TARA
I don’t like this – something’s
(beat)
It’s not right

(Cocky)
You’re not
FAITH
(Confident)
Pretty sure I don’t need to be
FAITH KICKS THE COFFEE TABLE ACROSS THE FLOOR IN AN ATTEMPT TO BOWL THE POLICE OVER. THE DISTRACTION GIVES HER ENOUGH ROOM TO SOMMERSAULT ACROSS THE LIVING AREA AND INTO CONNORS ROOM.
SHE RETURNS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY – BARING A THICK, LARGE, CIRCULAR METAL SHIELD AS SHE CHARGES THROUGH THE POLICE.
EACH OF THEM SHOOTS AT THE SLAYER AS SHE DODGES ACROSS THE ROOM, THE BULLETS RICOCHET FROM THE SHIELD ALLOWING HER TO ESCAPE UNSCATHED.

EXT – FAITHS APT – NIGHT.
FAITH REACHES THE OUTSIDE OF THE APARTMENT AS THE POLICE ARE HOT ON HER TAIL.
FAITH
(To herself)
Gotta admire the persistency
(Shocked)
Big word!
FAITH CAN’T USE THE HEAVILY DENTED SHIELD MUCH FURTHER AND STILL SURVIVE – SHE IS FORCED TO TAKE THE ULTIMATE STEP BACK, THE SEVEN YEARS BACK STEP – TO 1999 FAITH.
SHE HURLS THE SHIELD LIKE A FRISBY – FLEEING BEFORE SEEING WHETHER OR NOT SHE HAS CAUGHT ANYONE WITH IT.
CUT TO.
EXT – ANDREWS BAR – NIGHT
HALF THE POLICE HAVE BEEN SLAUGHTERED. GARRISON IS NOT WITH THE OTHERS – CONNOR IS BACK – FIGHTING AGRESSIVELY.
MARIA
We’re backing up
(pause)
Now!
COP#8
You don’t call the shots her ma’am!
WITH THAT HIS CHEST IS TORN FROM BEHIND. HE FLOPS TO THE GROUND LIKE A RAG DOLL.
MARIA
Neither do you
SHE NODS AT THE OTHER TWO – CONNOR GIVES HER A REASSURING “HE’S IN A SAFE PLACE” LOOK – OFF THE LOOK, THE THREE OF THEM SPRINT AT TOP SPEED INTO THE NIGHT.
CUT TO.
INT – ANDREWS BAR – UPSTAIRS
INT – BATHROOM
GARRISON IS PROPPED UP AGAINST THE WALL, WRAPPED IN A BLANKET. THE DOOR IS BOLTED – THE WINDOW OPEN FROM CONNORS EXIT.
CUT TO.
TEN MINUTES LATER
EXT – BOSTON STREET – NIGHT
THE CORPSES OF SEVERAL POLICEMEN SURROUND THE FLOOR – NO OTHER LIFE IS SEEN.
THE DEMONS CHARGE THE STREETS, BURNING, BREAKING – ANYTHING THEY CAN SEE, ANYTHING THEY CAN TOUCH.
A SOFT, MELLOW TUNE WHISTLES THROUGH THE AIR AS THE DEMONS CALM.
ON: PIPER FINISHES THE TUNE AS HE FOLDS HIS PIPE AWAY.
PIPER
Now, Now kiddies – we’ve got a whole word to take over and that’s not going to happen whilst she’s still here to stop me is it?
(Pause)
So, did anyone see exactly where she went?
CUT TO.
INT – TARAS APARTMENT – NIGHT
DAWN STEPS FORWARD WITH THE MAGIC BOX IN HER HANDS.
DAWN
Why haven’t we seen this before?
DANSON
You never had a watcher?
DAWN
Funny guy
(Beat)
Can you translate it?
ANGLE: Small, barely visible ancient text in the magic box.
ANDREW
I thought you were the language expert.
AT THIS CONNOR, MARIA & DARREN ENTER THE ROOM, PANTING, BLOODIED, TATTERED.
DAWN
Where’s Faith?
ANDREW
Where’s Garrison?
MARIA
Faith’s gone back to the apartment – she has to skip town
ANDREW
What about Garrison?
CONNOR
He’s safe
ANDREW
Where safe?
CONNOR
Andrew
(Stern)
He’s safe!
DAWN
(Cutting in – Andrew looks angry)
Connor can you read this?
