This is the new script for the first production to come from Final Light Productions (website coming soon!). Now I realize that the dialogue and action could use some work, but that will all be fixed. The script isn't short so please make time to read it when you can (when shot it will be about an hour long). So Enjoy!
The Hunter
OPENING CREDITS
FADE IN:
EXT-CEMETERY-NIGHT
GABRIEL WALKS ONTO CAMERA. HE IS WEARING A TRENCHCOAT WITH A SWORD STICKING OUT OF THE BACK. A SOCOM PISTOL IS HELD IN A THIGH HOLSTER. ALSO TWO KNIFES ARE ON ANKLE STRAPS. A THIRD IS IN THE SMALL OF HIS BACK, HIDDEN BY THE COAT.
GABRIEL:
Show yourself!
GABRIEL EASES THE SWORD IN IT'S SHEATH AND PREPARES FOR THE COMING FIGHT.
GABRIEL:
I know your out there, Johnathan
NOISE IS HEARD OFF CAMERA. GABRIEL TURNS AND DRAWS SWORD. A CAT JUMPS DOWN AND WALKS AWAY. GABRIEL SLIDES HIS SWORD BACK INTO PLACE AND TURNS AROUND, JOHNATHAN IS THERE. HE GRABS GABRIEL AND LIFTS HIM UP BY THE NECK.
JOHNATHAN:
I hate it when you call me that!
GABRIEL:
(Mockingly)
I know, but your so cute when your angry.
JOHNATHAN HISSES AND BEARS HIS FANGS AT GABRIEL. GABRIEL SEEMS UNAFFECTED.
JOHNATHAN:
Well then, I'll just have to teach you some respect.
JOHNATHAN WALKS OVER TO A TOMBSTONE WITH GABRIEL STILL HELD BY THE NECK AND THROWS HIM ONTO THE TOMBSTONE. THE STONE BREAKS FROM THE FALL. GABRIEL ROLLS AROUND ON THE FLOOR FOR A FEW MOMENTS.
JOHNATHAN:
You know, blood really doesn't taste so bad. The first two
or three times can leave you with a pretty nasty
aftertaste, but after that. Well it just tastes so good
going down.
GABRIEL:
Shut your filthy mouth you bastard.
JOHNATHAN:
If I shut my mouth then how can I feast on you? I have
such anticipation.
GABRIEL:
You should really work on that then.
JOHN PULLS THE KNIFE FROM THE SMALL OF HIS BACK AND CLICKS IT OPEN. HE SLAMS THE PURE SILVER BLADE INTO JOHNATHAN'S RIGHT ARM AND USES THE MOMENT OF CONFUSION TO GET OUT OF JOHNATHAN'S GRIP AND ROLL BACK. GABRIEL STANDS AND DRAWS HIS SWORD.
JOHNATHAN:
(standing holding his arm)
Your gonna need a lot more than that Mr. Sensitive. I am a
Born Fallen. My strength is ten fold to yours.
GABRIEL LOOKS AT HIS WATCH AND PUTS HIS SWORD BACK IN IT'S SHEATH.
GABRIEL:
And you only have two more minutes 'til sunrise.
JOHNATHAN LOOKS AT THE HORIZON HISSES AT THE RISING SUN.
JOHNATHAN:
This isn't over yet, Hunter.
GABRIEL:
Yeah, yeah it never is, is it?
GABRIEL DRAWS HIS GUN AND FIRES AT JOHNATHAN AS HE RUNS AWAY. GABRIEL SLIDES AN EAR PIECE INTO HIS RIGHT EAR AND SITS DOWN ON TOP OF A GRAVESTONE.
GABRIEL:
(Listens)
Yeah, he escaped again.
GABRIEL:
(Listens again)
No, I don't think I scared him.
GABRIEL:
(Listens)
Of course, I'll meet you back at the warehouse, it's safe
now.
GABRIEL GETS UP AND WALKS AWAY AS HE PASSES A POLE...
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT-WAREHOUSE-DAY
CAR DRIVES PAST ANOTHER POLE, PUT TOGETHER TO LOOK LIKE IT WENT STRAIGHT FROM ONE TO THE OTHER. THE CAR PULLS INTO A PARKING SPOT OUTSIDE OF THE WAREHOUSE AND GABRIEL STEPS OUT. HE IS WEARING SUN GLASSES AND STILL WEARING HIS TRENCHCOAT AND SWORD AND GUNS AND KNIFES. HE WALKS UP TO THE FRONT DOOR. THERE IS A KEYPAD NEXT TO IT, HE ENTERS IN THE DESIRED NUMBERS (1919) AND THE DOOR CLICKS OPEN. HE WALKS IN.
INT-WAREHOUSE-DAY
GABRIEL:
Ben, you home?
GABRIEL FLICKS ON THE LIGHTS AND SEES BEN SITTING IN ONE OF THE CHAIRS IN THE ROOM.
BEN:
What took you so long, it's been 4 hours since you last
checked in, I've been worried.
GABRIEL WALKS UP TO A RACK ON THE WALL HE PLACES HIS KNIFES, EXCLUDING THE ONE HE SLAMMED INTO JOHNATHAN'S ARM, HIS SWORD AND HIS GUNS ON THEIR RESPECTED PLACES.
GABRIEL:
I'm okay Mother.
BEN:
Cut the cr** Gabe.
GABRIEL TURNS FROM THE CASE AND LOOKS INTO BEN'S EYES. HE SEES THAT BEN ALREADY KNOWS SO HE TELLS HIM.
GABRIEL:
So I made a few stops. If I know where they sleep why not
use it to my advantage?
GABRIEL SHRUGS AND SITS IN ONE OF THE CHAIRS PLACED AROUND THE ROOM. BEN BEGINS TO PLAY WITH THE RING ON HIS LEFT HAND. IT'S OBVIOUS THAT IT'S A SERPENT BITING IT'S OWN TAIL.
BEN:
It's too dangerous. What if there's a trap the next time
you walk in. Do you think they don't realize what's going
on? When a whole nest is eradicated in one day? They know
Gabe, and if you keep this up they will be there waiting
for you. Did you forget about the Day-walkers? Do you
know why I got this ring?
(he lifts up his left hand)
For being the one the Hunters look to when they need
guidance, and for being their leader. Now listen to me for
once god damnit!
GABRIEL:
No I didn't forget about the Daywalkers. I take care of
them when I come across them. And I know how you got that
ring, you don't have to remind me everyday.
BEN:
It's too dangerous, and we can't afford to lose you, your
the most powerful asset in the resistance.
GABRIEL:
What makes me so different than anyone else?
BEN:
I don't know, something in your genes. That doesn't
matter, you are who you are, and your good at what you do.
So stop trying to get yourself killed. I know you've been
through a lot, but you have to stop. We need you.
GABRIEL:
Whatever.
GABRIEL GETS UP AND STARTS TO WALK INTO ANOTHER PART OF THE WAREHOUSE.
BEN:
Don't walk away from me.
GABRIEL:
I'll do whatever I damn well please, you don't control me.
I'll be laying down, if you need me, don't come and get me.
WITH THAT HE WALKS OUT OF THE ROOM.
BEN:
(ALONE NOW)
Damn kid is gonna get himself killed someday.
FADE OUT.
FADE IN:
INT-WAREHOUSE-NIGHT
GABRIEL WALKS INTO THE ROOM WHERE HE AND BEN HAD HAD THE FIGHT EARLIER.
GABRIEL:
Time to hunt.
BEN:
Wait.
BEN WALKS OUT FROM AROUND THE CORNER.
GABRIEL:
What do you want now?
BEN:
All I want to say is be careful. I think we're up against
more than we suspect, so be careful.
GABRIEL:
(he grins)
When am I not careful? I'll be fine.
BEN:
Watch out for Johnathan.
GABRIEL:
I can handle him if it comes to that.
BEN:
No you can't, your not invincible Gabe. Don't get cocky.
GABRIEL:
Whatever, I'm out of here.
HE WALKS OUT THE DOOR YOU HEAR A DOOR SLAM AND LIGHTS SHINE THROUGH THE TINTED WINDOWS.
BEN:
I hope he can handle himself.
BEN TURNS AROUND AND HEARS SOMETHING IN ANOTHER PART OF THE WAREHOUSE.
BEN:
(yelling)
Lisa, is that you?
LISA:(OS)
Yea Ben just getting ready to head out.
BEN:
(yelling)
Okay.
BEN HEADS BACK TO HIS ROOM. THE DOOR IS CLOSED BUT THE WINDOW IS OPEN. BEN TURNS TO RUN BUT IS STOPPED IN THE DOORWAY.
CUT TO:
The Fallen
INT-NEST 1-NIGHT
GABRIEL COMES AROUND A CORNER AND RAISES HIS PISTOL TO HIS RIGHT CHEEK, HE FLIPS ON THE RED LIGHT LOCATED ON THE FRONT OF HIS PISTOL. HE SHINES IT ACROSS THE SMALL DARKENED ROOM AND FLIPS ON HIS NIGHT VISION GOGGLES. GABRIEL WALKS INTO THE ROOM AND A DOOR SLAMS CLOSED BEHIND HIM.
