Spoiler! :
The ‘Den of Fornication’ is in the distance. Christian runs from it
He looks back and stares at it before he continues off
EXT – MANSION – FRONT GARDEN - CONTINUOUS
Lust looks over at Christian who has now gone very far off into the distance
Lust raises an eyebrow. She turns to the queue of men in front of her
LUST: I will be right back. So please don’t go anywhere.
She blows them a kiss and leaves entering the house
MAN: Okay miss. We won’t(!)
CUT TO:
INT – PLEASURE ROOM – CONTINUOUS
Church Soldiers are still in the heat of battle
CHURCH SOLDIER #1: Keep firing(!)
CHURCH SOLDIER #3: There’s too many of them(!)
Lust enters, the fight immediately stops. Church Soldiers look up alarmed. The men part to let Lust through
The men look at Lust full of want. Lust smiles brightly back at them
Church Soldiers look at her
Lust and all her companions are now in their Ugly and Evil forms. The men wear chains again and are unaware of them
LUST (Demonically): Christian was to be a client of mine, but you interfering fools…
Church Soldiers look around, then at Lust. She is beautiful again, everything and everyone in the room was as before
LUST (CONT’D) (Joyfully, cynically): …now, now. We can’t have that then. Can we?
The men smile at Lust. The women with Lust remove the shields from the Church Soldiers who are unprepared. Mistress #4 glares at them with great anger as she removes a shield. She throws the arrow back at them
Lust and the room are once again back to looking either
Lust and her cohorts draw swords and walk slowly towards the Church Soldiers who also draw swords. They hold them out and shake with fright
CUT TO:
EXT – MANSION – FRONT GARDEN - CONTINUOUS
There is a sound of swords clashing and fighting. Church Soldiers scream out
CUT TO:
EXT – GRASSLAND – SIMULTANEOUS
Church Soldier #2 looks back at the mansion in horror then turns towards it with his sword drawn
He turns back and makes his way off
CUT TO:
INT – MANSION – PRIVATE OFFICE - SIMULTANEOUS
There is a desk. Around the room are filing cabinets. There are also heads on platter, there are many and there are names inscribed underneath them
In the room are two demonic men, FEAR and BONDAGE. They are ugly and dark but their heads are unseen
Lust enters; she is in her evil form. She looks at them
LUST: Fear, Bondage. There is a man that I want in my possession. He goes by the name Christian. He left running from the main gate.
Bondage turns to Lust
BONDAGE (Demonically): You have most men under your spell. How did this Christian escape you?
LUST: The Church. He saw the truth for a brief moment but I was able to subdue him. But the Church might try to reach him. I need you to straighten him out.
Both demons growl
FEAR (Demonically): It shall be done as you wish.
Both demons rush out growling
There is a knock at the door
LUST: Bring in my trophies.
Several women in their horrid forms enter carrying platters with heads on. They are the heads of the Church Soldiers. Lust laughs
LUST (CONT’D): For ages past men have always adored me.
Women place trophy heads on a mantle each
LUST (CONT’D): It was because of me King Herod nearly gave up up-to half his kingdom and because of me that John the Baptist lost his head.
She goes over to a head. He is entitled ‘John the Baptist’. She walks away from it
LUST (CONT’D): But in truth men haven’t realised that I don’t want up to half their kingdom’s.
She approaches the heads of the Church Soldiers
LUST (CONT’D) (Sinisterly): I want their heads on a platter.
She laughs at the heads. The other women join in. They all start to leave
LUST (CONT’D): Mustn’t keep the men waiting.
CUT TO:
EXT – MANSION – FRONT GARDEN - CONTINUOUS
Lust comes out of the house and walks over to the queue of men. She is now in her beautiful form
The men smile as they see Lust approaching
LUST: I’m sorry about that. I had to attend to something.
She grabs the first man and kisses him
LUST (CONT’D): What’s your name?
CUT TO:
INT – PLEASURE ROOM – CONTINUOUS
Women; now in their beautiful forms, drag the bodies of the Church Soldiers off. Their headless necks aren’t seen
The men in the room are busy talking with the women. They return to go behind the curtains
Sceptical turns to Unbelief
SCEPTICAL: Is Christian going to return?
UNBELIEF: Who cares?
He grabs Mistress #1
UNBELIEF (CONT’D): We’ll worry about him later. (To Mistress #1) Let’s go.
Unbelief with Mistress #1 goes behind a curtained room. Sceptical does the same with Mistress #3
CUT TO:
EXT – TOWN – LATER
A small town. There are some shops, but they are closed. Christian walks through; he looks around at all ends before picking up the pace
Christian arrives at a very small house. It is tatty and has little to no colour.
He gets out a key and opens the door. He enters in
INT – HOUSE – FRONT ROOM – CONTINUOUS
The room is again small with little colour. Candles hang on the walls. There is a small arm chair and a TV with a remote on
Christian shuts the door, lights the candles and slumps down in his arm chair
CUT TO:
EXT – GRASSLAND – SIMULATANEOUS
Fear and Bondage pass through with great speed
They stop and look down at the ground at some footprints. They lead to town
Fear and Bondage growl and hurry down to the town
CUT TO:
INT – HOUSE – FRONT ROOM – CONTINUOUS
Christian is asleep; he is limp in his armchair
A supernatural breeze opens the windows open waking Christian up. The candles blow out
CHRISTIAN (Surprised): What?
The door bursts open, standing there is Fear and Bondage. They change in appearance to look as men in black cloaks. Fear is bigger than bondage
Christian gets up and goes over to them
CHRISTIAN (CONT’D): Who are you?
