46 INT. HOTEL ROOM - CHRIS'S ROOM 46
Chris is working on the Scrying Spell as before, when he
suddenly pauses, blinks and then looks around as if seeing
the room for the first time.
Without saying a word, he shoves the books to one side and
searches for a different one, opening it on the table and
starting to read from it.
47 INT. MEDIEVAL ROOM 47
Malkuth is hurled across the screen. He hits the wall hard,
falls to the ground. Aken laughs at him.
AKEN
You do know that you can't kill me,
right?
MALKUTH
Are you still so sure about that?
Malkuth throws the pickaxe. It slams into Aken's leg. While
Aken goes to pull it out, Malkuth pops up. He hits Aken twice
in the face. Good solid blows. He doesn't even blink in
recognition.
Aken slams Malkuth with a forearm. Again Malkuth flies across
the room, again he hits a wall hard. Aken pulls the pickaxe
out, crumbles it within his hands.
AKEN
This bores me.
He walks over to Malkuth, threateningly.
AKEN (cont'd)
Time to make what I said in Ireland
come true.
Aken stops suddenly. He tries to move, but can't.
VOICE
Hold!
REVEAL CHRIS, holding a Magic Book, standing directly behind
Aken.
48 EXT. TRANSYLVANIA - DUSK 48
As before. Draken circles Twist, more edgy now, sensing
Draken's mood worsening as the conversation carries on.
TWIST
The choice to do as we see fit.
DRAKEN
Oh yeah. I remember that choice. Is
that the choice that allows me to
rip you limb from limb?
TWIST
(sighs)
Looks that way.
DRAKEN
I gotta say. The concept of free
will sounds extremely gratifying.
Draken swings his fist around. He nails Twist in the jaw,
sending her flying to the floor.
DRAKEN
I kinda like you, Twist. You remind
me of me, when I was first brought
into their world. Young,
idealistic, full of hope. I guess
I'll have to beat all that good
spirit out of you!
Draken hits Twist again, hard.
DRAKEN
Think of me as a Mentor. I'm going
to show you the lights, the sights
and the frights that I've seen.
Draken hits her again, harder still.
DRAKEN
I'll make you see the truth.
Draken hits her again, drawing blood.
DRAKEN
Besides. I really can't afford to
have competition here. Kind of
takes away from the whole enigma
thing I have going.
Twist spits out some blood, stares at him with contempt.
TWIST
Well now, wouldn't want to do that,
would I?
DRAKEN
(smiles)
Now you're getting it!
Draken goes to hit her again. Twist grabs his hand, holding
it in mid-air. She yanks it forward, sending him flying over
her. Draken lands in a heap behind her, dazed and confused.
Twist stands up. She's pretty pissed off. Draken stares at
her, disgusted.
DRAKEN
Lucky shot.
Twist smirks, wiping away a smear of blood from her face.
TWIST
Oh don't worry, I've got plenty
more luck left yet.
49 INT. MEDIEVAL CASTLE 49
Malkuth looks up, pained. Sees Chris. Confusion and fear
enter his eyes.
MALKUTH
Chris…?
CHRIS
This isn't about you, Malkuth. This
is about me getting Twist back. I
won't let her rot in Hell… not
again.
AKEN
(laughs)
Half breed! You dare defy me?
CHRIS
I do! And you should really learn
some new catch phrases, by the way…
Aken shakes his head.
FLASH: the hold Chris has over Aken is destroyed. Chris falls
onto his ass, dropping the Magic Book.
AKEN
Now I have to kill you both.
Chris gets up, runs at Aken. A right to the face knocks him
down. Malkuth charges as well, at Aken's back.
Aken waits to he's close, grabs him by the side, and nails
him with a backbreaker. Malkuth writhes in agony.
Chris grabs the pickaxe. He ducks an Aken punch, slams it
into his spine. Aken searches for the pickaxe as Chris dodges
round him, ready to start punching again.
Aken grabs Chris with one hand. Locks it around the throat.
Throws Chris to the floor.
Malkuth grabs a sword from one of the Knights. He slams it in
Aken's front, impaling him. Aken laughs.
AKEN
True demons don't die like you
primitives do!
50 EXT. TRANSYLVANIA - DUSK 50
Draken comes at Twist. She blocks his blows, before rocking
him with a big headbutt.
TWIST
I think being immortal went to your
brain, boy!
Draken lunges at Twist. She ducks knocks him down with a
roundhouse kick.
TWIST
I'm here for a reason. I was meant
to hear every word you said.
DRAKEN
So you could know the truth?
Draken hits her in the face.
TWIST
Not exactly.
Twist hits him in the face.
TWIST
So I could understand how Oprah
feels when her guests start whining
like little kids!