FALLEN 1:
Why are you here, Human?
GABRIEL:
To kill you and your friends.
ONE OF THE FALLEN WALKS OVER TO GABRIEL AND NOTICES THE GUN. AND TAKES IT FROM HIM. HE THROWS IT AGAINST THE WALL AND IT FALLS TO THE FLOOR.
FALLEN 2:
He is a Hunter master.
GABRIEL:
Ah, so they call you master now. I remember when you were
still calling the Lesser Fallen your masters Malcolm.
MALCOLM:
(Stands from his seat and points at Gabriel, he
is angered, and yelling)
GET HIM OUT OF MY SITE THIS INSTANT.
GABRIEL:
You lay one hand on me and you'll never use it again,
regeneration or not.
FALLEN 1:
I don't think that's possible. You are in the precense of
a Master.
GABRIEL:
Malcolm, psh, he doesn't scare me. I could kill both him
and you with one hand tied behind my back.
GABRIEL REACHES DOWN TO HIS BOOT AND PULLS ONE OF THE KNIFES OUT AND SLIPS IT UPSIDE DOWN IN HIS HAND READY TO THROW OR STAB.
FALLEN 2:
Tr-
MALCOLM:
Do not tempt him Eric.
ERIC:
Yes Master.
GABRIEL:
You really enjoy that power don't you Malcolm, you want to
know what I think of it?
MALCOLM:
Not particularly no.
GABRIEL:
Too bad, you get to anyway.
HE SPITS ON MALCOLM'S SHOES.
ERIC:
HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE MASTER!
ERIC RUNS AT GABRIEL, BUT GABRIEL IS ALREADY ON HIS FEET, HE PULLS THE KNIFE, FLIPS IT FORWARD AND SLAMS IT INTO ERIC'S NECK. GABRIEL GRIPS ERIC'S SHOULDER AND SPINS. ERIC SPINS AROUND AND HIS HEAD FALLS OFF. GABRIEL BEGINS TO WALK TOWARDS MALCOLM
GABRIEL:
You sure you don't want to run like last time Malcolm?
Cause now would be the time to do it.
MALCOLM:
(excited)
I have more powers than you could ever imagine!
GABRIEL:
Let me guess, they were given to you by Johnathan. Right?
MALCOLM:
I do not have to answer to you.
GABRIEL:
In other words, yes. I've got news for you.
HE REACHES MALCOLM AND IS STANDING VERY CLOSE TO HIM.
GABRIEL:
Those new "powers" aren't s***.
MALCOLM:
Don't judge until you have experienced.
MALCOLM SLAMS HIS PALM INTO GABRIEL'S CHEST, GABE IS SLAMMED BACK INTO THE WALL THAT WAS ONCE A DOOR.
GABRIEL:
Okay, maybe I underestimated you.
MALCOLM:
Or I overestimated you.
GABRIEL FLINCHES AS IF STRUCK THEN STANDS AND UNSHEATHES HIS SWORD.
GABRIEL:
Sure you want to test that?
GABRIEL RUNS ACROSS THE ROOM, HE STABS HIS SWORD AT MALCOLM'S HEAD HOPING TO FINISH IT QUICKLY BUT MALCOLM DUCKS AND THE SWORD HITS AIR. MALCOLM KICKS GABRIEL'S SWORD UP AND IT FLIES OUT OF HIS HAND AND FALLS TO THE FLOOR BEHIND THEM. GABRIEL DOES A BACKWARD ROLL AND GRABS THE REMAINING KNIFE FROM HIS BOOT. HE THROWS IT AT MALCOLM AND IT LODGES IN HIS CHEST. GABRIEL LANDS AND GRABS HIS GUN FROM THE GROUND AND BEGINS TO FIRE. THREE BULLETS LAND IN MALCOLM'S NAKED CHEST AND HE FALLS BACK AGAINST THE WALL IN SURPRISE. ALMOST INSTANTLY THE BULLETS BEGIN TO "PRESS" THEIR WAY OUT OF HIS BODY.
GABRIEL:
And I was hoping you would be weak against silver.
MALCOLM BEGINS TO WALK TOWARDS GABRIEL.
MALCOLM:
(with disgust)
Your wishes will never be granted, Hunter.
THE BULLETS FALL AGAINST THE FLOOR.
GABRIEL:
Well looks like play time's over.
HE ROLLS TO THE SIDE AS MALCOLM RUNS TOWARD HIM GABRIEL GRABS HIS SWORD AND STABS UP AS MALCOLM RUNS INTO THE BLADE. GABRIEL QUICKLY SLAMS THE BLADE UP HIS BODY AND IT COMES OUT AT THE TOP OF HIS HEAD. GABRIEL SPINS AND SLICES OF MALCOLM'S HEAD AS HE FINISHES.
GABRIEL:
Now to find my way out of this s*** hole.
FADE OUT.
EXT-NEST 1-NIGHT
GABRIEL WALKS OUT OF THE SMALL DOOR ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING. HE WIPES THE BLOOD ON HIS HAND OFF OF ON THE WALL TO THE RIGHT OF THE DOOR. HE SLIPS ON HIS NIGHT VISION GOGGLES AND LOOKS AROUND QUICKLY. FALLEN ARE COMING TOWARDS HIM FROM EVERY ANGLE.
GABRIEL:
s***.
GABRIEL LOOKS AROUND AND NOTICES A SMALL LEDGE THAT WILL GIVE HIM ENOUGH HEIGHT TO REACH THE ROOF. HE JUMPS TO THE LEDGE THEN TO THE ROOF OF THE SMALL BUILDING AND RUNS TO THE OTHER SIDE, HE JUMPS FROM HERE TO THE NEXT BUILDING, UNTIL HE REACHES THE END, THERE IS A FENCE HE JUMPS OVER IT AND ROLLS WHEN HE HITS THE GROUND. HE GETS UP AND RUNS TO THE CAR, HE GETS IN AND DRIVES OFF. AS HIS CAR TURNS THE CORNER HOWLING IS HEARD.
CUT TO:
The Discovery
EXT-WAREHOUSE-DAWN
GABRIEL KICKS HIS DOOR OPEN AND STEPS OUT, HIS HANDS ARE STAINED WITH BLOOD AND IT BECOMES OBVIOUSLY HE STOPPED AT A FEW MORE NESTS BEFORE MAKING HIS WAY BACK. HE WALKS NOW WITH A SLIGHT LIMP. HE PUNCHES IN THE CODE AGAIN AND WALKS THROUGH THE DOOR.
CUT TO:
INT-WAREHOUSE-DAWN
THE CHAIRS THAT HAD BEEN PLACED AGAINST THE WALL ARE SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE ROOM, AND HIS WEAPON SHELF HAS BEEN KNOCKED OVER. HOWEVER THE LIGHTS ARE OFF SO HE SEES NONE OF THIS.
GABRIEL:
Ben, you were right, they are catching on, they were
waiting for me at every nest I went to. I should have
listened. I'm sorry.
GABRIEL FLIPS ON THE LIGHT AND SEES THE DESTRUCTION. HE RUNS AROUND THE CORNER AND INTO BEN'S ROOM, NO ONE IS THERE. ONLY THING IS A NOTE ON THE DESK HELD DONE BY A SEVERED HAND, BEN'S HAND. YOU CAN TELL BY HIS RING. GABRIEL WALKS TO THE DESK AND LIFTS THE HAND. HE LOOKS AT IT DISGUSTEDLY AND WITH ANGER GROWING ON HIS FACE. HE TAKES THE RING OFF OF THE FINGER AND SLIPS IT INTO HIS POCKET. HE PICKS UP THE NOTE AND READS IT.
JOHNATHAN:(V.O.)
Hello again my friend, as I'm sure you are the one reading
this Gabriel. By now you are the last of the Hunters. All
of your brethren will have been eradicated over the course
of the night. In short your friends are dead. Your
mentor, Benjamin, will have been used by this time and with
his deed completed will be dead, well I guess you could
call it that. Good day, and I hope to see you soon,
Gabriel, Last of the Hunter's.
GABRIEL CRUMPLES THE NOTE IN HIS HAND.
GABRIEL:
That son of a b**ch is gonna pay for this.
GABRIEL WALKS OUT OF THE ROOM.
CUT TO:
Revenge
EXT-CEMETERY-DAY
GABRIEL PULLS UP OUTSIDE OF THE CEMETERY AND STEPS OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. HE WALKS THROUGH THE OPEN GATE AND ONCE INSIDE BENDS TO THE GROUND, HE TOUCHES HIS HAND TO THE GROUND AND WHEN HE LIFTS IT BACK UP HIS FINGERS ARE RED WITH BLOOD. HE STANDS AND CONTINUES ON HIS WAY FOLLOWING THE BLOOD TRACKS. NONE OF THE DAY-WALKING FALLEN ARE TO BE SEEN. GABRIEL FINALLY REACHES A SMALL CRYPT WHERE THE TRACKS END, THE DOOR TO THE CRYPT IS OPEN.