HE LOOKS, SQUINTIN AT THE DIALOGUE
CONNOR
Quotarique
DARREN
Quo what?
CONNOR
It’s the Quo’Tarth language – or it was
DAWN
Was?
CONNOR
Before Quo’Tarth was what it was, when it used speech and written word, that was thousands of years ago.
DAWN
But you can read it?
CONNOR
Vaguely – may be a little sketchy
DAWN
Worth a shot!
CONNOR
(unsure)
Okay
DAWN, TARA, ANDREW & DANSON STEP TO ONE SIDE, STANDING DIRECTLY PARRALEL TO CONNOR.
CONNOR
(struggling)
Menata vi queta
(hesitant – looking up at Dawn)
Jus vata mon quera
(pause)
That’s it
DAWN
Why has nothing happened?
ANDREW
Well, why don’t you use the spell from before?
DAWN
Because I wasn’t “in” the musical land – I was in Casey’s mind – this is how we get there.
TARA
But nothings…
FADE TO WHITE.
EXT – PALE WHITE EMPTINESS
THE FOUR OF THEM STAND OPPOSITE THICK, IRON GATES.
DAWN
Here we go…again!
END OF PART ONE
EXT – THE MUSICAL LAND – SCARLET SKIES
DAWN LEADS THE OTHERS DOWN THE SAME PATH OF WHICH CASEY TOOK HER.
TARA
Nice place
ANDREW
Yeah it’s got a real Leaving Los Angeles feel to it.
DAWN
This is the nice part – trust me
DANSON
There are worse parts? This place is so dirty my mother would spin like a rotisserie if she saw this
(beat)
And if she was in her grave
ANDREW
Hey, I don’t get it – I mean, why is the little oompa lumpa girl so spazzing about getting this place back?
DAWN
Only child…
(Serious)
She’s not – she just doesn’t want anyone else to have it – or something – I kind of lost trail of thought when she imaginary stabbed me with a letter opener
(calm)
All I know is there’s something in a castle that she really doesn’t want me to find or meet
TARA
Dawn…
DAWN
It was all shiny and…
TARA
Dawn…
DAWN
What?
TARA
D-did it look like that?
DAWN TURNS TO SEE A LARGE, THREE HEADED, BLUE SKINNED BEAST, DROOLING OVER HEAD OF THEM.
DAWN
Do **not** drool on my angora
(drip)
Sweater!
THE DEMON SNAPS DOWN AT THE GROUP, VERY NARROWLY MISSING THEM.
CUT TO.
INT – FRANKIES APARTMENT – NIGHT
FRANKIE IS SAT ON THE CHAIR WATCHING CHEERS AND SIPPING ON A BUD AS THE DOOR CRASHES OFF IT’S HINGES.
SHE BACKS OVER TO THE WALL IMMEDIATELY AS FAITH STROLLS IN.
FRANKIE
Listen kid! We sorted it out – why are you here? Money? I can do money…what twenties…fifties?
FAITH
I don’t want your money
SIGH OF RELIED
FAITH
I want your life
FRANKIE
What?
FAITH
Not cold blood and stiff wooden boxes chica, just the life part of living
FRANKIE
I don’t understand
FAITH
I.D, namesakes, cards, passport – I figure I can pass as you If I draw in a few lines and walk on my knees
FRANKIE
Charming
FAITH
(sarcy)
Isn’t it just
(beat)
Really gotta jet so if you could make the process past in this dimension time – that’d be great.
FRANKIE
(uncomfortable)
Sure – um, it’s in the draw – the passports in the draw
FAITH
(indicating draw)
This one?
FRANKIE
Right, um, that one
AS FAITH IS RIFLING THROUGH THE DRAWS LOOKING FOR THE PASSPORT. FRANKIES APPEARS BEHIND HER AND…OUT COLD.
FRANKIE STANDS OVER FAITH HOLDING A LARGE, SOLID WOOD STATUE.
FADE TO BLACK.
FADE IN.
FAITH COMES ROUND SLOWLY – SHE IS STARING UP AT FRANKIES CEILING.
SHE SITS UP SLOWLY, RUBBING HER HEAD AS FRANKIE – NOW DRESSED LIKE A LOUNGER SINGER, SWEEPS OUT FROM ONE OF THE BACK ROOMS.
