The Creature Below Page #2

Synopsis: During a traumatic accident whilst on a deep-sea dive in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, Olive, a gifted, young marine-biologist discovers an unearthly creature. Loosing her dream job, Olive smuggles the creature home, intent on studying it in her basement, unbeknownst to her devoted boyfriend Matt. Whilst struggling to re-adjust to landlocked life and recover from her recent trauma, Olive begins to realize that she and the creature share a symbiotic bond that drives her to carry out its sinister will. Plagued by gruesome nightmares, her fractured memories of what happened during the accident in the depths of the ocean begin to unravel and reveal an eldritch horror far older and malevolent than she could ever imagine, one which she has unwittingly set free. Olive's obsession leads to madness as her discovery consumes her entire humanity, with deadly results for those around her.

You can have my pass.

No one will know.

- Thanks.

You've got to eat something.

Ellena.

- If you don't want

me to borrow his bike

he shouldn't of

left the keys in it.

- You could've been arrested.

- The Cambodia police

aren't as uptight as here.

- She's a wild one your sister.

Your turn.

Aw, she's a cheat, that's the

second time you've had me.

- Skilled.

See?

Now.

- Oh no.

No, no.

- Oh yes.

I think so.

- It's a gift.

- A gift, don't be impolite.

- You are a bad influence.

- No she's good for you.

If I smell like a press.

What's this?

- You've trained him well.

You gonna marry him then?

- We're not like that.

Ellie.

- Still.

He's hot though.

Mamma always said

you had a good eye.

- I miss her.

- Me too.

Matty!

Hurry up!

My sister needs a drink.

- Can you hear that?

- Are you okay?

- I'm bleeding.

- Yeah, let me help.

Here, help me.

- Hello?

- What have

you got in your basement?

- Fletcher.

- You took

something from my dive.

That research belongs to me,

you are in serious

sh*t little girl.

- Dr. Fletcher, I don't

what you think you've heard

but I don't have--

- don't

lie to me, olive.

Dara told me everything,

you are a thief.

- Dara?

- You

have a new species.

You bring that creature

to me right now

or I'll come bang at

your door with the police

and a team full of lawyers.

You'll never dive

again you little thief.

You have one hour.

- Everything alright?

- I need to go into work.

- Today?

But we're all going out.

- Well somebody has

to pay the bills.

- Calm down.

- And what are your

plans for today?

More slacking off?

After you've eaten

more of my food.

- Olive.

- For your information,

i was gonna take you out.

To say thanks.

But you can stuff it.

- What's wrong with you?

Ellie, wait.

- What's the matter?

This is as fresh as I can get.

Fletcher.

- Is that the spawn?

That creature belongs to me.

- Get away from there.

You're hurting it.

- It was you who showed me.

- It's mine!

- You don't

even know what you have.

- You're

wrong, Fletcher.

I have a way to feed it.

- She owes me an apology.

- Leave out of it, Ellie.

Come on.

- It was just a joke.

Lighten up.

She needs to bring

it down a peg or two.

What does she even do all day?

She thinks she's so important.

- I dunno.

- You don't know a lot

about your girlfriend?

Too bad.

- And where are you going?

- I'm gonna find out

what's down there.

- You can't, it's her work.

- Hey!

What are you doing down here?

- Getting your attention.

- You can't be down here.

- Hey, you're hurting me.

- You can't be down here.

- What's wrong with you?

I came to help you.

You've lost a lot, even

Matt thinks you're crazy.

- Matt said that?

- As good as.

What's happened to you?

And what are you

doing down here?

- It's called work, sis.

Maybe you should

try it sometime.

- You're not as special

as what you think

you are, olive.

- It's okay.

No one's going to

hurt you again.

- I like your sister but,

it's nice just the two of us.

Don't feel like I've

seen you in ages.

- My work's important.

- I know.

I know.

Ellie didn't break

anything did she?

She's a wild one your sister.

Uncontrollable.

You know my work's pretty

busy at the moment.

Yeah this there's

little old lady.

Ms. Jones.

She's almost 90 but,

she doesn't have long left.

We're monitoring

around the clock.

She's mute.

Can't communicate her off.

Can't make a sound.

It's sad.

- Very sad.

- Local

experts inform the council

yet again about the severe

weather set to hit the coast

in the next few days.

Residents and flood

risk areas are advised

to take necessary precautions

in the events of flooding.

- What are you doing?

I didn't expect this.

You here for lunch?

- You left your ID.

- You came all

this way for that?

- Thought you'd need it.

- No I,

I do, thanks.

Do you wanna come for lunch?

- I can't.

- You know what Dr.

Fletcher was like, Oliver,

he just keeps on

pushing and pushing.

He just constantly and

he wouldn't let up but,

I didn't mean to

let anything out.

I'm sorry.

I screwed up.

I haven't seen Fletcher

since I told him.

Did you know there was

a fire on the boat?

I'll do anything I can to help.

It's pretty dark in here, olive.

- Over here.

Children grow up so fast.

- Oh my god.

- Fletcher was wrong

to try and take it from me.

You should never separate

a mother from her child.

- You okay?

- This f***ing wine.

- What's wrong?

- A patient went missing today.

I'm really worried about her.

- Sh*t.

- Management is starting

to point fingers.

They say it's my fault.

I could lose my job.

- I'm sure everything

will be fine.

Here.

Have a beer instead.

- I'm leaving tomorrow.

- What? Why?

- I'm a traveler.

Gotta keep rolling.

- I'll be working tomorrow.

- Then I guess this is goodbye.

- We should have a drink.

- I don't feel like it.

- Oh come on,

don't be like that.

Forget about the red.

We got white.

I could open the white.

Let's have a drink,

it'll be a laugh.

- Okay.

- They fired me.

- What is it?

Let me see.

I can't believe it.

I can't believe it.

I have to tell them.

Matt.

Ellie, Matt.

- Olive.

- You b*tch.

Let me go.

You're crazy, let me go!

- Ow!

You're my sister.

My own flesh and blood.

- What are you doing?

Let me go.

Matt needs help!

- He needs nothing.

- Olive!

Let me out you crazy b*tch.

Olive!

Come on!

- Olive.

- Olive.

Olive!

Where is she?

- No.

- You attacked me.

How could you do that?

To me.

- You love her.

- Ellena?

- Matt!

Matt.

Matt.

No!

- Come on.

- Stop taking

up, where are you?

- Olive!

- Be quiet.

She needs rest.

- What the f*** is that?

- She's a god.

A god I command.

She won't hurt you

unless I want her to.

At first I was overwhelmed.

It's a merciful thing.

The inability of the

human mind to correlate

all its contents.

But now I understand.

They have slumbered for ions

down there.

In the dark below.

Waiting to be awoken.

They chose me.

- You've gone f***ing mental.

- How dare you.

I was going to

share this with you.

- You're a murderer.

- I did what was

deemed to be done.

- You killed Matt.

- A necessary sacrifice.

He would not of survived

what is to come.

Let me show you.

- Olive, don't.

It'll kill you.

What are you doing in there?

What is that?

- Our future.

Your future.

We live on a placid

island of ignorance.

In the mists of black

seas of infinity.

And it was not meant that

we should voyage far.

But I have seen beyond

the bounds of infinity.

And drawn down demons

from the start.

I have harnessed the

shadows that stride

from world to world.

To sew death and madness.

- Olive.

You need to put that back.

- She won't ever hurt me.

- Is everyone okay?

I can hear an awful noise.

- Get me out of here.

- Hang on, darling.

I can't see a bloody thing.

- Ms. crown I'm sorry

but we've checked the basement,
