Josh, Athena and Collin meeting Jim and Ellen.

10.

JIM:

Mr. Keeling? I’m Jim Crowley and

this is my wife, Ellen.

JOSH:

Please call me Josh. These are my

associates, Athena Ortiz and Collin

Clark.

Everybody shakes hands. We hear Delila BELLOW.

JIM:

That’s Delila.

JOSH:

We need to take a look at her.

Ellen notices Collin adjusting the M-PAC.

ELLEN:

You’re not going to kill her, are

you?

COLLIN:

Oh no, ma’am. This is an M-PAC

device. Multi-Purpose Attack and

Control. It’s charged with a nonlethal

pulse of super-compressed

argon gas.

JOSH:

Actually, I thought we’d let Athena

take the lead.

Collin is put-out. Athena reacts, who me?

INT. MILKING BARN --SAME DAY

The barn is a mess and full of shadows. Josh and Athena

enter. They can hear Delila’s HEAVY BREATHING coming from

somewhere in the darkness. Warily, they creep forward.

ATHENA:

Josh, I have a confession to make.

JOSH:

Now?

ATHENA:

I’m a little worried about the

bruja thing. I mean I’ve watched

my Grandmother a lot but I’ve never

actually done stuff on my own.

We hear a threatening HUFF. Delila steps into view. Her

condition has worsened, she looks truly berserk.

11.

JOSH:

I think you better get started.

ATHENA:

I’ll try an incantation from El

Salmo de Los Muertos. It’s

supposed to have a calming effect

on animals.

Athena holds her hands out, palms up, intones in Spanish:

ATHENA:

Este en la paz apacible tranquilo,

ningún daño vendrá a usted, esté

en la paz con mí y curaré su dolor.

Deje la energía de mi terraplén del

corazón usted con amor y deje el--

Suddenly, Delila lets out a roaring BELLOW.

ATHENA:

I don’t think this is working.

Delila paws the ground and charges.

ATHENA:

Josh?

Josh seems unconcerned, Delila building speed.

ATHENA:

Josh?!

JOSH:

Anytime, Collin.

Collin appears with the M-PAC and fires. An INVISIBLE PULSE

warps the air, hits Delila and stops her cold. She staggers.

Angle on Josh, Athena and Collin as we hear Delila SLUMP to

the ground. Collin looks at Athena, smug.

COLLIN:

Radio Shack. There is no

substitute.

A LITTLE LATER:

Josh examining the unconscious Delila, Athena taking pictures

with a digital camera, Jim and Ellen watching.

JOSH:

She’s got no obvious contusions or

lacerations, no blood anywhere.

Josh uses a mini-lite to check Delila’s eyes.

12.

JIM:

If you don’t mind my asking, how

does a fella get into a field like

this?

JOSH:

Started early. I was that kid.

(off Delila) Her pupils are dilated

but she’s not aphasic.

JIM:

That kid?

INT. (FLASHBACK) YOUNG JOSH’S ROOM/APARTMENT --EVENING

A chemistry set, models of spaceships hanging on wires,

terrariums full of lizards and spiders, a poster of Stephen

King looming over everything. YOUNG JOSH, 10 years old,

reading a comic book with great concentration, stacks of them

nearby, a PET SNAKE slithering up his arm.