Twist pulls out a stake. She RAMS it forward, into Draken's
chest. He gasps, staring back at her in disbelief, before his
legs crumple beneath him and he hits the deck.
Twist holds the stake in mid-air and stares down at the body
before her, which seems to be rapidly ageing as the magic
holding Draken's old body together fades away. Some things
make more sense, but some things seem as conflicted as ever.
She sinks to her knees as the exertion from the fight takes
over.
51 INT. MEDIEVAL CASTLE 51
Aken knocks Malkuth away. He lands by Chris, groggy. Chris's
reluctantly nudges Malkuth.
CHRIS
Berlin?
Malkuth nods and sighs.
MALKUTH
Berlin. Only let's leave out the
part where we both almost got
killed…
They share a look of understanding. Both get up - Malkuth
runs for the magic book, Chris runs for Aken.
Aken starts swinging. Chris ducks, yanks out the sword. He
starts carving away - the blows don't have much effect, but
they distract Aken. His wounds, however, seem to heal
instantly. Chris slices like a man possessed.
Malkuth reads from the book. He quietly recites a Latin
translation as Chris cuts away.
Aken knocks the sword away, grabs Chris. In the background,
Malkuth keeps reciting. Aken chokes the life from Chris, a
sickly sadistic smile on his face.
Malkuth nears the end of the spell.
Behind Aken appears a portal. Chris sees it, holds on for
dear life. Aken puts both hands around Chris's neck, gets
ready to snap it.
MALKUTH
Aken! I'm sending you home!
Chris KICKS with his feet and knocks Aken back a step, who
starts to get hit by the pull of the portal. He drops Chris,
who scrambles for cover, and with a ROAR, Aken is sucked into
the portal.
FLASH: Chris and Malkuth stand there, bloodied but
victorious, trying to catch their breath.
MALKUTH
Thanks! It was good to work
together again, after all this
time.
CHRIS
Don't push it. You've got ten
seconds while we get our breath
back before I'm coming after you.
Malkuth sighs as Chris starts to get to his feet.
MALKUTH
Honestly, that's gratitude for you…
Malkuth snaps his fingers, and with a FLASH, he is gone.
Chris looks round, before realising Malkuth has magicked
himself away. He lowers his sword and sighs deeply.
52 EXT. TRANSYLVANIA - DUSK. 52
Twist is still sitting on the plateau, staring down at the
remains of Draken. A portal opens up behind her, but she
doesn't look round as Chris steps through it. He scans the
area, smiling when he sees her and walking over.
CHRIS
(relieved)
There you are! I've been hopping
all over the place trying to find
you. I remembered that Aken liked
to send his prisoners here, so I
thought I'd find you here.
Chris realises she hasn't looked up. He notices the body of
Draken and places a hand on her shoulder.
CHRIS
Is everything alright?
Twist pats his hand, sighs once, then stands and turns to
face him, the trademark grin back on her face.
TWIST
Yup. Had a bit of trouble with the
locals, but nothing I couldn't
handle.
CHRIS
Glad to hear it. Come on, let's get
out of here.
He heads back towards the portal and walks through it,
disappearing in a crackle of electricity.
Twist pauses, throwing one last look towards Draken's body
before she steps through, the portal closing behind them both
with a fizzing sound.
53 INT. HOTEL ROOM - CHRIS'S ROOM 53
Chris is packing. Twist walks in, unsure. Chris sees her. He
only needs to look once to know there's something up.
CHRIS
What's wrong?
TWIST
(long beat)
What happens when it's over?
Chris understands. He puts his packing down and sits down on
the bed, looking thoughtfully back at Twist, who bites her
lip, clearly still troubled by what Draken said.
CHRIS
I don't know. I guess I'm just
concentrating on getting there for
now. Maybe we'll find that pot of
gold I keep hearing so much about.
Twist and Chris stare at each other.
TWIST
So you really don't know? I mean,
am I going back to… back there,
when it's all done?
CHRIS
(softly)
I don't know.
TWIST
(beat)
Well, that sucks.
CHRIS
I never said it wouldn't. The trick
is to not get yourself killed!
TWIST
Well, gee, Nostradamus, thanks for
the tip. I'll remember that next
time I'm lost in some freaky mirror
world and fighting some crazy
vampire!
CHRIS
And besides…
TWIST
Besides what?
CHRIS
I wouldn't give you up without a
fight. You deserve a second chance,
Twist, you're proving that to me
more every day. So while I can
still help you make up your debt to
the world, I'll always do what I
can.
He grins and she smiles back, more at ease already. She picks
up one of his shirts and studies it.
TWIST
And anyway, no way I'm dying on you
before I help you sort your fashion
sense out! When did you buy this
thing anyway, the Seventies?
CHRIS
(beat)
Actually, yes.
TWIST
Oh.
BLACK OUT:
END OF SHOW
