Script Excerpt
FADE IN:
INT. SUBWAY CAR – NIGHT
The train SCREAMS through a dark tunnel. Fluorescent lights flicker.
A MAN (40s) sits rigidly, eyes darting back and forth—fast, feral, like creatures trapped behind glass.
VOICE (V.O.)
Incalculable in number... darting back and forth inside his eyes. No need to look. The posturing’s always the same—fear-stricken, scorch-faced, body twitching, head jerking. Left. Right. Straight.
Across the car, ADELAIDE (20s) sits—poised, unreadable. Her gaze cuts through him.
He trembles, studies her in desperation.
VOICE (V.O.) (cont’d)
A legion inside one soul. Usually scrambling for the next metro exit. This time... bold enough to sit beside her.
He moves closer. The lights flicker—once, twice—and for a split second, his reflection reveals something inhuman.
INT. SUBWAY – SAME ADELAIDE (V.O.)
Octoxans—if they’re real—aren’t just predators. They jump railcars in bloodlines, transport through time... searching for a new generation of innocents to consume.
FLASH CUT TO:
INT. CHURCH BASEMENT – DAY (1998)
Children laugh. PETER (50s), immaculate, beloved, leads them in a rehearsal. His hands linger too long on a shoulder.
ADELAIDE (V.O.)
Peter the pedophile isn’t a Halloween monster.
He’s real.
Born into a German-Irish Masonic bloodline from Wisconsin—satanists cloaked in Sunday best.
Montage of pious deceit:
• Peter leading worship.
• Donating money.
• Coaching wrestling.
• Directing children’s theater.
ADELAIDE (V.O.) (cont’d)
To everyone, he’s a patron saint.
In truth—
A choreographer for global traffickers.
A psychopath with an angelic following... among the children of clergy.
FLASHBACK – 1893: THE TRAIL OF TEARS
Dust. Smoke. The crack of rifles.
LUCRETIA (90s) walks barefoot through red clay, her hair streaked silver and grey. Her skin—turmeric cream-colored, unblemished, radiant against the ruin.
ADELAIDE (V.O.)
From 1893 to 2025, the ghosts of times past aren’t metaphors. My ancestor, Lucretia... Choctaw. Denied the Dawes Rolls by a hundred percent Democrat act. Her land erased by signatures.
INT. KITCHEN – DAY (1943)
Lucretia’s gnarled hands clutch a fork, inspecting its shine.
A small GIRL (5) washes, rewashes, until every spoke squeaks.
LUCRETIAYou must be twice as good as the White man.
The girl nods, trembling. Lucretia’s grip—iron, unrelenting—snatches away a doll.
ADELAIDE (V.O.)
Two strengths remained undaunted: her tone... and her grip.
BACK TO PRESENT – INT. SUBWAY CAR – NIGHT
Adelaide meets Peter’s gaze. The air shimmers. The world fractures between past and present, faith and horror.
ADELAIDE (V.O.)
From a fierce centenarian warrior, born in the ripple effects of slavery, comes the reckoning—for an institution still trading children for favors.
Peter smiles. Calm. Sanctified.
ADELAIDE (V.O.)
Peter’s mission?
To surpass his ancestors— to infiltrate the faithful, crown his legacy with the sacrifice of his own child... all while hiding in plain sight.
