Let Us Prey Page #4

Synopsis: Rachel, a rookie cop, is about to begin her first night shift in a neglected police station in a Scottish, backwater town. The kind of place where the tide has gone out and stranded a motley bunch of the aimless, the forgotten, the bitter-and-twisted who all think that, really, they deserve to be somewhere else. They all think they're there by accident and that, with a little luck, life is going to get better. Wrong, on both counts. Six is about to arrive - and All Hell Will Break Loose!

Okay.

- So he had an accident.

- Yes.

Good Girl.

That's Caesar.

Thinks we're running

room service or something.

You tell him to calm his act

or I'll come down there

and calm it for him, okay?

Okay! What is it?

What do you want?

To confess.

I hit her. I hit a girl.

- What?

- I Don't know.

I don't know who she is.

I've seen her at school, okay.

But I hit her, alright?

I hit her. I confess.

Okay, when?

The blood you found on the

headlight, yeah, remember?

That wasn't his. It was hers.

She still might be okay.

I didn't mean to, I didn't even see her.

I swear, I went off the road.

Christ! What was she even doing strolling

up a country road in the dead of night?

Okay, Caesar, you

need to listen to me.

Tell me all the details, okay?

Then I can put a call in.

I wouldn't bother.

She died two minutes ago.

- How would you know that?

- He knows. He knows everything!

You've just crossed a line, Caesar.

Alright, enough with the act.

- Just tell me who you are.

- You know who I am.

You just neglected to stay in touch.

Remember?

Ding dong.

They're up there now, planning.

Planning your murder.

Rachel,

I'm the only one in your corner.

All I'm saying is, who'd have believed

a word Caesar ever said, and...

that guy in six,

doesn't even have a f***ing name.

I know. Something about him...

Okay, first things first.

The new girl.

You up for that?

- I was up for Mulvey, but...

- Yeah, and you were definately up for Hume just now.

He f***ing deserved it!

Look, we have to get our story straight.

It's gotta be just you and me.

No witnesses.

No crime.

This was just... bad situation.

It got out of hand.

Everybody died.

Except you and me.

F***.

F***.

- Hello?

- Everybody home, Constable?

Yeah, sure. Will do, Sarge.

- What did Caesar want?

- Oh God, you know,

just wondering if we've got

soy milk for his morning latte.

- Kid's such a little prick.

- Yeah.

Harmless really, though. I mean it's

not like he's trying to kill someone,

to save his own skin.

What the f***'s going on, Heggie?

I wish you hadn't brought him into this.

An old man like that.

Jack!

- Get over here!

- F***, I can't see!

My f***ing eyes!

Screw you! I'll cremate you.

Which one of you fucks called me "old"?

- Sarge!

- What the f***?

I have to say, I haven't been

entirely honest with you, Jack.

On the other hand, you haven't been

entirely straight with me either.

So why am I confessing to you?

What is happening up there?

What is it with this f***ing town?

I'm afraid I can only

speak for myself, Constable.

But I must say my religious leanings

have been somwhat of a mask

for what you might call my real interests.

Not that I'm not a Christian man.

In fact, that's why I've come.

To renew my faith.

"Marvel not at this"

"For the hour is coming,"

"In which all that are in their

graves shall hear his voice,"

"And shall come forth."

"They that have done good,

unto the resurrection of life."

"And they that have done evil,"

"Into the resurrection of damnation."

Watch it!

- We need to get out of here!

- You think?

Sh*t!

Come on!

What the f*** did you do that for?

- There's no rear exit.

- There's no access to the roof?

F***.

- Come on!

- You've reached emergency services.

All operators are busy at present.

- Please hold, We will connect you...

- Sh*t!

F***.

You have a battering ram here?

Of course you do!

Okay.

That thing's a two handed tool. He's

going to have to drop his gun to swing it.

- Right?

- So what?

So he's going to break through,

but he's going to be unarmed.

- Then we can get him.

- No, He can f*** that noise!

Come on!

Oh sh*t, what now?

There's no lock on this side.

- He shot me.

- Call it "Karma".

A few dents in the armor there, huh?

- I like it. Looks good on you.

- Will somebody please just...

Let me think!

Oh God. no no no ...

There's no help there.

You never thought of living around here,

somewhere a little closer to home?

Alright. So go ahead, please!

- Do something!

- I am.

- What gives you the right?

- An eternity.

Faith. Is that what you want,

and some dogma?

To forgive is divine?

To forgive is to ignore.

Condone!

A friend of mine used to say to me,

human sin is as old as the world.

And I was supposed to

just sit there and watch?

We couldn't agree on that one.

F***ing semantics!

Except I lost, and the loser

doesn't get to go home.

That's why we're the same, you and me.

We're cast out.

At least down here we get to do some good.

This is good?

In the face of that,

what would you call it?

What the f***?

- Sh*t, he came back!

- Help me up.

Mundie!

"And he carried me away in the Spirit"

"In to the wilderness."

- It's not good news.

- "And I saw a woman"

"Sit upon a scarlet colored beast,"

"Full of the names of blasphemy"

"Seven heads, and ten horns."

F***! Get me out of here!

For Christ's sake, open up!

Oh Jesus!

- We can't stay here.

- What're we do?

Call yourself a survivor?

You're a predator.

Forget them, their fates are sealed.

Now do you want to burn with them, or

are you gonna help me feed the flames.

I don't need your help.

Just say the word and

I'll handle it right now.

I can't. I won't leave them here.

Come on, come on.

Thanks, but I think I'll hang.

I kinda like the weather.

This would be easier if we had a hose pipe.

Move!

Better?

We get up there, we're on our own.

One of us is bound to make it.

So who's going first?

Oh, for f*** sake!

"For a fire is kindled in mine anger"

"And shall burn unto the lowest hell,"

"And shall consume the earth

with it's increase,"

"And set on fire the

foundations of the mountains."

"And the wrath of the Lord Almighty"

"The land of hope is scorched"

"And the people will be feeble,

with the fire."

Amen.

A tough night, huh?

And you do like to do things the hard way.

But then, you've been to

hell and back already.

For them, it's the first time.

Bastards,

every last one.

At midnight, when the wicked

must pay for their sins,

It's me who comes to collect.

From the adulterers and betrayers,

who dare to weigh justice

in their own hands.

From the hypocrites,

and perverts,

the cowardly, and the visious,

even those who still had a chance,

but were too weak to take it.

All I wanted from them, was their souls.

You though,

I want so much more from you.

- I never asked you for anything.

- Oh, I think you did.

I think you beged.

I didn't see a victim.

I saw so much more.

So I watched.

And I waited.

People like to blame me,

but I'm just a witness.

The things that I see

would make angels weep.

And they have wept.

This is about you.

Now you can deny me all you want,

but I am the fire in your eyes.

I can give you every

corrupt and wicked soul,

who will ever walk this earth.

You can have your vengence,

and I will burn their souls.

Because, the truth is,

it's a cold place without you.

Heaven in Hell

for ever and ever.

Just say the word.

Yes!