INT-CRYPT-DAY
GABRIEL WALKS IN AND FLIPS ON HIS NIGHT VISION GOGGLES. ONCE AGAIN NO FALLEN. HE MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE SMALL FLIGHT OF STAIRS AND FOLLOWS THE DAMP CORRIDOR UNTIL HE REACHES A DOOR AT THE END. HE LAYS ON THE GROUND AND TRIES TO SEE UNDER THE DOOR BUT IT IS NO GOOD. HE STANDS AND SLOWLY OPENS THE DOOR A LITTLE BIT TO SEE INSIDE. JOHNATHAN IS STANDING OVER BEN WHO HAS BEEN TIED AND PLACED ON TOP OF A PEDESTAL. FIVE MEN ARE PLACED AROUND THE ROOM IN A PENTAGRAM FORM JOHNATHAN IS FACING TOWARDS THE DOOR. HE LOOKS UP AND LOOKS STRAIGHT AT GABRIEL. GABRIEL FALLS BACK INTO THE HALLWAY AND WAITS FOR THE GUARDS. NOTHING HAPPENS. JOHNATHAN BEGINS TO CHANT SOMETHING. GABRIEL GOES BACK UP TO THE DOOR. SECONDS AFTER HE REACHES THE DOOR A HAND FALLS ON HIS SHOULDER. HE STANDS SLOWLY AND TURNS TO SEE LISA BEHIND HIM.
GABRIEL:
(whispering)
Lisa, am I happy to see you.
LISA:
Your lucky your alive.
GABRIEL:
I know, trust me, I'm counting my blessings today. How did
you know where I was?
LISA:
I followed you from the warehouse. Why are you here?
GABRIEL:
They have Ben.
LISA:
They haven't turned him yet, like they did the others?
GABRIEL:
Wait. I never mentioned that the other's had been turned,
how did you know that.
LISA:
We've been getting calls in all night from Hunters, most
ending with screams.
GABRIEL:
You were scheduled to be on the field last night.
GABRIEL REACHES BEHIND HIM BACK AND UNSHEATHES THE KNIFE AT THE SMALL OF HIS BACK.
LISA:
Don't do that Gabriel, I don't want to hurt you.
GABRIEL:
But, isn't that what your kind do, hurt people. Make them
suffer while you feast on their life?
LISA:
Hey, I'm new to this so don't go giving me that moral cr**.
THE DOOR OPENS BEHIND GABRIEL AND TWO MORE FALLEN ARE STANDING THERE.
GABRIEL:
I walked right into this didn't I? How long have you been
one of them?
LISA:
Yes you did, and a few weeks. How else could the Fallen
have known where everyone was going to be last night?
GABRIEL:
You b**ch.
LISA:
Call me what you will, but from now on it better be
Mistress. Take him to John.
FALLEN 3:
Yes Mistress.
THE TWO FALLEN GRAB GABRIEL AND TAKE HIM INTO THE ROOM. JOHNATHAN HAS STOPPED CHANTING AND IS NOW STANDING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PEDESTAL FACING AWAY FROM BEN.
JOHNATHAN:
Ahh, good just in time for the main event. I was hoping
you would be.
GABRIEL:
Shut the hell up.
JOHNATHAN:
My my, so touchy today.
GABRIEL:
What the hell do you want with Ben?
JOHNATHAN:
You will find out soon.
JOHNATHAN TURNS AROUND AND ATTENDS TO BEN'S BINDINGS.
GABRIEL:
Wha-
JOHNATHAN HOLDS OUT A HAND.
GABRIEL:
-t are-
FALLEN 3 BUTTS GABRIEL IN THE NOSE WITH HIS ELBOW. GABRIEL'S NOSE MAKES A SATISFYING CRUNCHING SOUND AND BEGINS TO BLEED.
GABRIEL:
You so-
FALLEN 2 ELBOWS GABRIEL IN HIS STOMACH.
FALLEN 3:
Beg for your Master's forgiveness.
GABRIEL:
Screw you.
FALLEN 3 STUFFS A RAG INTO GABRIEL'S MOUTH AND TIES IT IN WITH A PIECE OF CLOTH.
FALLEN 4:
Shut your insolent mouth.
JOHNATHAN LOOKS AT BEN FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN MAKES ANOTHER HAND SIGNAL, FALLEN 2 WALKS UP TO HIM. THEY TALK FOR A FEW MOMENTS, ALONE AND THEN FALLEN 4 WALKS BACK AND WHISPERS SOMETHING TO FALLEN 3.
FALLEN 3:
Master says they have much preparation yet. You shall be
taken to your cell until it is time.
THEY LIFT HIM AND CARRY HIM OUT OF THE ROOM, GABRIEL IS FIGHTING AND KICKING.
FADE OUT.
INT-GABRIEL'S CELL-DAY
GABRIEL SITS IN HIS CELL, HE HAS BEEN STRIPPED OF ALL OF HIS ARMAMENTS AND HIS TRENCHCOAT.
GABRIEL:
You know, if you guys don't let me out soon I'm going to
start singing, you may have escaped Hell once, but this
time won't be as easy.
FALLEN 3:
Shut up!
GABRIEL:
You can't do anything, I know you were ordered not to open
this door no matter what happens, so don't start that s***
with me.
SILENCE, GABRIEL RUNS HIS HAND THROUGH HIS HAIR AND EXHALES. A DOOR OUTSIDE OPENS, HE WALKS INTO THE CORNER AND WAITS.
JOHNATHAN:(OS)
Gabriel, get out of that corner or I'm going to hit you
with the door.
GABRIEL:
I see you can at least hear better.
GABRIEL WALKS BACK AND SITS ON THE BENCH. THE DOOR OPENS AND JOHNATHAN WALKS IN.
GABRIEL:
You have a lot of nerve showing your face here, what do you
want?
JOHNATHAN:
Really? The same may be said to you, I remember you being
the one trespassing, not myself.
GABRIEL:
Eat s***.
JOHNATHAN PUNCHES GABRIEL IN THE STOMACH.
JOHNATHAN:
I've wanted to do that for a while. However, I do have a
reason to be here.
GABRIEL:
Well get on with it, I really hate looking at you.
JOHNATHAN:
Harsh, but deserved. I want you to be my guard.
GABRIEL:
Why?
JOHNATHAN:
Your the best I'm sure you've noticed that, due to your
continual survival.
GABRIEL:
What the hell are you talking about.
JOHNATHAN:
I didn't kill your parents.
GABRIEL:
How dare you speak of them!
HE TRIES TO GET UP BUT HE FALLS BACK DOWN AS JOHNATHAN PUTS HAND ON GABRIEL'S SHOULDER.
JOHNATHAN:
Just shut up and listen, you might learn something for
once. I didn't kill either of your parents, as you so
readily believe. Your Father was a Born Fallen just like
me. He was the first of us to attempt the day walking
ritual and he used your mother as the sacrifice.
GABRIEL:
YOU GOD DAMNED LIAR!
JOHNATHAN:
I don't lie!
GABRIEL:
Get the hell out of my face! He was a noble man betrayed by
someone who he thought was his "Best Friend." You,
Johnathan are the betrayer, and it will never be any
different.
JOHNATHAN:
Oh, but it is, I was there, he brought your mother in and
laid her on the altar. He recited the ancient lines and
the ritual was begun. Your mother was dead shortly after,
which I suppose could be considered a mercy from Nepalese,
the Lord of Death. Either way, he sat and listened to her
screams. Then he went to see if it had worked, it hadn't.
GABRIEL:
Shut your mouth!
GABRIEL BREAKS THE BINDINGS HOLDING HIS ARMS AND UNLEASHES AT JOHNATHAN, HE EASILY DODGES IN GABRIEL'S RAGE HE IS INACCURATE.
JOHNATHAN:
Don't waste your energy Gabriel, you'll need it.
JOHNATHAN PUSHES GABRIEL DOWN AND THEN WALKS OUT OF THE ROOM. THE DOOR IS SHUT AGAIN AND GABRIEL IS LEFT ALONE IN THE DARK.
JOHNATHAN:(OS)
Don't forget my offer Gabriel!
IN THE TOTAL DARKNESS WEEPING CAN BE HEARD.
CUT TO:
THE DOOR TO THE CELL OPENS AND GABRIEL LOOKS UP. HE HAS GROWN SLIGHT STUBBLE SHOWING HE HAS BEEN IN THERE A WHILE.
GABRIEL:
How long have I been in here?
FALLEN 4:
Twenty hours, it's almost dawn, now come on, it's time.
BOTH THE FALLEN COME IN AND PICK HIM UP AS THEY CLOSE THE DOOR AND IT SLAMS SHUT.
FADE OUT.
The Ceremony
FADE IN:
INT-CEREMONY ROOM-NIGHT
GABRIEL IS CARRIED INTO THE ROOM AND SAT DOWN AND CHAINED TO A CHAIR THAT IS FACING TOWARDS THE ALTAR, BEN, AND JOHNATHAN. AROUND THE ALTAR ARE THE MEN THAT MADE THE PENTAGRAM EARLIER.