FRANKIE
Oh, you’re awake
(smiling)
I’d like you to meet my husband
FAITH LOOKS OVER TO SEE THE PIPER, CONFIDENTLY STEPPING OUT OF THE BEDROOM, TWIRLING HIS PIPE LIKE IT’S A BATON.
PIPER
Evening!
FAITH
How long
(Restless)
How long have you been married?
FRANKIE
Three weeks today – ain’t it grand and all our children, so big and grown.
PIPER
Now, I believe we have a bit of a situation, you see, I was managed to get two of her Guardian’s killed, then I almost got rid of you and the girl – then I got my magic box and the boy all was going nicely
FAITH STANDS TO HER FEET SLOWLY AND CAUTIOUSLY
PIPER
Then you and your little friends stopped playing nice and starting listening to the little girl – then you, this is just you personally, stole my box – the only door I had to getting home and stopping her from reclaiming that land.
(pause)
Now, I’m hell bent on claiming this land before she does – I created a monster what can I say?
FAITH
Created?
PIPER
Child sacrifice – many, many years ago – when I was still human. She was just so pure, so ripe for the occasion
FAITH
(sickened)
You made her?
PIPER
Don’t seem to surprised – I thought you’d have seen the connection by now, myself. I mean the way all of you came together
FAITH
What?
PIPER
The girl – your sister, you only found this out recently I believe? Andrew – the outsider, The fact that that you were always a loner and are now surrounded by “friends” that fact that her lover returned – that the girl came back from the dead and bought a connection to Casey with her…. You think it’s all coincidence?
FAITH
Pre-empted?
PIPER
Fate.
CUT TO.
EXT – MUSICAL LAND CASTLE
DAWN
This is it
ANDREW
Anyone else kinda…
TARA
Really scared about going in?
ANDREW
That and…
DANSON
Really needing to go to the lavatory
ANDREW
Right!
DAWN
Andrew I told you to go before we left! Just…
BEFORE SHE FINISHES HER LINE – THE DOORS OPEN TO REVEAL THREE YOUNG GIRLS – ALL OF A SIMILAR LOOK TO CASEY. DARK HAIR, PALE FEATURES, BIG PALE EYES, ROSY LIPS.
GIRLS
Four little girls not as they should, one of them was bad three of them was good.
Along came a man in search of thrill he took the bad girl and boiled to the kill.
The girl screamed in pain as the darkness replaced
Banished still today to forget about this plain.
ANDREW
Poems
(beat)
Cool!
DAWN
You’re talking about Casey right? How do we stop her?
GIRLS
Unboil, Unboil end the turmoil straighten the coil!
CUT TO.
INT – FRANKIES APARTMENT – NIGHT
FAITH LEAPS OVER THE CHAIR AND LUNGES FOR THE PIPER. SHE CRASHES DOWN AS HE SHIFTS AWAY.
HE LAUGHS BEFORE BLOWING ON HIS PIPE WHICH CAUSES FRANKIE TO BOIL UP A FIERCE RAGE AND LAUNCH AT FAITH IN HER DEMON FORM.
FAITH LOOKS OVER AT THE PIPE, SMILING IN REALISATION.
SHE LEAPS OVER FRANKIE AND FLIPS BEHIND THE PIPER KICKING IT OUT OF HIS HAND.
PIPER
(furious)
You failed again!
FRANKIE
I’m sorry…I…
BEFORE SHE CAN FINISH SPEAKING, HE SNATCHES THE PIPE FROM THE FLOOR AND AIMS IT TOWARDS HER. ALMOST INSTANTLY SHE IS BURNED FROM THE OUTSIDE IN – THE CHARRING CORPSE FALLS TO THE GROUND IN A HEAP.
FAITH
Tough love!
PIPER
Imagine how much I love my enemies!
HE LIFTS THE PIPE AND AIMS IT TOWARD FAITH
CUT TO.
EXT – ANDREWS – BAR
NO DEMONS IN SIGHT – THE POLICE BODIES REMAIN.
FROM THE SHATTERED REMAINS OF THE BUILDING, GARRISON STEPS SLOWLY. HE IS HOLDING HIS RIBS. HIS FACE IS BATTERED AND DEEPLY CUT.
BLOOD DRIPS FROM THE CORNERS OF HIS MOUTH AND NOSE – HE IS WEAK AND DISORIENTATED.
