The three <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m gallop <strong>of</strong>f in three directions.<br />

When <strong>the</strong>y clear <strong>the</strong> frame <strong>the</strong>re is a sound <strong>of</strong> deep rumbling, <strong>the</strong> sound<br />

we heard before Jonathan Masbath was murdered.<br />

INT. KILLIAN'S HOME, KITCHEN -- NIGHT<br />

Small home. Killian, Thomas <strong>and</strong> BETH, Killian's wife, have finished<br />

supper. Beth clears plates as Killian picks his teeth with a knife.<br />

The same rumbling sound is faintly heard.<br />

The glasses on <strong>the</strong> table shiver audibly. Killian notices. Then <strong>the</strong><br />

phenomenon stops. Killian continues picking his teeth.<br />

Thomas gets down from his chair. He goes to <strong>the</strong> fireplace to light a<br />

tallow wick, which he takes to <strong>the</strong> next room.<br />

INT. KILLIAN'S HOME, WHITE ROOM -- NIGHT<br />

Thomas plops on <strong>the</strong> floor <strong>and</strong> lights his MAGIC LANTERN: a lantern with<br />

an outer sleeve <strong>of</strong> glass painted with SILHOUETTES <strong>of</strong> LIONS <strong>and</strong><br />

MONSTERS.<br />

Thomas turns <strong>the</strong> lantern <strong>and</strong> looks to <strong>the</strong> walls where <strong>the</strong> creatures'<br />

SHADOWS are cast.<br />

He roars for <strong>the</strong>m, imagining <strong>the</strong>m real <strong>and</strong> having a gr<strong>and</strong> time.<br />

INT. KILLIAN'S HOME, KITCHEN -- NIGHT<br />

Beth comes for dishes.<br />

BETH<br />

Don't pick teeth. You teach Thomas<br />

bad habits.<br />

Killian pulls her to him, playful.<br />

KILLIAN<br />

I am a bad habit. There's nothing<br />

for it.<br />

BETH<br />

(kisses him)<br />

Oh, isn't <strong>the</strong>re.<br />

EXT. FOREST -- NIGHT<br />

A black horse runs, hooves pounding <strong>the</strong> ground.<br />

THUNDER is HEARD. The horse stops... it is Brom's horse, with Brom<br />

riding. Brom looks skyward.<br />

All around, <strong>the</strong> WIND HALTS. A DEAD SILENCE falls. Distant HOOFBEATS<br />

can be HEARD.<br />

Brom takes his long rifle from his shoulder, rides...<br />

INT. KILLIAN'S HOME, KITCHEN -- NIGHT<br />

Behind Killian, MANTELPIECE STONES pulse, breathing. Demonic faces<br />

form, <strong>the</strong>n disappear. WIND HOWLS.<br />

INT. KILLIAN'S HOME, WHITE ROOM -- NIGHT<br />

Thomas continues his fun, shadow animals circling him. Beth enters,<br />

looking at Thomas, smiling.<br />

The magic lantern suddenly stops spinning. Shadow creatures freeze.<br />

Beth looks up, noticing <strong>the</strong> FEROCITY <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> WIND. The smile leaves her<br />

face.<br />

INT. KILLIAN'S HOME, KITCHEN -- NIGHT<br />

The ENTIRE HOUSE CREAKS. Killian st<strong>and</strong>s, looking up. The HOUSE CREAKS<br />

again, <strong>the</strong>n suddenly <strong>the</strong> WIND CEASES. Silence.<br />

Beth...<br />

KILLIAN<br />

INT. KILLIAN'S HOME, WHITE ROOM -- NIGHT<br />

Beth picks up Thomas. The magic lantern shadow creatures begin<br />

spinning anew, quickly, around <strong>and</strong> around.<br />

INT. KILLIAN'S HOME, KITCHEN -- NIGHT<br />

With a ROAR, <strong>the</strong> fire flares. Killian looks... In <strong>the</strong> leaping flames<br />

he seems to see -- as we also seem to see -- <strong>the</strong> ILLUSION OF DEMONIC
