DEXTER:
It's horrible, isn't it? Isn't it?
But Donovan SLAMS his eyes shut even tighter.
DONOVAN:
(pleading)
Please.
Dexter GRABS the back of Donovan's neck, SPINS him around,
SLAMS his face into a wall, then grabs his hair and pulls
Donovan's head back.
DEXTER:
OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK AT WHAT YOU
DID -- LOOK OR I'LL CUT YOUR EYELIDS
Donovan's eyes pop open wide, and we finally SEE --
THREE SMALL BODIES
Three little dead BOYS laid out on plastic sheets and spread
out in a semi-circle before them.
DEXTER (CONT'D)
It took me a long time to get all
these little boys clean -- one of them
had been in the ground so long he was
falling apart -- Pulled him out in
bits and pieces.
DONOVAN:
NO.
And then in a deeply heartfelt voice Donovan starts mumbling
in a mantra-like way -
DONOVAN (CONT'D)
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord...
DEXTER:
(furious)
STOP! That never helped anyone.
DONOVAN:
Please.
DEXTER:
It's time for the truth.
6.
DONOVAN:
(pleading again)
Please...You can have anything -
DEXTER:
That's good. Beg. Did these little
boys beg?
Donovan SCREAMS and Dexter lets go. Donovan falls forward and
lands on his face sobbing, sniveling.
DONOVAN:
I couldn't help myself, I just
couldn't...Please, you have to
understand.
Dexter looks down at him --
DEXTER:
Trust me, I definitely understand.
Then Dexter grabs him, lifts him up, stares into his eyes.
DEXTER (CONT'D)
See, I can't help myself either.
(w/disgust)
But children. I could never do that.
Not like you. Never, ever kids.
DONOVAN:
(rhetorical, plaintive)
Why?
DEXTER:
I have standards.
And then in a flash, Dexter pulls a syringe out of his
pocket, PLUNGES the needle deep into Donovan's neck. His eyes
instantly roll up and into the back of his head and when we
see nothing but white, he collapses onto the floor.
Dexter leans down, picks him up by his collar, drags him up
the stairs.
CUT TO:
INT. SECOND FLOOR, OLD HOUSE - OUTSKIRTS MIAMI, FL - LATER
Flood lamps illuminate the clean, white, freshly painted
room.
The windows are sealed with thick plastic sheets and on the
table in the middle of the room -
7.
Donovan lies naked, but his arms and legs are strapped down
with duct tape. His eyes wide open and his mouth is stuffed
with thick wads of white gauze.
Placed strategically around the room are boxes lined with
white garbage bags and on a smaller table next to the Choir
Master are bottles of chemicals, small saws, drills, scalpels
and knives of every shape and size. It's an unseemly display
of gleaming metallic, sterile utensils.
Dexter, now wearing a clean set of pressed surgical blues and