HE LOOKS DOWN THE STREET IN THE DIRECTION OF TARAS HOUSE AND SLOWLY BEGINS TO WALK
END OF PART TWO.
EXT – THE IRON GATES – DAY
DANSON
Everything?
DAWN
As far as I can figure
CUT TO.
INT – FRANKIES APARTMENT – NIGHT
FAITH DODGES ANOTHER BALL OF FIRE FROM THE PIPE AS SHE ROLLS BEHIND A DOOR TO AVOID THE CLASH.
PIPER
(Mocking)
You think a door can hide you?
FAITH
(To herself)
No but a window sure as hell…
SHE LOOKS OUT THE WINDOW TO SEE SEVERAL OF THE REMAINING POLICE ARRIVE – OBVIOUSLY UNAWARE OF THE SLAUGHTER OF THEIR SQUAD MATES.
FAITH
Damn!
SHE LOOKS AROUND FOR AN EXIT AND SPIES AN ATTACK DOOR ABOVE THE BED.
MINUTES LATER THE PIPER ENTERS THE ROOM – FAITH CAN NOT BE SEEN, YET HE NOTICES THE OPEN DOOR AND IMMEDIATELY STEPS ONTO THE LADDER.
WITH THAT – FAITH JUMPS FROM INSIDE THE CLOSET AND KICKS THE LADDER OUT FROM BENEATH HIM. THE PIPER FLINGS OUT OF HIS HAND AND ROLLS UNDER THE BED.
FAITH RUSHES OVER AND LIFTS HIM BY HIS COLLAR.
FAITH
You
(smack)
are really
(smack)
wasting my time
(neck snap)
FAITH STANDS LOOKING AT THE MANGLED BODY FOR A SECOND. SHE SMILES PROUDLY IGNORING THE POLICE ‘SURRENDER YOU’RE SURROUNDED’ CALLS FROM OUTSIDE.
SHE BENDS DOWN TO THE BED TO RETRIEVE THE PIPER.
AS SHE FINGERS AROUND UNDERNEATH THE BED, THE PIPER RAISES TO HIS FEET AND JOLTS HIS NACK INTO PLACE.
FAITH THEN FINDS HERSELF BEING PULLED FROM UNDERNEATH THE BED, TO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM. HE IS SLOWLY ATTEMPTING TO DEVOUR HER.
WITH ONE QUICK MOTION SHE STABS THE PIPE INTO HIS EYE BEFORE REMOVING IT AND SPRINTING FROM THE ROOM.
CUT TO
EXT – FRANKIES APARTMENT – NIGHT
THE POLICE BEGIN TO LOOK WARY AS THE FLAME FROM THE PIPE BEGIN TO ENGULF THE CURTAINS, SLOWLY SPREADING THROUGHOUT THE APARTMENT.
CUT TO.

EXT – FRANKIES APARTMENT – NIGHT

CUT TO.
INT – FRANKIES APARTMENT – NIGHT
FAITH IS LYING ON THE FLOOR COUGHING HARD
THE PIPER – BLINDED – STEPS FROM THE BEDROOM AND BOOTS HER IN THE STOMACH BEFORE GRABBING HIS PIPE AND HEADING OUT OF THE APARTMENT WITH EASE.
CUT TO.
EXT – BOSTON STREET – NIGHT
GARRISON IS STRUGGLING A SINGLE STEP LET ALONE THE MILE LONG WALK TO TARA’S HOUSE.
HE STOPS BRIEFLY OUTSIDE OF PIPERS BAR TO CATCH HIS BREATH. HE IS SO CONFUSED AND LACKING OF BLOOD THAT HE FAILS TO NOTICE HIS SURROUNDINGS NOR THE FIGURE WALKING TOWARD HIM.
GARRISON
(splurt)
Hey – Hey man, can I borrow your phone
AS THE FIGURE STEPS CLOSER – GARRISON CAN SEE MORE CLEARLY, THE PIPER STANDS OVER HIM HAPPILY AS HE DROPS THE BODY OF A POLICEMAN ONTO THE FLOOR.
CUT TO.
INT – TARAS HOUSE – NIGHT
CONNOR, RYAN & MARIA ARE STILL CLEANING WOUNDS AS A WHITE FLASH ERRUPTS FROM THE MUSICAL BOX TO REVEAL THE TRAVELLERS.
CONNOR
Anything?
