier speaks up. |
|
| CRIER And now for some tunes. |
|
|
"A Very Special Love" by Sarah Geronimo is played as the couples take part in a romantic slow-dancing scene. |
|
After much hurried searching, Vlad enters the rose garden, all tuckered out. |
|
| VLAD Make haste! Make haste! |
|
|
| RIMA But why? Is not the wedding tomorrow? |
|
|
| JULIA Rima, the sooner we get married, the sooner we will be together! |
|
|
|
|
Rima smiles at Julia and they both kneel to be married, and Borislava and Ivan stand aside, hold each other and smile. |
|
| VLAD So smile the heavens upon this holy act, That after hours with sorrow chide us not! These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite: Therefore love moderately; long love doth so; Rima, do thou takest Julia, whether the sun shine or the sky rain or snow? |
|
|
|
|
| VLAD And Julia, do you take Rima as your faithful wife? Do you take her in both times of joy, and times of unhappy strife? |
|
|
|
|
| VLAD (Stammering.) Then by the--power vested in me by--God for eternal life Do I hence pronounce you, Rima and Julia, loving wife and wife. |
|
|
Loud, happy music plays as they lean in for a kiss. |
|
Suddenly, Apostle Juanito Montoya, the deadliest Apostle, crashes the wedding, and Samarina and some other Apostles follow. |
|
This man is 22 years old, 6'8" tall and has spiky brown hair. Behind his feline mask is a scraggly beard, a cocky look in his brown eyes, and a pretty face. |
|
|
|
Samarina and the other Apostles grab the 5 people in the garden. Samarina is grabbing Julia. |
|
| SAMARINA STOP!!!! (pause) This is INSANITY! THIS MUST BE STOPPED!!! |
|
|
| RIMA (Struggling) I--how did you know? We told nobody of this wedding! Julia! |
|
|
| SAMARINA (To Juanito.) Well done, Montoya; you will be promoted to Vice Prophet for your good deeds. (To Julia) JULIA! You hath besmirched the name of the Capulich family! (To Rima) And you! Oh, Rima, you sicken me! Incarnation of Succubus, how dare you possess the soul of my cousin-in-law! You must die! |
|
|
| VLAD Please, no, I never wanted this! |
|
|
| SAMARINA Montoya, go and castrate him, let him bleed to death, and be sure to record it with this HD camera. That way, he will never again molest a young boy, even in hell, and my dear husband will know of this fact. |
|
|
| JUANITO Yes, Your Divinity. |
|
|
Juanito restrains Vlad and carries him away while Vlad screams his lungs out. |
|
Julia wiggles out of Samarina's grip and b***h-slaps her. |
|
Samarina knocks her to the ground. Rima tries to get out of her Apostles' grips, but they're too strong.
Samarina is about to kill Julia with suffocation when Borislava bites the hand that is over her mouth and shouts. |
|
|
|
| SAMARINA Try and stop me, ladyboy! (She calls an Apostle to hold Julia and stand up.) Tikhon told me all about you. Your ungodly half-and-half anatomy has already sealed your fate, and will send you to your death, followed by my treasonous cousin and yours. |
|
|
Juanito enters to tell Samarina some good news. |
|
| JUANITO Divinity, I just did it! Vladimir is dead now! |
|
|
|
|
| JUANITO (Points at Borislava.) Hey, is that a ladyboy? Hey, tranny, don't you realize that you're committing a heinous TRANS-gression? |
|
|
Samarina and Juanito laugh. |
|
A furious Ivan knocks his Apostles out cold and steps up to fight Samarina. |
|
| IVAN Consort! What, dost thou makes us minstrels? And thou make minstrels of us, look to hear nothing but discords. Here's my fiddlestick! (Holds up his dagger.) Here's that shall make you dance! Zounds Consorts! |
|
|
Ivan slashes at Samarina.
Samarina avoids being killed, but her left eye is sliced in half. |
|
Juanito shoots Ivan in his right shoulder and paralyzes his (Ivan's) right arm. |
|
Ivan keels over in pain, but then looks up at his opponents and makes a pun. |
|
| IVAN I can still take you on single-handedly! |
|
|
Ivan lunges at Samarina, trying to stab her.