JOHNATHAN:
The chains are Titanium, it would be useless to try and
break them, so don't even try.
GABRIEL DOESN'T LISTEN AND DOES ANYWAY, HE FINDS THAT WHAT JOHNATHAN IS TRUTHFUL.
JOHNATHAN:
Just trying to save you from extra work.
GABRIEL:
Kiss my a**.
JOHNATHAN:
Feisty aren't we. So be it.
JOHNATHAN SIGNALS TO FALLEN 4 AND HE PLACES THE GAG IN GABRIEL'S MOUTH AGAIN.
JOHNATHAN:
Now you shall see the birth of a new era. The first Day-
walking Born Fallen. I will be a new God!
GABRIEL ROLLS HIS EYES.
JOHNATHAN:
Cut his gag, I want to hear what he has to say this time.
FALLEN 3 REMOVES THE GAG.
GABRIEL:
I'm thinking that you will fail. Walk out into the
sunlight and burn up, and in the process kill a great man.
But do us all a favor by eliminating yourself.
BEN STIRS ON THE ALTAR.
JOHNATHAN:
The sedative is wearing off. Fallen, into your positions.
Someone gag Gabriel again.
GABRIEL:
Don-
THE GAG IS IN HIS MOUTH BEFORE HE CAN FINISH THE STATEMENT.
JOHNATHAN:
Oh Nepalese, Lord of Death. Grant me the powers of your
firstborn, the power to walk in the light and live in the
day. I offer you this Sacrifice in your honor. Hear my
pleas and accept this blood.
SECONDS LATER A DARKNESS FALLS ON THE ROOM AND BEN'S EYE'S OPEN. BLOOD BEGINS TO POOR FROM HIS EYE'S AND EARS. WHEN HE ISN'T TALKING IT COMES FROM HIS MOUTH AND NOSE. THE BLOOD BEGINS TO POOL ON THE FLOOR AND THEN EVAPORATE.
BEN:
Gabe! Help! What are you doing just sitting there, what
the hell is happening!?
GABRIEL CANNOT SPEAK BECAUSE OF THE GAG, HE CLOSES HIS EYES, AND SCREAMS. HE BEGINS TO PULL ON THE CHAINS AGAIN.
BEN:
AHHH! It hurt's so bad!
GABRIEL KEEPS SCREAMING AND TEARS BEGIN FALLING DOWN HIS CHEEKS.
FALLEN 3:
Let's get him out of here, he's becoming a liability!
FALLEN 4 STEPS TO HIS LEFT SIDE AND FALLEN 3 STEPS TO HIS RIGHT, THEY PICK UP THE CHAIR AND BEGIN TO CARRY HIM, THEY CARRY HIM OUT OF THE ROOM AND ARE OUT IN THE HALL WHEN GABRIEL BEGINS TO SCREAM AGAIN.
FALLEN 4:
And what are you doing?
CU: GABRIEL STRETCHES THE CHAINS AND THEY SNAP. GABRIEL REACHES AROUND AND TAKES THE GAG OUT OF HIS MOUTH.
GABRIEL:
Removing your gag.
FALLEN 4 AND 3 DROP THE CHAIR AND GABRIEL LANDS ON HIS FEET.
FALLEN 4:
s***, we have a problem!
BEN CONTINUES TO SCREAM IN THE BACKGROUND. YELLING FOR GABRIEL
GABRIEL:
Damn, right you do. And it's all your "Masters" fault,
he's the one who wanted to make me watch my best friend
dying before my eyes, and I won't deal with it, so if you
value your life, or lack thereof, I advise you to get the
hell out of my way.
GABRIEL TURNS BACKS UP A LITTLE BIT TOWARDS WHERE HIS CELL WAS. HE SEES HIS EQUIPMENT ON THE GROUND
GABRIEL:
(whipsering)
Bingo.
(normal speech)
So you're going to stand in my way. Is it bad that I sort
of wanted that?
GABRIEL REACHES BEHIND HIM AND GRABS HIS CHAIR. HE RIPS OFF ONE OF THE LEGS WITH STRENGTH HE HAS NEVER POSSESSED UNTIL THAT NIGHT. HE SHRUGS. GABRIEL SWINGS THE LEG INTO FALLEN 4'S HEAD HARD AND THEN SPINS AND KICKS THE REMAINS OF THE CHAIR INTO FALLEN 3'S STOMACH. HE FALLS BACK AND LANDS ON THE GROUND. FALLEN 4 STANDS WHILE GABRIEL SPINS BACK AGAIN AND KICKS HIM IN THE HEAD. GABRIEL STRADDLES FALLEN 4 ON THE GROUND AND PUTS ONE HAND ON EACH SIDE OF HIS HEAD. HE PULLS. SECONDS LATER A SNAPPING AND STRETCHING SOUND IS HEARD THEN GABRIEL KICKS THE HEAD AWAY FROM THE BODY.
GABRIEL:
I told you not to stand in my way.
GABRIEL TURNS AND SEES FALLEN 3 PUSHING ASIDE THE CHAIR AND STANDING. GABRIEL POINTS TO THE BODY THEN TO FALLEN 3. FALLEN 3 LOOKS AT HIS COMPANION THEN RUNS OUT THE DOOR.
GABRIEL:
At least he had some sense.
AS HE WALKS BY THE BODY HE KICKS IT. HE MAKES HIS WAY OVER TO HIS STUFF AND PUTS IT ON. BEN'S SCREAMING IS HEARD IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE ENTIRE SCENE AND NEVER STOPS.
JOHNATHAN:
Fallen leave us! How did you get out Gabriel?
GABRIEL:
Next time assign at least mediocre guards, that was
nothing. However, on a more important subject, get the
hell away from him. Now.
JOHNATHAN:
I thought this might happen. Do not make me kill you
Gabriel, my offer is still good.
GABRIEL:
I would rather die, than join you!
JOHNATHAN:
So be it.
JOHNATHAN MOTIONS HIS HAND AND THE MEN AROUND THE ALTAR RUN TOWARDS GABRIEL, GABRIEL FIGHTS HIS WAY THROUGH THEM AS JOHNATHAN WALKS DOWN FROM THE ALTAR (BEN HAS STOPPED STIRRING AND APPEARS TO BE EITHER DEAD OR UNCONSCIOUS. GABRIEL KILLS THE LAST OF THE FOLLOWERS AND DRAWS HIS GUN AS JOHNATHAN GRABS A STAFF DOWN FROM THE WALL. GABRIEL PULLS THE TRIGGER AND HEARS THE CLICKING OF AN EMPTY MAGAZINE. JOHNATHAN LAUGHS.
JOHNATHAN:
You think I didn't have enough oversight to drain your
magazine?
GABRIEL:
A man can dream can't he?
JOHNATHAN:
Not a dead one, as you will be soon.
JOHNATHAN WALKS AROUND THE CIRCULAR ROOM TOWARDS GABRIEL. GABRIEL DRAWS HIS SWORD.
JOHNATHAN:
You know, I completed the ritual, your friend is dead and I
am a Day-walker now.
GABRIEL:
I don't believe it. BEN! WAKE UP! ANSWER ME!
JOHNATHAN:
He isn't going to answer you, he's dead.
JOHNATHAN RUNS AT GABRIEL GABRIEL BLOCKS THE SWING OF THE STAFF WITH HIS SWORD AND PUSHES BACK CAUSING JOHNATHAN TO GO FLYING BACK A LITTLE.
JOHNATHAN:
Strength, when did that come into play?
GABRIEL:
Not sure myself actually, but I love it.
JOHNATHAN RUNS AT GABRIEL AGAIN AND DUCKS UNDER GABRIEL'S SWORD SWING AND USES HIS STAFF TO TRY AND SWEEP GABE'S FEET OUT FROM UNDER HIM BUT GABE JUMPS. HE BRINGS THE HANDLE OF THE SWORD DOWN ON TOP OF JOHNATHAN HEADS. JOHNATHAN FALLS TO THE GROUND IN A HEAP. GABE PREPARES TO CUT OFF JOHNATHAN'S HEAD BUT JOHNATHAN ROLLS AT THE LAST INSTANT AND GABE'S SWORD CLANGS AGAINST THE GROUND.
JOHNATHAN:
You aren't going to get rid of me that easy.
HE JUMPS UP AND RUNS AT GABE HE BLOCKS GABE'S STRIKES WITH HIS STAFF AND IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE OF GABE'S SWINGS HE PULLS THE CENTER OF THE STAFF APART TO APPEAR TO BLADES. HE BLOCKS THE SWING AND FINISHES PULLING THE SWORD APART, CREATING SPARKS.
GABRIEL:
s***.
JOHNATHAN SWINGS ONE OF HIS SWORDS AT GABE'S HEAD, WHICH GABE DUCKS UNDER, THEN FALLS TO THE GROUND AND SLAMS THE SWORD WHERE GABE'S LEGS WOULD HAVE BEEN IF HE HADN'T MOVED. JOHNATHAN ROLLS AWAY FROM THE COUNTER GABRIEL BROUGHT INTO PLAY ONCE AGAIN SLAMMING THE SWORD INTO THE GROUND.
