INT. NIX'S HOUSE - PASSAGEWAY OUTSIDE NIX'S SANCTUM - DAY
Swann wipes sweat from his upper lip, then reaches down to
his belt, to check the GUN tucked out of sight at his side.
He turns the door handle.
INT. NIX'S HOUSE - SANCTUM - DAY
Swann steps inside. Nix's chair has its back to him. The
folds of Nix's robe are visible, however. Swann hears a
muffled SOBBING from the far side of the room.
On the Girl, now gagged and lying amongst bones and filth.
Swann starts towards her, his footsteps barely audible. As
he approaches the chair - the Baboon leaps at him screeching!
He reaches for his gun. The chair topples. The Baboon, half
dressed in Nix's robes, bounds towards Swann.
Swann FIRES at it. The bullet blasts off half its head.
INT. NIX'S HOUSE - PASSAGEWAY - DAY
On Quaid, who draws his GUN as three CULTISTS appear in the
passageway that leads to Nix's Sanctum.
QUAID:
Stay the f*** away!
(yells)
Pimm! Get over here!
INT. NIX'S HOUSE - SANCTUM - DAY
PAN UP from the twitching Baboon corpse to Swann as he
struggles with the Girl's gag. He has laid his gun on the
ground beside her.
SWANN:
You're going to be okay.
Out of focus, behind him, the cruciform sculpture swings
round. Nix is hanging on it, like an idol on a grotesque
altarpiece.
The Girl sees Nix over Swann's shoulder. Terror crosses her
face. Swann turns.
NIX:
I knew you'd come.
He reaches down to Swann.
NIX:
I've got so much power to give
you, Swann. All you have to do
is...beg.
SWANN:
F*** you.
NIX:
You don't think I've got it to
give?
SWANN:
No!
Suddenly. Nix swoops down on Swann. apparently defying
gravity.
NIX:
You're wrong.
He catches hold of Swann with one hand and drives him back
against the wall.
NIX:
I could eat your f***ing soul,
Swann.
INT. NIX'S HOUSE - PASSAGEWAY - DAY
Jennifer, reaches the door of the Sanctum. Butterfield steps
from the shadows. His KNIFE flashes as it strikes Jennifer's
hand. BLOOD SPURTS.
JENNIFER:
F***!
She retreats, staunching her bleeding hand.
INT. NIX'S HOUSE - SANCTUM - DAY
Nix has Swann trapped against the wall and is working his
fingers against Swann's temples. Working, working, like a
psychic surgeon plying against the belly of a patient.
NIX:
You want to know what the world
really looks like?
Swann struggles, but he can't get free of Nix's hold.
And now -- horribly -- Nix's fingers slide beneath the skin
of Swann's temples, without a drop of blood being spilt.
NIX:
Want to see flesh with a god's
eyes?
Swann SCREAMS as Nix's mind-hold seizes him.
INT. NIX'S HOUSE - PASSAGEWAY - DAY
Quaid levels his gun at Butterfield, who is guarding the
Sanctum door. Jennifer is at Quaid's side.
SWANN (V.O.)
Aah!