Fear and Bondage enter
FEAR: Our names are not important.
The door slams shut on its own. Fear raises his arm and the candles supernaturally light themselves. Christian looks at them with fear
CHRISTIAN: What do you want with me?
CUT TO:
INT – PLEASURE ROOM – SIMULTANEOUS
Unbelief comes out from behind a curtained room holding Mistress #1 around the waist. They laugh
MISTRESS #1: Was I good?
Unbelief smiles
UNBELIEF: You were great. You took me to the moon and back.
Atheist comes out with Mistress #2
ATHEIST: I will also be coming again tomorrow night.
Atheist goes over to Unbelief
UNBELIEF: Where is Sceptical?
Sceptical jumps out from behind a curtain. Unbelief and Atheist look over at him
Sceptical runs over to them both
SCEPTICAL: Guys, that was the most wonderful experience of my life(!)
ATHEIST: What a shame Christian missed out.
UNBELIEF: We should really bring him along.
SCEPTICAL: It’s very late.
UNBELIEF: Let’s make our way over to Christian’s, sleep there like usual and then drag him here back here tomorrow evening.
The others nod
CUT TO:
INT – HOUSE – FRONT ROOM – SIMULTANEOUS
Fear is towering over Christian who is trembling
FEAR: Now tell me what you know about the Church.
CHRISTIAN (With panic): I don’t know anything.
FEAR: Our great Prince wants you to have nothing to do with them.
CHRISTIAN (Stammering): I… won’t.
BONDAGE: And why would anyone want to enslave themselves to God when you can be free to do whatever you please. There is no cost to the Den of Fornication. Lust seems quite interested in you.
Christian looks up confused
CHRISTIAN: Is she? Why? Why me?
There is a lengthy silence
BONDAGE: Come back soon, Lust misses you.
FEAR: If you don’t, we may have to pay you a visit.
Christian laughs nervously before Fear and Bondage disappear in a puff of smoke
Christian stares on in shock then falls to his chair deeply asleep
CUT TO:
EXT – TOWN – LATER
Unbelief, Atheist and Sceptical walk through
Christian’s house is now in view
UNBELIEF: There it is.
CUT TO:
INT – HOUSE – FRONT ROOM – FIVE MINUTES LATER
The front door opens, standing there is Unbelief, Atheist and Sceptical. They come in and close the door. They spot Christian in the chair
SCEPTICAL: Christian.
UNBELIEF: Quiet, he’s asleep.
They all lie down and sleep
FADE TO:
EXT – GRASSLAND – EVENING
Christian walks with Unbelief, Atheist and Sceptical. Christian looks around slightly on edge with suspicion
Further away Church Soldier #2 is hunting around. He spots Christian and smiles
CHURCH SOLDIER #2 (To self): There(!) Time to take the law into my hands.
He gets out a cross bow and aims at Christian
He fires it. It hits Christian straight in the heart. Christian screams as he falls to his knees. The three with him run to his aid
ATHEIST: Christian(!)
Unbelief sees Church Soldier #2
UNBELIEF: Won’t you ever go away?
The arrow turns into light and enters Christian. All of Christian’s sins flash before him as he becomes aware of his shackles once more. For every sin a link in the chain is added
Hell fire flashes in Christian’s eyes with the sounds of screaming before he cries out
CHRISTIAN (Loudly wailing): Oh, I’m undone(!) I’m undone(!)
SCEPTICAL: Christian, get a grip.
CHRISTIAN (Wailing loudly): I’ve sinned against God. Wretched man that I am(!) What shall I do?
CHURCH SOLDIER #2 (Shouting): Run(!) You must flee from the wrath to come(!) To the Cave of Deliverance(!) Only there can you save your soul.
ATHEIST: Shut up(!)
Christian looks at Church Soldier #2 with intensity then runs as fast as he can
ATHEIST (CONT’D) (After Christian): No, Christian wait, don’t listen to him.
CUT TO:
EXT – BRIDGE – LATER
A big bridge leads over to a cave on the other side. The bridge is accompanied with Demons in armour
Christian arrives
DEMON (Mocking): There is another(!)
Demons laugh and draw bows. They shoot arrows at him
Christian runs
EXT – SWAMP – CONTINUOUS
Christian runs through
CHRISTIAN: Where is the Church?(!)
Fear and Bondage appear from nowhere and stop Christian
FEAR: What did we tell you Christian? Have nothing to do with the Church. They are the enemies of our Prince. If you don’t listen and turn back now we shall tear you into pieces.
CHRISTIAN: No(!)
Arrows hit into Fear and Bondage who fall to the ground defeated. Christian turns to see Church Soldier #2 accompanied with many other soldiers
CHURCH SOLDIER #2: Just go(!) You must enter the river of blood. It’s the only thing that will save you from your sins.
Demonic roaring is heard. Christian is worried
CHURCH SOLDIER #2: Don’t worry, we’ll hold them off.
Christian runs
CUT TO:
INT – CAVERN PASSAGEWAY – LATER
Christian is past the river of blood looking up at the shining figure. It is Jesus, he smiles
CUT TO:
INT – BAPTISM POOL – LATER
Christian smiles recalling it
CHRISTIAN: And that’s when I saw him all my fears melted away in an instance. Never have I felt such love. (Sobs) Never have I ever felt so wanted.
General Pastor pats Christian on the shoulder and turns to everyone else
GENERAL PASTOR: You have heard Christian’s testimony. Now, get ready. We prepare for battle soon.
Everyone starts to depart
HOPE: Christian, let me show you around.
CHRISTIAN: Okay…
HOPE: Hope.
Christian and Hope walk off together