JOHNATHAN:
You know you really should be careful with that thing. You
could poke someone's eye out.
GABRIEL:
Shut up and fight.
(HE RUNS AT JOHNATHAN AND STABS THE SWORD AT HIS
MIDSECTION THEN KICKS HIM IN STOMACH. JOHNATHAN
GOES FLYING INTO A PILLAR AND FALLS TO THE
GROUND IN A KNEELING POSITION. HE LOOKS SPENT.)
Stop holding back!
GABE WALKS OVER TO WHERE JOHNATHAN IS KNEELING HIS HEAD DOWN AND HIS SWORDS AT HIS SIDES. GABE PREPARES TO CHOP OF JOHNATHAN'S HEAD AND AS HE SWINGS THE SWORD JOHNATHAN BENDS HIS HEAD WITH THE FLOW OF THE SWORD AND JUMPS UP. GABRIEL BRINGS THE SWORD BACK AND SLICES THROUGH JOHNATHAN'S RIGHT ARM BUT IS STOPPED BY THE BLOCK OF JOHNATHAN'S LEFT ARM BEFORE HE CAN REACH JOHNATHAN'S TORSO. JOHNATHAN SWINGS THE SWORD IN HIS LEFT HAND AND BRINGS THE HANDLE DOWN ON GABRIEL'S HEAD. HE THEN KICKS INTO GABE'S LEGS AND SENDS HIM SPRAWLING ON THE FLOOR.
JOHNATHAN:
I was really hoping it wouldn't come to this, but it looks
like I was wrong. Goodbye old friend.
GABRIEL:
WAIT!
JOHNATHAN:
(stops in the middle of bringing down his sword)
What is it?
GABRIEL:
I'll join you.
HE HANGS HIS HEAD IN SHAME.
JOHNATHAN:
Good, that is what I was hoping you were going to say.
GABRIEL:
Oh and you forgot one thing.
JOHNATHAN:
Yes?
GABRIEL:
(mumbling)
Fire.
JOHNATHAN:
(leans closer)
What was that?
GABRIEL PULLS OUT A SMALL CANISTER ON WHICH THE CAP IS ALREADY OPEN. HE SPRAYS IT ALL OVER JOHNATHAN THEN GABE ROLLS AWAY FROM THE SWORD SWING.
GABRIEL:
Ben didn't get drained all the way.
JOHNATHAN TURN TO SEE BEN STANDING BEHIND HIM LEANING AGAINST A PILLAR, HE IS HOLDING A LIGHTER IN HIS RIGHT HAND AND HE THROWS IT AT JOHNATHAN IT HITS HIM AND THE GAS GABE JUST POURED ALL OVER HIM CATCHES INSTANTLY. JOHNATHAN SCREAMS AND RUNS OUT OF THE ROOM THE SCREAMS CARRY ON FOR THE DURATION OF THE SCENE, GETTING FAINTER.
BEN:
I-I'm sorry Gabe.
GABRIEL:
No, don't talk.
GABRIEL RUSHES OVER AND CATCHES BEN AS HE FALLS FROM HIS SPOT LEANING AGAINST THE PILLAR.
GABRIEL:
I should have listened to you, and I didn't. This is all
my fault.
BEN:
Where's Lisa?
GABRIEL:
I haven't seen her since she caught me.
BEN:
Okay, watch out for her, promise me that you will watch out
for her Gabriel!
GABRIEL:
I promise.
BEN:
Good now promise me one more thing.
GABRIEL:
And that would be?
BEN:
Hunt down and destroy Johnathan. After I'm gone you will
be the Last of the Hunters. The fire didn't kill him, it
only weakened him, as I'm sure you figured out by now. You
must find him and destroy him. He is a Day-Walking, Born
Fallen now Gabriel, think about the power behind that.
Born Fallen have 20 time's the strength of a normal
Fallen. And he can now feed and walk in the light. You
must stop him Gabe!
BEN BEGINS TO COUGH.
GABRIEL:
You're going to be alright man. Just hold on.
GABRIEL BRINGS THE RING OUT OF HIS POCKET AND IS ABOUT TO SET IT ON BEN'S FINGER WHEN HE CLOSES HIS HAND INTO A FIST.
BEN:
It is your's now, Gabe. Use it wisely. You are the last
hope for Man-Kind now.
BEN SPITS UP SOME BLOOD ON GABRIEL'S FACE. THEN HIS HAND'S DROP AND HIS EYE'S BLANK OVER. GABRIEL REACHES OVER AND CLOSES THEM. HE LIFTS UP THE BODY AND CARRIES IT.
EXT-CEMETERY-DAY
AS HE STEPS OUTSIDE THE BODY IN HIS ARMS TURNS TO ASH AND FALLS APART IN HIS ARMS. GABRIEL SCREAMS.
GABRIEL:
NOOOOOOO!
GABRIEL REACHES INTO HIS POCKET AND PULLS OUT THE RING OF HIS FALLEN MASTER LOOKS AT IT, THEN SLIDES IT BACK INTO HIS POCKET.
GABRIEL:
The Hunter's are no more.
HE BEGINS TO CRY THE TEARS SLIDE DOWN HIS FACE AND FALL TO THE GROUND. HE LOOKS BACK DOWN THE STAIRS. HE STARTS TO WALK DOWN THEM, THEN TURNS AND LEAVES.
FADE OUT.
The Choice
INT-APARTMENT-DAY
THE DOOR OPENS AND GABRIEL WALKS IN, HE PLACES THE KEY UNDER THE DOORMAT. INSIDE THE ROOM IS A SMALL T.V. A COUCH AND THE OTHER WALL IS FILLED WITH HIS WEAPONS. HE IS WEARING NORMAL CLOTHES, NO TRENCHCOAT NOTHING. HE WALKS OVER TO THE PHONE AND PRESSES THE BUTTON ON THE BASE THAT PLAYS RECORDINGS.
RECORDING:
You have one new Message. Friday 8 p.m.
EMPLOYER:(V.O.)
Gabe, where were you yesterday? You never showed up for
work. I had to work open to close because of your lazy
a**. Your fired!
HE REACHES DOWN AND CUTS OFF THE RECORDING.
GABRIEL:
Yeah, well I think I earned it.
HE WALKS INTO THE SMALL KITCHEN AND PULLS OUT A POT.
CUT TO:
EXT-APARTMENT-NIGHT
GABRIEL OPENS THE DOOR AND STEPS OUT HE IS STILL WEARING THE SAME CLOTHING. HE WALKS DOWN THE STEPS AND OUT OF THE SMALL COMPLEX, SHOW SOME FOOTAGE OF HIM WALKING DOWN THE STREET, EDITED TOGETHER TO LOOK GOOD.
CUT TO:
EXT-GAS STATION-NIGHT
HE STOPS IN A GAS STATION AND PICKS UP A MAGAZINE HE COMES BACK OUT AND IS HOLDING IT ROLLED UP IN HIS RIGHT HAND. HE HEARS SOMEONE SCREAMING BEHIND THE STATION AND GOES TO INVESTIGATE. AS HE ROUNDS THE CORNER HE SEES SOMEONE PINNED UP AGAINST THE WALL BY AN ATTACKER, IT BECOMES OBVIOUSLY A FEW SECONDS LATER THAT IT IS A FALLEN, IT BITES DOWN ON THE MANS NECK. GABRIEL SHRUGS THEN WALKS BACK AROUND THE STATION. HE HEADS BACK TOWARDS HIS APARTMENT.
CUT TO:
INT-JOHNATHAN'S CRYPT-NIGHT
JOHNATHAN IS SITTING IN A CHAIR BY THE WALL. LISA IS SITTING ACROSS FROM HIM.
JOHNATHAN:
I can't keep going like this, I need something, a
challenge. It's all missing without Gabriel in the game.
LISA:
However, the death rate for Fallen recently has gone down
to a near minimal percentage. The Human's are ours for the
Hunting.
JOHNATHAN SMILES, HE STANDS AND BEGINS TO WALK AROUND THE ROOM. HE STANDS BEHIND LISA AND PUTS HIS HANDS ON HIS SHOULDERS. SHE CRINGES.
JOHNATHAN:
Are you, Lisa, questioning my authority?
LISA:
No, Master, I would never do that.
JOHNATHAN:
Good, because I wouldn't want to have to kill you, your too
useful. Now, since we have that settled, I will be going
to see Gabriel tomorrow. And I hope you don't have any
problems with that, do you Lisa?
LISA:
No, Master, none.
JOHNATHAN:
Good, then head back, to your nest, get some sleep, I want
to see you tonight.
LISA:
I will be here after nightfall, Master.
JOHNATHAN:
Of course, now I want you out of my room.
LISA:
Yes, Master.
JOHNATHAN:
GO!
HE HISSES AT HER AND SHE GETS UP AND SHE RUNS OUT OF THE ROOM. JOHNATHAN BEGINS TO LAUGH.
JOHNATHAN:
I will have Gabriel's head.
