Cherry Tree Page #3

Synopsis: Faith's world is turned upside down after she finds out that her beloved father is dying. When the mysteriously alluring Sissy Young becomes her field hockey coach, Faith finds a compassionate spirit and much-needed mother figure. Little does she know that Sissy is the head of a centuries-old witches' coven that uses the fruit of an ancient cherry tree in a secret ritual that restores life to the dead and dying. Offering to cure her father in exchange for a child, Sissy strikes a bargain with Faith, who suddenly finds herself pregnant with a baby that's growing at an alarming rate. But with the clock to the child's birth ticking down and the true intention of Sissy's plans for humanity becoming more apparent, Faith and her father must stand together in order to save both their lives.

- Sit down.

- I don't know what to say.

I'm, I'm just feeling

so good lately.

- I'm pregnant, Dad.

- Is this a joke?

You wanna tell me about it?

- There's nothing to say.

I'm pregnant, I just

thought you should know.

- You're sixteen, Faith.

Who's the boy?

Are you gonna tell him?

- No.

- I'm recovering from

a serious illness, Faith.

What if it comes back?

What if I die?

- That won't happen.

- You don't know that.

- I do.

- I need to think about this.

- You shouldn't have told him.

- You shouldn't have f***ed him.

- You know, Sean is a,

he's a wonderful man.

Be heartbreaking if he

were to get ill again,

wouldn't it?

- And what D'you think would

happen to the baby then?

I'll do what I want.

- Alright, Faith.

Have a look at this.

- It's Brian.

- Mm-hmm.

- You did this?

- When you two were together

he was possessed

by another being.

Tends to be an

overwhelming experience.

The thing is he's gone.

Sean was dead.

For him to be alive again

someone else had to die.

It's the way it works.

- You said if I had a baby...

- I did, didn't I?

- But before you get

too upset about it,

remember this is

what you wanted.

Let's stick to the plan

from now on, shall we?

- Hey, Faith.

Is everything okay?

- Well, no, not exactly.

- Can I help?

- Um, could you

come over tonight?

I need to talk to you

about something.

Okay, great.

Thanks.

He should be back soon.

Never strays too far from

home on his day off.

D'you want some tea?

Thanks for coming over.

I wanted to ask you

if dad and I went away,

would you look after

the restaurant?

Probably heard I'm...

- Yeah.

None of my business.

She's an obstetrician.

- Thanks.

- Is there someone...

- It's time to go now.

- I'm staying here, thanks.

- Are you threatening her?

You've no right to be here.

- It's unfortunate that

you're here, Claire.

I want you to know

that I'm truly sorry.

- No.

No, no!

No, no, no, no!

No!

Get off me!

- You're halfway

through your term, Faith.

You need to sleep now.

- Dad.

Dad, wake up.

Dad.

Dad, please.

Please, wake up, please.

Dad, I have to go for help.

Okay?

I'll come back for you, I swear.

- Jeremy, downstairs.

That's not what I asked.

Jeremy, everything is ready.

I mean, every single

thing is ready.

No, no.

That's not good enough.

You go back, you check

everything and you come back

and you tell me that

everything is in place.

Six weeks, six days, six hours.

We have to be ready.

She is very close and

she is going to wake soon.

- Mrs. Fincher, can I go

to the bathroom, please?

- Two minutes.

- Where the f*** have you

been for three weeks?

And how come you're pregnant?

- Three weeks?

- How come you're pregnant?

And where's Brian?

- Amy, I'm in trouble.

- No kidding.

- Please.

- Faith, you're my friend.

Here, put this on.

How D'you know I was

gonna be in detention?

- Smart guess.

- Sh*t.

- F***.

Amy.

Amy!

- Come on.

Go, go, go.

- Amy, Amy, Amy.

Get off the bike.

No, get off!

Go.

- Amy, f***!

F***! F***.

- Oh, Amy, the baby's coming.

The baby's coming.