Samarina shoots Ivan in the forehead with her revolver. Then, she takes the blood from the wound and spreads it on his forehead as a reference to the Bible verse Tikhon quoted earlier. |
|
| IVAN (Slurring) A plague on this society!!! (Dies) |
|
|
Borislava, Rima, and Julia look at the horrid spectacle in fear and melancholy.
Borislava, seeing that the only man to love her as a girlfriend, is choked up. |
|
| BORISLAVA O Rima, Rima, brave Ivan's dead! That gallant spirit hath aspired the clouds, Which too untimely here did scorn the earth. |
|
|
| RIMA (Furiously screaming.) SAMARIIIIINNNNNAAAAAAA!!!! |
|
|
Rima squirms out of the Apostles' clutches and knocks them out with her martial arts skills. She goes on to beat up the other Apostles, including Juanito, and dodge their bullets until the Prophetess has nobody to cover her.
She then confronts Samarina. |
|
| RIMA Die, fiend! You don't belong in this world! |
|
|
| SAMARINA It was not by my doing that I was brought to power. I was called here by into this position by God, who wished to make me a Savior, alongside my lover. |
|
|
| RIMA Savior?! You and your hateful husband slaughter innocent people just for being different! |
|
|
| SAMARINA All of his victims were sinful and deserving of death, (Lowers voice.) including President Ivanovich. Trust me, I'm the wife of the Messiah, the daughter-in-law of God himself. |
|
|
| RIMA Your words are as empty as your blasphemous soul. Mankind ill needs a savior such as you. |
|
|
| SAMARINA What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk; have at you! |
|
|
Samarina fires three of her four remaining shots at Rima, but they all miss because of Rima's quick reflexes.
Julia's parents and Peter, out for a walk, come across the spectacle, followed by the rest of the Montevsky family.
Rima then slides under Samarina's legs, grabs the gun out of the holster, and shoots her with the last bullet.
Rima, seeing what she just did, tries to get away, but Juanito wakes up, grabs her and ties her up. |
|
Tikhon walks in on the crime scene, takes a long look at it, and rushes to Samarina's side. |
|
| TIKHON (Freaking out.) Samarina!!! Honey!!! Are you okay? Holy Saint Francis, you're wounded! (holds her.) Shhhshshshsh. You're going to be okay, you're going to live, right? Right?! |
|
|
Samarina shakes her head side to side, and Tikhon's heart skips a beat. |
|
| SAMARINA (Using all her strength to speak.)
I--killed--molester--like--you--did, m-m-my--knight. |
|
|
She stares vacantly into space as her life flashes before her eyes. |
|
Scene 5 |
INT. SAMARINA'S MIND - DAY |
|
FLASHBACK SEQUENCE. |
|
This scene jumps locations and times all the time because it is Samarina's life flashing before her eyes. |
|
All dialog in this scene sounds echo-ey, and all the colors in the visulas are reduced, but not gone. |
|
Samarina's 2-year old face is dissloved over the foreground. It is extremely cute and full of happiness, and as it approaches 10 years of age, the happiness grows exponentially. |
|
Until her face becomes 10 years old, her memories being shown are nothing but laughter and happy moments such as opening Christmas presents, playing catch with her sister, and listening to her mother sing. |
|
Then, the loud pounding of a baseball bat on a girl's head resounds, and Samarina's young, happy face quickly snaps into a face of shock, sadness, anger, and hatred. As the horrid memories fly by, the face ages into the beautiful yet somewhat gaunt face of present-day Samarina. |
|
Her memories being shown are those of being kidnapped by lesbian pedophile Helga Yershov and then said criminal introducing herself to her victim. |
|
| SAMARINA Please don't hurt me, ma'am! |
|
|
| HELGA (With a creeper smile.) Aww, don't call ma'am; call me Helga Yershov. I'm your best friend. |
|
|
Then, the flashes show Samarina being sexually, physically, and mentally abused by her captor throughout the years. |