CUT TO:
INT-APARTMENT-DAY
THERE IS KNOCKING AT THE DOOR AND GABRIEL GETS UP TO GO CHECK IT OUT. HE OPENS THE DOOR AND SEES SOMETHING HE FEARED. JOHNATHAN IS STANDING IN THE DOORWAY.
JOHNATHAN:
So, this is where you've been staying. I'm surprised you
didn't sense me coming.
GABRIEL:
I gave up that power when I gave up my mantle as the Last
of the Hunters.
JOHNATHAN:
So the reports are true, you have given up. Well then I
guess I have no business here anymore. Unless you would
like to take me up in my offer. It's still good you know?
GABRIEL:
Screw you Day-Walker.
AND HE SLAMS THE DOOR. AND TAKES A DRINK FROM A FLASK HE PULLS OUT OF HIS POCKET. YOU GET ENOUGH OF HIS REACTION TO SEE THAT THERE IS ALCOHOL INSIDE OF IT.
CUT TO:
EXT-APARTMENT-NIGHT
GABRIEL LEAVES THE APARTMENT, LIKE HE HAD DONE THE NIGHT BEFORE. HE WALKS DOWN THE STEPS AND HEARS A SCREAM AGAIN. HE GOES TO INVESTIGATE, HE WALKS INTO AN ALLEY BETWEEN TWO OF THE COMPLEX'S AND SEES LISA FEEDING ON A HUMAN. GABRIEL BEGINS TO WALK AWAY THEN STOPS.
BEN:(V.O.)
After I am gone you will be the Last of the Hunters...Find
and Destroy Johnathan...Born Fallen have 20 times the
strength of a normal Fallen...
THEN TURNS BACK AND REACHES INTO HIS POCKET. HE PULLS HIS HAND BACK OUT AND LOOKS AT THE RING FOR A FEW SECONDS. THEN HE SLIPS IT ON.
GABRIEL:
Get the hell away from him Lisa.
LISA:
Or you'll do what, you aren't a Hunter anymore.
GABRIEL HOLDS UP HIS LEFT HAND, THE ONE WITH THE RING ON IT.
LISA:
s***.
LISA TRIES TO RUN AWAY BUT GABRIEL IS FASTER. HE CATCHES HER AND KNOCKS HER TO THE GROUND. HE STRADDLES HER AND HE PULLS THE FLASK FROM HIS POCKET AND POOR'S IT OVER HER BODY. SHE BEGINS TO COUGH.
LISA:
Alcoh-
THEN PUTS THE FLASK IN HER OPEN MOUTH. HE USES HIS FREE HAND TO REACH BACK INTO HIS POCKET AND HE PULLS OUT A LIGHTER. HE JUMPS UP AND THROWS IT ONTO HER BODY. LIGHT FILLS THE ALLEY AND GABRIEL'S FACE IS LIT BY THE FIRE OF HIS FALLEN ENEMY. SHE BEGINS TO SCREAM. GABRIEL SPITS ON THE BODY. HE RUNS AROUND THE CORNER. THERE IS A TIME LAPSE AND HE COMES BACK WEARING HIS GEAR. HE SLIDES THE SWORD OUT OF THE SHEATH. LISA IS STILL THERE. BUT SHE HAS RECOVERED FROM THE FLAMES AND IS SLOWLY GETTING OFF THE GROUND. GABRIEL SEES HER AND PREPARES. SHE GETS INTO A KNEELING POSITION AND GABRIEL STARTS TO RUN FOR HER. SHE SCREAMS AND IT IS CUT OFF SHORT AS GABRIEL'S SWORD SLIDES THROUGH HER NECK SEVERING HER HEAD FROM HER BODY.
GABRIEL:
I'm back b**ch.
FADE OUT.
The Last of the Hunters
INT-APARTMENT-NIGHT
GABRIEL IS WEARING HIS GEAR. HE OPENS THE DOOR AND WALKS OUT. AS HE PASSES THE OFFICE FOR THE APARTMENTS HE SETS THE KEY TO HIS APARTMENT ON FLOOR MAT. HE GETS IN HIS CAR AND DRIVES AWAY.
EXT-WAREHOUSE-NIGHT
HE DRIVES UP TO THE WAREHOUSE AND GETS OUT, HE WALKS UP TO THE KEYPAD AND PUNCHES IN THE NUMBERS. HE WALKS IN. SIX FALLEN ARE IN THE ROOM. HE GRABS A CONTAINER FROM HIS TRENCHCOAT POCKET AND THROWS IT INTO THE ROOM. THE FALLEN LOOK AT IT.HE TURNS AWAY AND COVERS HIS EYES. THEN BRIGHT LIGHT FILLS THE ROOM AND WHEN IT IS RESTORED, THE FALLEN ARE ONLY PILES OF ASH. HE WALKS INTO THE ROOM AND STEPS ON SOME OF THE ASH. HE MAKES HIS WAY INTO BEN'S OLD ROOM AND FLIPS PULLS ON A SMALL CANDLE ON THE WALL (IT IS UNLIT). THE WALL SPINS OPEN AND REVEALS A SMALL ARMORY. GABRIEL WALKS IN AND GRABS A M16 AND 2 MP5'S. HE ALSO GRABS ANOTHER CLIP FOR HIS PISTOL AND SLIDES IT INTO PLACE AND PUTS THE OLD ONE BACK IN HIS HOLSTER. HE GRABS A DUFFLE BAG AND PUTS A SMALL EXPLOSIVE IN IT. HE THEN PLACES THE GUN'S ON TOP AND ZIP'S IT CLOSED. HE STANDS AND WALKS OUT OF THE ROOM.
CUT TO:
EXT-PARK-DAY
GABRIEL PULLS UP TO THE PARKING LOT IN HIS CAR GETS OUT AND WALKS THROUGH THE PARK. HE REACHES THE CHILDREN'S PLAY AREA AND STANDS LISTENING. HE DRAWS HIS SWORD AND TURNS AROUND, NOTHING, HE TURNS BACK AND JOHNATHAN IS ON TOP OF THE PLAY PLACE. HE JUMPS DOWN AND IT ALMOST SEEMS AS IF HE FLIES FOR A SECOND.
JOHNATHAN:
Good, your sleuthing abilities haven't failed you yet!
GABRIEL:
Shut your mouth.
JOHNATHAN:
Feisty aren't we? Follow me! We can't very well do our
business with all of these people around, now can we?
JOHNATHAN WALKS AWAY FROM GABRIEL, GABRIEL FOLLOWS CLOSE BEHIND, BUT NOT CLOSE ENOUGH THAT HE COULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH JOHNATHAN. THEY PASS THE PEOPLE ON THE TENNIS COURTS AND SUCH. GABRIEL WALKS UP AND BEGINS TO WALK NEXT TO JOHNATHAN.
GABRIEL:
Where the hell are you taking me?
JOHNATHAN:
To a secluded location. Away from all of these innocent
bystanders, I'm sure you can sympathize with that.
GABRIEL:
You don't care for their lives, so don't even try to act
like you do. You freak of nature.
JOHNATHAN STOPS AND GABRIEL WALKS FOR A SECOND BEFORE REALIZING HE STOPPED. GABE COMES BACK AND LOOKS AT JOHNATHAN, THERE IS HATE IN HIS EYES. JOHNATHAN SWINGS A HAND OUT AND GABRIEL BLOCKS IT WITH CONSIDERABLE EFFORT. JOHNATHAN BRINGS HIS OTHER HAND AROUND AND HITS GABE IN THE SIDE. GABRIEL GOES FLYING THROUGH THE AIR AND INTO A TREE. GABE STANDS AND RUNS AT JOHNATHAN. HE STOPS SHORT AND DUCKS AND JOHNATHAN'S PUNCH EXTENDS ABOVE HIS HEAD. GABE REACHES UP AND GRABS THE HAND, THEN COMES UP WITH EXTREME SPEED. THE BONE BREAKS UNDER GABE'S SHOULDER. JOHNATHAN SCREAMS. GABRIEL LETS GO OF THE USELESS ARM AND PUTS BOTH HANDS INTO A FIST AND SWINGS THEM INTO THE SIDE OF JOHNATHAN'S FACE. JOHNATHAN STUMBLES BACK ONTO THE FENCE AND GABRIEL KICKS HIM IN THE STOMACH THEN TURNS AND RUNS. JOHNATHAN GETS UP AND RUNS AFTER HIM. THEY REACH A STAND OF TREES AND AS GABRIEL RUNS THROUGH A LINE IS PULLED UP AND GABRIEL TRIPS ONTO THE GROUND. MEN COME FROM THE SIDES OF THE PATH AND BEGIN TO WRAP HIM UP. JOHNATHAN COMES WALKING UP.
JOHNATHAN:
You know, you should really work on that?
GABRIEL:
Scre-
ONE OF THE MEN PUTS A DISHRAG WITH AMMONIA OVER GABE'S MOUTH. HE MUMBLES FOR A SECOND THEN PASSES OUT. THE MEN GET ON THE SIDES AND LIFT HIM UP AND CARRY HIM, GABRIEL IS WRAPPED IN THE CHAINS. THE MEN WALK INTO THE LIGHT AND IT BECOMES OBVIOUS THAT THEY ARE NOT FALLEN. THEY CARRY HIM OUTSIDE AND INTO THE TRUNK OF A CAR. THEY DRIVE OFF.
