The White Angel

---

1 TITLES - The sound of a woman walking on a deserted street

2 EXT NIGHT STREET - FADE UP - We see a woman's feet wearing red stiletto

shoes. It is late at night and she is very alone.

She turns a bend and enters a darkened street, her heels making a

distinctive click on the path.

Suddenly we see a figure in the darkness - the womans pauses for a beat

before continuing. She approaches the figure who is dressed in a heavy

motorbike jacket... The figure turns round - it is a girl with bleached

blonde hair, wearing a low cut, tight white T Shirt. The white seems to

glow a little.

Without warning, the WOMAN produces a hammer from her bag and raises it

above BLONDE...

Screams....

FADE TO BLACK - TITLES

3 EXT NIGHT PARK - The young BLONDE lies motionless on the floor, most of

her clothes ripped from her still body. The sound of digging can be

heard, then of a knife being unsheathed.

Her body is dragged out of shot...

FADE TO BLACK - TITLES

4 EXT DAY PARK - A dog is digging at the ground.

It's MISTRESS calls out for the dog.

Suddenly, the dog bounds over a ridge, his tail wagging furiously,

doggy has fetched the bone - a human foot and half a calf is wedged

firmly in it's jaw. It runs to it's MISTRESS...

FADE TO BLACK - TITLES

5 EXT DAY PARK - An area has been sectioned off with red tape. Several

men in dark clothing are digging carefully at the ground. Already

several small flags indicate finds, small body bags can be seen to

contain various appendages.

A man steps into shot, wrinkled brow and piercing eyes. He lights a

cigarette as he looks over to his men digging - this is INSPECTOR

TAYLOR.

(CONTINUED)

5 CONTINUED:

The image freezes and spins off into the corner of the screen...

6 INT DAY NEWS ROOM - The news is being read...

NEWSREADER:

As yet POLICE have not ruled out the

possibility that this mutilated body

could be connected with the murder of

NICKI LOWE, whose body was found on

Hapthron Common last month. (-) Last

night, novelist ELLEN CARTER was awarded

the International Writers Guild Award

for her Book, 'The Colour of fear'...

We see shots from the ceremony, and ELLEN CARTER holding her book and

trophy up for photographers - she smiles radiantly...

NEWSREADER:

She was said to be ecstatic about the

award...

7 INT NIGHT CAR - We are in a car with ELLEN CARTER. She is returning

from the award ceremony and she is anything but ecstatic. She is

bubbling with anger.

Slouched in the seat next to her is her husband, drunken and VERY smug.

8 EXT NIGHT 66 ACACIA AVENUE - The car pulls up behind the house and

toward the garage.

The HUSBAND staggers out of the car to the garage door...The doors

slowly open.

CARTER watches him as he is picked out in the headlights - directly in

front of her - She no longer has fear - just hatred...

Her foot slowly depresses the accelerator, her hands grip the wheel -

the exhaust screams out....

The husband looks up at the car - the lights get brighter...

DISSOLVE TO WHITE - TITLE "WHITE ANGEL"

9 INT DAY LIVING ROOM - A white paint roller rolls up the screen - We

move wider to see CARTER painting a wall - she looks rough. She steps

back to look at the wall she has painted.

9 CONTINUED:

Suddenly she hears a noise - a whisper?

She moves closer to the wall - listening intently - there it is again -

a distant whisper calling her name...

Suddenly two arms explode from the wall grabbing her...

10 INT DAY LIVING ROOM (4 YEARS LATER) - ELLEN CARTER wakes with a start

as a jet flies overhead -

She is dressed in a business suit and looks like she has been to war

for the last few years... She looks directly at the wall in front of

her.

She draws hard on her cigarette as she stands and moves over to the

window looking out over the street.

The billboard now reads - WHITE ANGEL TAKES THIRTEENTH VICTIM - POLICE

AT A LOSS...

11 EXT DAY CAR PARK OUTSIDE SUPERSTORE - We are in a car looking out. A

YOUNG WOMAN (MANDY) exits the shop - she is pretty with long blonde

hair - she is dressed almost predominantly in white.

She goes to her car which is parked in a secluded corner of the car

park. She starts to put her groceries in the boot.

A hand reaches into the glove compartment of the car we are in and a

woman with long red fingernails takes out a pair of scissors. A book

sits in the compartment - well thumbed - it is the COLOR OF FEAR by

ELLEN CARTER.

12 EXT DAY CAR - The WOMAN steps from her car - Slowly she walks over to

the other woman.

MANDY has finished packing her groceries and gets in her car. She

starts her ignition - but the car splutters.

The woman is getting closer...

MANDY attempts again - but the car splutters reluctantly. She hits the

steering wheel in frustration.

The WOMAN walks around the side of the car - her fingers caressing the

cold steel of it's body.

(CONTINUED)

12 CONTINUED:

MANDY tries a last time...

The WOMAN opens the door and sits in. MANDY looks round, shocked and

surprised - she is about to object when the WOMAN raises her hand with

the scissors ready for action...

13 INT DAY WAREHOUSE - A woman's screaming face fills the screen... She is

wearing VERY provocative clothes and red lipstick. She screams again as

she sees the dark figure of a man wearing a hockey mask and holding the

biggest gleaming knife in hand, approach her.

There is a sudden flash of white light as we see the nearby

photographer (LANCE)

14 INT DAY CARTERS OFFICE (CRIME SCENE) - The photo of the screaming woman

is on the desk, the logo CRIME SCENE emblazoned across it...ELLEN

CARTER looks at it as she picks up the ringing phone...

CARTER:

Hello CRIME SCENE - yes, that's me...

LANCE the camera man brushes past, rubbing intimately with CARTER - she

shrugs him off angrily, she isn't going to take any sh*t from him!

LANCE laughs to himself before moving over to SALLY's desk, a young

secretary. He sits on it before giving CARTER a knowing look and turns

his attentions to SALLY - CARTER's eyes roll back in her head.

CARTER:

No - I'm sorry I haven't made my

payments - Friday - Fine - OK?

CARTER watches LANCE as he pesters SALLY - She has a thought. She picks

up her Polaroid camera and focuses on the two - she presses the button

and the photo comes out. She looks at it smiling as it develops.

CARTER:

No - I wont use the card... Fine...

Thank you - goodbye...

She replaces the phone and stands - she walks over to ANDY'S desk, a

young office worker. She passes him the photo...

CARTER:

Could you do me a colour photocopy of

this now?

(CONTINUED)

14 CONTINUED:

ANDY looks at it and smiles...

CARTER heads for DEZEREA's OFFICE, editor of CRIME SCENE and owner of

FANTASY PUBLICATIONS.

15 INT DAY DEZERAE'S OFFICE - There is a tap on the door and CARTER

enters. DEZERAE'S office is in stark contrast with the explosion of

paperwork outside. It's posh, clean and VERY organised.

The walls have framed covers from the the magazines she owns, CRIME

SCENE, TRUE MURDER, ADULT MOVIES MONTHLY and BLUEBIRDS - the office is

an odd mixture of exclusive designerisms and seedy exploitation.