|
Samarina's face disappears from the foreground, and she, as an adult, is shown handcuffed in a shed, listening to Tikhon and Helga argue. |
|
As of this time, Tikhon is only a policeman, not a dictator, prime minister, nor Apostle. |
|
| TIKHON (O.S.) Open the damn shed now!!! |

|
| HELGA (O.S.) I'm telling you there's nothing in there! I swear on the Bible. |
|
|
| TIKHON (O.S.) Well I'm telling you that I was not born yesterday, so I say you're lying! OPEN THE SHED OR I'LL SHOOT! |
|
|
|
|
A gunshot is heard, and Tikhon barges into the shed. |
|
From Samarina's point of view, Tikhon runs over to her, kneels beside her, and looks her in the eyes. |
|
| SAMARINA (Startled and ecstatic at the same time.) You-you saved me. |
|
|
|
|
| SAMARINA S-s-s-s-Samarina S-s-Smirnoff |
|
|
Tikhon realizes he's looking at the girl who appeared on the "Missing" posters a few days before he was molested. His face shows this realization. |
|
| TIKHON Samarina? Samarina?! |
|
|
The colors return, the echo stops, and Tikhon's realization face morphs into a worried one full of tears. |
|
Scene 6 |
EXT. ROSE GARDEN - DAY |
|
BACK TO PRESENT |
|
Still from Samarina's POV. |
|
|
|
|
|
Now it's a third-person POV again. |
|
Borislava, Julia, and their families are still at the crime scene, Rima is tied up, and all Apostles except for Juanito, who is technically now the Prophet, are unconscious |
|
Tikhon cradles Samarina in his arms and weeps. He then lays the corpse down and leaps to his feet in an angered, vengeful frenzy. |
|
| TIKHON (Shouting and cursing.) Where are the vile beginners of this fray?!!! WHERE THE F**K ARE THEY?!!!!!! |
|
|
| BORISLAVA (Still upset about her boyfriend's death.) Your Divinity, I can discover all The unlucky manage of this fatal brawl: There lies that b***h, slain by young Rima, That slew my boyfriend, brave Ivan! |
|
|
| LADY CAPULICH (Weeping) Sama, my cousin! O my brother's in-law! O Divinity! O cousin! husband! O, the blood is spilt O my dear in-law! President, thou are not a foe, For blood of ours, shed blood of Montevsky. O cousin, cousin! |
|
|
| TIKHON Borislava, who began this vile fray? |
|
|
| BORISLAVA Samarina hit the life of stout Ivan Samarina here slain, whom Rima's hand did slay. |
|
|
| LADY CAPULICH I beg for justice, which thou, Tikhon, must give, Rima slew thy wife, Rima must not live! |
|
|
| TIKHON (Sarcastic, for he knows the answer.) Rima slew her, she slew Ivan! Who now the price of her dear blood doth owe? |
|
|
| BORISLAVA Not Rima, Chief, she was Ivan's friend; Her fault concludes but what the law should end, The life of thine wife. |
|
|
| TIKHON And for that offence immediately we must slay her hence! |
|
|
Juanito c***s his gun. |
|
| BORISLAVA SLAY HER HENCE?!!! |
|
|
| MONTEVSKY Slay her hence?! |
|
|
| MRS. MONTEVSKY Slay her hence?! |
|
|
|
|
Tikhon aims his AK-47 at Borislava. |
|
| TIKHON You dare question my leadership, slag? |
|
|
| MONTEVSKY (Desperate to save Rima's life.) Nononononono! She was about to tell you of a creative way to execute Rima. |
|
|
|
|
| MONTEVSKY You could put her in a prison camp for life; said camp can have living conditions most horrid and fatal. That way, Rima may die and will be separated from Julia, and then thy cousin just might kill herself and save you the trouble. |
|
|
| TIKHON Julia is no cousin of mine, but fair enough! I will amend my bill to stay true to the deal, but I shall add my own twist. As of 48 hours from now, Rima, Borislava, and all gays are sentenced to a life of hard labor in Antarctica. |
|
|
Scene 7 |
INT. KREMLIN PALACE LIVING ROOM - EVENING |
|
This scene will be done in mime, with some sad music.
The Capuliches have a private funeral service for Samarina.
In the Kremlin Palace living room, Lord and Lady Capulich, Julia, Peter, Dmitry, and even Nana are mourning Sam's death and glaring at Julia.