INT-LARGE WAREHOUSE-NIGHT
GABRIEL WAKES UP IN A CHAIR, HIS HEAD HAS BEEN RESTING ON HIS CHEST. HE LIFTS IT AND IT CRACKS WITH EACH CENTIMETER IT COMES UP.
GABRIEL:
JOHNATHAN!
GABRIEL GETS ANGRY AND BEGINS TO PULL ON THE CHAINS.
JOHNATHAN:
Don't get yourself into an uproar. I'm right here.
GABRIEL:
Where am I? And what the hell did you do to me?
JOHNATHAN:
Were someplace safe, and I didn't do anything to you. You
just slept wrong.
GABRIEL:
Why did you bring me here? You could have done what you
needed elsewhere.
JOHNATHAN:
No I couldn't. You don't seem to understand. I need you
Gabriel, and if you won't join me in life, then you will
join me in death!
GABRIEL:
You can't bite me after I'm dead, and biting me now won't
do anything anyway. I'm already part Fallen you should
know that better than anyone else.
JOHNATHAN:
But if I take your soul, then I will be able to put you
wherever I want you. Then let's see how well your body
fights back against the Fallen genes. I doubt if it will
last a minute.
GABRIEL:
Only one problem I see with that plan.
JOHNATHAN:
And that is?
GABRIEL:
How in the Hell do you plan on taking my soul?
JOHNATHAN:
You've obviously never encountered a psychic Fallen
before. They feed off of the soul of others. They have
none themselves. Just as I have no white blood cells. I
steal them from my prey just as they steals the souls of
theirs. For some time the soul takes control of the body
before anything else can be done. However, in order for
the soul to be taken it must first leave the body. In
other words you, my brother, have to die first.
GABRIEL:
I am not your Brother!
JOHNATHAN:
But we are very much alike are we not Gabriel?
GABRIEL:
I am nothing like you, Johnathan! NOTHING!
JOHNATHAN:
I HATE IT WHEN YOU CALL ME THAT!
JOHNATHAN PULLS GABRIEL'S SOCOM PISTOL FROM HIS BACK AND RUNS UP TO GABRIEL HE HOLDS THE GUN TO GABE'S HEAD.
JOHNATHAN:
I need you dead this time. I will not hesitate to kill
you. Do not tempt me.
GABRIEL:
Well, where is this Fallen?
JOHNATHAN PUTS DOWN THE GUN.
JOHNATHAN:
(shouts off screen)
Bring him in!
A FALLEN COMES IN PUSHING A WHEELCHAIR, IN THE CHAIR IS AN MAN. IT BECOMES PAINFULLY OBVIOUS THAT THE MAN IS ON HIS LAST LEGS OF LIFE. IF HE DOESN'T FEED SOON HE WILL BE NO MORE.
GABRIEL:
Well he's a sickly one isn't he?
JOHNATHAN:
Leave.
THE FALLEN WALKS OUT OF THE ROOM.
JOHNATHAN:
Okay, you two play nice now.
JOHNATHAN GETS UP AND WALKS OUT OF THE ROOM. HE LEAVES THE SOCOM PISTOL ON THE BENCH.
GABRIEL:
And how do you expect to get me to kill myself? Bore me to
death?
THE FALLEN IN THE CHAIR LOOKS UP AND SMILES. ZOOM IN ON THE EYES OF THE FALLEN.
CUT TO:
THE TRUTH
INT-CEREMONY ROOM-BEFORE DAWN
A MAN COMES IN FROM THE ENTRANCE CARRYING A WOMAN IN FRONT OF HIM. JOHNATHAN IS ONE OF THE MEN IN A HOODED ROBES AROUND THE ALTAR. THE MAN LAYS THE WOMAN ONTO THE ALTAR AND BEGINS TO RECITE THE WORDS THAT JOHNATHAN SPOKE EARLIER. THE MEN IN THE ROBES BEGIN TO RAISE THEIR HANDS AND CHANT SOMETHING SOFTLY GABRIEL COMES THROUGH THE WALL BEHIND THEM AND THE MAN IN THE WHEELCHAIR COMES WITH HIM.
GABRIEL:
No, this is a lie, it's all a lie!
PSYCHIC FALLEN:(V.O.)
But it isn't Gabriel. This is all real. I cannot create
things that never happened. I feed off of the memories of
others and make them into a reality. What you are seeing
is exactly as it happened.
BLOOD BEGINS TO FLOW FROM HER BODY AS IT DID FROM BEN'S AND GABRIEL'S FATHER GOES INTO A TRANCE LIKE STATE AND THEN EVERYTHING FREEZES, GABRIEL CONTINUES TO WALK AROUND THE ROOM.
GABRIEL:
It can't be true, my Father he was a good man! He would
never have sacrificed my Mother's life to better his own.
PSYCHIC FALLEN:(V.O.)
But your Father was eager for power, for the ability to be
a god among men. And you were the result of that Gabriel.
Look and see for yourself.
THE SCENE WASHES OVER AND IT
CUT TO:
INT-OFFICE-NIGHT
BECOMES A SMALL ROOM WITH A DESK INSIDE. A FALLEN IN A SUIT IS SITTING ON ONE SIDE THE FACE OF THE DOCTOR CANNOT BE SEEN, GABRIEL'S FATHER IS SITTING ON THE OTHER SIDE. GABRIEL AND THE WHEELCHAIR GUY COME OUT OF THE WALL AGAIN.
GABRIEL'S FATHER:
Doctor, I need to ask you a favor.
(he reaches into his desk and pulls out a
briefcase, he sets it on the desk)
I need you to take a sample of my blood and need to feed.
(he opens the case and pulls out a vial)
I want you to add this blood into the mix also. Make a
clone of me Doctor.
(the doctor opens his mouth)
I will give you all the funding you need.
HE FLIPS THE BRIEF CASE AROUND AND YOU SEE A LOT OF MONEY
DOCTOR:
Where is the extra vial of blood from, Michael?
MICHAEL:
My late wife's as it was being taken by Nepalese. It is
the blood of The Lord of Death.
DOCTOR:
Are you sure that's safe?
MICHAEL:
We'll just figure that out won't we?
THE DOCTOR REACHES OUT AND TAKES THE VIAL THE RING OF THE HUNTERS IS ON HIS FINGER. THE CAMERA PANS AROUND QUICKLY AND SHOWS BEN SITTING IN THE CHAIR, IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE CAMERA GABRIEL FALLS TO HIS KNEES ON THE GROUND.
GABRIEL:
This is a Lie. This can't be real!
PSYCHIC FALLEN:
But it isn't a lie. Watch.
THE SCENE WASHES OUT AGAIN
CUT TO:
EXT-CEMETERY-NIGHT
GABRIEL AND THE PSYCHIC FALLEN COME OUT FROM BEHIND A TREE. MICHAEL IS STANDING WITH BEN ON THE PATH. MICHAEL HANDS THE BABY OVER TO BEN AND BEN TAKES IT WILLINGLY
MICHAEL:
Take care of my child, Doctor.
BEN:
I will, Michael. Be careful.
MICHAEL:
I'll be as careful as I can be. Now go, get out of here
before they return.
BEN WALKS OFF SCREEN AND JOHNATHAN COMES ON FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION HE IS FOLLOWED BY SOME LESSER FALLEN.
JOHNATHAN:
Where is the Child, the Conqueror?
MICHAEL:
He's gone. I sent him off. He is safe now, you can kill
me all you want, but you will never have the Child.
JOHNATHAN:
Killing would be a mercy for what I will put you through.
HE SNAPS HIS FINGERS AND THE FALLEN COME AROUND AND GRAB MICHAEL.
MICHAEL:
You will be destroyed for this. You know that right?
JOHNATHAN:
No, I'm afraid I won't.
DAWNING HORROR APPEARS ON MICHAEL'S FACE.
MICHAEL:
What are you talking about? This is an act of treason
against the Fallen Nation!
JOHNATHAN:
You have been overthrown by your peers Michael. You have
been found Incompetent.
THE WORLD WASHES OVER AGAIN
CUT TO:
INT-LARGE WAREHOUSE-NIGHT
GABRIEL AND THE PSYCHIC FALLEN ARE NOW BACK WHERE THEY STARTED. GABRIEL HAS BEGUN TO SOB.
PSYCHIC FALLEN:(V.O.)
Now you see, you aren't even partially human. You are the
Lord of Death. You were made to destroy. Your own mentor
only took you in because he was forced to. You weren't
loved by anyone. You were a burden to your Master, nothing
more.
GABRIEL REACHES FOR THE GUN.
GABRIEL:
Your right, I was a burden, nothing more. I should just
end it now, then I won't be a Burden to anyone else.
Everyone would be happy without me here.
HE GRABS THE GUN AND PUTS IT TO HIS HEAD. HE PUTS HIS FINGER ON THE TRIGGER.