I have to push.

I have to push.

[Ewing, groaning]

- Okay.

Lay down.

Are you okay?

- Water.

Get me some water.

- Water.

- Water.

- Damn.

- Get me up, get me up,

get me up.

- Okay-

It's alright.

Give me your weight.

- I need to push, I need to push.

- Okay, okay, okay.

- Take my pants off,

take my pants off.

- Okay, okay.

Good girl, okay.

I'm here.

I'm here for you.

I'm here, Faith.

I'm here, Faith.

Again, again, again.

- Oh my God.

Just keep pushing.

- Keep pushing, Faith.

- I can't.

- Come on, keep pushing.

Come on.

Hang on.

I need to get some stuff

to look after you.

If I go to the shop,

will you be okay?

- Thank you.

- It's nothing.

Be back soon.

- Faith?

Faith?!

Faith!

We had an agreement, Faith.

I cured your father,

now you have to give me the baby.

If I kill him, it's for good.

Have it your way.

' Stop!

- Good girl.

Oh, Faith.

- Dad.

Dad, are you okay?

Did they hurt you?

Dad?

Dad, it's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

- Here is our future.

- Our key to the dark life.

- Get off.

- Dad. Dad.

Get up.

- His blood will set us free

and bring the Underworld

to our service.

Our time has almost come.

- Dad, are you okay?

Dad!

- We must make

the final sacrifice.

- Jeremy, no!

Jeremy!

- Jeremy, what are you doing?

Jeremy, no!

- Oh, f***!

- Get out.

- Dad... Dad...

- Faith.

She cheated us, Faith.

She cheated you and me.

And now she plans

to kill the child.

Don't let her do it.

I can enter the realm

but not the Chamber.

You can.

You can save him.

You must save him.

- Brothers and sisters,

tonight we end the journey.

When I came back among you,

you reached down to the world

beneath and drew up its power,

its familiars.

They served us

and we served their master.

I reject the good.

I reject the light.

I embrace the dark.

I embrace the night.

I bleed this body

to free ourselves

No more mortals, weak and cowed.

We will walk the night,

strong and proud.

Death is the beginning

of everything.

Death is the beginning

of everything.

Death is the beginning

of everything.

I embrace the dark.

I embrace the night.

I reject the good.

I reject the light.

I embrace the dark.

I embrace the night.

I reject the good.

I reject the light.

I embrace the dark.

I embrace the night.

I reject the good.

I reject the light.

- We're gonna bleed you

and your baby.

You f***ing b*tch.

- We gave him his child

and now I sell myself.

I will drink his child's blood

and I will transform.

I will become Queen

of the Underworld.

Join me, and let our

bodies rot and die.

And in the first rays

of the coming day

our new skin

will change forever.

I reject the good.

I reject the light.

I embrace the dark.

I embrace the night.

I reject the good.

I reject the light.

I embrace the dark.

I embrace the night.

I reject the good.

I reject the light.

I embrace the dark.

I embrace the night.

I reject the good.

I reject the light.

I embrace the dark.

I embrace the night.

I bleed this body of its life

to free us of what

we used to be.

No more mortals, weak and cowed.

We will walk the night,

strong and proud.

- Death...

- is the beginning

- Death...

- is the beginning.

- Death...

- is the beginning.

- Death...

- is the beginning.

- Death...

- is the beginning.

- Death...

- is the beginning.

- Death...

- is the beginning.

- Death...

- is the beginning.

- of everything.

- Bleed, bleed, bleed, bleed...

- No! No!

No!

- Why aren't you dead?

Are you stealing my property?

- How could you kill a baby?

- The child's blood is imbued

with the power

of the Underworld.

When the sun rises,

the process will be complete.

We will renew, and the day

and the night will be ours.

We will be the greatest

of witches.

Unrivaled.

Immortal.

The child's remains must stay

inside the Cherry Tree.

Give it... back!

Stop her!

- Faith.
