2 FADE IN: EXT. HONEY POT STRIP CLUB - NIGHT. The strip club is located in an industrial area. The front sign reads, HONEY POT GENTLEMAN S CLUB, a neon bear dips a paw in a honey jar. There s a smattering of cars in the car-park. The headlights of a white delivery van flare to life, they shine through pouring rain. The van reverses across the car-park and reveals a beat up old car. It parks on the other side of the car-park and the headlights shut down. THE steps from the van, he wears overalls and a Knit Cap. He rushes towards the clubs entrance through the pouring rain. INT. THE HONEY POT STRIP CLUB - NIGHT. The interior of the club is hazy, country music plays. The mirrored bar is lined with empty stools, shadowy silhouettes sit in dark booths. The Painter orders a drink, he turns and focuses on the stage. Shield s(23) dances around a chrome pole in a nuns habit, stockings and lingerie. The song winds down and the DISK JOCKEY S voice BOOMS from speakers. DISK JOCKEY(O/S) Put your hands together for Susie the sexy sister. The music stops and the Painter claps and woof whistles. Mary ignores him, she picks up her uniform, walks wearily to the stage door exit. DISK JOCKEY(O/S)(CONT D) Okay folks you would ve noticed there's a storm outside. (beat) Our next artist will bring the storm inside. Why not put you re hands together for Whiplash. A dancer dressed as a cow girl struts on stage, she cracks a whip.

3 2. INT. DANCERS CHANGE ROOMS-NIGHT The change-room has lockers on a back wall, a clothing rack full of costumes. SHELLY, youngish, dressed as a policewoman, does her make up in a stage mirror. SHELLY Storm s blown up. Mary has changed into sweatpants and a comfortable top. I know, and I need to drive to the opposite side of town. SHELLY Had anything to drink? Mary carries her nuns costume towards the clothing rack. Why do you ask, getting into character? Shelly stares at her reflection for a moment, she smiles, nods understanding. SHELLY Okay I get it. I don t accept drinks from customers. SHELLY Who s getting into character? The seedy looking boss (35)slinks into the room. Where you think you re going? Shift s over, I m leaving. No you re not, customer s requested a private dance. Yeah and I know who. I told you last time, never again with him.

4 3. So he has a few kinks, he s our best customer. A few kink's? Last time he wanted to talk about his mother while he watched me dance. SHELLY (guffaws) Which one is this? Don't know his name, but the girls call him Painter because he reeks of turpentine. (to Shelly) Don't you have something to do? SHELLY Okay, I m out of here. Shelly stands and struts towards the exit on high heels. Mary picks up her bag and makes to follow. I heard that, I'm leaving. I told you to stay. And I said no. Mary moves past Joe and he grabs her by the arm. Do the dance, accept his tip, then leave. (shakes arm free) I need to pick up my daughter. I m going now. Mary walks through the exit. Joe calls after her. Pick up your wages and don t come back. (O.S.) Fuck you, and your club!

5 4. Strippers... INT/EXT. HONEY POT STRIP CLUB - NIGHT Rain deluges down, thunder RUMBLES, lightening flashes across the sky. The headlights of the old car flicker, the engine splutters, the lights dim. Damn it you piece of shit! Mary s behind the wheel, she tries again. The ignition CLICKS over metallic and feeble. (CONT D) No please, come on... Mary turns the key on and off, nothing. She pounds the steering wheel. Damn it! (CONT D) Mary takes out her phone, checks her contacts looking for someone to call. The delivery van pulls into the space beside her. Mary winds her window down, leans into the rain, waves. (CONT D) Hey would you mind? The van's passenger window lowers and the Painter comes into view. Need any help? Mary slams down the door lock, winds up her window. Fuck... Mary turns the key, pumps the accelerator, looks out the window. (CONT D) Come on start you bitch. The passenger door opens and the Painter steps out into the rain.

6 5. (CONT D) Come on baby. The ignition CLICKS, the engine ROARS to life. Yes! (CONT D) Mary slams the car into gear, looks back to reverse. Her window EXPLODES in a shower of glass. The Painter reaches into the car. Mary fights and screams as she is dragged through the window. (CONT D) Leave me alone. Your coming with me. The Painter jams a syringe into Mary s neck and she slumps lifeless as she is dragged from the car. The delivery vans headlights flare to life. The vehicle reverses and reveals Mary s car with a broken window. The van motors from the car-park. INT. OLD CHAPEL - NIGHT The walls of the small chapel are adorned with artist William Blake s religious symbolism. Glorious gods and angels, divinities and saints. The Painter caresses a thin stream of paint along a pencil line with his brush. It's good your so quiet, an artist must never be disturbed while painting, it disrupts their flow. The Painter collects paint from his pestle, dabs the eye of a serpent rendered on the chapel wall. That's not what call me is it? Don't worry, I've heard your little nickname. The Painter smiles at Mary propped up on a chapel pew. She's gaged, her hands and feet are tied, she wears a plain black dress. Your right, I'm only restoring the works.

7 6. The Painter steps back to examine his restoration work on Blake's painting Satan Exulting Over Eve. Eve lies naked in a field, eye's closed, hair splayed. A serpent hovers across her breast, an angel floats above. My mother was the real talent. The Painter moves to a scaffold. He places his pestle and brush beside a bottle of turpentine. I can t let you watch me work on all of them. The Painter picks up a paint stained cloth, he wipes his hands. You'll be spending most of your time downstairs. EXT. COUNTRY FARM - DAY Rolling farm hills are blanketed in wild flowers. Dew glistens on the grass, it s a beautiful spring morning. MORGAN Sear(7) wears a pretty summer dress. Her long hair is held back with an Alice headband. Morgan carries an egg basket towards a quaint farm house, she sings a nursery rhyme. MORGAN Little chick waits in her egg of white. Morgan stops to pick flowers, she smells their scent, places them on the eggs. MORGAN (CONT D) Curled up and cozy oh so tight. Morgan swings her hair and her basket as she walks. MORGAN (CONT D) Little chick taps a hole with her beak, beak, beak. CU: A bee collects nectar from a flower at Morgans feet, the insect takes flight. MORGAN (CONT D) Then she pops from her shell with a cheep, cheep, cheep...