PSYCHIC FALLEN:(V.O.)
That's right. Without you, the world will be a better
place for everyone else. Just end it now Gabriel. Don't
let yourself cause anymore problems than you already have.
GABRIEL'S FINGER BEGINS TO TIGHTEN ON THE TRIGGER. HE IS SHOWING VISIBLE SIGNS OF FIGHTING BACK, SWEAT IS POPPING OUT ON HIS FACE, HE IS WEEPING. YOU CAN TELL HE DOESN'T WANT TO DO THIS BUT KNOWS IT WILL BE BETTER FOR EVERYONE.
GABRIEL:
I just have to pull this trigger and it will be all over.
Just the slight squeeze and the round will release through
my head and my brains will splatter against the walls over
there.
(he points vaguely)
But you know what the most ironic thing is?
PSYCHIC FALLEN:(V.O.)
What is that?
GABRIEL:
I one day I run into a psychic Fallen I load my clip with
Exploding shells.
HE BRINGS THE GUN AROUND AND POINTS IT AT THE FALLEN. HE JUMPS IN HIS CHAIR. GABRIEL WINKS AND FIRES THE GUN. IT LODGES INTO HIS BRAIN AND AS IT STARTS TO FORCE IT'S WAY OUT IT EXPLODES IN HIS HEAD. BLOOD SPLATTERS AGAINST THE WALL.
GABRIEL:
Too bad. I will always be a Hunter. And nothing you can
show me will ever change that, it just empowers me.
HE STANDS SHOOTS THE CHAIN HOLDING THE ANKLE-CUFF'S TOGETHER AND WALKS TO THE DOOR. HE TRIES IT AND IT'S LOCKED. HE STANDS BACK AND BRINGS UP THE GUN.
CUT TO:
INT-HALLWAY OUTSIDE OF CELL-NIGHT
THE DOOR GOES FLYING INTO THE WALL AND HE WALKS OUT, HE SEES A GUARD ROOM AT THE END OF THE HALLWAY. THE TWO GUARDS HAVE HEARD THE EXPLOSIONS AND STAND TO INVESTIGATE, THEY GET OUT JUST IN TIME TO SEE GABRIEL ROUND THE CORNER AND FIRE A BULLET INTO EACH OF THEIR HEADS. THE EXPLOSIVE ROUNDS DETONATE A SECOND LATER. GABRIEL WALKS UP TO THE GUARD ROOM AND KICKS IN THE REST OF THE GLASS, HE THEN JUMPS THROUGH IT AND INTO THE ROOM. HE SEES HIS ALL OF HIS GEAR, EXCEPT HIS SWORD, IN THE GUARD HOUSE. HE OPENS IT AND FINDS THAT THE BOMB AND EVERYTHING ARE STILL THERE. HE REMOVES THE WEAPONS FROM THE DUFFEL AND ARMS THE EXPLOSIVE, HE STANDS AND QUICKLY LOOKS AT THE MONITORS, HE SPOTS JOHNATHAN ON WHEN OF THEM, TAPS IT, AND THEN WALKS OUTSIDE, ONCE OUTSIDE YOU SEE A FLASH LIGHT UP THE ROOM AND HE TURNS AS THE DOOR GOES FLYING DOWN THE HALLWAY INTO THE FIRST WAVE OF FALLEN.
FADE OUT.
VARIOUS LOCATIONS INSIDE THE WAREHOUSE
GABRIEL FIGHTS HIS WAY TO JOHNATHAN'S LOCATION. WHEN HE REACHES JOHNATHAN'S DOOR HE SEES HIS SWORD STUCK IN IT. HE GRABS IT AND WALKS THROUGH.
The Final Battle
INT-JOHNATHAN'S ROOM-NIGHT
JOHNATHAN IS STANDING IN THE CENTER OF HIS ROOM, A BED IS PLACED AT ONE POINT, AND A DESK AND CHAIR. HE STANDS HOLDING HIS SWORDS AND GABRIEL WALKS IN, THEY BEGIN TO CIRCLE EACH OTHER. GABRIEL TAPS HIMSELF ON THE SHOULDER WITH THE SWORD. JOHNATHAN LAUGHS AND GRINS.
JOHNATHAN:
I see you made it past the Psychic Fallen.
GABRIEL:
Wasn't much of a challenge, but he did, shall we say
"Enlighten" me to a number of things. I know why you want-
no why you need me, Johnathan. I know I'm the
reincarnation of Nepalese.
JOHNATHAN:
Damn Fallen, never know when to shut up.
GABRIEL:
If it makes you feel any better, he almost got me to kill
myself.
JOHNATHAN:
Really?
GABRIEL:
No. No, he didn't
GABRIEL RUNS AT JOHNATHAN AND A FIGHT ENSUES. HE SWINGS HIS SWORD AND IT MISSES NARROWLY. JOHNATHAN COMES AROUND AND SWINGS ONE OF HIS SWORDS AT GABRIEL'S BACK, GABE MOVES HIS SWORD TO BLOCK HIS BACK AND BLOCKS THE ATTACK. GABE SPINS AND KICKS JOHNATHAN IN THE STOMACH. JOHNATHAN SLAMS INTO A PILLAR ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE ROOM. HE DENTS IT. JOHNATHAN PUSHES OFF OF THE PILLAR AND LANDS NEXT TO GABE, INSTANTLY THEY GO AT IT AGAIN, BLOCKING AND DODGING. EVENTUALLY GABE AND JOHNATHAN GET INTO A STAND STILL WHERE NEITHER CAN FIGHT. THEY HAVE THEIR BACKS TO EACH OTHER AND IF ONE TURNS THE WRONG WAY THEN THE ARE DEAD.
GABRIEL:
I will NOT lose this time!
JOHNATHAN:
You'll lose one way or another. The clean and easy way or
the painful way, it's your choice.
GABRIEL:
I'll never be your lap dog.
GABRIEL CLOSES HIS EYES AND THE CAMERA PANS AROUND BETWEEN HIM AND JOHNATHAN, JOHNATHAN HAS A GRIN THAT MAKES HIM LOOK NEAR INSANE. GABE OPENS HIS EYES AND PUSHES OFF FROM JOHNATHAN. HE BRINGS UP HIS LEG AND SENDS JOHNATHAN SPRAWLING ONTO THE BED. GABE RUNS AFTER HIM AND JUMPS ONTO THE BED, HE SLAMS THE BLADE THROUGH HIS CHEST AND THROUGH THE BED. JOHNATHAN DROPS HIS SWORDS FOR A SECOND AS GABE TRIES TO PULL THE BLADE OUT OF THE BEDDING. HE PUSHES GABE HARD, AND GABE GOES FLYING. JOHN GRABS THE SWORDS AND RUNS AT GABE. GABE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND THEN BEGINS TO FIGHT AGAIN. BACK AND FORTH, IT SEEMS AS IF BOTH ARE EVENLY MATCHED AGAINST EACH OTHER. FINALLY, GABE SPINS AROUND AND GOES LOW, HE SLICES OFF JOHNATHAN'S LEG. JOHNATHAN FALLS TO THE GROUND, THE LEG STILL STANDING FOR A SECOND, THEN FALLING TO THE GROUND. JOHN LAYS ON THE GROUND GABE WALKS UP TO HIM AND RAISES HIS SWORD.
JOHNATHAN:
I seem to have lost, Brother.
GABRIEL:
I'm not your Brother.
GABRIEL BRINGS THE SWORD DOWN. BLOOD SPLATTERS AND THE CREDITS BEGIN TO RUN.
Any questions, comments, or rude remarks?
New Script-The War of the Fallen
Moderators: Admin, Moderator Team
Yes, ive read most of it now,i had to skip some.. it's too late right now to read the whole thing. It is an interesting story, personally i think you get thrown into the action a little to quick. But that's just me. 
No hard feelings but the part where Jonathan hisses at the sun kind of makes me laugh. It reminds me of those old Count Yorga movies with Christoper Lee. Have you taught of a look for the fallens? make up? stuff like that..

Superheroes and evil twins go together like peanut butter and......evil peanut butter!
Yeah, I thought that too but wanted to wait for some more opinions (cast is reading it currently) before I went through and added more scenes to give a little more back story, which I will now do.LucII wrote:It is an interesting story, personally i think you get thrown into the action a little to quick.

Actually, thank you for noticing that. That was put in as a sort of tribute to those old films, just to show that we still appreciate them.LucII wrote:No hard feelings but the part where Jonathan hisses at the sun kind of makes me laugh.

Yes I have, the Fallen will not be pale, they will look as if they are actually blood fat (especially Johnathan as he feeds ALOT) in mythology it was said that the vampires did not look pale but instead looked more red, especially their lips. I'm going to buy some dental caps to give them the "vampire teeth look" and will be investing in some colored contacts soon (yellow). The main character Gabriel will use a socom pistol, a black cloth trenchcoat, a black button up shirt, and black dress pants. He of course has the knifes on his legs and on the small of his back. His sword is in a sheath blade style (on his back, for easy access).