DAWN
Nothing, you?
RYAN
Nothing
(beat)
Any trouble?
DAWN
One beast
RYAN
Are you okay? Why did you tell me to stay behind?
DAWN
Because I needed you here in case
(pause)
In case something went wrong
TARA
We know how to destroy Casey
RYAN
How? Where is she?
DANSON
That’s the part that we’re unsure of
MARIA
No idea?
DAWN
Zip
ANDREW
Um, well, I know where I’d be if I were here
CUT TO.
INT – PIPERS – NIGHT
GARRISON IS FLOPPED UNDER A TABLE IN THE CORNER OF THE ROOM AS THE PIPER STANDS AT THE BAR
HE CONTINUES TO POUR AS LIGHT FLCIKERS AROUND THE ROOM. CASEY APPEARS – ANGRY.
PIPER
Wondered when you’d show
CUT TO.
EXT – STREETS OF BOSTON – NIGHT
DAWN, DARREN, RYAN, CONNOR & DANSON MARCH DOWN THE STREET, TOWARD PIPERS.
CUT TO.
EXT – PIPERS BACK ALLEY - NIGHT
ANDREW, MARIA & TARA SIT IN THE CAR PATIENTLY
ANDREW
I’m bored
MARIA
That’s a good thing
TARA
It’s better to be bored and live than actually get asked to fight as emergency back up and die.
ANDREW
I guess
CUT TO.
INT – PIPERS – NIGHT
THE PIPER STANDS OPPOSITE CASEY, BOTH CIRCLING EACHOTHER READY FOR A SHOWDOWN AS THE PIPER BLOWS HIS TUNE AND HIS DEMONS COME FROM ALL CORNERS OF THE ROOM.
BEFORE EITHER OF THEM CAN MAKE A FIRST MOVE THE CAVALRY SWINGS THROUGH THE DOOR.
DAWN IS FULL OF RAGE AS SHE STORMS STRAIGHT OVER TO ONE OF THE DEMONS THAT’S GUARDING THE PIPER – SHE SWINGS THE SWORD AND IMMEDIATELY REMOVES IT’S HEAD.
DAWN
Where’s Faith?
SHE STANDS WITH THE SWORD CLOSE TO THE PIPERS NECK.
PIPER
Think that will kill me? I’d say she was the one you have the problem with
DAWN LOOKS SHARPLY AT CASEY BEFORE NODDING AT DARREN WHO RUNS TO THE BACK DOOR TO SIGNAL THE OTHER THREE.
DAWN
Don’t piss me off more than I already am
THE PIPER GRABS DAWN BY THE NECK AND THROWS HER ACROSS THE ROOM. WITH THIS RYAN MENTALLY PINS HIM TO THE GROUND AS CONNOR LEAPS ON TOP AND BEGINS TO PUNCH HIM HARD.
THE PIPE ROLLS ACROSS THE ROOM AND LANDS AT CASEY’S FEET.
CASEY
Ooh…a toy!
PIPER
No!
SHE STAMPS DOWN HARD ON IT CAUSING THE PIPER TO SHATTER. BLINDING LIGHT BURSTS FROM THE CENTRE AS THE PIPERS SKIN BEGINS TO SPLIT AS IF HACKED AT BY A LARGE KNIFE.
THE DEMONS REVERT BACK TO HUMAN CHILDREN INSTANTLY.
DAWN
(Weak)
Get them away from here!
CUT TO.
EXT – FRANKIES APARTMENT – NIGHT
A BLACK BODY BAG IS CARRIED OUT ON A STRETCHER.

Clothes and body both badly burnt though forensics and witnesses are almost certain that it’s her.
CUT TO.
INT – PIPERS BAR – NIGHT
MARIA & TARA REMOVE ALL THE CHILDREN. DAWN AND THE OTHERS REMAIN WITH CASEY.
CASEY HOLDS HER HANDS OUT INFRONT OF HER AS THE MUSICAL BOX APPEARS IN HER HANDS.
CASEY
Look what you left all unguarded.
DAWN NODS TO RYAN WHO IMMEDIATELY SWIPES THE BOX FROM CASEY’S HANDS INTO DAWNS.
RUNNING – DAWN SPRINTS THROUGH TO THE KITCHEN.
