1. Eugene and Miranda look around the corner at him, Miranda looking terrified.
Miranda: Oh God, what are we going to do?
Eugene: I've heard of a sure fire way of getting the Mara off, but...
3. Miranda turns to him, grabbing through his lapels excitedly.
Miranda: Then we have to do it!
Eugene: Woah! It's not that easy!
4. Eugene sadly watches Oisin twist.
Eugene: Someone has to go into his mind, into the dream plane. There's no guarantee that they'll come back out.
Page 3
1. Miranda pauses, thinking about this.
2. She looks at him, decided.
Miranda: Fine! Put me in there.
3. Eugene looks at her in surprise.
Eugene: What? Why?
4. Miranda walks into the room.
Miranda: He's done so much for me and I know that there's no way I can repay him otherwise. That and…
5. She sits on the edge of the bed.
Miranda: Is it okay if it's because I love him?
Page 4
1. Eugene smiles down at her.
Eugene: I think that's a good reason.
2. He sits beside her on the bed.
Eugene: I still don't think you should do it though. In order to do this we have to separate the spirit from the body. I don't think it should be too hard to get in and out of his mind, but getting back into the body would be the issue.
3. Oisin's hand rests on the sheets.
Miranda: What do you suggest?
4. Oisin's grip tightens, crushing the sheets under his fingers.
Eugene: I already have no body. I'll do it.

3. He looks over his shoulder.
Eugene: What is that?
4. Robotic spider legs pull themselves onto the dock behind Eugene.
5. Eugene pulls himself to his feet as the spider, with Rourke's face, pulls itself onto the dock.
Rourke: Whoooooooo arrrrrrrrre yooooooouuuuuuuu….

Eugene: Oisin! Where are you?

Page 11
1. There is a house or cottage up ahead. It has a high tower with light in it. It looks like it's about to fall apart.

Eugene: Oisin?
Page 13

Rourke: Oisin? Oh God, what are you doing?
3. Eugene winces.
Oisin: No Dad! I'm sorry!
Rourke: This is a good Catholic house! And you decide to have a good wank? I thought I raised you right?
4. Eugene covers his face.
Oisin: Aaaaugh! Dad, no! Hnn!
5. Blood spills out from under the door.
Page 15
1. Eugene stops covering his face, there are tears running down his cheeks.
2. The door swings open, a bloody Oisin stumbling out.
3. Eugene stands, ready to help Oisin, who's head is bleeding horribly.
Eugene: Oisin?
4. The young man stares at him, becoming transparent.
5. Eugene is alone.
Page 16
1. He looks into the room.
2. Oisin (normal) sits on the bed, blood dripping from his hands, which clench a bloody crucifix.
Oisin: I'm a killer. A killer.
3. Rourke lies next to the broken window, a piece of glass shoved into his throat.
Oisin: A Goddamn murderer.
4. Eugene sits beside him.
Eugene: You're not. This is just a dream.
Page 17
1. Oisin stands up, staring at his father's dead body.
Oisin: This is not a dream. This is a memory.
2. Eugene stares at him.
Eugene: You mean you actually killed him? This all actually happened?
3. Oisin drops the crucifix to the ground.
Oisin: It was considered self protection. They said I should have done it earlier.
4. He walks towards the door, blood running through his shirts.
Oisin: They said it wasn't my fault. He deserved it. I need to move on.  
Page 18
1. Eugene reaches after him.
Eugene: Oisin. What happened to you?
2. Oisin looks back at him.
Oisin: You don't want to know.
3. Eugene stands up, his hands in fists at his sides.
Eugene: Yes, I do. There is a creature in here, making nightmares for you. Your past is what's feeding it.
4. Oisin smiles at him, sarcastically.
Oisin: And what, you're going to save me?
Page 19
1. Eugene raises an eyebrow following him out of the door.
Eugene: What's with you? You've changed. You're not the Oisin I know.
2. Oisin smiles at him.
Oisin: Who cares? This is just a dream, right?
3. Oisin's face starts to melt away.
Oisin: I can be whatever I want to be here.
4. His face melts off of Rourke's.
Rourke: I can take control of who I really am.

5. Blood drips from the ceiling.
Page 21
1. Eugene looks up. Stuck to the ceiling, wrapped in fishing line is Oisin. The string is so tight that it cuts into his flesh.
2. They both stare at the door as Rourke pounds into it.
Oisin: Oh God… Oh God! He's here!
3. Eugene goes to the window, hoping to climb out.
Oisin: Eugene! Please! Take me with you!

Eugene: Is it really you this time?

Page 23

Eugene: Sorry. At least you don't seem to be feeling it.
Oisin: Well, it's a dream, right?
3. Oisin falls onto Eugene.
Euegene: Yeah, but still.
4. The door busts open, Rourke standing over the two men, entangled in one another.
