203. Into the Deep - leslie

• FADE IN:


• INT. MENTAL INSTITUTION - NIGHT


• DR. BERNARD peers into the thick glass of the cell in front of him.


• AMELIA crouches in the corner of the room, peeking between her hands, her head swiveling.


• A thick restraint around her ankle keeps her close to the wall.


• The GUARD near him chuckles.


• GUARD
• New here eh? Supposedly she's seen the face...


• DR. BERNARD
• The face of God. I know. She saw the deep and couldn't handle it. Not sure anyone could.


• GUARD
• Don't get too curious, Doc...strange things happen around her. I mean, she's tried to kill herself a few times...whatever she saw...


• DR. BERNARD
• Let me in.


• GUARD
• You sure about that?


• DR. BERNARD
• Just do it.


• GUARD
• Whatever you say; just be careful of what you bring in there.


• He walks over to the door and carefully unlocks it, then opens it just a bit.


• Dr. Bernard nods at him and slides past the guard into the room, stealing the keys before closing the door behind himself.


• INT. CELL - NIGHT


• DR. BERNARD
• Amelia? Can you see me Amelia, can you hear me.


• Her head twitches towards him and her eyes fix on him for a second, then she stares back at the wall, jerking backwards, yelping in fright.


• DR. BERNARD
• Tell me what you see Amelia, what do you see?


• She rocks back and forth.


• He approaches her, standing right in front of her.


• DR. BERNARD
• Tell me Amelia.


• She tilts her head, then grabs his jacket and pulls him close.


• Bernard turns to the window and sees the guard reach for the keys to open the door.


• Bernard pulls the key chain from his pocket and waves them at the guard.


• The guard's eyes go wide and he turns and runs down the hall.


• Dr. Bernard turns back to Amelia.


• Her eyes are fixed on the keys.


• She reaches for them and Bernard pulls away.


• DR. BERNARD
• Show me.


• She pulls him to her and her eyes go pure white.


• He begins shaking, but she holds him tight.


• Moments pass as she holds him still; finally she lets him go, her eyes cooling.


• He shakes, jabbering madly, waving at his head.


• She reaches for the keys, but he stumbles back, dodging something invisible.


• The doctor grabs the keys and plunges the longest one into his temple, his eyes going wide then filling with relief as death takes him.


• The guard returns to the door and through the window, she can see him pulling out a master key.


• Amelia jumps from her corner of the cot racing for the bloody keys, but the ankle restraint holds her in place.


• She lies on the floor, struggle as she screams and cries for relief.


• The guard races in, a medical team pulls the doctor out, and Amelia is left on the floor, screaming.


• FADE TO BLACK.