Tikhon is bawling over the loss of his wife and he turns to Julia. He lunges at her and tries to strangle her, but Capulich, Peter, and Dmitry hold him back. Tikhon stops and exits to start preparing for the televised funeral service which will be in 2 days.
Lord and Lady Capulich and Dmitry give furious glares to Julia because of her unauthorized marriage to another woman, who happens to be a killer.
The parents walk over to Julia and beat her, and Dmitry smiles.
Nana runs away, and Julia calls her a coward.
Dmitry goes down on one knee to propose to Julia, but she says "no." She then receives another beating.
Julia still says "no" until her father threatens to slit her throat; then she says "yes" to marrying Dmitry. |
|
Scene 8 |
EXT. THE CITY SQUARE OF MOSCOW - EVENING |
|
The sun is setting, and some clouds roll in to cover the sky. |
|
Later that same day, Samarina's funeral/Julia's wedding to Dmitry occurs in the city square, and many citizens attend, dressed entirely in black formal wear, matching cat masks, and silver crucifix necklaces.
Tikhon and Prophet Juanito are dressed similar this way as well, except Tikhon's face is showing, and Juanito wears a black robe. |
|
Rima gives one last look to Julia as she (Rima) and Borislava are thrown into a helicopter destined for Antarctica. |
|
The chopper flies away, leaving Julia with a crocodile-smiling Dmitry. |
|
| FADE TO A FEW MINUTES LATER. |
|
|
| TIKHON (Solemn.) I pronounce you, Dmitry and Julia, husband and wife. You may kiss the bride. |
|
|
Dmitry kisses Julia as tears stream down her face. |
|
| TIKHON I do love a good wedding. Especially this one, because it just goes to show that you can find love even in the most hopeless of places. Julia married the finest man in Russia at this funeral, a dark, solemn event where we are here to send a strong, beautiful, goddess-like woman to a better place. Her name is Samarina Vesna Capulich Smirnoff. Born in 1983, she was raised in Stalingrad by her loving parents and older sister. Much like myself, she was living a happy-go-lucky childhood until May 21, 1993, when she was (Tries to fight back tears.) abducted and forced to live under most unspeakable living conditions. She could have easily killed herself, but she stuck it out and gained an adamant hatred against gays, for her captor was lesbian. (Now starts to cry.) AND HOW WAS SHE REPAID FOR HER DIGNITY AND BRAVERY?! SHE HAD THE DISHONOR OF BEING SLAIN BY THE SCOURGE! A LESBIAN FROM THE HOUSE OF MONTEVSKY! (He stops crying.) Things are going to be different now. Prophet, have you hacked every satellite worldwide? |
|
|
|
|
| TIKHON Good. Now show the entire world that the Messiah has returned. |
|
|
Juanito nods and then fiddles with his Macbook until all televisions in the world have turned on and they all show Tikhon.
This dystopian phenomenon is shown onscreen to evil Latin chanting. |
|
| TIKHON Attention, world! This is the Messiah of Russia saying that things are going to be different now. I have amended my anti-gay bill so that it states that I am in power till the day I die. And furthermore, everyone around the world, rich and poor, old and young, powerful and powerless, do you want to receive wealth and honor beyond your wildest dreams, or should I launch an ICBM at your city? (Everyone around the world gasps.) Then I need you all to join my Apostle force and start killing and capturing every LGBT you suspect, worldwide. I will give 50 million rubles those who kill 20 of those heathens and 200 million rubles to any Apostle who sends 20 heathens to Helga Yershov Labor Camp in Antarctica. It's time for the era of the New New Testament!!!! |
|
|
Montage: Tikhon is officially coronated.
The Apostles kill and arrest not just Russian gays, but every gay worldwide, including big-name celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres and Neil Patrick Harris.
A map shows that other countries around the world are either becoming a member of the United Empire of Tikhonist Russia, or they are becoming a part of Russia itself. The Capital is moved to what was formerly Dubai, UAE, and renamed "Samarina."
Inmates are shown building statues in the images of Tikhon, Samarina, and Juanito; building The Church of Capulich, a large stadium to be used for battle royales; and dying in the process.
The world has entered a dark age. |

FADE OUT. |