8 7. CU: The bee lands on Morgans ankle, it drives it s sting into her soft flesh. Morgan yelps, then she bends and swipes at the bee. CU: Morgan's basket of eggs falls with an EXPLOSION of bright yolk and wild flowers. Morgan collapses and her eye s close. Her body convulses as she slips into anaphylactic shock. Beat. The front door of the farmhouse BANGS open and Morgan s distraught mother races across the field to her daughter. Morgan! EXT.STATE FORREST PARK - DAY FAITH Connor(15) petite and attractive, jogs through a deserted and foggy park. She wears head phones, track suit. Faith see s a parked white van and she stops a safe distance away. SCRATCHY music comes from her head phones. Faith toys with the gold pendant on her delicate necklace. She shades her eye s and peers at a bumper sticker. Faith s POV: There s a silhouette of a pole dancer and the words, I Support Single Moms on the van's back bumper. Faith turns to go back the way she came, she stops short. I've seen you before right, do I know you? Faith gasps, she looks up at the Painter. He wears paint spattered overalls and a knit cap. FAITH No, I don't thinks so... Faith tries to flee but the Painter lunges. He wraps his arms about her shoulders. Faith screams and struggles. FAITH (CONT D) I'm certain of it, you probably just didn't see me. The Painter pushes a syringe into the base of Faiths neck. He forces down the plunger and she slumps in his arms. INT/EXT. FARM HOUSE - DAY

9 8. Sear(28) attractive widowed mother of Morgan washes dishes. Above the faucets a foggy window frames the rolling hills of her farm. Jill smiles when Morgan appears over the crest of the hill. Jill s POV: Through the window. Morgan stops to pick flowers, she breaths in their scent, places them in her basket. Morgan swings her hair and basket as she walks. She stops, bends and swipes at her ankle. What..? Jill watches Morgan drop her basket. She stops washing, her hands remain in the soapy water. Playing..? Jill watches Morgan collapse and realization hits her. Bee sting! Jill EXPLODES into action. She pulls soapy hands from the sink, yanks open a draw and rummages around. Shit, where is it? Jill doesn t find what she s looking for and she slams the draw shut. Damn it! Jill pulls out the draw underneath and empties it on the kitchen bench. Miscellaneous items tumble out, but among them is a yellow and black emergency Epi-pen. Jill snatches up the Epi-pen and her phone. She hurries to her daughter. INT. BASEMENT PRISON - DAY A naked light bulb hangs on a frayed cord, there s a crucifix on the wall, a tattered calendar. Rusty paint tins are beneath a tarpaulin in the corner.

10 9. Rails resembling tracks run down the center of the room, end at a bathroom. Metal beds are either side of the space, there s a set of draws beside one. The rooms heavy door bangs open and the Painter drags an unconscious Faith towards the empty bed. I found you some company. Mary the dancer from the Honey Pot sits up in the other bed, she s older and tired, she wears a black dress. What have you done to her? Same as I done to you. She s too young. That s not for you to decide. The Painter dumps Faith on the bed, picks up a manacle and chain. You ve made a mistake. Why not take her back before it s too late? I didn t get this one from the same place I got you. The Painter attaches the manacle to Faith s ankle, closes it tight. It isn t like visiting your favorite fishing hole you know. The Painter chuckles, he stands, wipes his sweat with his sleeve. You have to move around when you re involved in this type of pastime. The Painter checks the chain is secured to the floor rail. She's here to stay, you'll teach her how to behave and that's all she wrote.

11 10. I won't help you. She'll learn or she'll be punished. The Painter s eyes travel Faith s body, come to rest on her red and swelling ankle. You wont be needing those anymore. The Painter slips off Faiths running shoes. He carries them to the door. Enjoy the company, I ll be back soon. The Painter leaves through the heavy door, it slams shut with a prison-cell CLANG. EXT. S FARM - DAY The door of the farmhouse BANGS open. sprint s across the field towards Morgan. She screams at her phone as she runs. Old Chapel Road, there s a long driveway! The phone s on speaker. The EMERGENCY DISPATCHER S voice is static. EMERGENCY DISPATCHER(O.S.) How old is the girl? Seven, please hurry! Jill falls to her knees, dumps the phone in the flowers, she cradles Morgans head. Morgan baby, mommies here. EMERGENCY DISPATCHER(O.S.) We have a vehicle close, please leave your phone connected so we can continue our trace. Jill ignores the operator, she reads the Epi-Pen instructions, her hands shake nervously.

12 11. Remove blue lid, hold orange tip against thigh. Jill fumbles the blue lid free. She places the Epi-pen onto Morgan s leg. Shit! Come on baby... (CU). Jill s holds the Epi-pen on Morgan s thigh. There s an audible CLICK, the orange safety cover drops. Come on Morgan, come on baby... (CU). Morgan jerks in her mothers arms. Her eye s spring open, she gasps, moans. Mommy. MORGAN Yes Morgan, I m here... Jill hugs Morgan, there s tears on her daughters cheeks. MORGAN Why did he hurt me? I don t know baby but it s okay now. Jill looks up when she hears the distant sound of a siren. You frightened me baby. An emergency vehicle with flashing lights turns down a long gravel driveway, it motors towards Jill s farmhouse.