FURIOUS, CASEY LIFTS FROM THE GROUND – ENERGY FLINGS FROM ALL AROUND HER CAUSING EVERYONE TO CRASH OUTWARDS. DARREN & CONNOR LAND BY THE STAGE AS RYAN LANDS ON TOP OF THE PIPER.
DANSON LANDS BY THE DOOR AS ANDREW IS FLUNG, CRASHING DOWN ONTO A TABLE WHERE HE ROLLS OVER LAYING HIS EYES ON A VERY DEAD GARRISON.
CUT TO.
INT – PIPERS KITCHEN – NIGHT
CASEY GLIDES AFTER A RUNNING DAWN, WHO SLIPS OVER AND LETS THE BOX SLIP FROM HER HANDS TO THE DOORWAY OF THE MEAT LOCKER.
CASEY
Clumsy!
AS CASEY FLOATS DOWN ONTO OF DAWN AND WRAPS HER SURPRISINGLY STRONG HANDS AROUND HER NECK, DAWN REACHES FOR ANY UTENSIL SHE CAN.
THE NEAREST IS A SPLINTERED WOODEN SPOON WHICH, USING ALL OF HER STRENGTH, SHE STABS INTO CASEY’S SIDE.
LEAPING OFF IN PAIN, CASEY STANDS IN THE DOORWAY OF THE MEATLOCKER AND EYES MUSICAL BOX.
IN ONE SWIFT MOVE, DAWN KICKS HER IN AND LOCKS THE DOOR, MOVING THE DIAL TO INSTANT FREEZE.
SHE WATCHES THROUGH THE WINDOW AS CASEY WRITHES IN PAIN.
DAWN
(sincere)
Sorry
END OF PART THREE
INT – PIPERS – NIGHT
ANDREW
No, No
(shaking)
Stop it! Wake up – wake up! Stop be stupid stop messing around
DARREN AND DANSON ATTEMPT TO PULL ANDREW AWAY FROM THE SITE OF THE BATTERED BODY. HE IS KICKING AND SCREAMING AND VIOLENTLY SHAKING.
DAWN WALKS IN FROM VIA THE KITCHEN
DAWN
What’s…
SHE STOPS AT THE SIGHT AND SIMPLY LOOKS DOWN TO THE FLOOR – ALL THOUGHTS LOST.
DAWN
(softly)
Get him out of here
DISSOLVE TO.
DAWN & CONNOR REMAIN IN THE ROOM – GARRISON BODY IS STILL IN THE CORNER. DAWN’ BLOOD IS SMEARED BY THE KITCHEN DOOR FROM THE ATTACK.
RYAN STIRS – HE COMES ROUND, COVERED IN THE PIPERS BLOOD. DAWN HAS SLIGHTLY CLEANED UP.
RYAN
What happened?
THEY SAY NOTHING AS RYAN NOTICES HIS BEST FRIEND SLUMPED IN THE CORNER. IN A DESPERATE STATE, RYAN CRAWLS OVER TO THE BODY, CRADLING HIM IN HIS LAP
RYAN
No…No…he can’t …he
(hush)
Can’t
RYAN STEPS BACK IN SHOCK, BLOOD OF HIS FRIEND SMEARED ON HIS HANDS.
DAWN
I…I’m sorry
RYAN
It’s not you fault
DAWN
I killed Casey and…the piper
RYAN
Good!
THE THREE STAND IN SILENCE AS TENS OVER TENS OF POLICEMEN BUNDLE THROUGH THE DOOR.
RYAN IS STOOD WITH THEM, COVERED IN BLOOD OVER THE BODY.

CONNOR
Why’d you do it?
RYAN DOESN’T ANSWER
CONNOR
The police know about this stuff Ryan you didn’t need to take the fall
(Pause)
You had so much going for you, college, and work, D…
RYAN
(Numb)
Everything but the girl
CONNOR LOOKS SHOCKED, BLINKING TO REGISTER.
RYAN
You think I’d really tell them that she done the killing?
CONNOR IS ABOUT TO REACT AS DAWN WALKS THROUGH HOLDING TWO COFFEES.
RYAN STANDS TO HIS FEET AND HOLDS THE PHONE, WHISPERING TO CONNOR
RYAN
Take care of her!
WITH THAT HE HANGS UP THE PHONE AND WALKS BACK TO HIS CELL LEAVING CONNOR SPEECHLESS ON THE OTHER END OF THE PHONE.
END.
