SEQ. 081 - Factory Chase
SEQ. 081 - INT. FACTORY - CONTINUOUS
9 and 5 hurry forward towards 2.
They find 2, seemingly lifeless.
5 (cont’d)
(deep regret)
I shouldn’t have waited...
9 stands compassionately, respecting 5’s grief. 5 pats 2’sshoulder.
At the pat, 2 blinks awake.
2
(whispers)
I knew you would come...
5
I thought-2
(cutting him off)
Shhh...
5 and 9 try to pry the bars open. 2 tries to help. They
just manage to pry the bars open and get 2 out when-Suddenly
a light SHINES above them. They look up and see -The
Cat Beast beaming his light from his eye. It GROWLS.
The three dolls run away frantically. The Cat Beast chases
after them.
9 gets cornered but swipes the Beast and manages to escape.
9 jumps a heap of debris but stumbles. 5 and 2 pull him up
to higher ground.
5 shoots his crossbow at the Cat Beast, shattering his eye.
2 manages to hide in a tube.
9 and 5 run away but get stuck at the end of a table.
The Cat Beast slashes his claw at them.
31.
They climb onto another piece of debris, only to encounterthe Cat Beast, now in front of them.
The Cat Beast slashes a claw out and knocks them over. The
Cat Beast moves closer and closer. They are doomed.
Suddenly there is a strange rhythmic moaning sound. The Cat
Beast turns, distracted.
We pan over and see a mysterious creature that seems to behalf ragdoll, half bird, with a bird-skull head swinging aweapon over its head. THIS IS 7. 7 releases the weapon--astrap of leather with weighted shot at either end. The
weapon flies through the air with a low whooshing sound andstrikes the Cat Beast, entangling it.
7, 5, and 9 now charge the Cat Beast. 5 shoots his crossbow,
entangling the Beast’s paw and hobbling it. 9 and 2 both
LURE THE CAT BEAST IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, deliberatelygoading and further causing it to become entangled in themachinery. 7 now leaps up over the Beast and brings thefull weight of her spear down on the Cat Beast’s neck. The
head of the Beast comes off and lands at their feet.
7 now pulls off her bird-skull helmet.
5
7!
2
You weren’t lost-
5
You’ve come back!
7
I never left. YOU finally decidedto join the fight.
She hands 5’s map back to him.
9 comes over with her shield (lost during the fight). 7
looks 9 over.
7 (cont’d)
I think I know why.
They move towards her but she turns and looks at 9. 2 and 5
nod proudly towards 9. 7 nods.
They all look at the fallen Cat Beast.
2 is poking at it:
32.
2
Rusty... hacked together... shoddypile of scrap.
They all turn to leave. 5 and 7 support 2 on either side ofhim, helping 2 along. 9 hangs back to look at the machineagain, and suddenly sees the TALISMAN, lying on the floor.
5, 7, and 2 have continued on without him and do not see himas he picks it up.
9 looks at the strange object with ENORMOUS CURIOSITY. He
turns it and see the RUNES on the side of it. He turns and
inspects it closely. He turns and discovers, on themachine, a PORT with the SAME RUNES.
9
(blurting out)
Look!
The others now turn to see him. They see him holding thetalisman close to the machine’s port... about toexperimentally put the talisman INTO the port.
2
No! Stop! NO!
2 tries to break free and stagger towards him but it is toolate. 9 puts the talisman into the port.
Nothing happens for a moment.
Then suddenly, horribly, the ground begins to SHAKE.
...........................................................
SEQ. 082 - Fabrication Machine
SEQ. 082 - INT. FACTORY - CONTINUOUS
Suddenly the Cat Beast’s dead body begins to SHIFT andMOVE... There is a rumbling from beneath it as...
... a LARGE FORM rises up from under the debris.
ANGLE on the machine awakening: movement under the cloth, aclaw-like appendage rising from the rubble.
7
Quickly! Run! Get away!
33.
They try to climb to safer ground from the tumbling debris.
2 is thrown back and LANDS hard.
A mechanical ARM emerges and PINS 7, 9, and 5.
As dust and debris rain down, we see one hideous RED EYEbegin to come up.
As 2 tries to scramble to safety, the other three ragdolls,
pinned by the mechanical arm, stare in horror. We see that
the “pile of Machinery” has risen to reassemble into anmonstrous, towering FABRICATION MACHINE attached to theceiling of the building.
It is enormous, a spherical shape with a dozen foldedappendages, each with different fabrication tools at the endof its long spindly robotic arms.
2 tries to crawl away but the Machine grabs him with hisrobotic arm.
The Machine points the talisman towards 2 and it OPENS up toa sparking green glow. 2 struggles in the Machine’s claw butthe strange green energy SHOOTS directly into 2’s mouth andeyes, painfully his soul.
ANGLE on 2 as his soul is being taken.
2 slumps over, his LIFELESS CARCASS smoking in the grip ofthe Machine.
ANGLE on the green glow as it PASSES into the machine. The
sound has drawn its attention. The Machine turns towards
them and grabs at them with its enormous claw. 9, 5, and 7turn and flee.
The Fabrication Machine’s arms chase after them. 5 shoots
his grappling hook onto a switch. 9 and 7 grab onto him.
Frantically working together, the three of them manage toescape the Machine’s horrifying arms. [**Important to makesure the Machine is understood to be tethered to the
Factory.]
They see in the distance a pipe that leads out.
In the Machine’s RED POV, they run into it just as the
Machine’s arm is behind them but can’t fit into the hole.

9, 5, AND 7
9, 5, and 7 escape out a long tube that leads out from thefactory and JUMP behind a small trench.
5
(heartbroken)
My poor old friend...
7 puts a consoling hand on his shoulder.
7
(shaking her head)
I know.
(turning on 9)
What? What on earth were you
thinking?
9
(just as devastated)
I didn’t know... I’m sorry...
He stares in horror at the factory.
9 (cont’d)
What WAS that? What is it doing?
They are interrupted by a loud whirring sound from themachinery inside the factory. They whirl around, then stareat each other, horrified.
9 (cont’d)
What will it do now?
5 shakes his head miserably.
7 looks at them.
7
Let’s go.
35.
She strides off. 9 follows. 5 turns, grieving, towards thefactory, head bowed. He hesitates, then goes after 9 and 7.
